Thomas Flyswatter was a minimum wage employee at Swatter Incorporated, a factory that specialized in the creation of pest-killing implements, such as the flyswatter. It was a dangerous environment due to the machines lying around at the factory. Everybody there seemed the know this, except him. Nobody warned him about the dangers of the conveyor belts. One day when making flyswatters, he "tripped" and "fell" onto a conveyor belt in front of him. and "couldn't get off" it. (Even though it shows he walked on and stayed on it, even a red button in all caps saying 'STOP CONVEYER' was there, showing that he probably did this on purpose, a reason only known to him) It sent him into the mouth of the flyswatter-maker-machine. He was crushed, melted, and spun around at a rapid pace, and after the machine was done, he came out as a sentient flyswatter. |appearance| Thomas Flyswatter used to be human, however, at some point at work, he was crushed, melted, and spun around in a flyswatter maker machine to become composed of multiple flyswatters, assuming for each limb and head. He wears a neon yellow/greenish construction vest with a black long sleeved undershirt, a blue tie, black pants, brown shoes, and wore a fake moustache as a disguise after encountering Joe and Gerbo. (NOTE; The flyswatter and fly on the right of his vest could be the logo for "Swatter Incorporated".) In his first appearance, in "A Familiar Foe", he is wearing a navy-blue cloak which covers his body, including a hood which covers most of his head, except his face, which is covered by the shadow of the hood, yet still has a flyswatter shape.
