Physical Appearance[]

Data is a young boy of Chinese origin with short black hair, black eyes, and a short height. He wears a light gray sweater and jeans, with a large gray overcoat on as well, worn out and covered in a number of ironed-on patches. He also wears white Nike sneakers. Most notable, however, is his chestplate and belt, of which he has hooked up to multiple inventions, making him a lot like a walking multitool. He also wears a big backpack, where he keeps many useful items and tools.

Trivia[]

  • Data and his father both share an interest in inventing.
  • Data is a fan of the fictional character James Bond. He has "007" scrawled onto his belt and listens to the James Bond theme while ziplining down from his house.
  • James Bond producer Albert Broccoli used the musical notes from Close Encounters of the Third Kind in the 1979 film Moonraker. As thanks, Broccoli permitted Steven Spielberg to use the James Bond theme without payment of royalties in any of his movies. This was seen during Data's ziplining attempt into the Walsh residence.
