!!Comic-exclusive characters

[[folder:Alternate Darkwings]]

The second arc of the Boom Studios comic book had Negaduck and [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales Magica DeSpell]] kidnap and hypnotize every alternate version of Darkwing Duck they can find in the multiverse. Quiverwing Darkwing and Dark Warrior Duck end up turning on Negaduck and Magica and eventually the other Darkwings come to their senses as well.
----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Negaduck and Magica use mind control to enslave the alternate Darkwings.
* CaptainErsatz[=/=]LawyerFriendlyCameo: Many of the alternate Darkwings are parodies of other superheroes and copyrighted characters, including, but not limited to, [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} Popeye the Sailor Man]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman and Robin]], [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Bart Simpson]], and [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]].
* KitchenSinkIncluded: One of the alternate Darkwings is a flying kitchen sink.
* LegacyCharacter: Quiverwing Darkwing is from a reality where Gosalyn Mallard died. That reality's Darkwing honored her memory by taking up her costumed identity of Quiverwing Quack.
* MonsterMash: There is a vampire Darkwing, a Creature from the Black Lagoon Darkwing, a Frankenstein Darkwing, a mummy Darkwing, and a werewolf Darkwing.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: There are alternate Darkwings that parody real-life musicians, including Music/LadyGaga, Music/TheJonasBrothers, and Music/{{KISS}}.
* NotBrainwashed: [[spoiler:Dark Warrior Duck reveals that Negaduck and Magica did not hypnotize him and that he instead was playing along so that he could use his extremist methods to clean up the crime in St. Canard.]]

[[folder:Femme Appeal]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/378064028603f632a45fc4e5c34d89b2.jpg]]

-> A foxy F.O.W.L. agent who turns out to be a double agent working for S.H.U.S.H.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Her name and occupation are a nod to Emma Peel from the British television show ''Series/TheAvengers''.
* MamaBear: Femme Appeal, seeing the captured Gosalyn and Honker, decides that the combination of Duckcthulhu rising and children being in danger is sufficient reason for her to blow her cover as TheMole to FOWL.
* MsFanservice: She wears a SpyCatsuit.
* ReverseMole: She initially appears to be a F.O.W.L. agent, [[spoiler:but the end of the "F.O.W.L. Disposition" arc reveals that she is really on S.H.U.S.H.'s side.]]
* WouldNotHurtAChild: When she sees Gosalyn and Honker inside F.O.W.L. headquarters, she's appalled that two children are in danger.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Duckthulhu]]

A demon of unfathomable power whose mere presence drives people into insanity and mutates them into horrid monstrosities. Introduced in the 2010 comic series, F.O.W.L. High Command intended to awaken him and use him for world domination. Needless to say, EvilIsNotAToy.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Obviously, a Cthulhu parody.
* EldritchAbomination: Named after the most famous one of all.
* EvilIsNotAToy: F.O.W.L. quickly learned that Duckthulhu could not be controlled as they'd hoped.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''F.O.W.L. Disposition''. The F.O.W.L. High Command intended to awaken him for their own intentions, but he proved to be too powerful to control.
* LovecraftLite: While dark by the story's standards, it's sorta hard to take seriously compared to the original Cthulhu. Especially with that duck bill.
* SkewedPriorities: When Morgana makes him disintegrate in the arc's revision for the Joe Books omnibus collection of the comic, his biggest concern about his hand disappearing is that he won't be able to fist bump.
* TakenForGranite: Starts off as a statue.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chronoduck]]
A villain who only appeared in a story from the Boom comic's annual issue.
----
* TimeTravel: Comes with the territory of being a time-themed villain.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:One-Shot]]
An eccentric monkey baseball player named Carmichael Q. Anthony who became a supervillain after he was given a coat that could make different items for him to throw appear out of thin air.
----
* {{Hammerspace}}: His coat enables him to pull anything out of thin air.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cat-Tankerous]]
A classmate of Gosalyn's named Mortimer L. Marquand who was driven to become a criminal wearing PoweredArmor. In the original version, it was because of an unrequited crush on Gosalyn, but Joe Books omnibus changed it to being a bullied kid protected by Gosalyn and wanting to follow her example.
----
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In the original version, his StartOfDarkness was having a crush on Gosalyn and never understanding that Gosalyn isn't interested.
* PunnyName: His supervillain name is a play on "cat", "tank", and "cantankerous".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Suff-Rage/Mistressterious]]
Real name Constance A. Dention, she was a third candidate in the election for mayor that Darkwing and Launchpad were competing in, but was disqualified after she turned out to be a villain.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Darkwing in The Definitively Dangerous Edition and in Orange Is the New Purple
* CaptainErsatz: Her costume and using illusions to torment Darkwing make her very similar to the Franchise/SpiderMan villain Mysterio. Furthered in her return appearance, where she adopts a new supervillain name similar to Mysterio's.
* ChekhovsGunman: She makes a brief cameo in the background amongst the crowd at the beginning of the fifth issue, long before her proper introduction.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: She tried to use dishonest methods to win the election, but was arrested when her illegal tactics were exposed.
* NoodleIncident: According to Launchpad, Constance A. Dention also broke the law by naming a horse "Mr. Butterbean".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Phantom Blot]]
A supervillain in a black cloak who was encountered by Darkwing at the end of the Boom comic's original run.
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: He and Magica [=DeSpell=] are the main antagonists of "Dangerous Currency".
* TheFaceless: Averted in "Campaign Carnage", where his unmasked self appears pretending to be a campaign manager named Bob and he isn't in his costume until the end of the story. Played straight in "Dangerous Currency".
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: While he seldom appears outside the comics, the Phantom Blot is usually an enemy of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. He lampshades this in "Dangerous Currency" when he initially refuses to help Magica with her plan because he has enemies of his own.
* SequelHook: He first appears in "Campaign Carnage", where the story ends with the revelation that he was the reason One-Shot, Cat-Tankerous, and Suff-Rage got their powers and also formed an alliance with Magica [=DeSpell=]. Even though this originally led to the now non-canon ''ComicBook/DuckTales'' crossover "Dangerous Currency", the Joe Books collection's revision of "Campaign Carnage" still features the Phantom Blot, his involvement in the story, and teaming up with Magica for a new scheme, suggesting that the new series plans to go a different direction for their team-up.

Villains who have only appeared once.

[[folder:[=NegaDuck=] I]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Cummings
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/negatron_negaduck_1.png

When Darkwing was accidentally zapped by Megavolt's tron splitter, he was separated into purely good and purely evil halves. The evil half was unreasonably nasty and enjoyed violence. However, after being galvanized via another zap from the tron splitter, he ended up becoming supercharged into a nearly-unstoppable force. Was remerged with [=PosiDuck=] back into the regular Darkwing.

