Attempted Murder/Kidnapping: In The Ungroundable, he, with the other Goth Kids, kidnap Mike Makowski with the intent of murdering him.Drug Abuse/Underage Smoking: The Goth Kids are frequently seen smoking cigarettes despite their ages (5 to 10), in addition to abusing cough syrup to hallucinate. Grand Theft Auto/Driving Without a License: In The Ungroundable, the Goth Kids steal Henrietta's mother's car without her permission, even though they are too young to have a license. In Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers, Pete drives a car perfectly, it is unknown how he got the car or knew how to drive it. Treason/Sedition: In the Superhero Saga, the Goth Kids are shown to be part of the Cthulhu cult and supporting Cthulhu's reign of terror. He plays the bass guitar in the Goth Kids' band. Pete is shown to have some magical abilities, as he talks with the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe through the reflection of his coffee in Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers. In Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers, he is shown knowing how to drive a car, despite being 10 years old. He wears an untucked dark-gray dress shirt, black pants, and a silver bolo tie with a red jewel in the center. His shoes appear to be the fictional merge of Creepers and Winklepickers. His hair is dyed black with red roots and is sloppily teased. He also has a long fringe, which he is constantly seen flipping out of the way when it gets on his eyes. Like many instances in the show, Pete appears to have traits that are invisible to the viewer but are visible to other characters (IE Stan mentioned having blue eyes, Kyle mentioned having freckles and a sharp nose), as a boy offhandedly mentions Pete as having "pock marks" on his face. He seems to be the most sympathetic of the goth kids, though that bar is particularly low. It is revealed that Pete's natural hair color is a reddish-brown. Pete is typically the one who suggests burning things as a solution, and is seen playing with his lighter. In Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers Pete can be seen reading a comic resembling the painting "Drowning Girl". The painting has been described as a "masterpiece of melodrama", and is one of the artist's earliest images depicting women in tragic situations, a theme to which he often returned in the mid-1960s. Pete lives alone in a trailer in a trailer park.
