History[]
In A Hero Is Born, King Crab, Scalestro, and Lady Web sent a letter to Dr. Colosso that he won an award for Villain of the Decade. When Max and Colosso came in he, Lady Web and Scalestro revealed they lured Colosso to the Villain League to kick him out due to his recent villain activity in the past several years. When he tried to take away Dr. Colosso's cape because Dr. Colosso hadn't done any evil in years, Dr. Colosso lies and says he was busy capturing Thunderman's son, Max. He locks an anklet to his ankle so he can't use his powers, and ties Max and then Dr. Colosso onto a platform above a pot of hermit crabs for them to be eaten alive, when he sees Dr. Colosso trying to save Max.
Phoebe then arrives and fights King Crab while releasing Max and Dr. Colosso. Before Colosso and Max could help, Colosso turns back into a bunny because Max set a timer on the Animalizer. Max then wrestles King Crab over a powerful laser blaster, until King Crab was then distracted by Baby Chloe's bubble power, allowing Max to blast and defeat King Crab. King Crab calls for back up after being blasted by his own laser blaster and being stuck for a while. As Cherry, Phoebe, Max, and Baby Chloe escape, Max tried to use his Telekinesis to get Dr. Colosso but King Crab blocked it with his indestructible crab claw. Hank then arrives at the Old Broccoli Factory and easily defeats the goons, Scalestro, and King Crab but Lady Web escaped and was later captured in Thundermans: Secret Revealed.
In The Thundermans Return, King Crab, Dark Mayhem and Strongdor are visited by the V-Team, who are disguised as superheroes. The villains recognize them, with She-Crab being King Crab's daughter, as their children and the V-Team tell their fathers about their evil plan to use the red seeds from the Power Plant to make an army of supervillains. The V-Team later free their fathers so they could watch what a real evil plan is on Mount Metroburg. However, Chloe teleports the Thunderman Family to stop them and the villains and the Thundermans fight. King Crab fought with Hank, whom he was able to get the upper hand on until Hank tied his pincer claw with his cape and knocks him out by punching him.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
Pincer Claw: King Crab's right hand is adorned with a formidable Pincer Claw, which emulates the versatile functionality of its crustacean counterpart while possessing superhuman strength. This powerful appendage serves as both a shield, enabling King Crab to effectively defend himself against superpowers, and a potent offensive tool. As confirmed by Colosso, the Pincer Claw is impervious to destruction and boasts an unyielding Kung-Fu grip. King Crab takes delight in utilizing its crushing force to joyously pop bubble-wrap and bubbles. Furthermore, with a single forceful strike, he can effortlessly swat Hank away, showcasing the overwhelming might and impact of his claw.

Power Negation: King Crab's claw can't be affected by any superpower, so he is able to use his indestructible claw to stop/block any energy attack. It was shown during his battle with Phoebe where he blocked all of her attacks (Freeze Breath, Heat Breath, and Telekinesis Blast) and when Max tried to grab Colosso with his Telekinesis.
