Angus MacGyver (often just called MacGyver, or Mac) is the title character and protagonist of the tv series and the comic book MacGyver.

He always has a swiss army knife with him to help make or re-invent gadgets. He works for the Phoenix Foundation which has ties to the US government but can go and do things which the government can not.
On screen he was played by actor Richard Dean Anderson in the 1980s and Lucas Till 2010s and created by Lee David Zlotoff and Henry Winkler.