!!![=NegaDuck=] I pre-galvanization:
* BadassNormal: Much like Darkwing, he doesn't have any powers... yet.
* BigOlEyebrows: The way the viewer could tell him from the other Darkwing was his thick black angry eyebrows.
* JerkAss: Ruined a movie by walking on the other viewers (literally), slurping his soda, and then getting angry that the movie wasn't violent enough and deciding to correct that by jumping into the movie and commandeering a tank.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: Darkwing's evil half.
* MadeOfEvil: He is the personification of all that is evil within Darkwing.
* TriggerHappy: One must wonder where he gets all these guns.

!!![=NegaDuck=] I post-galvanization, plus most of the above:
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: His sclera turn black.
* CastingAShadow: Kinda. His negative energy manifests itself as evil-looking lightning and energy balls.
* DarkIsEvil: He appears as a black-and-white photographic negative of Darkwing.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Not just black-and-white, but also shading-inverted. The only colored parts are his glowing red eyes.
* ForTheEvulz[=/=]EvilerThanThou: In his own words (post-galvanization): "Crime!? Who cares about crime?! I'm into ''wanton, mindless destruction''!"
* HumanoidAbomination: Well, as humanoid as one can be in a world of funny animals anyway. He has unbelievably destructive power.
* OmnicidalManiac: He wants to destroy ''everything''.
* PowerGlows: He was surrounded by a grey-white static aura.
* RealityWarper: He seems to be capable of causing destruction. Not just with energy blasts, but literally causing spontaneous disarray just by existing.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He was monochrome except for dark red pupils in his eyes.
* SuperMode: As with his positive counterpart, galvanization significantly boosted his abilities.
* WalkingWasteland: His presence alone causes streetlights to burst, fences to fall apart, glass to shatter, and pavement to crack. And then there's what happens when he goes after ''specific'' targets...

[[folder:Dark Warrior Duck/Drake Mallard]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Cummings
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darkwarrior_duck15.jpg]]

Drake's dictator-like persona if Gosalyn had disappeared when Quackerjack and Megavolt went into the future in "Time & Punishment". He rules St. Canard with an iron fist, gives the citizens few liberties, and arrests them on the spot for even the most trivial crimes.

* AllCrimesAreEqual: And all punished with death. Or at least a life sentence.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: A parody of the concept. He's Darkwing Duck with a far more extreme attitude towards fighting crime.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: All three will get you a life sentence in prison or worse because he thinks AllCrimesAreEqual.
* BadassNormal: As Darkwing previously was.
* BoringButPractical: He beats Megavolt with a ''fire hose''.
* CombatPragmatist: He apparently wised up after Gos disappeared.
* DespairEventHorizon: The disappearance of Gosalyn.
* TheDreaded: The citizens of St. Canard are more afraid of him than of actual criminals.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Gosalyn tries to restore time to what it was meaning Darkwarrior Duck will not have existed, he becomes livid and tries to dispose of her. However, he ultimately can't bring himself to harm his surrogate daughter (who was the reason for him becoming a KnightTemplar in the first place) and breaks down crying.
* EvilCounterpart: From a BadFuture, showing what Darkwing himself would be like as a KnightTemplar.
* {{Expy}}: Essentially a TakeThat to ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''.
* FutureBadass: As evil as he is, you have to admit he's scarily more competent than the present Darkwing. He just ignored JokerImmunity completely and disposed of every major and minor bad guy in one move.
* GadgeteerGenius: Packing a set that are far more lethal and destructive than the modern Darkwing Duck's.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: His criminal-hunting has made him the worst criminal St. Canard has ever faced.
* {{Jerkass}}: His extremist views lead to him being unrelenting to everyone who breaks his rules, even when they are innocent people.
* KnightOfCerebus: While he has some moments of comedy, he's played seriously like 90% of the episode he's appearing in. He kinda shares this with Quiverwing Quack in the ''War of the Darkwings'' arc in the comics. They both lost Gosalyn and changed their methodology as a result--though they went in opposite directions. Also, has a surprisingly TearJerker moment when he tells QQ to give DW Prime one of his "Last victories before he loses her" after having witnessed something in the time stream as they were brought to this Earth. It turned out he meant [[spoiler:Morgana]], not [[spoiler:Gosalyn]].
* KnightTemplar: He goes ''way'' too far in the name of punishing crimes.
* LargeHam: A far more menacing ham than before, but still hammy.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Gosalyn's sudden disappearance set him off on his path toward evil.
* MechaMooks: He has an army of robots policing St. Canard.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When wearing his mask.
* SecretIdentityIdentity: He appears to have abandoned his civilian identity of Drake Mallard.
* ShouldersOfDoom: His costume gives him huge shoulders.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His costume has spikes on the shoulders.
* SomethingPerson: He is a duck who is a dark warrior.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He may rule St. Canard with an iron fist, but it's only for his now warped views of best intentions.
* WorthyOpponent: When he finds out Quackerjack and Mega Volt are in the future too he gets excited at the idea of finally fighting some actual villains again, and gets all disappointed and pouty when he also learns his attack drones have already captured them.

[[folder:Paddywhack]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilHartman
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paddywhack2.jpg]]

A evil clown-like aberration who feeds on misery. Likes Gosalyn and Quackerjack for their prank playing.

* DemonicPossession: First of Mr. Banana Brain, then [[spoiler:St. Canard Bay, and then Negaduck in the comics]].
* EmotionEater: He grew stronger on other people's embarrassment and misery.
* EvilLaugh: A hollow, echo-y sort of evil laugh.
* EvilMentor: Wanted to become this to Gosalyn, one of the few things we see scare her.
* FangsAreEvil: Had a pair of vampire-like fangs.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:Returned in the ''Crisis on Infinite Darkwings'' arc, having been stuck in St. Canard's water and slowly making his way back to full power.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: While still comedic, RuleOfScary puts him above the usual villains as far as threats posed.
* PerversePuppet: When possessing Mr. Banana Brain.
* PostModernMagic: What's scarier than an ancient clown-like demon? [[spoiler:An ancient clown-like demon wielding the Tron Splitter.]]
* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:The mutual love all the alternate Darkwings had for Gosalyn was used to defeat Paddywhack.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: At first. He was dormant while living in a cursed jack-in-the-box and was awakened by a prank that Goslyn pulled.
* VillainousHarlequin: He wore a black and white harlequin suit complete with a ruff.

[[folder:Phineas Sharpe]]
[[quoteright:318:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharp.jpg]]

->An arch-enemy of Derek Blunt. He came into possession of a list of SHUSH agents and began murdering them to draw Blunt out of retirement for revenge. Darkwing was asked to support Blunt by J. Gander Hoover.

