WMG / Ducktales 2017 Characters

Mrs. Beakley left SHUSH because she was pregnant.

After she got pregnant with Webby’s mother she took a job as Scrooge’s housekeeper because she couldn’t do field work anymore and in the hopes that she would be able to provide a safer and more stable life for her this way than she could as a spy. Webby is about the same age as the boys and Beakley was seen working as a field agent for SHUSH around the ‘70s, so Webby’s mother would have been in her 20s or early 30s when Webby was born depending on when exactly Beakley left SHUSH. As for what happened to Webby’s mother, that is a subject for another WMG.

• Jossed. So very, VERY Jossed.

Gyro will turn out to be Evil All Along.

Not only to the other characters and the audience, but also to himself.

• Possibly Jossed, as Word of God insisted he is Not Evil, Just Misunderstood.
  • Completely jossed.

Huey, Dewey and Louie will be closer friends with Webby

The original show usually had the triplets ignore her whenever she wanted to be part of their activities for being younger. Since Webby is shown to be around the same age this time around, they all will likely treat her nicer and one of them could even develop a crush on her.

• Dewey seems to be the one to fit this, as he is consistently seen with Webby in the opening and appears in her introductory short.
• Both Confirmed and Jossed; while the triplets do have a closer friendship with her than in the original series, Word of God states that there will be no romance between her and any of them. Not like that will stop the fans, though...

Webby will have a Dark and Troubled Past

Since we are promised that Webby in this series will be more than just a cute little girl, we may find out what exactly happened to her parents and how her grandmother Mrs. Beakley became her legal guardian. The two of them won't get along like they did in the original series because of their different personalities. Webby will also hide a lot of her sadness by constantly being hyper and cheerful.

• The Quacky Patch doll was something that was given to Webby as a means of remembering her parents, possibly her mother. The fact she's using it as target practice, it has become, or has always been, a symbol of resentment her parents, and throughout the series we may see more instances of that doll getting abused in some way.

Bubba and Tootsie have already been revealed

In Scrooge's garage are a caveduck and triceratops fossils set right next to each other. Whether that means that they will be characters or just shout-outs is unknown, but it is those characters.

• The caveduck skeleton reappears as a prop on Dewey Dew-Night.
• Bubba and Tootsie appear in "Timephoon" thanks to Time Travel shenanigans, unrelated to those skeletons. But those skeletons being them is neither confirmed nor jossed.

Della is actually a Shadow Archetype for both Scrooge and Donald

Notice how shocked and angry Scrooge gets when Dewey throws his words about family being "nothing but trouble" back in his face. What if this was her last words to Scrooge and Donald before disappearing? That she couldn't let go of the idea of adventuring? And thus abandoned both of them for some reason to adventure forever in another setting? This would then cause her to change both ducks as a reaction to this act. Donald reacted by becoming ultra safe, because he didn't want to lose another family member. Scrooge reacted by "retiring" to basic business, possibly out of guilt for seeing himself in Della's actions and reacting to the extreme the other way.

• Played with. While we never quite learn her full reason for taking the spear for herself, she did seem interested in exploring space without real regard for her brother's thoughts.

Webby is related to Scrooge by marriage

It will be made canon that Matilda McDuck married Ludwig von Drake, then revealed that Ludwig's sister married a Vanderquack and had a son—Webby's father. That would make Webby the grandniece of Matilda, and while she still isn't related to Scrooge by blood, she starts calling him Uncle Scrooge anyway.

• She's started calling Uncle Scrooge anyway; no word about any relationship by marriage.

Fenton and Webby will have a close relationship that will mirror Drake and Gosalyn's.

This idea originated towards the end of the Boom! Comics and will be carried over into the new show to further the parallels between Gizmoduck and Darkwing Duck, especially now that Fenton and Webby have more dynamic Personalities.

Della Duck's husband will appear and get his own official name.

It would make sense given they added "Cabrera" to the end of a certain superhero's surname. It would was originally rumored that his name was Jamie, due to a certain misconception with the owner of a Duck Family portrait writing his name under the unnamed duck's face.

Everyone will have parental issues

The boys have their missing mom and unknown dad, Webby has missing parents that may or may not be tied to S.H.U.S.H(and she may may not resent for abandoning her), Donald's parents have his temper and a missing daughter and Scrooge has issues with everyone. They might even bring up Fenton Crackshell's father.

The Big Bad will be a Thanos expy

Bonus points if he's voiced by Jim Cummings, who did voiced Thanos in The Super Hero Squad Show.

• Let's not mention Jim Cummings is actually CONFIRMED for the new series.
  • Maybe not. Given that Magica de Spell seems to be the arc villain, and the showrunners teased her as playing in the same league as Bill Cipher...
  • Jossed for Season 1. The Big Bad is Magica de Spell.
  • Given that Bradford's plan in "The Last Adventure" involved killing everyone with Solegio Circuit to stop chaos, I could say semi-confirmed?

Garvey Gull, the orphan seagull from the comics, will appear.

Anthropomorphic seagulls already showed up as background characters.

Arpin Lusene will appear

Bonus points if he turns out to be connected to the Lupin III reference in the pilot.

• Perhaps the Lupin III lookalike that appears as a background character in "Astro B.O.Y.D." is the grandson of Arpin Lusene?

Huey, Dewey and Louie's father is a Glomgold.

