History[]
Having presented her Time Machine to Dr. Claw, she was ordered by Dr. Claw to do away with Gadget's first ancestor in the prehistoric era to prevent Gadget from being born, and bring back some dinosaurs to destroy Metro City. However, Thelma's attempts were thwarted by Gadget, Cave Gadget and Brain, which led to her arrest.
After serving her brief time in jail, Thelma was sent to Ancient Rome to steal the treasure of Rome and do away with Gadgetorum, as well as Gadget. During the chariot race, Thelma found the secret vault containing a scroll which was Rome's treasure, and she takes it back with her to Dr. Claw, not knowing it was a recipe for veal scallopini, until Claw found out later.
In her next mission, Thelma went back in time to Victorian London to kill Char Gadget and Chimney Gadget and steal the crown jewels from the Tower of London for Dr. Claw. However, her thugs' attempts to away with the Gadget Clan failed, and Penny swapped the real crown jewels with fake ones. When Thelma stole the fakes, she presents them to Claw, who finds out that they're fake, and she failed him for the last time.
