== Charactah Account ==
Pete is the arch-nemesis of Mickey Mouse, normally characterized as a cigar-smoking thug with a ruthless and tyrannical personality. Pete’s most frequent scheme involves kidnapping Minnie Mouse for lecherous purposes, but his crimes and victims have varied over the years.
Pete is an overbearing, authoritative, loud-mouthed bully who constantly wreaks havoc on those around him. As the definitive foil to Mickey Mouse, Pete encompasses a variety of traits typically associated with a thuggish villain including an excessive use of cigars, a deep, commanding voice, and a dangerously short temper. Self-serving and arrogant, Pete's villainous acts have varied in scale and depth over the years, and generally depend on the story he's participating in; at times, Pete can be a simple, yet greedy crook looking to become rich beyond belief, a tyrant seeking power and control, or a trigger-happy sadist who causes harm for mere pleasure. In some roles, Pete has a legitimate profession, but tends to carry his business in an intimidating manner. Whatever the case, Pete is always up to trouble.
Within the Mickey Mouse universe, Pete is notorious for his monstrous nature. He takes great pride in this reputation. In recent years, Pete's character has been fleshed out to explain why he acts in such a cruel manner; he believes that those who cannot be loved, should be feared, and that kindness is weakness that will lead to your downfall. In relation to this, some of Pete's ambitions are motivated by his underlying insecurity and a need for attention/validation, and this seems to play a part in his rivalry with Mickey Mouse, a figure with all the success and popularity Pete longs to have.

== Trivia ==
* Despite officially being a cat, Pete was originally conceived as a bear.
* Jim Cummings, Pete's voice actor, has stated Pete is his all-time favorite Disney character.
* Pete and Goofy are the only characters from the classic Disney shorts to have a biological child, instead of a traditional niece or nephew. Pete has P.J. and Pistol, and Goofy has Max. Both are also the only characters to have each had a wife, as opposed to just a girlfriend. Pete has Peg in Goof Troop and Goofy has an unnamed wife in the 1950s George Geef shorts.
* In contrast to virtually all of Pete's other appearances, Goof Troop presents Pete as having no fur below the neck of his body, giving him the bare-skinned look of a human, despite his still being an anthropomorphic cat in that show. However, he is fully furred in A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie.
* Pete was referenced by Candace Flynn in the Phineas and Ferb episode "The Baljeatles".
* The disappearance of Pete's peg-leg was addressed by Mickey Mouse comic writer Floyd Gottfredson, in the 1941 story The Mystery at Hidden River; in one panel, Pete tells Mickey that he had his peg-leg replaced with a more realistic prosthetic.
* Pete actually did "win" on one occasion, that being the cartoon The Barn Dance, where his elegant dance skills earned him the dance with Minnie, who tired of having her feet stepped on by the less-talented dancer, Mickey (this cartoon notably had Pete depicted as a well-mannered, good-natured gentleman, which is the complete opposite of his usual evil, menacing villain ways).
* According to David Block, a director on the animated series DuckTales, Pete's names had caused some controversy during the 1980s; his aliases, Peg-Leg and Black Pete, could not be used in licensing or show scripts due to legal issues. As a result, he was referred to as either Bad Pete or simply Pete during this period of time.
* Pete is one of the few portrayals of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come with a speaking role in any adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
* During World War II, Pete served as Donald Duck's Sergeant in his wartime shorts (1942-43).
