As the series progressed, he has become less antagonistic since his debut episode, though he is still portrayed as a rival to Rikochet in some episodes. In "Asphalt of Doom", he and The Flea were even shown working together to prevent the students of The Hairy Knuckles Academy from cheating their way to victory in the race.
