Darkwing Duck
Darkwing Duck is the main character in the
old school
Disney Channel show: Darkwing Duck.
He is from the town of Saint Canard, and his
true identity is Drake Mallard. He is a
crime fighter, and fights the likes of
Megavolt, Dr. Reginald Bushroot, The
Liquidator,
Quackerjack, Negaduck, Tuskernini,
Taurus Bulba, Professor Moliarty, and
Splatter Phoenix.
Drake Mallard has a 9 year old adopted
daughter named Gosalyn, and they live next
door to the very strange Muddlefoots family.
Darkwing Duck has a sidekick, a wonderful
character who we talked about on the first
Who's Who Wednesday, named
Launchpad McQuack.
Darkwing Duck/Drake Mallard have a very
simple wardrobe. Drake Mallard almost always
wears a pink long sleeve shirt with a green
sweater vest with a sort of argyle look to
it. Darkwing Duck on the other hand has a
very dark hero look to him; he wears a blue
turtleneck with a purple jacket over it and
a purple cape, with a really sweet looking
purple crime fighting hat.
Darkwing Duck has a classic quote that he
also says when arriving to apprehend a
criminal, and that is 'I am the terror that
flaps in the night' and then he adds a
different line to it every time, some of my
favorites are 'I am the termite that devours
your floorboards," 'I am the raspberry seed
you can't floss out,' 'I am the itch you
cannot reach,' 'I am the hairball the clogs
your drains,' 'I am the smoke that smokes
smoked oysters,' 'I am the ten dollar
service charge on all returned checks,' and
' I am the low ratings that cancel your
program.'
Darkwing Duck/Drake Mallard are voiced by
Jim Cummings who has voiced in
television shows and movies such as
101 Dalmatians, Disney's Adventures
of the Gummi Bears,
Aladdin, The book of Pooh, Bonkers,
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command,

Duck, Ducktales, Gargoyles,
Goof Troop, House of Mouse, Tarzan,
The Little Mermaid,

say the least he is a Disney Legend.
Darkwing Duck has been retired as a meet and
greet character but can be seen of very rare
special occasions, hopefully with the comic
book series taking off again by Boom
Studios, we will see more of Darkwing Duck
in the future.
