Skeleton is true to his name, being a living Skeleton, despite not possessing any organs. He often falls apart due to his weak structure, and loses bones in the process. This can become quite a problem to him and the other villains as it becomes a distraction and causes them to slow their missions.
An iconic and unforgettable detail about Skeleton is that he is very, very flamboyant. He often cross-dresses, remarks rather outrageous things and is overall very camp as well.
Originally, Skeleton’s main objective was to have a peaceful and quiet life, however he was dragged into the life of crime by Texas Pete and Bulk. Although at first he was bitter about this, he seemed to have found his place in the life of crime and is enjoying it with Tex and Bulk (although the life style doesn’t work with his timid and frightened personality).
A rather humorous thing to note is that Skeleton sleeps in a coffin due to being a literal Skeleton.
Skeleton was voiced by Melvyn Hayes.

SuperTed[]
Skeleton assists Texas Pete along with Bulk in their schemes. He isn't too fond of dark and desolate places and often complains. He is scared stiff of SuperTed whom he refers to as the terrible teddy and is often knocked to pieces by Spotty or most often loses some of his bones.
