Oh he’s Clue Boy alright, and the Collector knows it. Tinker is concerned that he will give a “clue” that Clue Boy didn’t really die and the Collector is trying to reassure him.
At a guess I’m thinking Clue Boy is Tinker and he was once a hero but now he doesn’t believe in what he once was, something has killed his old self as it were.
My question is : what happened to ‘The Dark Detective?’ And is the answer to that also the answer to why Tinker (a.k.a. Clue Boy) is so against being called a hero? (and why he’s a henchman working for whichever supervillian pays him?)
Or maybe Tinker is actually the Dark Detective and Clue Boy was his sidekick. Would explain why he’s upset that CB is dead, and would be nice and plot twisty
Given his previous conversation with Mighty Mouse… I mean Man… and the vehemence of his reaction to the collector, it’s pretty clear that he used to be Clue Boy. It is also clear Clue Boy is “dead” because he was disillusioned by the hero biz (probably because someone close to him died). He doesn’t quite seem able to get out of the habit of being a do-gooder, especially if he feels it can be kept a secret.
So Tinker was Clue Boy?
C’mon… Tinker is CLUE BOY!!! Dunt Dunt Duuunnnnnn!!!

I wonder, what Tinker’s backstory is
HINT!! NEXT STORY LINE, PLZ

The problem with that theory is the autograph. My guess is the Collector has to play straight with his clients, so a forgery wouldn’t cut it.
