* CheerfulChild: For the most part. He's good-natured and upbeat, and while he does have a strong mischievous side, he's on the whole ''far'' less trouble than Ellsworth.
* CompositeCharacter: A translation version. Since he and Ellsworth seldom appear in the same story, some translations of the comics (like the Norwegian one) tends to treat them as the same character.



* {{Flight}}: His biggest asset is that he can fly.



* LargeHam: Not all the time, and since he's a comic book character it's not always that noticeable, but he's got a bit of a fondness for ChewingTheScenery, especially if he has an audience.
* MotorMouth: He's a bit of a chatterbox; he can go on at length about pretty much any subject if you let him.

* BadassDecay: When he first appeared, even Black Spot was terrified of him, and Pete admits he's the only criminal who ever escaped him only because of sheer luck, but in later appearances he's not the infallible cop of his debut anymore.

* ShoutOut: Prebbles Blackstone is named after Pebbles Flintstone from ''Main/TheFlintstones''. The why probably has to do with ''"The Creepy Case of Ghost Rock Basin"'' being a Western Publishing era comic when Western Publishing at the time also produced comics for Creator/HannaBarbera properties.

No idea what his actual translated nickname was in other languages so feel free to change it if you ever come across the same story

Added DiffLines:

* ReformedBully: His history with Mickey and Goofy is revealed to be based on this in one of the stories: a kid nicknamed Sammy The Harrasser used to bully everyone at the school they and their friends went as a kid, but everyone finally had enough of his schenanigans when it seemed like that he had stolen a number of items from them, including the teacher's diamond engagement ring. Instead of joining in with the rest of the class to blame him, Mickey and Goofy believed him when he insisted that he didn't do it and it didn't take them long to discover that a ThievingMagpie had stolen the items instead. As a result, everyone apologized to him, he promised to clean up his act, asked everyone to stop using his bully nickname and use his actual name instead: [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Seamus O'Hara]].

* TheWorldIsNotReady: Why he shares almost nothing of his discoveries. Considering [UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki what happened in the real world between his original appearance and his return in "The Delta Dimension"]] (something he actually alludes to) and what happens in the latter story when Pete gets his hands on the blueprints of some of his inventions, you can't deny he's right.

* LackOfEmpathy: Shows this trait in "The Delta Dimension", where his comment on [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki what happened between that story and his original appearance]] is "Mankid took my formulas and used them ''as they wanted''. And in the meantime, I got a bit ''forward of that''".