* LaughingMad: He was more restrained than some villains, but he spent a lot of time cackling and he was ''very'' obsessed over gaining revenge on Derek Blunt.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Owned a palatial island estate and dressed in a very fine suit.
* NonActionGuy: Phineas did pull out a ray gun to use on two unarmed opponents, but he was an intellectual villain who preferred to hire muscle and keep his own hands clean. This came back to bite him when his auction for the list of agents didn't go as planned and he had no plans on what to do about an audience full of angry, violent villains.
* ToothyBird: ''Sharp'' toothed bird, no less.
* VillainBall: As a parody of James Bond villains, Phineas has Darkwing and Derek Blunt captured and creates a ridiculously elaborate death trap instead of killing them.

[[folder:The King & Lamont]]
->The King '''Voiced by:''' Patrick Pinney
->Lamont '''Voiced by:''' Creator/CandMilo

The King is a two bit thug, who would have taken over St. Canard in the present day if Darkwing Duck didn't intervene in the past. Lamont is his little brother who picked on Drake when they were kids.

* BaldOfEvil: The King, revealed when his toupee was taken.
* GangOfHats: His gang consists of 1950's greasers.
* InstrumentOfMurder: The King's guitar that fires destructive energy beams. [[ICallItVera He calls it Cecille]].
* KidsAreCruel: Lamont is a bully to young Drake Mallard and has no qualms with helping his older brother in his crimes.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The King and Lamont are heavily inspired by ElvisPresley. It's implied in the show that the King is imitating Presley. The King and his guitar Cecille is also a ShoutOut to bluesman B.B. King and his guitar Lucille.

[[folder:The Bugmaster/Bianca Beakley]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AprilWinchell
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap_00093.png]]

A famous news reporter who wanted higher ratings, so she created her criminal persona "The Bugmaster" to create her own personal crime wave so she could reap the rewards of having the highest rated news show in St. Canard, covering her battles with Darkwing. She learned rather quickly that EvilPaysBetter and decided to become a true criminal.

* AlliterativeName: Her first and last name both begin with B.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Bugs, obviously.
* DarkActionGirl: She does not skimp on fighting and is a villain.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has black hair and she is covered with white feathers as well as being a very sinister villain.
* EvilPaysBetter: She turned to crime because she believed being a villain would give her better publicity.
* HotScoop: She is a news reporter and quite attractive.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She became a villain to feed her ego.
* TheVamp: She acts seductive and tries to manipulate Darkwing into losing.

[[folder:Isis "Icy" Vanderchill]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap_2011_08_08_22h00m09s189.png]]

A vain RichBitch who wanted to freeze her good looks, but accidentally ended up freezing her blood instead. Now she is constantly freezing and wants to cover Saint Canard in stolen gold so that the sun's rays will overheat the city and keep her constantly warm.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: to Darkwing.
--> '''Darkwing:''' Ugh! Why do the weird ones always fall for me?
* {{Acrofatic}}: She's overweight, but very formidable in combat.
* ExtremeOmnivore: In her desperation to get warm, she eats hot charcoal briquettes.
* FatBitch: She is overweight and finds her need to be warm more important than the lives of others.
* GentleGiant: Averted, as it's only a facade to get Darkwing to trust her.
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Darkwing defeats her by freezing her with an ice machine.
* AnIcePerson: Interestingly, despite being capable of creating ice, she ''hates'' the cold.
* LargeAndInCharge: Of her firefly army.
* MeaningfulName: An ice-themed villain named ''Icy'' Vander''chill''.
* MyBloodRunsHot: {{Inverted|Trope}}; her blood runs freezing ''cold''...which is actually a problem for her.
* PowerIncontinence: Because of [[MyBloodRunsHot My Blood Runs]] [[InvertedTrope Cold]], she has only limited control over her AnIcePerson powers at best; her powers seem to be constantly "on" with no way to turn them off.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the Blue Oni to her army of criminal fireflies which act as the Red Oni.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Averted. She's AnIcePerson who ''doesn't'' have immunity to cold, and she hates the cold.
* StoutStrength: She is very strong in spite of her girth.
* VainSorceress: This is what led to her StartOfDarkness.

[[folder:Ordinary Guy]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Rob Palillo
[[quoteright:296:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ordinary_guy.jpg]]

From Comet Guy's planet, Mertz. Has something of a grudge...not only is he the only guy on Mertz with no powers, but the heroes protected him and coddled him so much that he turned evil.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Like all inhabitants of Mertz, he has the distinction of resembling a human being instead of an anthropomorphic animal.
* BadassNormal: the only guy without superpowers.
* CastAsAMask: He's initially voiced by Jim Cummings, until he throws his disguise away.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When he found out his ray gun could work in reverse.
* GadgeteerGenius: To take on the supers.
* PlanetOfHats: The only one who doesn't have the hat.
* PowerCopying: With his ray gun. At first he uses it to drain the superheroes of their powers; later, he finds it also works in reverse.
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: He resembles a normal person and doesn't have much personality aside from being endlessly annoyed by the superheroes' oblivious attempts to "save" him all the time.
* UnwantedAssistance: The reason he turned evil. The rest of the denizens of Mertz kept putting him in danger just to save him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cement Head]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jesse Corti
[[quoteright:236:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cement_head.jpg]]

A mutant made entirely of cement, and also a crime lord. He took up an identity of Swenlin Swine to avoid attention, and tried to frame Rubber Chicken for trying to stop his crimes.
----
* CatchPhrase: He tends to flatter people, always followed by "I ever tell you that?", even on first encounter.
* FreudianExcuse: He turned to crime because his parents disowned him for being born a cement mutant.
* TheJuggernaut: Being made of cement, he is very strong and formidable.
* LatexPerfection: His disguise as Swenlin Swine has him wear a realistic mask of an ordinary pig.
* LivingStatue: Pretty much unavoidable since he is made of cement.
* MadeOfIron: Or cement.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His father Marlon Hambone is an obvious parody of Creator/MarlonBrando.
* SuperStrength: Comes with the territory of being cement.

