As well as a propeller, he also has toothbrush and extending boxing glove (which he uses on Skinner) attachments. He later shares a beer with Homer at Moe's Tavern and plans to steal his "theory of a donut shaped universe", before using his boxing glove to hit Homer when he refuses to pay the bar tab.[1] He was later shown in line to evacuate the Earth,[2] and appeared again,[3] and later used his propeller to get out of a corn maze.[4]
