** Like Superman, her powers have a semi-logical origin (Xerba's sun) but what she can do with it is functionally just Comic Book Logic. Fly? Sure, that takes energy. Shapeshift? Sure, she's not human so why not. Laser beams? Yeah, that's energy, makes sense.

** Considering the origin story seen in ''Ur-Evron'', it seems that the current Evronians are the result of the merging of the Alpha Spore (genderless) and Ur Evron, male, implying that they're technically genderless but get their masculine appearences from Ur Evron.

* In his first appearance Two stated he was able to monitor everything in the Ducklair Tower; in fact it's how he learned Paperinik was suspecting One and [[MomentOfAwesome manipulated him in shutting him down]]. Then how could he not know about Ducklair's return?

** This one is self-evident; if Paperinik did that, One likely trusted his judgment. And even if he bothered to object, [[HellSingAbridged what's he gonna do? Get that guy who can stop her? What was his name? Michael McDoesn'tExist?]]

** It depends on the series we're talking about. In the first series, Paperinik has already been Paperinik with help from Gyro, and ''is'' famous, but the continuity of the later stories erased that element, and seem to take place in an AlternateUniverse where Donald never became Paperinik before he met One (the suit is retconned to be the Guardian of the Galaxy's standard uniform) (and by the way, for the record, there is no such things as Guardians of the Galaxy in the first series).

* In the relaunch stories Paperinik states he has a [[ThouShallNotKill no killing rule]]. Since when? Even discounting the pre-PKNA stories where he threw Gladstone off a building (that's attempted murder, for the uninformed) and set off lynching mobs (twice), in the original series he ''did'' use lethal force, even against Evronians and their spores.

** The most probable answer is [[DependingOnTheWriter the current writers portraying him with different values.]] In-universe, it might've come from something that happened in the years before he returned to costume duty.

** In "In the Mist" Paperinik openly stated he was ''extremely'' rusty with those skills, barely able to shrug off Ahrimadz's hypnosis. Between that and the fact Trauma's psychic attack wasn't even slowed by Paperinik's defences when they were still fresh, I'd say it's both.

** Leaving aside that One too found it out on his own (and ''by accident'') before ever meeting PK and Lyla found it out before becoming an ally, Paperinik ''has'' an habit of revealing his identity to people, on condition they aren't inclined to tell around or blackmailing him and that it's unlikely they can be forced to tell. Hence why Donald's relatives and Daisy don't know, Gyro would take memory-wiping pills every time he finds out (his own idea) and Xadhoom was told: Don doesn't trust Daisy and his relatives to accidentally or willingly blab it out or, in case of Scrooge and Gladstone, blackmail him, Gyro could be easily kidnapped and forced to tell, and Xadhoom has no reason to blackmail him or blab it and is too invincible to be forced to say.

** Donald likely told him off-screen. After all, Paperinik's a guest at the Century, and Lyo is heavily implied to be a retired superhero himself in this continuity.

** The title was probably reassigned while Trip was being raised by the Organization, and he didn't take it because he was superior even to that.

** Because he was feeling himself used: he doesn't mind helping, but they roped him into it by treating him as an actual agent. Considering Paperinik's full name is Paperinik the ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Devilish Avenger]]'' and the shit he pulled in the non-PKNA stories (like ''sacking half the city'' to track down a well-hidden mob boss. He later gave everything back, but he still ''stole half of Duckburg '''single-handedly'''''), they got away easy.

* In ''[ =PK2=]'', does Lyo know Paperinik's SecretIdentity? Donald is usually in costume around him, but issue 16 showes that he has no problem in changing to his civilian person inside the Century.