[[folder:Dr. Fossil]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Barry Gordon
[[quoteright:193:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fossil.png]]

A former paleontologist, Dr. Fossil was responsible for turning him and Stegmutt into dinosaurs. Obsessed with dinosaurs and the lack of respect they received, he plotted to smash a comet into St. Canard ("BAM BOOM!") turning everyone into dinosaurs.
----
* CatchPhrase: "BAM! BOOM!" and "Sorry I have the wrong number"
* DeadpanSnarker: One of the snarkiest villains to appear in the show, despite barely appearing.
* DevolutionDevice: He uses one of these to turn every duck in St. Canard into dinosaurs.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Not in this case, no. For starters, he's not even a true dinosaur to begin with (he's a pterosaur).
* DumbDinos: An aversion - as a pterosaur, he keeps his intelligence.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: He planned to mutate everyone into dinosaurs.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Being a pterosaur, he has evil bat-like wings.
* MadScientist: '''Dr.''' Fossil.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He is called '''Dr.''' Fossil and is not a nice guy at all.

* PteroSoarer: He does not accurately resemble a real pterosaur.

[[folder:Other Minor Villains]]

* CanonForeigner: Wolfduck, who was only in the ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' video game. Unless you count that one time that Morgana's family turned Darkwing into a wolfduck.
** Also, Ice-Head Harry from Darkwing's appearance in the ''Disney/DisneyOnIce'' show "Double Feature... Live!"
** Not to mention Fluffy, who had three storylines (one of them a two-parter) in the ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'' comics.
* TheGhost: Dr. Slug, the never seen archenemy to Darkwing Duck and the #1 most wanted criminal in the world.
* HomemadeInventions: Lilliputt with his ant communication helmet and shrink ray.
* NonIndicativeName: Ice-Head Harry is actually just a generic gangster-type villain and not an ice-themed supervillain; he really only has the "Ice-Head" moniker because he was exclusively featured in a ''Disney/DisneyOnIce'' show.
* PoweredArmor: Fluffy used this in his latter two appearances.
* SealedEvilInATeddyBear: Fluffy from the ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'' comics, who actually ''isn't'' a case of FluffyTheTerrible.

A demon of unfathomable power whose mere presence drives people into insanity and mutates them into horrid monstrosities. Introduced in the 2010 comic series, F.O.W.L. High Command intended to awaken him and use him for world domination. Needless to say, EvilIsNotAToy.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Obviously, a Cthulhu parody.
* EldritchAbomination: Named after the most famous one of all.
* EvilIsNotAToy: F.O.W.L. quickly learned that Duckthulhu could not be controlled as they'd hoped.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''F.O.W.L. Disposition''. The F.O.W.L. High Command intended to awaken him for their own intentions, but he proved to be too powerful to control.
* LovecraftLite: While dark by the story's standards, it's sorta hard to take seriously compared to the original Cthulhu. Especially with that duck bill.
* SkewedPriorities: When Morgana makes him disintegrate in the arc's revision for the Joe Books omnibus collection of the comic, his biggest concern about his hand disappearing is that he won't be able to fist bump.
* TakenForGranite: Starts off as a statue.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chronoduck]]
A villain who only appeared in a story from the Boom comic's annual issue.
----
* TimeTravel: Comes with the territory of being a time-themed villain.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:One-Shot]]
An eccentric monkey baseball player named Carmichael Q. Anthony who became a supervillain after he was given a coat that could make different items for him to throw appear out of thin air.
----
* {{Hammerspace}}: His coat enables him to pull anything out of thin air.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cat-Tankerous]]
A classmate of Gosalyn's named Mortimer L. Marquand who was driven to become a criminal wearing PoweredArmor. In the original version, it was because of an unrequited crush on Gosalyn, but Joe Books omnibus changed it to being a bullied kid protected by Gosalyn and wanting to follow her example.
----
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In the original version, his StartOfDarkness was having a crush on Gosalyn and never understanding that Gosalyn isn't interested.
* PunnyName: His supervillain name is a play on "cat", "tank", and "cantankerous".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Suff-Rage/Mistressterious]]
Real name Constance A. Dention, she was a third candidate in the election for mayor that Darkwing and Launchpad were competing in, but was disqualified after she turned out to be a villain.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Darkwing in The Definitively Dangerous Edition and in Orange Is the New Purple
* CaptainErsatz: Her costume and using illusions to torment Darkwing make her very similar to the Franchise/SpiderMan villain Mysterio. Furthered in her return appearance, where she adopts a new supervillain name similar to Mysterio's.
* ChekhovsGunman: She makes a brief cameo in the background amongst the crowd at the beginning of the fifth issue, long before her proper introduction.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: She tried to use dishonest methods to win the election, but was arrested when her illegal tactics were exposed.
* NoodleIncident: According to Launchpad, Constance A. Dention also broke the law by naming a horse "Mr. Butterbean".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Phantom Blot]]
A supervillain in a black cloak who was encountered by Darkwing at the end of the Boom comic's original run.
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: He and Magica [=DeSpell=] are the main antagonists of "Dangerous Currency".
* TheFaceless: Averted in "Campaign Carnage", where his unmasked self appears pretending to be a campaign manager named Bob and he isn't in his costume until the end of the story. Played straight in "Dangerous Currency".
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: While he seldom appears outside the comics, the Phantom Blot is usually an enemy of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. He lampshades this in "Dangerous Currency" when he initially refuses to help Magica with her plan because he has enemies of his own.
* SequelHook: He first appears in "Campaign Carnage", where the story ends with the revelation that he was the reason One-Shot, Cat-Tankerous, and Suff-Rage got their powers and also formed an alliance with Magica [=DeSpell=]. Even though this originally led to the now non-canon ''ComicBook/DuckTales'' crossover "Dangerous Currency", the Joe Books collection's revision of "Campaign Carnage" still features the Phantom Blot, his involvement in the story, and teaming up with Magica for a new scheme, suggesting that the new series plans to go a different direction for their team-up.

* TheNapoleon: Short on stature, but big in plans.

Jambalaya Jake's near civilized, more intelligent alligator sidekick who doesn't like to be called Dumbo.

* BattleButler: He is basically Jake's manservant and aids him in battle.
* HypercompetentSidekick: He can cook, clean and stand on two legs, that's pretty good for an alligator. He also knows better on when to pay Granny Whammy her money.

* ServileSnarker: Makes a point to show that he does not think highly of Jake's incompetence.

->'''Voiced by:''' Marty Ingels
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dead_duck___darkwing_beelzebub_and_pete.jpg]]

Lucifer. {{Satan}}. Basically, the devil. Darkwing encountered him in the episode ''Dead Duck'' (Where Darking winds up [[spoiler:dreaming he's]] in Hell), and again as the villain of "Hot Spells".

* TheDevilIsALoser: Is portrayed as being rather whiny and easily frustrated in Dead Duck, and gets a rather humiliating defeat in Hot Spells.

Villains who have only appeared once.

