Tom and Jerry: Blast Off to Mars[]
King Thingg appears as the ruler of the planet Mars and after Grob show Jerry (believing that Jerry is the Great Gloop) to King Thingg, initially praises Jerry believing him to be a god named "The Great Gloop". However, after Tom accidentally destroys the Martian city Toledo due to his clumsiness and large size. King Thingg and the other Martians attempts to dumped Tom in a lava pit with a lava-dwelling monster named Ted. Jerry and Peep are forced to watch. When King Thingg and the other Martians find out that Jerry is not The Great Gloop, but an Earthling, this leads to Peep to betray him and steals a jetpack to save Tom and Jerry from the lava pit and the lava monster before joining Tom and Jerry to head to Earth and thwart the Martians' invasion on Earth, King Thingg first starts off by sending a squad of Martians to the planet Earth in flying saucers, having them equipped with disintegraters, and then an advanced giant robot called the Invince-a-tron as a back-up.
Personality[]
At first glance, King Thingg seems like a well-respected ruler, and can be comical often getting into hilarious mishaps. However it is revealed that King Thingg is paranoid at invasion and often jumps to conclusions as he starts the invasion of Earth to stop the supposed invasion of Mars. By nature however when going into more in-depth of his persona, King Thingg is not really a malevolent being, King Thingg is kind and noble towards his society, and he did greet Jerry and praised him as a savior. However, due to believing the Martian Scientist's incompetence and blatant lies that Jerry and Tom had been invading their home with the Humans dropping them off in order to assault them. Hence why he took him at his word without considering other options and doing more research if humanity is really technically dangerous to his people, since they wouldn't be. This coupled with his overprotectiveness, also gives the indication that he's an anti-villainous character, a villain that lacks most/all qualities that what all villains normally possess.
Appearance[]
King Thingg appears as the ruler of the planet Mars and initially praises Jerry believing him to be a god even though he's an Alien Lord of Martians. However after Tom destroys accidentally the Martian city Toledo and exposes him and Jerry as Earthlings, King Thingg plans to execute them and start an invasion on Earth in order to prevent Mars from being invaded. King Thingg first starts off by sending a squad of Martians to Earth and then an advanced giant robot called the Invince-a-tron as a back-up. It's unknown what happened to him after the Invince-a-tron was defeated, but it's supposed he left Earth alone as the loss of the robot proved to be too much for Mars to handle.
Trivia[]
- King Thingg's paranoia of humans invading Mars is possibly a joke about how some humans are paranoid about alien invaders.
- King Thingg is one of the Martians who wished to invade and conquer Earth after he and the other Martians found out that Jerry is not The Great Gloop, but an Earthling.
