Darkwing Duck

Personality:   Drake Mallard (better known by his alter-ego Darkwing Duck) is the titular protagonist of the animated TV series of the same name. A self-absorbed vigilante with delusions of grandeur, Mallard moonlights as St. Canard’s resident superhero with the aid of his bumbling sidekick Launchpad McQuack. His adventures typically involve fighting a rogues' gallery of villains while simultaneously leading a domesticated, mild-mannered life as the adoptive father of the orphaned Gosalyn Waddlemeyer. Darkwing is a short, middle-aged anthropomorphic mallard duck with white feathers, a large forehead, two lines on his forehead (forehead wrinkles), an orange bill, and webbed feet. When in civilian attire, he wears a salmon collar shirt, with a green vest over it. Drake Mallard was born and raised in St. Canard, sharing a house with his parents and his pet fungus, Freddie. At school, he was in Ms. Boriscowski's class for a time. Over the decades, said school has been replaced with a garage. As a child, he was weak and fearful, but good-natured and already a fan of comic books. He especially admired the comic hero Superpig, who has a whole array of special abilities. A lesser element in his youth was his classmate Lamont, the younger brother of a merciless criminal known as the King. Lamont forced Drake into the gang and he would've become a criminal with them. He joined the Junior Woodchucks for a time and held on to the guidebook well into his crimefighting career. From his great-great-aunt, who was a sideshow contortionist, he obtained lessons that would prove useful during many encounters with villains. He also learns inner strength techniques from Tibetan yogis during his childhood. By the end of high school, Drake enjoyed acting as a detective, unaware his fellow students were bothered by his desire to make a case out of everything. He was exemplary enough, though, that Mrs. Waddlesworth entrusted the class to him when she had to be elsewhere for a bit. Drake was bullied a lot, mostly by Ham String and his even more terrible girlfriend Preena Lott. One other student who also suffered indignities was Elmo Sputterspark, whose fate would eventually play a huge role in Drake becoming Darkwing. Hours before prom, Elmo was working on an experiment when Ham and Preena came in and tied him to his machine that induced static in people. They left him to his fate, which resulted in his electricity-based mutation and his turn to supervillainy under the name Megavolt. Megavolt's first course of action was revenge. Drake tried to stop him as himself at first but was easily knocked aside. Looking for an identity to work under so he'd have the advantage of being taken seriously, he dressed up in what he found backstage. After a little brainstorming, he chose to name himself Darkwing Duck. His battle with Megavolt ended in the first victory Darkwing Duck could claim. During his solo days, Darkwing had his living space within Darkwing Tower and was focused exclusively on his superhero identity. It wasn't until he met and adopted Gosalyn Waddlemeyer, as well as met and hired Launchpad McQuack, that he made room for a civilian identity in his life again to provide Gosalyn with a steady home life. The three of them came to live on 537 Avian Way, next door to the Muddlefoots. Despite that Drake looks down on them and is regularly bothered by their neighbor-y ways, they consider him a great friend and aren't a risk to his secret identity. The brains of the Muddlefoots, youngest child Honker, became Gosalyn's best friend and either that friendship or those brains brought him into the Darkwing fold. Darkwing is sometimes sent on missions as a freelance agent of SHUSH, a covert crime-fighting organization that deals with criminal activity that the normal authorities cannot handle, though he is not officially employed by them. Darkwing's SHUSH missions most often have the aim of thwarting various evil schemes of the Fiendish Organization for World Larceny (or F.O.W.L.) and missions can be sent to him covertly via a messaging system called the Flashquack, which is a miniature Thunderquack. While he is known (to an extent) as a hero in St. Canard, he frequently deals with citizens misunderstanding him. Numerous episodes bring up the fact that he's very unpopular, due to his intimidating tactics and dark appearance Civilian name: Drake Mallard. Superhero name: Darkwing Duck. Age: 39. Species: Duck.
