History NightmareFuel / PaperinikNewAdventures

* ''Chronicle of a Return'' starts funny with a force of officer-less Evronians trying to be the usual planet-conquering army but only resulting amusing, but then goes straight into some of the worst nightmare fuel of the series so far:
** Those Evronians above seems responsible for the world going into a new ice age by doing ''something'' to the Sun, and came in the solar system on a PlanetSpaceship.
*** It gets better: it's revealed that, when the population of the Evronian PlanetSpaceship grows too high, [[spoiler:the Evronians grab a planet, turn it into a spaceship, and then divide the population between the two planetoid, complete with an emperor each]]. Meaning that Zotnam technically was the first emperor we've seen... And, as Paperinik says when he finds out, [[spoiler:''there's multiple Evronian Empires out there, '''and we don't know how many Xadhoom destroyed before declaring "Closed accounts!"''''']].

** In the middle of the battle between the Evronians and the En'tomek we get the appearance of the Rettificators. Three (as far as we know) beings that offer anyone they meet the chance of joining them into spreading the Universal Norm or die... [[spoiler:And have enough power to take on both an Evronian PlanetSpaceship with fleet and an En'tomek force capable of matching them and ''win'']]. And that's why those Evronians are led only by a sergeant and there are En'tomek on the ship: [[spoiler:the Rettificators killed their emperor and all officers before going out and wiping out the fleets, and the surviving Evronians on the planetoid ran away with the group of En'tomek that had boarded them]].

* The 2015 relaunch story ''The Banks of Time'' have what is possibly the scariest {{Reveal}} in the whole series, all versions of it. Time has gone crazy, with all futures true at once, and what caused it? [[spoiler:''A faulty ArtificialGravity generator created by a character who once nearly blew up Duckburg trying to realize cold fusion'']]. And the idiot who did it is still around determinated to try again...

** In ''Pikappa'' the Evronians have "Planetary Coolflamizers", practically an emotion-absorbing equivalent of the [[StarWars Death Star]]: they just need to set some realy points and an entire planet can be subjugated with a single shot.

** The newly arisen Evronians don't stop there: it's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:they have a further breed of SuperSoldier ''based on Trauma''. They appear less powerful than the original but are still huge, strong and with fear-inducing powers. The new costume shields Paperinik from them, but the thought of a small army of them is not reassuring]].

* In #12 of the reboot, after Vendor causes [[spoiler:Lyo's death]], PK goes on a rampage to kill him. It's [[MookHorrorShow way more]] [[KubrickStare terryfing than]] [[ImplacableMan you think]].

** And that's not the ''really'' scary part. The scariest part comes from the knowledge this is the ''original'' Paperinik, the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Devilish Avenger]], the AntiHero whose fame once was such that it could terrify into helplessness the whole Duckburg by merely flying over it and, even after becoming an hero, was prone to inflict incredibly humiliating punishments to anyone who pissed him off ranging from making Gladstone believe he had lost his luck to ''[[TorchesAndPitchforks set up lynching mobs]] and laugh while enjoying the show''[[note]]He did it ''twice''. In one occasion the husbands of Duckburg had started pranking their wives to ruin his fame so they wouldn't be forced to try and imitate the idealized image of him the wives had, and Paperinik had ''all'' of their wives catch them as they bragged. In the other the Beagle Boys had organized a marathon with Paperinik's secret identity as the prize to empty the city and sack it (they didn't actually know it, but only they and Paperinik himself knew this), and Paperinik ''lured the whole population of the city back in town and exactly where they were stealing''. It's implied the wives stopped short of actually murdering their husbands, and the mob lynching the Beagle Boys is shown stopping after giving them a terrifying beat up, but they're most disconcerting.[[/note]], ''[[FromBadToWorse and now he has a large arsenal of incredibly powerful alien weapons]]''.

** And there's more. In the future, [[spoiler:Earth has been turned into a new [[PlanetSpaceship planet Evron]], by building monstrous engines that destroyed a good third of the surface upon activation]]. In the present, the Evronians are at their most menacing: [[spoiler:PK must fight them without any of the old allies and gadgets, while the Evronians have a new breed of SuperSoldier and a genetic scanner. This means the hero cannot hide (he tries at the beginning of the story but the quickly spot him), or be safe as Donald Duck either; in fact, in the BadFuture the Evronians killed him in his civilian persona. On that matter, the death of Donald is not shown but the moment before: the 313 car wrecked and him, on the ground, helpless, with several laser pointers on him, a true execution.]]

* The 2014 relaunch story "Might and Power" has [[spoiler: the Evronian conquest of Earth]]. Both in the results and in ''how'' it happened: [[spoiler: a single Evronian shape-shifting spy was left on Earth, and, with the help of a mad scientist, a visionary billionaire, a number of Evronian caches and an unknown number of Evronian ''spores'' (not adult individuals, ''embryos''), put together an army that conquered Earth in ''[[CurbStompBattle one month]]'', of course after assassinating Pk]].

* The situation gets better soon after, but not before a [[spoiler:FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: nothing graphic, but Zoster is disintegrated to particles ''on-panel'', with his face horribly distorted.]]

** The regular Evronian warriors are no slouches themselves: take away the beak and add a tail, and you'll get [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/Alien_vs._Predator_%282004%29_-_Alien.jpg this guy]].

* [[VillainOfTheWeek Raghor]] was pretty scary: not only was he a half-Evronian, half-animal hybrid with SuperStrength and SuperSenses, he was also a SocialDarwinist that planned to eliminate the other Evronians since he considered them unworthy. And that [[NightmareFace face]]...

* [[VillainOfTheWeek Raghor]] was pretty scary: not only was he a half-evronian, half-animal hybrid with SuperStrength and SuperSenses, he was also a SocialDarwinist that planned to eliminate the other Evronians since he considered them unwhorty. And that [[NightmareFace face]]...

* The 1998 Special, set before issues #0 and #0/2, recounts one of the first encounters between Paperinik, still inexperienced with the new enemies, and a few Coolflames. As he's on the verge of being defeated, he has an allucination of Daisy and Fethry turned into Coolflames.

* Mekkano from PKNA #20 is almost "cute" at first, but as it continues to assimilate stuff, the danger he poses becomes incresingly evident, reaching its apex at the end of the issue: [[BodyHorror he assimilates Gorthan]].
* Lyla's second checkup in "Fragments of Autumn": first off, all her sintetic skin has been removed (except her face, which makes it even creepier). Secondly, she has cables all over her, including one right in the center of the neck. And lastly, since she is in the droids' equivalent of sleep, she has a vacant, almost zombie-like stare on her face.
* In [=PK2=] #11, Paperinik falls victim of Korinna's mental powers and as an hallucination where he is handcuffed in front of the cameras, and Angus can unmask him... "Ha! I knew he was a nobody!", and as the mask is pulled off Paperinik finds himself ''with no face''.
** What about the first time he's affected by her hallucinations? "Profunda" takes off the hood to reveal Everett, who, in this series, has made a FaceHeelTurn. Then One shows up... a ''reprogrammed'' One.

* The [[TwoFaced cover]] for #12,"Second Writing".
* Gorthan's assimilation from Mekkano in #20.
