Texas Pete

Texas Pete (or Tex, as he is known to others) is an evil cowboy who wears traditional cowboy clothing and is known for his villainous behaviour.

His goal in life is to take over the world, and for his name to be feared upon. He has attempted many times to conquer the world, yet SuperTed always manages to foil his plans. However, this just further fuels his desire to take over, and with this, he wants to kill SuperTed.

Tex seems to respect and appreciate nobody, another aspect of his mean and evil personality. However, Bulk and Skeleton (Tex’s henchmen) are exceptions when it comes to his respect, as Tex shows more appreciation and respect to them than anyone else (although sometimes takes out his anger on them.) Tex takes it as his responsibility to protect Skeleton and Bulk, them being more vulnerable than him in the dangerous life of crime.

On the subject of Tex and Skeleton, There is a phenomenon in regards to if the two characters are in a relationship. It is a confirmed fact that Skeleton was the first openly gay character in animation and cartoon history. As well as this, the character also takes a huge liking to Tex, often suggesting his appreciation to him through overly flattering comments.

Tex, however, is often portrayed to ignore Skeleton’s remarks. Despite this, he still favours Skeleton.

As well as this, the two characters are often depicted very close. For example: in the episode, Superted’s Dream, Tex and Skeleton are portrayed as Bulk’s parents. Tex is the father figure and Skeleton is the mother figure. They communicate to each other in an appreciative, loving and affectionate manner. Although this episode is only a dream episode, causing the roles of the characters to be uncannon, it still represents Superted’s perception of the ‘couple’, suggesting that he also views them in his day to day life as in a relationship.

In The Further Adventures of Superted, Tex sings a song called Let's all get real 'cos i'm a big deal, kidnaps Speckles from Blotch and sees Bubbles the Clown. In the new superted series, Texas Pete will probably be voiced by Jim Cummings. Texas Pete did not appear in Superted and the pothole rescue, Dot's Entertainment, Sheepless Nights, Leave it to Space Beavers, Ben-Fur, Spotty Earns His Stripes and Ruse of the Raja.

Texas Pete's first ever appearance was in the Original Adventures of Superted episode: SuperTed and the Inca Treasure.

He was voiced by the late Victor Spinetti.
