Appearance[]

History[]
Ben 10[]
Thumbskull first appeared in Zombozo-Land, where he and the other members of the Circus Freak Trio were helping Zombozo execute his plan to enslave the world with his Hypno-Tower. He was defeated by Cannonbolt.
In Vote Zombozo, Thumbskull and his fellow Circus Freaks robbed a bank while Zombozo hypnotized the citizens of Sleepytown. He alongside the rest of the Circus Freak Trio were convinced to quit working for Zombozo by Four Arms, and went on a vacation.
In Speechless on the Seine, Thumbskull accompanied Zombozo and the other Circus Freaks to Paris. Ben found Thumbskull juggling on a unicycle, and used XLR8 to chase him down, leading him to Zombozo. He was later instructed to steal artwork from the Louvre, but was stopped by Gwen and Max.
In Cirque Us, Thumbskull attempted to steal charity money from a school, but was beaten by Humungousaur. He later plowed through a wall to make for their getaway. He was then arrested by the police alongside the other Circus Freaks and Zombozo, amidst the latter's attempt to cash his stolen check.
