History Characters / DisneyMouseAndDuckComics

* TheArtifact: Added to the comics back when they had guest comics based on whatever Disney movie was coming out at the time. And like the various forest dwellers from Film/SongOfTheSouth, her popularity has given her steady appearances long after WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone left theaters.

* DistressedDamsel: In some comic stories, in that she fulfills much the same role for Br'er Rabbit as WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse does for WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse... of course, at least the bad guys who captured Minnie weren't usually intent on ''eating'' her.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: He originally appeared as Gyro Gearloose's rival in the Duck comics, but later crossed into Mickey Mouse and Super Goof stories; there he served as the source of equipment that villains like Pete would use. Even when he appears in modern Duck stories it's more likely he will most likely oppose either the Duck Avenger (Donald's superhero alter ego) or Scrooge [=McDuck=] instead of Gyro.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: He originally appeared as Gyro Gearloose's rival in the Duck comics, but later crossed into Mickey Mouse and Super Goof stories; there he served as the source of equipment that villains like Pete would use.

* BreakoutCharacter: There aren't many characters of the Western Publishing era that have had staying power and of those Emil Eagle is the most prominent by far. The explanation can probably be found in the need for an evil inventor to improve the story potential.

* TriangRelations: Type 3 and 7. Chip and Dale always fall for the same girl and get competitive about her. These girls include Cerise from the 1957 comic "Noisy Neighbors", Clarice from the 1952 short ''Two Chips and a Miss'', and Gadget from ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''.

* DistressedDamsel: In some comic stories, in that she fulfills much the same role for Br'er Rabbit as WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse does for MickeyMouse... of course, at least the bad guys who captured Minnie weren't usually intent on ''eating'' her.

* GrumpyBear: Chip, who's often exasperated by Dale's shenanigans -- though on occasion he will let his mask slip and reveal that he and Dale are similar after all.

* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Meringue clearly does not seek world domination for flowers and rainbows.

* OddFriendship: With Goofy. Despite him repeatedly pushing her BerserkButton by insisting that witches don't exist (and has his own InsantTrollLogic replanations for all the impossible magics she pulls off), she does have a soft spot for him and is usually kinder to him than she is to most other adults. If he'd only ''believe'' her about being a witch...!

* CardCarryingVillain: Calls himself "[[TheMagnificent The Malevolent]]" for starters, and bombastically boasts about his malevolence and cruelty.

** Trying to brainwash the Phantom Blot was too much even for him, as he was able to fight off his control to backstab him at the last moment.

* MindManipulation: Meringue can compel or brainwash people as easily as he breathes. Unless his target as a huge willpower that is...

* GoodWitchVersusBadWitch: A gender-flipped variation. The Druid Darfeld fought tooth and nails to foil his plot. While he was absolutely no match for him, he was a skilled enough mage to send the orbs at the corners of the World, attract them to Mickey and Donald, and bewitch them so that they could warn people in the future.

** Trying to brainwash the Phantom Blot was too much even for him, as he was able to fight off his influence to backstab him at the last moment.

* KnightOfCerebus: One of the most powerful and dangerous baddies ever faced by the Duck and Mouse crews, who dominated the Rogue Gallery, very nearly got ultimate power and sought world domination. QAFittingly, [[TooPowerfulToLive this was his only appearance.]]

* AgeLift: In an interesting example, the time he was in stasis was changed from 1000 to 300 in the american version. This was most likely done because Europe 1000 years ago would be during the DarkAges, while Europeans didn't even know America existed 1000 years ago, and Mickey and Donald would be very unlikely to have ancestors living there back then[[note]]It's not impossible that Mickey could have native american ancestors, but Donald's family were settlers on his father's side and scottish immigrants on his mother's[[/note]].

A highly powerful EvilSorcerer from 1000 years ago (300 years in the American version) who has created two Orbs of Power to conquer the world with. In the original, he waited for the turn of the millennium, when elemental forces are at their peak, when in the American version he just needs the New Year's Eve. Last time, Mickey's and Donald's ancestors helped the Druid Darfeld to foil him and cast his orbs in a volcano and a glacier, but they each found it in a separate adventure, until Darfeld's magic reveals what is coming up at them...

* ArchEnemy: The druid Darfeld, followed closely by Michael/Mickey and Donaldo/Donald.

** Poor Darfeld did repeatedly got his ass handed to him before Mickey's and Donald's ancestors stumbled into the scenery.

* FluffyTheTerrible: An Uber wizard and a serious threat, named after a pastry.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He is smart, but both heroes and villains were able to use his own tricks against him by catching him off-guard.

* HumanPopsicle: Meringue locked himself away for the millennium until he could make another attempt. Or for the centuries it'd take for his orbs to resurface (as per the spell of Darfeld), in the American translation.
* KnightOfCerebus: One of the most powerful and dangerous baddies ever faced by the Duck and Mouse crews, who dominated the Rogue Gallery, very nearly got ultimate power and sought world domination. Fittingly, [[TooPowerfulToLive this was his only appearance.]]

* UncertainDoom: He disappears as his unstable scepter breaks apart. Dead? Gone? Who knows.

* ClassicVillain: Meringue has the Greed and Lust (for power and servants) aspects down pat, as expected from a wannabe world ruler. With side dish of Pride and Wrath.

** Poor Darfeld did not stand a chance against him before Mickey's and Donald's ancestors stumbled into the scenery.

* TheArchmage: The most powerful mage in the Duck and Mouse bar none, and one of the mightiest in the overall Disney Multiverse.
* BadassCape: Hard to come with a wieard worth his salt without one, and this one does not disappoint.