[[folder:[=NegaDuck=] I]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Cummings
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/negatron_negaduck_1.png

When Darkwing was accidentally zapped by Megavolt's tron splitter, he was separated into purely good and purely evil halves. The evil half was unreasonably nasty and enjoyed violence. However, after being galvanized via another zap from the tron splitter, he ended up becoming supercharged into a nearly-unstoppable force. Was remerged with [=PosiDuck=] back into the regular Darkwing.

!!![=NegaDuck=] I pre-galvanization:
* BadassNormal: Much like Darkwing, he doesn't have any powers... yet.
* BigOlEyebrows: The way the viewer could tell him from the other Darkwing was his thick black angry eyebrows.
* JerkAss: Ruined a movie by walking on the other viewers (literally), slurping his soda, and then getting angry that the movie wasn't violent enough and deciding to correct that by jumping into the movie and commandeering a tank.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: Darkwing's evil half.
* MadeOfEvil: He is the personification of all that is evil within Darkwing.
* TriggerHappy: One must wonder where he gets all these guns.

!!![=NegaDuck=] I post-galvanization, plus most of the above:
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: His sclera turn black.
* CastingAShadow: Kinda. His negative energy manifests itself as evil-looking lightning and energy balls.
* DarkIsEvil: He appears as a black-and-white photographic negative of Darkwing.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Not just black-and-white, but also shading-inverted. The only colored parts are his glowing red eyes.
* ForTheEvulz[=/=]EvilerThanThou: In his own words (post-galvanization): "Crime!? Who cares about crime?! I'm into ''wanton, mindless destruction''!"
* HumanoidAbomination: Well, as humanoid as one can be in a world of funny animals anyway. He has unbelievably destructive power.
* OmnicidalManiac: He wants to destroy ''everything''.
* PowerGlows: He was surrounded by a grey-white static aura.
* RealityWarper: He seems to be capable of causing destruction. Not just with energy blasts, but literally causing spontaneous disarray just by existing.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He was monochrome except for dark red pupils in his eyes.
* SuperMode: As with his positive counterpart, galvanization significantly boosted his abilities.
* WalkingWasteland: His presence alone causes streetlights to burst, fences to fall apart, glass to shatter, and pavement to crack. And then there's what happens when he goes after ''specific'' targets...

[[folder:Dark Warrior Duck/Drake Mallard]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Cummings
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darkwarrior_duck15.jpg]]

Drake's dictator-like persona if Gosalyn had disappeared when Quackerjack and Megavolt went into the future in "Time & Punishment". He rules St. Canard with an iron fist, gives the citizens few liberties, and arrests them on the spot for even the most trivial crimes.

* AllCrimesAreEqual: And all punished with death. Or at least a life sentence.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: A parody of the concept. He's Darkwing Duck with a far more extreme attitude towards fighting crime.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: All three will get you a life sentence in prison or worse because he thinks AllCrimesAreEqual.
* BadassNormal: As Darkwing previously was.
* BoringButPractical: He beats Megavolt with a ''fire hose''.
* CombatPragmatist: He apparently wised up after Gos disappeared.
* DespairEventHorizon: The disappearance of Gosalyn.
* TheDreaded: The citizens of St. Canard are more afraid of him than of actual criminals.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Gosalyn tries to restore time to what it was meaning Darkwarrior Duck will not have existed, he becomes livid and tries to dispose of her. However, he ultimately can't bring himself to harm his surrogate daughter (who was the reason for him becoming a KnightTemplar in the first place) and breaks down crying.
* EvilCounterpart: From a BadFuture, showing what Darkwing himself would be like as a KnightTemplar.
* {{Expy}}: Essentially a TakeThat to ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''.
* FutureBadass: As evil as he is, you have to admit he's scarily more competent than the present Darkwing. He just ignored JokerImmunity completely and disposed of every major and minor bad guy in one move.
* GadgeteerGenius: Packing a set that are far more lethal and destructive than the modern Darkwing Duck's.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: His criminal-hunting has made him the worst criminal St. Canard has ever faced.
* {{Jerkass}}: His extremist views lead to him being unrelenting to everyone who breaks his rules, even when they are innocent people.
* KnightOfCerebus: While he has some moments of comedy, he's played seriously like 90% of the episode he's appearing in. He kinda shares this with Quiverwing Quack in the ''War of the Darkwings'' arc in the comics. They both lost Gosalyn and changed their methodology as a result--though they went in opposite directions. Also, has a surprisingly TearJerker moment when he tells QQ to give DW Prime one of his "Last victories before he loses her" after having witnessed something in the time stream as they were brought to this Earth. It turned out he meant [[spoiler:Morgana]], not [[spoiler:Gosalyn]].
* KnightTemplar: He goes ''way'' too far in the name of punishing crimes.
* LargeHam: A far more menacing ham than before, but still hammy.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Gosalyn's sudden disappearance set him off on his path toward evil.
* MechaMooks: He has an army of robots policing St. Canard.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When wearing his mask.
* SecretIdentityIdentity: He appears to have abandoned his civilian identity of Drake Mallard.
* ShouldersOfDoom: His costume gives him huge shoulders.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His costume has spikes on the shoulders.
* SomethingPerson: He is a duck who is a dark warrior.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He may rule St. Canard with an iron fist, but it's only for his now warped views of best intentions.
* WorthyOpponent: When he finds out Quackerjack and Mega Volt are in the future too he gets excited at the idea of finally fighting some actual villains again, and gets all disappointed and pouty when he also learns his attack drones have already captured them.

[[folder:Paddywhack]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilHartman
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paddywhack2.jpg]]

A evil clown-like aberration who feeds on misery. Likes Gosalyn and Quackerjack for their prank playing.

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:Returned in the ''Crisis on Infinite Darkwings'' arc, having been stuck in St. Canard's water and slowly making his way back to full power.]]

* PerversePuppet: When possessing Mr. Banana Brain.
* PostModernMagic: What's scarier than an ancient clown-like demon? [[spoiler:An ancient clown-like demon wielding the Tron Splitter.]]
* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:The mutual love all the alternate Darkwings had for Gosalyn was used to defeat Paddywhack.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: At first. He was dormant while living in a cursed jack-in-the-box and was awakened by a prank that Goslyn pulled.
* VillainousHarlequin: He wore a black and white harlequin suit complete with a ruff.

[[folder:Phineas Sharpe]]
[[quoteright:318:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharp.jpg]]

->An arch-enemy of Derek Blunt. He came into possession of a list of SHUSH agents and began murdering them to draw Blunt out of retirement for revenge. Darkwing was asked to support Blunt by J. Gander Hoover.

