Can you make sure that your new MacGyver has some flaws in their character?
We have seen too many nerds on TV that are awesome at everything, like it is some kind of superpower. I understand the character will need to be good at problem solving and building stuff because that is who they are. I won't assume anything about your new character, but please stay away from the putting the following into the same character: knowing more than 2 languages, mastering a skill in a short amount of time, computer hacking, having an encyclopedic knowledge about any one topic and knowing everything about a region's history.
