Loveless, he appeared in the 1999 film adaptation Wild Wild West, played by Kenneth Branagh and featuring several major changes from his original television counterpart. For instance, Branagh's Loveless was a former Confederate military engineer who had lost his lower body in an accidental explosion. So, he used a steam-powered wheelchair in order to move around and created similar innovative contraptions. Loveless was incensed at the South's surrender and sought to dismember the United States and distribute its territory among the Native American tribes and its original European colonizers (while keeping the Northern Plains for himself, which he would rename "Loveless Land"). He also has a personal history/feud with Jim West; a prototype tank he designed massacred the population of a freed slave colony, including West's parents (in the film, West, portrayed by Will Smith, is African-American as opposed to being Caucasian in the original television series).
