Mayor Humdinger/Trivia

*"Humdinger" is defined as a person or thing of remarkable or superior excellence. This is indicative of the Foggy Bottom mayor's haughty, egotistical attitude and great desire to be the best in anything in which he participates.
*Mayor Humdinger is known to be furious when he loses. He also has a strong rivalry with Mayor Goodway.
*It is proven he does not care if his actions hurt somebody as long as he wins. (e.g. cheating at basketball and hurting pups).
**He also has no problem when it comes to stealing something if he wants it.
*He has a nephew who is an only child named Harold Humdinger, introduced in the Season 5 special "Mighty Pups".
*He is the cousin of the Cheetah, a race car driver who was introduced in the Season 6 special "Ready Race Rescue".
*His mother Helga Humdinger made her physical debut in the Season 8 episode "Pups Save a Chicken Tulip", but she was mentioned as "Mom" or "Mommy", in previous episodes.
*He is the first antagonist and the first dog/person to purposely create a sandstorm, along with the Kitten Catastrophe Crew as the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh to do so to blind Ryder and Chase from retrieving the stolen piñata, the eighth was Chase while saving the Lookout, the ninth was The Cheetah while distracting Danny and Lionel Lightspeed to steal Lionel's race car and the tenth, eleventh and twelfth were the Ruff-Ruff Pack while preventing Skye from retrieving Mr. Porter's donut maker.
*Mayor Humdinger's manner of dress and behavior resembles the classic archetypical mustached villains (like Snidely Whiplash or Dick Dastardly) and even shares several many classic mannerisms such as stroking his mustache, villainous laughter, and hand-rubbing. His habit of cheating in various competitions in Season 2 is similar to Dick Dastardly from Hanna-Barbera's Wacky Races. In "Pup-Fu!", he depicted even more like a typical villain to the point he has a secret lair for himself and the Kitten Catastrophe Crew, which has a monitor he uses to spy on his enemies (a villainous trope).
*In Season 1, while antagonistic towards Mayor Goodway, Mayor Humdinger for the most part played fairly in all the competitions he competed in. However, in Season 2, he began to cheat and / or play unfairly in order to win. The likely reason for this change is that in Season 1, he had generally been undefeated in the various competitions and was quite confident in his ability to defeat his competition and win. However due to being defeated by Mayor Goodway and Mr. Porter in at least two different competitions due to help from the PAW Patrol, he likely lost his confidence that he could successfully win competitions fairly and began to cheat and play unfairly in order to ensure his (and / or his town's) victory. He even creates the Kitten Catastrophe Crew to assist him in cheating and to counter PAW Patrol.
*In the early episodes, Mayor Humdinger's voice was low-pitched and sorta more deeper, in later seasons, his voice got a bit more high-pitched and more man-liked.
*The only person besides Mayor Goodway he lost to in competitions he competed in was Mr. Porter in "Pups Take the Cake".
*In "Pups Save the PAW Patroller", it is revealed his favorite show is "Kassandra the Cruelest Kitten", a show about a kitten who does bad things, which may have been his inspiration for creating the Kitten Catastrophe Crew.
**He also owns a lunchbox with a picture of Kassandra the Cruelest Kitten on it, shown in "Pups Save a Trash-dinger".
*Mayor Humdinger is a genius inventor. He made the same outfits for the kittens as the pups and he excellently understands mechanics because, based on his knowledge and skills, he invented a robo-cat and a robo-shark.

*Mayor Humdinger looks very similar to Sir Topham Hatt from Thomas & Friends, except Sir Topham Hatt does not have mustache and wears black instead of purple. Additionally, he is bald through Humdinger has some hair behind the head and above the ears. Sir Topham Hatt did have a twin brother with a mustache, however, though it is black compared to Humdinger's blonde.
