Wilbur Van Snobbe, a preteen scion of financial privilege, initially embodies arrogance and petulance, wielding his family’s status to dominate peers. His entitled schemes frequently target Lulu and Gertie Greenbean, escalating into vengeful retaliation—including orchestrating Gertie’s family expulsion from town via familial clout. Early portrayals in comics and adaptations emphasize his snobbery, though Gloria Goode receives uncharacteristic respect, hinting at layered dynamics. His signature purple suit and blonde curls shift to a green ensemble and red hair in anime iterations. A bear-attack incident forces him into makeshift disguises, briefly adopting the alias "Mimi." The anime reimagines his arc, tempering malice with growth. Aligning with Tubby’s "The Fellers," he transitions from Lawful Evil to Neutral Good, embracing camaraderie and collaborative problem-solving. As a strategic asset to the group, he counters rivals like the diminished Westside Boys trio, balancing intellect with newfound loyalty. While wealth and charm remain constants, the anime prioritizes adaptability over antagonism. Interactions with Tubby and Lulu weave residual pride into cooperative efforts, underscoring a nuanced shift from solitary schemer to team-oriented tactician.
