And for penance, I've taken to scrounging up all possible gatch sites for some comparisons between Zoltar and Katse.
Best I could come up with was Katzemania in the BK Factlets section. In respect to copyright rules, here is the link :
http://www.xs4all.nl/~calezane/tribute/bkfactlt.htm#factlet
Even tho dang you should read the whole page..(its a real eyeopener esp the take on the whole Joe vs Katse thang!!), here's the excerpt I found pertaining to this threads discussion :
| quote: | | Mad? Suffering hormonal imbalance? There is no conclusive evidence of either. Too much energy? He does overreact to absolutely everything: a whistle makes him dive under the table, the wrong reply makes him lash out, the slightest encouragement makes him sing and kick his heels. When in uniform, he isn't calm for a moment, not even when things are going his way. (The Onna Taicho, on the other hand, is icily calm and ruthless. It may be a hormone thing, although it's suggested the male and female form have different personalities.) A coward? Probably not, as he does put himself in great personal danger (sneaking into Nambu's office just to gloat??) and can't seem to learn that getting too close to a certain Eagle will always lead to bruising. Stupid? More an airhead than actually thick; he seems to be able to speak any language, fly any vehicle and adapt to any social situation. Nasty? Very. Impatient? Extremely. And, as comes out right at the end, desperately unhappy. So maybe his villain behaviour is more a question of circumstance than of personality. And maybe not. |

Also found an informative comparison between Gatch and BOTP by by Dee Ann Latona on her article on the amercanisation ( bastardisation) of Gatchaman in Anime 101 : Coming to America article.
the link to that one is :
http://r.empstudios.com/Zines/cyber.v3
Pertaining extract:
| quote: | Galactor itself is run by two beings: an alien
sent to Earth to observe it named Sosai X, and a
hermaphrodite created by Sosai from a set of boy and
girl twins, named Berg Katse. Katse is brilliant,
but self-centered and lacking in common sense.
He/She runs the organization emphasizing that every
member should look out for themselves. On several
occasions, one sees Katse punish guards for stopping
to help one another when they're under a deadline.
By the end of the series, Sosai has gone a bit funny
in the head and has decided to destroy the planet
entirely. Katse goes along with the plan mostly
because Sosai has promised that Galactor will rule
the world after the plan is complete. When the
Gatchaman team corners Katse and it is revealed that
Sosai is really just trying to destroy the entire
planet, Katse finally loses it and jumps off a cliff
into the boiling lava below. |

And heaven knows where I got this sentence from, ( *dont* ask just *how* many searches and sites Ive gone through tonight! *ugh!!*) :
"Episode 3 illustrates the difference between the series: In<I>Battle, when a whiny little boy gets in the way of a giant mummy attacking an airport, the evil Zoltar warns him away; in<I>Gatchaman, villainous Berg Katse tells the mummy to step on the child. "
