Thumbskull is a minor recurring villain who is regularly accompanied by his teammates Frightwig and Acid Breath.
Appearance
Thumbskull is a hulking figure and his size often intimidates others. As his name implies, he has a giant toenail on his otherwise bald forehead.
In Omniverse, he looks more muscular and his chin is much larger. He now has one large finger on each hand, complete with a single fingernail, and a single thumb on either hand.
History
Ben 10
Thumbskull first appeared in Last Laugh as a henchmen working under Zombozo. He later then appeared in Ghostfreaked Out when the Circus Freak Trio went solo and they were forced to work under Ghostfreak until his defeat. Their last on screen appearance was in Ben 10 vs. The Negative 10 in a league of Benās villains working under the Forever King to steal the Sub Energy for him.
He was easily beaten by Ben, normally even worse than the others were. His name is a play on the insult "numbskull", as well as the obvious appearance gag.
Omniverse
Thumbskull appears in Something Zombozo This Way Comes when he and his team are re-hired by Zombozo to distract Ben while he is feeding off people's fear. He is defeated by Frankenstrike when he drops a High Striker on him. After Zombozo escaped he and his team are arrested by the Plumbers.
Powers and Abilities
Thumbskull has incredible strength (though inferior to that of Four Arms).
Weaknesses
Thumbskull has limited intelligence, normally serving as the "brawn" of the group, as he is easily outsmarted by intelligent opponents.
