** It's not much that he can't fight (he held his own quite well in more than one occasion, and is also capable of using his wits to take down much stronger opponents), but Mickey's real strengths are his cleverness, is ability in making deductions and his connections, which he used to find Scrooge. To do that, however, he needed to be free to move on his own, while the Ultraheroes had to be ready to jump at the call, and that's why Mickey wouldn't have been a good call. Also, it isn't the first time Gus gets on the action to take out villain, he does it in the "agent of GNAM" series (alas, however, in this series he isn't in his GNAM persona).

** The Sinister Seven are a combination of Paperinik foes (Sapphire, Spectrus, Inquinator) and classic villains with significant history with other Ultraheroes members (Phantom Blot, Emil Eagle, Peg-Leg Pete), presumably to achieve the best possible credibility as threats. Rockerduck is a bit of a special case, but he has been shown to be ruthless and helps explain the resources of the group. Miklos is resourceful, but little-known and a bit of a one-trick pony; Perfidus would be a fourth Paperinik-specific villain in a seven members team, and look a bit like a mix of Paperinik himself and Inquinator to boot. Using Perfidus instead of Inquinator would probably work, but Inquinator is slightly more colorful and less Paperinik-specific than Perfidus.



** And that explains that Paperinik didn't jump Eega as soon as the situation was resolved... How, exactly?

*** There is no explicit answer, but it is reasonable to assume that Paperinik feels that Villa Rosa's significance and legacy are no worse maintained and protected as the headquarters of the Ultraheroes as they ever could have been. In early stories his protectiveness of Villa Rosa was to a large extent motivated by a fear of exposure of his and Fantomius' secrets. Even if he has any lingering reservations, his best strategy at this point is probably not to bring any further attention to the place.

** They can still procure a lot of money with ease, even counting just the other canon members of the Bad-7: while Inquinator isn't that good compared to the others, Black Spot and Pete together have shown multiple times they can rob Mouseton blind when they work together, Zafire and Spectrus can hypnotize people into just giving them their money, and as this is an Italian story with Super Goof, we can expect Emil [[CorruptCorporateExecutive to be filthy rich on his own]]. Also, among the replacements we have Magica, who can easily rob anyone but Scrooge, Miklos, whose first two appearances had him rob Mouseton blind while framing Mickey for it, and Perfidus, who, in his one appearance, proved himself capable of waltzing through the Money Bin's defences and steal the Number One Dime.

*** Basically, that story was Inquinator breaking out of jail and polluting until it was revealed his secret identity (somehow gone unexposed during his jailtime) lived with an aunt [[NeatFreak obsessed with cleanliness]] and [[FreudianExcuse became obsessed with dirtying and polluting in retaliation]], and reformed when Paperinik filled their home with dust and sent her running. The ''art'' was awesome, but the story... Not so much.

** There are other villains, but Rockerduck is the one who could pay for everything (their equipment seems much more exoensive than anything else they ever used). They could have called Flintheart for that, true, but it's likely that they didn't really trust him (Rockerduck has, after all, some history in cooperating with other villains).

** Because Paperinik doesn't, actually, visit it that often, by the time the story was written his visits were reduced to very few moments when he felt really nostalgic. Considering Scrooge is his uncle, Donald can easy anticipate any attempt by him to touch it (same for Rockerduck, since Scrooge will know his rival's moves), but the same isn't true for Eega (also, considering his technology, he might even be able to do everything in a night or two, not enough time for Paperinik to stop it).

* How did Eega Beeva get away with building his base over the ruins of Villa Rosa? Paperinik visits often and is jealous as hell of the place (Rockerduck's attempt to build a tourist village over it ended with him convinced the place was haunted and running from a fake ghost, and Scrooge couldn't even ''start'' his own attempt before being forced to give up), it should have come to blows.

** Because this adventure is about fighting, and Mickey isn't that physically strong. On the other hand Gus ''is'' strong, and Gladstone (that is in the Italian version, so he's less egotistical than the US version) is lucky enough he should compensate with that.

* Why did they bring in Rockerduck as a supervillain? Disney stories have a large number of villains for the role (to name a few known in Italy: Magica, the Rhyming Man, Pete's cousin Plottigatt, Sapphire's former allies Dr. Hach-Mac with his robotic assistant [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Dumb]], the Twin Boys and Mr. Invisible, the fake superhero Pap-Man, and, to keep the best for last Miklos the Grey Mouse and the perfidious Perfidus, possibly the greatest rivals of Mickey and Paperinik respectively), and yet we got Rockerduck with money-themed rollers...

It's fair that Goofy, Donald, Daisy and even Fethry are on the team, as they already had pre-established superhero names and identities, but why would Eega Beeva choose super-egotistical Gladstone and super-lazy Gus over the intelligent and competent Mickey for the team?
