Personality
Initially, Jumba seemingly dedicated his life for destruction, hence all the experiments he made with Dr. Jacques von Hamsterviel. But he eventually has a change of heart. Even at his worst, he shows some standards when he claims he didn’t teach Stitch the phrase “Meega, nala kweesta!”
History
Working with Jacques von Hämsterviel, he created 626 experiments designed to cause chaos. However, he was eventually caught and sentenced to prison.
He is given a chance to repent by capturing 626, as he is the most qualified due to being his creator. However, due to him falling behind schedule, the Grand Councilwoman decides to send Gantu instead. Along with his creation, he eventually becomes a hero and redeems himself. As such, he is eventually given access to his lab once again. He decides to be part of Lilo’s family along with Pleakley.
In the movie Stitch, he is kidnapped by his former partner Dr. Jacques von Hamsterviel, who demands the experiments he helped Jumba create in exchange for him. Hamsterviel attempts to torment Jumba with Experiment 625 (who Gantu had discovered had had his capsule fallen out of the pod), but this fails miserably.
In Lilo and Stitch: The Series, Angel temporarily turns him evil again, but he turns good when Angel has a change of heart.
In Leroy and Stitch, he is forced to create Experiment 629 by Hämsterviel, also known as Leroy. However, he ended up coming up with a way to shut down Leroy and his clones through "Aloha Oe", their one and only weakness.
