- " Blathering Blatherskite"
- GizmoDuck was created by Gyro Gearloose (in "Duck Tales"). The code word to activate it is "Blatherskite", a word which Gyro assumes no normal person would use. (Unbeknownst to him, one of Fenton's most frequently used sayings was "blathering blatherskite".) As fate would have it, Fenton wanders too close to the suit and utters his favorite expression, thus gaining a secret identity as a superhero.
- From then on, Fenton always uses "blathering blatherskite" to become Gizmoduck, despite only needing the second word - it's possible that he doesn't realize he doesn't have to say the entire phrase.
- The GizmoDuck suit itself balances on one tire and is capable of producing any kind of device that a cartoon could possibly produce. Akin to the many devices used by Inspector Gadget, these include anything from weapons (mostly non-lethal) to tools. Many of these devices are button-activated.
- The suit contains a built-in video screen, which Fenton uses for communication, although his television-addicted mother finds another use for it after the two discover that the suit can be deactivated with a television remote control.
- As Fenton doesn't quite know how the suit works (especially in the earlier episodes), one last-ditch battle tactic that he relies on is to push all of his buttons, which has very unpredictable (but humorous) results, usually ending in victory (although leaving Fenton battered and bruised). Hence this technique can be considered double-edged.