* KnightOfCerebus: One of the most powerful and dangerous baddies ever faced by the Duck and Mouse rooster, who dominated the Rogue Gallery, very nearly got ultimate power and sought world domination. Fittingly, [[TooPowerfulToLive this was his only appearance.]]

* ClassicVillain: Meringue has the Greed and Lust (for power and servants) aspects down pat, as expected from a wannabe world ruler. With side dish of Pride and Wrath.

A highly powerful EvilSorcerer from 1000 years ago (300 years in the American version) who has created two orbs of power to conquer the world with. In the original, he waited for the turn of the millennium, when elemental forces are at their peak, when in the American version he just needs the New Year's Eve.

* BigBad: of the Millennium Orbs/Orbs Saga.
* CardCarryingVillain: Calls himself "[[TheMagnificent The Malevolent]]" for starters, and bombastically boasts about his evil ways.
* CurbStompBattle: Basically any fight he gets in ends up as this in this favour. Even the heroes are most preoccupied with keeping the Orbs away from him until after the stroke of midnight than dealing with him.

* EvilIsHammy: Like you would not believe.
* EvilSorcerer: A very basic one, but formidable.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Meringue rather likes the era in which he emerges. Having the world mapped out makes the prospect of conquest much grander and watches are useful little things when you've got a specific moment to wait for to start said conquest.
* HandBlast: Meringue's most common mean of offence.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He is smart, but both heroes and villains were able to take him by surprise.

** Trying to brainwash the Phantom Blot was too much even for him, as the baddie could fight off his influence.

* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: Magica De Spell, herself a powerful witch, the bumbling but usually dangerous Beagle Boys, and the Phantom Blot DiabolicalMastermind extraordinaire got quickly curb-stomped and brainwashed for their troubles, just to show that Meringue means business.
* MindManipulation: Can compel or brainwash people as easily as he breathes. Unless his target as a huge willpower that is...

* WeatherManipulation: He has this power, with a preference for thunderstorm fitting for baddies.
* WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve: Played with. Meringue needs this hour on New Year's Eve to create his scepter, but it's time zone-sensitive. When he misses his chance due to Donald, Mickey, Magica, and the Blot, he grabs the orbs and teleports himself to the last place on Earth that is still in the old year to wait for midnight there. This'd be Howzit Atoll in Western Samoa.
[[/folder]]

A powerful magician from 1000 years ago (300 years in the American version) who has created two orbs of power to conquer the world with.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He gets pulled into a magical vortex when Mickey and Donald unmake the scepter. On the chance this didn't kill him, the two later write out instructions for their descendents on how to deal with Meringue and the orbs.
* HumanPopsicle: Meringue locked himself away for the centuries it'd take for his orbs to resurface (as per the spell of Darfeld).

* MineralMacGuffin: The two orbs, said to be made of metal but referred to as crystal. They are supposed to fuse together into a [[ArtifactOfDoom Scepter of Power]] when the old year makes way for the new year.
* PetTheDog: He casts a spell on Magica, the Beagle Boys, and the Phantom Blot to serve him in the absence of anything better. Still, when he's got his orbs and the Beagle Boys ask if they can have a Christmas wish too, he grants it, leading to the six villains sharing a festive dinner.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Either 300 or 1000 years old while looking between 50-60. He might even be older because he might as well have been ancient back in the day already.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: His full designation, although rarely used, is "Evil Emil Eagle". "Evil Emil" is slightly more common.
* AlliterativeName: '''E'''mil '''E'''agle.

* BerserkButton: Don't tell her you don't believe in witches.

* OddFriendship: With Goofy.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Dale.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Though in the comics they seem to be brothers; at least one comic story directly names them as such and even includes a cameo appearance by their mother.
* OddCouple: Dale's the WackyGuy and Chip the StraightMan.

* TookALevelInKindness: Compared to their classic cartoon counterparts, these chipmunks are a lot more kind and considerate, their pranks seldom reaching harmful levels. (Of course, their ''[[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers Rescue Rangers]]'' counterparts would be even nicer.)

* GrumpyBear: Chip, who's often exasperated by Dale's shenanigans -- though on occasion he will let his mask slip and reveal that he and Dale are NotSoDifferent after all.

Two playful chipmunks who live in an oak tree at the edge of the forest and spend their time in equal parts gathering nuts, avoiding predators and making mischief, their favorite prank target being DonaldDuck (making them more tied to the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse).

* AnimalTalk: DependingOnTheWriter whether they're speaking this or can be understood by humanoid animals like DonaldDuck.

* AgeLift: In an interesting example, the time he was in stasis was changed from 1000 to 300 in the american version. This was most likely done because Europe 1000 years ago would be during the DarkAges, while Europeans didn't even know America existed 1000 years ago, and Mickey and Donald would be very unlikely to have ancestors living there back then[[note]]Especially Donald, since his family were settlers on his father's side and scottish immigrants on his mother's[[/note]].

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Sometimes with Br'er Bear, occasionally with Zeke Wolf. Not that he has much respect for either of them; he considers Zeke a miserable failure and Br'er Bear a blundering idiot.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Originally, he had a lankier figure with sharper features and bigger fangs, his clothes were blue and his face and feet were flesh colored instead of white. Also, he was comically weak (he couldn't even blow a candle, much for his father's frustration) and on top of that he was a total pushover who sheeply accepted his father's orders and because of that, used to spend half of his panel time looking absolutely miserable. Finally, he had no friends except for the forest's animals.