* LaughingMad: He was more restrained than some villains, but he spent a lot of time cackling and he was ''very'' obsessed over gaining revenge on Derek Blunt.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Owned a palatial island estate and dressed in a very fine suit.
* NonActionGuy: Phineas did pull out a ray gun to use on two unarmed opponents, but he was an intellectual villain who preferred to hire muscle and keep his own hands clean. This came back to bite him when his auction for the list of agents didn't go as planned and he had no plans on what to do about an audience full of angry, violent villains.
* ToothyBird: ''Sharp'' toothed bird, no less.
* VillainBall: As a parody of James Bond villains, Phineas has Darkwing and Derek Blunt captured and creates a ridiculously elaborate death trap instead of killing them.

[[folder:The King & Lamont]]

A famous news reporter who wanted higher ratings, so she created her criminal persona "The Bugmaster" to create her own personal crime wave so she could reap the rewards of having the highest rated news show in St. Canard, covering her battles with Darkwing.

* ExtremeOmnivore: In her desperation to get warm, she eats hot charcoal briquettes.
* FatBitch: She is overweight and finds her need to be warm more important than the lives of others.

[[folder:Cement Head]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jesse Corti
[[quoteright:236:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cement_head.jpg]]

A mutant made entirely of cement, and also a crime lord. He took up an identity of Swenlin Swine to avoid attention, and tried to frame Rubber Chicken for trying to stop his crimes.

* CatchPhrase: He tends to flatter people, always followed by "I ever tell you that?", even on first encounter.
* FreudianExcuse: He turned to crime because his parents disowned him for being born a cement mutant.

[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/378064028603f632a45fc4e5c34d89b2.jpg]]

-> A foxy F.O.W.L. agent who turns out to be a double agent working for S.H.U.S.H.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Her name and occupation are a nod to Emma Peel from the British television show ''Series/TheAvengers''.
* MamaBear: Femme Appeal, seeing the captured Gosalyn and Honker, decides that the combination of Duckcthulhu rising and children being in danger is sufficient reason for her to blow her cover as TheMole to FOWL.
* MsFanservice: She wears a SpyCatsuit.
* ReverseMole: She initially appears to be a F.O.W.L. agent, [[spoiler:but the end of the "F.O.W.L. Disposition" arc reveals that she is really on S.H.U.S.H.'s side.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Duckthulhu]]

A demon of unfathomable power whose mere presence drives people into insanity and mutates them into horrid monstrosities. Introduced in the 2010 comic series, F.O.W.L. High Command intended to awaken him and use him for world domination. Needless to say, EvilIsNotAToy.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Obviously, a Cthulhu parody.
* EldritchAbomination: Named after the most famous one of all.
* EvilIsNotAToy: F.O.W.L. quickly learned that Duckthulhu could not be controlled as they'd hoped.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''F.O.W.L. Disposition''. The F.O.W.L. High Command intended to awaken him for their own intentions, but he proved to be too powerful to control.
* LovecraftLite: While dark by the story's standards, it's sorta hard to take seriously compared to the original Cthulhu. Especially with that duck bill.
* SkewedPriorities: When Morgana makes him disintegrate in the arc's revision for the Joe Books omnibus collection of the comic, his biggest concern about his hand disappearing is that he won't be able to fist bump.
* TakenForGranite: Starts off as a statue.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chronoduck]]
A villain who only appeared in a story from the Boom comic's annual issue.
----
* TimeTravel: Comes with the territory of being a time-themed villain.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:One-Shot]]
An eccentric monkey baseball player named Carmichael Q. Anthony who became a supervillain after he was given a coat that could make different items for him to throw appear out of thin air.
----
* {{Hammerspace}}: His coat enables him to pull anything out of thin air.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cat-Tankerous]]
A classmate of Gosalyn's named Mortimer L. Marquand who was driven to become a criminal wearing PoweredArmor. In the original version, it was because of an unrequited crush on Gosalyn, but Joe Books omnibus changed it to being a bullied kid protected by Gosalyn and wanting to follow her example.
----
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In the original version, his StartOfDarkness was having a crush on Gosalyn and never understanding that Gosalyn isn't interested.
* PunnyName: His supervillain name is a play on "cat", "tank", and "cantankerous".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Suff-Rage/Mistressterious]]
Real name Constance A. Dention, she was a third candidate in the election for mayor that Darkwing and Launchpad were competing in, but was disqualified after she turned out to be a villain.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Darkwing in The Definitively Dangerous Edition and in Orange Is the New Purple
* CaptainErsatz: Her costume and using illusions to torment Darkwing make her very similar to the Franchise/SpiderMan villain Mysterio. Furthered in her return appearance, where she adopts a new supervillain name similar to Mysterio's.
* ChekhovsGunman: She makes a brief cameo in the background amongst the crowd at the beginning of the fifth issue, long before her proper introduction.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: She tried to use dishonest methods to win the election, but was arrested when her illegal tactics were exposed.
* NoodleIncident: According to Launchpad, Constance A. Dention also broke the law by naming a horse "Mr. Butterbean".

A supervillain in a black cloak who was encountered by Darkwing at the end of the Boom comic's original run.
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: He and Magica [=DeSpell=] are the main antagonists of "Dangerous Currency".
* TheFaceless: Averted in "Campaign Carnage", where his unmasked self appears pretending to be a campaign manager named Bob and he isn't in his costume until the end of the story. Played straight in "Dangerous Currency".
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: While he seldom appears outside the comics, the Phantom Blot is usually an enemy of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. He lampshades this in "Dangerous Currency" when he initially refuses to help Magica with her plan because he has enemies of his own.
* SequelHook: He first appears in "Campaign Carnage", where the story ends with the revelation that he was the reason One-Shot, Cat-Tankerous, and Suff-Rage got their powers and also formed an alliance with Magica [=DeSpell=]. Even though this originally led to the now non-canon ''ComicBook/DuckTales'' crossover "Dangerous Currency", the Joe Books collection's revision of "Campaign Carnage" still features the Phantom Blot, his involvement in the story, and teaming up with Magica for a new scheme, suggesting that the new series plans to go a different direction for their team-up.

!!Taurus Bulba's Gang

The primary antagonists of the two-part pilot movie, "Darkly Dawns the Duck". Most of them don't return afterwards.

[[folder:Taurus Bulba]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TimCurry
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taurus_bulba.jpg]]

Probably Darkwing's most dangerous villain. A crime lord who had Gosalyn's paternal grandfather killed for his invention, the Ramrod, an anti-gravity gun he used to steal from the citizens of St. Canard. He was killed off when he was caught in the explosion of the Ramrod caused by Darkwing Duck, but he returned when F.O.W.L. salvaged his body and turned him into a cyborg.

