Dr. Miguelito Quixote Loveless is a fictional character, a villain who appeared in ten episodes of the 1960s television series The Wild Wild West. He is a brilliant dwarf portrayed by Michael Dunn. As a mad scientist, Dr. Loveless conceived numerous plots which were always foiled by Secret Service agents James West and Artemus Gordon, though he was always prepared with an escape plan.
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. His original goals were in fact quite philanthropic; with his returned land he professed plans to create a haven where the disadvantaged could live unfettered by worry and strife.
Loveless was introduced in the 1965 episode "The Night the Wizard Shook The Earth," which was the show's third televised episode. He was known as a technological genius, producing gadgets far ahead of his time; while his first season episodes featured inventions that weren't really invented until later such as cathode-ray tubes, planes and a synthesized LSD-like hallucinogen, but starting in the second season, he began to display the ability to produce completely sci-fi inventions, including a powder that shrank Jim West to one-twelfth his original size and a device that traps people in paintings.
