In the series he was from a family which had received a valuable land grant in California from the government of the Viceroy of Mexico under Spain. Their family had then lost it when Mexico lost California to the United States. His original goal seems to have been recovery of his family's property; as the series progressed, however, he became more and more megalomaniacal.

  • In the series he was from a family which had received a valuable land grant in California from the government of the Viceroy of Mexico under Spain. Their family had then lost it when Mexico lost California to the United States. His original goal seems to have been recovery of his family's property; as the series progressed, however, he became more and more megalomaniacal. Loveless was introduced in the 1965 episode "The Night the Wizard Shook The Earth," which was the show's third televised episode (although it was produced sixth). In total, the character appeared in ten episodes. He was known as a technological genius, producing gadgets far ahead of his time. Loveless initially had two constant companions, the gigantic Voltaire, embodied by real-life giant Richard Kiel, and the beautiful songstress Antoinette, portrayed by Dunn's nightclub-act singing partner Phoebe Dorin. Voltaire disappeared after the doctor's third encounter with the agents; Antoinette, after the sixth. However, they each left such an indelible impression on fans that the 1990 comic book miniseries from Millennium Publications, a sequel to rather than an adaptation of the TV program scripted by Mark Ellis with art by Darryl Banks, included both characters. According to the The Wild Wild West Revisited TV movie, in 1880 Loveless eventually died from anger and frustration at having his plans consistently ruined by West and Gordon (Michael Dunn died in 1973), so his son (played by Paul Williams) subsequently seeks revenge on the agents.
