 * 5) Speaking of jealousy, he re-united all his enemies and tried to kill Courage in "Ball of Revenge".
 * 6) That stupid mask, though sometimes it’s funny if used correctly.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 6) His cruel personality is only because of how Ma and Horste Bagge treated him, respecfully calling him "Stupid Boy" and "Useless."