* AchillesHeel: After he's resurrected as a cyborg, making him extremely angry can cause his parts to overheat and shut down for a little while. Being the most collected and capable villain in the show, though, that's easier said than done.
* ArmCannon: After his resurrection, his left hand is replaced with an energy cannon.
* BadassNormal: Doesn't have any powers, but he's a very big man.
* TheChessmaster: He is able to come up with complex schemes to meet his goals.
* DeadpanSnarker: One particular instant has him saying "I know, I heard" in response to Darkwing repeating his MadLibsCatchphrase.
* DiabolicalMastermind: He is very deceptive and cunning, even concocting his schemes while still in jail.
* TheDreaded: Is the only villain in the cartoon's run that Darkwing is actually afraid of. And when he appears before Gosalyn, she's stunned from fear.
* ElectronicEyes: After F.O.W.L. rebuilt him, one of his eye is replaced with a cybernetic one.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Once becoming a cyborg.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Being voiced by Tim Curry, so he naturally brings the same air of sophistication, even though he's heartless and has no respect for anyone but himself.
* GeniusBruiser: The smartest villain of the series.
* HollywoodCyborg: After he's brought back to life.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Seems to be the case as of ''ComicBook/DarkwingDuck'' #4, in which he uploads his mind to a machine that is "shut down" in the end.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: While he can be LaughablyEvil, expect any scenes with him in them to be almost completely serious.
--> "I underestimated you ''once'', Darkwing Duck. ''This'' time, you simply '''''die'''''."
* LuxuryPrisonSuite: In the pilot, hidden behind his usual cell is his evil lair. He later ''lifts off'' the prison into the air.
* MeaningfulName: Both his first and last names relate to him being a bull.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: He managed to turn his prison cell into a secret lair that he can transform back into a prison cell when somebody is looking, and he turned the prison into a flying ship that looks like his head.
* MinionMaracas: Loves doing this to Hammerhead.
* PunnyName: It's a reference to the novella ''Taras Bulba''.
* TopHeavyGuy: One of the biggest in the series. He has a ''massive'' upper body with huge horns, a thick neck, very, very broad shoulders and a beefy (no pun intended) torso... which then tapers down into a tiny waist with little legs and feet so small they barely look like limbs. Even when he got turned into a cyborg, this build was retained (he even arguably became ''more'' top-heavy, due to the addition of all of the clunky metal bits and the guns on his horns).
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The most competent, intimidating and ambitious villain in the show. Absolutely nothing about him is played for laughs.
* WeCanRebuildHim: By F.O.W.L., who resurrect him as a cyborg. He immediately turns on them afterwards.
* WeWillMeetAgain: "I will be back!" Too bad he never was... [[spoiler:At least not until the 2010 comic series.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He's perfectly willing to have Gosalyn dropped down a hundred foot skyscraper to get what he wants out of Darkwing. This is NOT PlayedForLaughs.

When Darkwing was accidentally zapped by Megavolt's tron splitter, he was separated into purely good and purely evil halves. The evil half was unreasonably nasty and enjoyed violence. However, after being galvanized via another zap from the tron splitter, he ended up becoming supercharged into a nearly-unstoppable force. Was remerged with [=PosiDuck=] back into the regular Darkwing.

!!![=NegaDuck=] I pre-galvanization:
* BadassNormal: Much like Darkwing, he doesn't have any powers... yet.
* BigOlEyebrows: The way the viewer could tell him from the other Darkwing was his thick black angry eyebrows.
* JerkAss: Ruined a movie by walking on the other viewers (literally), slurping his soda, and then getting angry that the movie wasn't violent enough and deciding to correct that by jumping into the movie and commandeering a tank.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: Darkwing's evil half.
* MadeOfEvil: He is the personification of all that is evil within Darkwing.
* TriggerHappy: One must wonder where he gets all these guns.

!!![=NegaDuck=] I post-galvanization, plus most of the above:
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: His sclera turn black.
* CastingAShadow: Kinda. His negative energy manifests itself as evil-looking lightning and energy balls.
* DarkIsEvil: He appears as a black-and-white photographic negative of Darkwing.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Not just black-and-white, but also shading-inverted. The only colored parts are his glowing red eyes.
* ForTheEvulz[=/=]EvilerThanThou: In his own words (post-galvanization): "Crime!? Who cares about crime?! I'm into ''wanton, mindless destruction''!"
* HumanoidAbomination: Well, as humanoid as one can be in a world of funny animals anyway. He has unbelievably destructive power.
* OmnicidalManiac: He wants to destroy ''everything''.
* PowerGlows: He was surrounded by a grey-white static aura.
* RealityWarper: He seems to be capable of causing destruction. Not just with energy blasts, but literally causing spontaneous disarray just by existing.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He was monochrome except for dark red pupils in his eyes.
* SuperMode: As with his positive counterpart, galvanization significantly boosted his abilities.
* WalkingWasteland: His presence alone causes streetlights to burst, fences to fall apart, glass to shatter, and pavement to crack. And then there's what happens when he goes after ''specific'' targets...

[[folder:Dark Warrior Duck/Drake Mallard]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Cummings
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darkwarrior_duck15.jpg]]

Drake's dictator-like persona if Gosalyn had disappeared when Quackerjack and Megavolt went into the future in "Time & Punishment". He rules St. Canard with an iron fist, gives the citizens few liberties, and arrests them on the spot for even the most trivial crimes.

