Ever wondered who the grumpy guy chasing you through the subways is? His name is Inspector Ted Lutz, but he's more commonly known as the Inspector or the Guard. He's the main antagonist of Subway Surfers, and he's always accompanied by his trusty dog. The Inspector is a middle-aged man with a brown mustache, and he's always wearing his green patrol hat. His whole mission is to catch Jake and his friends, who are graffitiing the subway.

The Inspector is a pretty mysterious character. We don't know much about his backstory or why he's so determined to catch the surfers. Some fans have even come up with their own theories about him. One theory is that he's actually a good guy who's trying to protect the kids from the dangers of the subway. Another theory is that he's a metaphor for Sisyphus, the Greek mythological figure who was doomed to push a boulder up a hill for eternity, only to have it roll back down every time. I remember reading a Reddit thread about this, and it was pretty convincing. The user pointed out that no matter how many times the Inspector catches Jake, the game just restarts, and the chase begins all over again.

Why Does the Inspector Never Give Up?

The Inspector's relentless pursuit is what makes the game so thrilling. He's always right behind you, and you can never let your guard down. I’ve had my fair share of close calls where I thought he was going to catch me, but I managed to slip away at the last second. It's that constant threat that keeps me coming back for more. It's like he's not just a character in a game, but a real rival who I have to outsmart.

One of my favorite things about the Inspector is his design. He's got this classic, old-school cop look that's both intimidating and a little bit goofy. I once tried to draw him for a school project, but I could never get his mustache quite right. It's just so iconic. It's clear that the game developers put a lot of thought into his character, and it really shows.

Of course, the Inspector isn't the only character in the game. There are a ton of other cool surfers to unlock, each with their own unique style and abilities.
