* TheDragon: Whenever Pete manages to assemble a large gang, Trudy serves as his second-in-command. In "The Chirikawa Necklace" she was even leading it while Pete was in jail, relaying his orders and dealing with the day-to-day operations.

* KingOfThieves: When given enough time to set himself up, Pete will usually take over crime in Duckburg and reorganize it in his own gang. In one occasion he managed to do ''from jail'', with Trudy working as his substitute.



* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Italian stories usually depict him as not really dangerous... But also tend to point out that it's only because Mickey usually stops him before he can steal some funds for a larger plan, and have shown that with Mickey out of the picture for as little as a week he can become as bad as a threat as the ''Phantom Blot''. A story even openly declared him #2 public enemy, below Phantom Blot but above ''[[ANaziByAnyOtherName doctor Vulter]]'' (who in the same story was explicitely identified as a [[WesternTerrorists terrorist]]).

* NoNameGiven: We probably don't know his real name. Some Italian stories have TheUntwist that he's actually called [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Mr Blot, Phantom]]. However, [[FanonDiscontinuity not every fan agrees]]. The ''Goofy Reporter'' series shows him ''before'' he became the Blot and reveals his name to be Basil Blackspot. However, this story might be an AlternateContinuity and have no bearing on the regular canon. The Phantom Blot has also shown an affinity for the name Bob as shown in the ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' [[ComicBook/DarkwingDuck ''Campaign Carnage'' arc]] and ''"The Return of Phantom Bob"'', but "Bob" might as easily be based on "Blot" as "Blot" on "Bob".
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in some German translations, where the name of the "unmasked" Blot is "Plattnase", often leading to DubInducedPlotlineChange. [[DependingOnTheWriter Sometimes,]] [[DecompositeCharacter Plattnase is treated as a seperate character]] [[MindScrew who is merely impersonating the Blot.]]

Added DiffLines:

* TheDreaded: Most criminals in Mouseton are ''terrified'' of his wrath. Those who aren't will try and doublecross him... And find out that Pete ''will'' beat them bloody and rob them blind or get them arrested trying, and doesn't care if he's arrested in the process as long as he takes them down with him. Even [[DiabolicalMastermind Phantom Blot]] knows better than doublecrossing Pete, and if he has to work with him he'll give him a good deal and keep his word.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDreaded: He normally ''loves'' being feared, and actually banks on his VillainCred for his heists. To the point that when he stopped being feared he temporarily ''wiped out the memory of everyone in Mouseton'' to "correct" the situation ([[TheBadGuysWin he succeeded and escaped arrest]]).

* CharacterCheck: Once in a while, Italian writers remember that the only reason Pete isn't much of a threat is that he usually gets caught by Mickey early, and when he doesn't he ''at least'' turns Mouseton's criminals in his personal gang, depending on how much time he gets without Mickey butting in. In the 2018 story "All of This Will Happen Tomorrow" he managed to keep Mickey off his back for three years, and when he was stopped he had just plunged the world into chaos and was literally seconds away from ''TakingOverTheWorld''.

* AdaptationalAbomination: It's not uncommon for adaptations to turn him from a guy in a suit to a straight up LivingShadow or ink. ''ComicBook/WizardsOfMickey'', notably, has him start out as a normal wizard (well, normal for the setting, at least) not even wearing the costume. It's not until after his defeat and subsequent banishment to the shadow realm that he gets the iconic appearance, albeit with added SpikesOfVillainy.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: One story had a therapist decide Pete lacked stories of good triumphing over evil in his formative years and assigned fairy tales to be read to him by a prison guard before sleep. This apparently traumatized Pete so hard that once he was allowed parole, he started kidnapping professional storytellers and children writers and force them to tell him fairy tales where bad guys win.


Added DiffLines:

Those Two Bad Guys has been made a disambig by TRS. Not enough context to move.


* AscendedExtra: Portis was created to give Pete access to fancy weaponry to expand the kind of stories he could star in. Portis was initially written as his lesser, but he's been increasingly written as an equal to Pete to the point they now qualify as ThoseTwoBadGuys. He's even been the sole villain in a number of stories, usually ones focusing on some new invention or weapon he's testing out -- most often with Mickey as the target.

* LesCollaborateurs: Whereas the [[WartimeCartoon wartime cartoons]] of the period showed Pete, for all of his gruffness and brutishness, on the side of the Allies as DonaldDuck's [[DrillSergeantNasty commanding officer]], the 1943 comic story ''"On a Secret Mission"'' showed Pete working with the Nazi agent Von Weasel to try and steal the Americans' new long-range combat plane known as "The Bat" for Nazi Germany. His reward in case of success is stated to be 5000 bucks.

** In the ''Darkenblot'' series he has the titular Darkenblot, a formidable suit of PoweredArmor, of which there have been five iterations:
*** The prototype was assembled from a number of devices the Blot had tricked the prison's director to let him build, allowing to break out with ease once he can put them in the same place and have a lightning hit them. Also serves to [[{{Foreshadowing}} hint at the real nature of the Darkenblot]], as in the first story it was first shown to be an army of robots and then nothing but a bluff.
*** The original Darkenblot easily thrashed Robopolis' police robots and could fly-but wasn't resistant enough to survive a TurbineBlender, getting wrecked when Mickey tricks PB into flying into one.
*** The Darkenblot 2.0 is the original repaired and improved with heavier armor and more weapons, and inflicts a mighty CurbStompBattle on an army of crazed robots. It gets destroyed when [[spoiler:Phantom Blot activates its self-destruction to destroy the device that had made Robopolis' robots go insane, as by the time he reached it he was out of ammo]].
*** The Darkenblot 2.1 seems identical to the 2.0, making Mickey suspect a copycat until he notices a large yellow button: [[spoiler:it's a powerful EMP device that, alongside a second 2.1, allows Phantom Blot to pull a massive scam to fund his newest plot and build the 3.0]].
*** The Darkenblot 3.0 has even more armor and improved strength than before and, as a response to the circumstances that got the 2.0 destroyed, has switched to energy weapons, but is now too heavy to fly. The improvements are so great that, when confronted with four power armors designed to thrash the 2.0 and what Robopolis expected the 3.0 to be able to do, [[CurbStompBattle Phantom Blot wins in a minute without bothering to fire his guns]].