* AllCrimesAreEqual: And all punished with death. Or at least a life sentence.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: A parody of the concept. He's Darkwing Duck with a far more extreme attitude towards fighting crime.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: All three will get you a life sentence in prison or worse because he thinks AllCrimesAreEqual.
* BadassNormal: As Darkwing previously was.
* BoringButPractical: He beats Megavolt with a ''fire hose''.
* CombatPragmatist: He apparently wised up after Gos disappeared.
* DespairEventHorizon: The disappearance of Gosalyn.
* TheDreaded: The citizens of St. Canard are more afraid of him than of actual criminals.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Gosalyn tries to restore time to what it was meaning Darkwarrior Duck will not have existed, he becomes livid and tries to dispose of her. However, he ultimately can't bring himself to harm his surrogate daughter (who was the reason for him becoming a KnightTemplar in the first place) and breaks down crying.
* EvilCounterpart: From a BadFuture, showing what Darkwing himself would be like as a KnightTemplar.
* {{Expy}}: Essentially a TakeThat to ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''.
* FutureBadass: As evil as he is, you have to admit he's scarily more competent than the present Darkwing. He just ignored JokerImmunity completely and disposed of every major and minor bad guy in one move.
* GadgeteerGenius: Packing a set that are far more lethal and destructive than the modern Darkwing Duck's.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: His criminal-hunting has made him the worst criminal St. Canard has ever faced.
* {{Jerkass}}: His extremist views lead to him being unrelenting to everyone who breaks his rules, even when they are innocent people.
* KnightOfCerebus: While he has some moments of comedy, he's played seriously like 90% of the episode he's appearing in. He kinda shares this with Quiverwing Quack in the ''War of the Darkwings'' arc in the comics. They both lost Gosalyn and changed their methodology as a result--though they went in opposite directions. Also, has a surprisingly TearJerker moment when he tells QQ to give DW Prime one of his "Last victories before he loses her" after having witnessed something in the time stream as they were brought to this Earth. It turned out he meant [[spoiler:Morgana]], not [[spoiler:Gosalyn]].
* KnightTemplar: He goes ''way'' too far in the name of punishing crimes.
* LargeHam: A far more menacing ham than before, but still hammy.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Gosalyn's sudden disappearance set him off on his path toward evil.
* MechaMooks: He has an army of robots policing St. Canard.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When wearing his mask.
* SecretIdentityIdentity: He appears to have abandoned his civilian identity of Drake Mallard.
* ShouldersOfDoom: His costume gives him huge shoulders.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His costume has spikes on the shoulders.
* SomethingPerson: He is a duck who is a dark warrior.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He may rule St. Canard with an iron fist, but it's only for his now warped views of best intentions.
* WorthyOpponent: When he finds out Quackerjack and Mega Volt are in the future too he gets excited at the idea of finally fighting some actual villains again, and gets all disappointed and pouty when he also learns his attack drones have already captured them.

----
* LaughingMad: He was more restrained than some villains, but he spent a lot of time cackling and he was ''very'' obsessed over gaining revenge on Derek Blunt.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Owned a palatial island estate and dressed in a very fine suit.
* NonActionGuy: Phineas did pull out a ray gun to use on two unarmed opponents, but he was an intellectual villain who preferred to hire muscle and keep his own hands clean. This came back to bite him when his auction for the list of agents didn't go as planned and he had no plans on what to do about an audience full of angry, violent villains.
* ToothyBird: ''Sharp'' toothed bird, no less.
* VillainBall: As a parody of James Bond villains, Phineas has Darkwing and Derek Blunt captured and creates a ridiculously elaborate death trap instead of killing them.

----
* CaptainErsatz: Obviously, a Cthulhu parody.
* EldritchAbomination: Named after the most famous one of all.
* EvilIsNotAToy: F.O.W.L. quickly learned that Duckthulhu could not be controlled as they'd hoped.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: While he seldom appears outside the comics, the Phantom Blot is usually an enemy of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. He lampshades this in "Dangerous Currency" when he initially refuses to help Magica with her plan because he has enemies of his own.
* SequelHook: He first appears in "Campaign Carnage", where the story ends with the revelation that he was the reason One-Shot, Cat-Tankerous, and Suff-Rage got their powers and also formed an alliance with Magica [=DeSpell=]. Even though this originally led to the now non-canon ''ComicBook/DuckTales'' crossover "Dangerous Currency", the Joe Books collection's revision of "Campaign Carnage" still features the Phantom Blot, his involvement in the story, and teaming up with Magica for a new scheme, suggesting that the new series plans to go a different direction for their team-up.

!!Taurus Bulba's Gang

The primary antagonists of the two-part pilot movie, "Darkly Dawns the Duck". Most of them don't return afterwards.

[[folder:Taurus Bulba]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TimCurry
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taurus_bulba.jpg]]

Probably Darkwing's most dangerous villain. A crime lord who had Gosalyn's paternal grandfather killed for his invention, the Ramrod, an anti-gravity gun he used to steal from the citizens of St. Canard. He was killed off when he was caught in the explosion of the Ramrod caused by Darkwing Duck, but he returned when F.O.W.L. salvaged his body and turned him into a cyborg.

* AchillesHeel: After he's resurrected as a cyborg, making him extremely angry can cause his parts to overheat and shut down for a little while. Being the most collected and capable villain in the show, though, that's easier said than done.
* ArmCannon: After his resurrection, his left hand is replaced with an energy cannon.
* BadassNormal: Doesn't have any powers, but he's a very big man.
* TheChessmaster: He is able to come up with complex schemes to meet his goals.
* DeadpanSnarker: One particular instant has him saying "I know, I heard" in response to Darkwing repeating his MadLibsCatchphrase.
* DiabolicalMastermind: He is very deceptive and cunning, even concocting his schemes while still in jail.
* TheDreaded: Is the only villain in the cartoon's run that Darkwing is actually afraid of. And when he appears before Gosalyn, she's stunned from fear.
* ElectronicEyes: After F.O.W.L. rebuilt him, one of his eye is replaced with a cybernetic one.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Once becoming a cyborg.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Being voiced by Tim Curry, so he naturally brings the same air of sophistication, even though he's heartless and has no respect for anyone but himself.
* GeniusBruiser: The smartest villain of the series.
* HollywoodCyborg: After he's brought back to life.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Seems to be the case as of ''ComicBook/DarkwingDuck'' #4, in which he uploads his mind to a machine that is "shut down" in the end.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: While he can be LaughablyEvil, expect any scenes with him in them to be almost completely serious.
--> "I underestimated you ''once'', Darkwing Duck. ''This'' time, you simply '''''die'''''."
* LuxuryPrisonSuite: In the pilot, hidden behind his usual cell is his evil lair. He later ''lifts off'' the prison into the air.
* MeaningfulName: Both his first and last names relate to him being a bull.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: He managed to turn his prison cell into a secret lair that he can transform back into a prison cell when somebody is looking, and he turned the prison into a flying ship that looks like his head.
* MinionMaracas: Loves doing this to Hammerhead.
* PunnyName: It's a reference to the novella ''Taras Bulba''.
* TopHeavyGuy: One of the biggest in the series. He has a ''massive'' upper body with huge horns, a thick neck, very, very broad shoulders and a beefy (no pun intended) torso... which then tapers down into a tiny waist with little legs and feet so small they barely look like limbs. Even when he got turned into a cyborg, this build was retained (he even arguably became ''more'' top-heavy, due to the addition of all of the clunky metal bits and the guns on his horns).
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The most competent, intimidating and ambitious villain in the show. Absolutely nothing about him is played for laughs.
* WeCanRebuildHim: By F.O.W.L., who resurrect him as a cyborg. He immediately turns on them afterwards.
* WeWillMeetAgain: "I will be back!" Too bad he never was... [[spoiler:At least not until the 2010 comic series.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He's perfectly willing to have Gosalyn dropped down a hundred foot skyscraper to get what he wants out of Darkwing. This is NOT PlayedForLaughs.
