Watch options. Storyline Edit. In the city of St. Canard, the people are plagued by the most bizarre criminals, but they have a protector as well, Darkwing Duck Jim Cummings. This bumbling and egotistical superhero battles evil in that fair city with the help of his dumb pilot sidekick, Launchpad McQuack Terence McGovern and his rambunctious adopted daughter, Gosalyn Waddlemeyer Christine Cavanaugh.

This is supported by Darkwing's tendency to be a bit of a glory hound. Gosalyn also makes an effort not to refer to Darkwing as "Dad" when she follows him around crimefighting, although she occasionally does. However, since Drake's middle name is never revealed to the audience, one can assume that the characters might think that Launchpad is merely calling him by his first and middle initials, which isn't unusual and thus wouldn't bring up any tough questions.

It is also worth stating that Negaduck, being the Darkwing of an alternate dimension, would know of Darkwing's true identity and relationship to Gosalyn but never seems to use this information against him, although one possible reason for this is that he may not have decided to start using his alter ego again after adopting "Nega-Gosalyn" Bushroot's Negaverse counterpart says that "Negaduck" is her guardian as opposed to "Drake Mallard", implying that he may not use his secret identity at all and it just never occurred to him that Darkwing might have.

In the current comic series Negaduck realizes that Darkwing uses the Drake Identity when Launchpad is seen coming out of a laundromat with two different pairs of Darkwing's clothes. Negaduck uses this information to launch an attack on Drake at his home causing him to temporarily give up being Darkwing for Gosalyn's sake. He later takes up his dual identity again when he discoverers Taurus Bulba 's plans involving the company Drake now works for.

Darkwing often demonstrates a lack of common sense that is hampered by his tremendous ego. However, unlike Inspector Gadget and similar cartoon crimefighting archetypes, Darkwing is actually extraordinarily competent as a superhero; once he puts aside distractions and ego and focuses completely on the case.

This moment of transition was marked by Darkwing's catchphrase "Let's get dangerous". Posiduck was the embodied good half of Darkwing Duck, created by Megavolt's tronsplitter.

Posiduck was exceedingly kind and gentle, as well as lenient and generally pacifistic. He later became galvanized becoming purely positively good and possessing a friendly nature which Negaduck couldn't stand to battle the identically galvanized Negaduck. This also had the effect of giving him the ability to project beams of pure posi-tronic energy, which he used to instantly repair damage done by Negaduck, and even walk on air.

In the episode Aduckyphobia , Darkwing Duck is bitten by a mutated spider and grows 4 extra arms, giving him six. Having been mutated, Darkwing is compelled to adopt a new persona, Arachno Duck. Darkwing's extra arms seem to have a mind of their own, especially number six.

Darkwing is also able to shoot webbing from his mouth. In the episode " Monsters R Us ", Morgana's father turns Darkwing Duck into a werewolf after Morgana's family realized that Morgana is dating a "normal". After being cursed, Darkwing calls himself, Darkwolf Dog. Darkwing Duck Wiki Explore.

Register Don't have an account? Darkwing: Unless of course, we follow this trail of latex that leaked out of the tank!

Launchpad: Whoa! That guy's amazing! Darkwing: I am the terror that flaps in smack Launchpad : Don't touch it [the jack-in-the-box]! That — that thing ate Quackerjack! Darkwing : hand in box Fascinating. Then we're dealing with a powerful evil force that could — aah!

Launchpad, get a grip. It's just a toy. Darkwing : All right, so I don't practice what I preach. I'm a parent; I can get away with it.

Negaduck: Today St. Canard, tomorrow the world! I Always Wanted to Say That. Drake : If I wanted to listen to a clown, I would've tuned in to a congressional hearing. Tropes J-R. Jail Bake : Spoofed when a criminal on a literal Planet of Hats is given a file that has a cake inside, which he uses to incapacitate the guard. Jerkass Genie : Nodoff, so very much. Jerk with a Heart of Gold : DW is a mild example — he may be vain, bad-tempered, and a gloryhog, but he's a hero to the core and deeply cares about his friends and family.

Agent Grizzlikoff is another example. He hates Darkwing's showboating antics, sometimes with good reason, and tries to sabotage him whenever possible, but when the chips are down "Grizz" is an intensely loyal SHUSH agent. Jerk with a Heart of Jerk : Tank shows a very rare Pet the Dog moment with Honker when his younger brother gets grounded after being falsely accused of a crime and he helps him out to try to expose the real thief.

As it turns out, he was just trying to get Honker out of the house so he could tattle on him to their parents and get him punished even further.

Another villain averts this trope. Reveal my plan? What do you think this is, a cheap cartoon? Taurus Bulba: Tell me quickly, or she'll make quite an ugly stain on the street The Fearsome Five.

Launchpad: Fenton and I used to work for the same guy. Drake: That must have been fun. NegaDuck: Crimes?! Who cares about crimes?! I'm into mindless wanton destruction! Darkwing: Oh, I sure have. We got to join together, in friendship, and mercilessly crush our enemies into pieces! Tropes S-Z. Scary Impractical Armor : Gosalyn is transported into a future where Darkwing Duck becomes unquestioned dictator of the world.

In order to make her his ultimate sidekick, he gives her gifts, including a very imposing scary suit of battle armor.

The only drawback to it was that she wasn't able to move. But she sure looked impressive. It is discussed by Darkwing and Morgana's father. It's entirely possible he made up Drake Mallard just to facilitate the adoption; he certainly seems unfamiliar with normal, day-to-day life.

Except that the episode "Clash Reunion" specifically shows that his name was in fact Drake Mallard in high school.

Which means he likely simply gave up the identity to be a hero, then took it back up to be Gosalyn's father. Self-Deprecation : Two episodes exploring the notion that Darkwing Duck was a cartoon show, the former being a Real World Episode and the latter being a case of Animated Actors , had the show being created by a greedy and egotistical man named E.

Thaddeus Rockwell, whose name was obviously a play on Darkwing Duck creator Tad Stones, who even co-wrote said episodes. Megavolt : The magnet will interpolate the hyperstatic matrix to a random configuration. Darkwing: almost falling off the hideout You see? My luck isn't bad! I could have fallen a thousand feet to my demise! Darkwing: You see? I could have been hit by a car! Drake: watching a cartoon where a character gets squashed by an anvil Now, Gosalyn Drake: Here, Gosalyn, the perfect example of what we were talking about.

If this happened to a cartoon character, he'd just say "iii-eee" or "yeah" and then resume his shape.