Flintheart's obsession with one upping Scrooge is so strong, it's not implausible that he would go so far as to get his own nephew/surrogate son sidekick to compete with Donald back in the day. Through their Uncles' tussles, Della and Glomgold Jr. developed a genuine respect for the other, eventually falling in love. As soon as it was out in the open, Scrooge and Flinty vetoed the relationship to high heaven, even when Junior proved his devotion to Della by disowning from the Glomgold name. With no other choice, the couple eloped and had the triplets with Donald's help. Scrooge blamed Flintheart for this falling out with his niece, which is how he was finally upgraded from "obnoxious annoyance" to "sworn enemy."

• Though Donald didn't recognize Glomgold's name in the first episode.
• There's also the possibility of their father being Glomgold's nephew Slackjaw Snorehead and everything Donald knew about Scrooge's veto is that Slackjaw is his arch-enemy's nephew. Donald can't keep track of Scrooge's arch-enemies.

Deadpool will Show Up in a future episode or at least, a Female Expy of him

First Disney owns Marvel and now, Fox, why not? Imagine the interaction of the Ducks and Ryan Reynolds doing a Role Reprise of him from the Live-action version as of 2016.

Slash Smashnikov has/wants to have children.

He's the only one even looking at Donald when he's showing pictures. He's scowling, sure, but he's still looking. Maybe he's thinking about kids he already has, or ones he wants to have, but doesn't want anyone to see him as a softie.

As a reference to mainstream Huey, Dewey and Louie...

A flashback will depict a young Donald with a voice very similar to their 80's incarnation.

• Confirmed! Russi Taylor voices tween Donald in "Last Christmas!"

Gyro is on the Autism Spectrum.

I just got this sort of vibe from during his first episode.

• I had the same impression too. He pretty much reminds me of an avian Sheldon Cooper, who has a disorder most often assumed by fans to be a combination of Asperger's and OCD.
  • Another indication: he only made Oxy-Chew in one flavor, black licorice, because it's his favorite flavore and he assumed everyone else would like it too.

Hack or Slash will be a Cool Big Bro to the other.

It's been confirmed that main the focus of the show is going to be family. Maybe that won't just apply to the main characters. Assuming one of the Smashnikovs is older, it could be a nice way to give them some Hidden Depths. Maybe through moments of Big Brother Instinct?

An episode will feature Donald having an adventure of his own with cousins Gladstone and Fethry; we will also meet Gladstone's nephew Shamrock and Fethry's nephew Dugan, who will be Generation Xeroxes.

Webby is homeschooled.

Besides learning martial arts and how to be Crazy-Prepared, Beakley also taught Webby basic education. Although, given Webby's knowledge of impressive material, it could be beyond that.

• Confirmed by Word of God.

Webby's grandfather and Beakley's husband is J. Gander Hooter

Just an idea I had and wanted to put out there. It would be an interesting way of connecting Beakley to S.H.U.S.H.

• It would also mean that "Mrs. Beakley" is just an alias she adopted (as it otherwise would mean she was married to a Mr. Beakley).
  • Either that or it could be that Beakley is just her maiden name which she goes by to avoid being connected to S.H.U.S.H or to avoid attracting attention of F.O.W.L or something.

Lena/Magica was holding the boat down with magic.

At the beginning of the Beagle Birthday Massacre, the boys, their gear, and Webby make the boat too heavy to float (apparently). But at the end it easily supports the triplets, Webby, and Lena. Unless all the gear weighs substantially more than the two girls (Lena being larger than the others), why would it go from scraping the bottom to floating high?

Lena is magically cursed with Magica's essence.

Hence how their relationship is so prickly with each other. Lena doesn't want to be carrying around her aunt's dark presence, even to the point that she doesn't want her harming Mrs. Beakley even when they're all alone.

• Played with. She was created from Magica's shadow, and thus magically bound to her.

The difficulty people have working out where Lena's loyalties lie is because she has both of them and does not realise that they will conflict

With the family she had she is desperate for a friend, and also wants to help the person who helped anchor her to sanity. So Lena wants both to be friends with Webby, and to rescue her Aunt. Of course the conflict will only become apparent after Lena has got her Aunt Magica's body back. She'll go one way of the other after soul searching.

• Not exactly, but close enough. She was created by Magica with the intention to get her body back and have her revenge on Scrooge, but she suffers from the abuse by Magica and genuinely likes Webby.

Louie is a Huey/Webby Shipper on Deck.

We saw in "Daytrip of Doom" that in his mind, two people of the opposite sex fighting = romantic attraction ("Wait, are they gonna kiss?"). In "Terror of the Terra-firmians," he finds Huey and Webby fighting "more entertaining than that movie" and is moved to tears of joy when they grow closer after the cave-in. By the end of that episode, he's already jumping to inevitable conclusions.

Donald's been borrowing money from Gladstone

The nephews were never told that Scrooge McDuck is their granduncle, but they know and recognize Gladstone. While Donald dislikes his cousin at least as much as he disliked Scrooge in the pilot, he's not going to let his nephews go hungry out of stubborn pride- so, when times are leaner than usual, Donald begs Gladstone for some extra cash. While Gladstone is a bad influence and an arrogant show-off, he's also less likely to bring the boys on a dangerous adventure like Scrooge does. So, Donald swallows his pride, allows Gladstone to make a fool out of him, and feeds the boys for another week.

Launchpad is part pelican.

He's much larger than most of the other ducks, and has a rather pelican-like bill. While we haven't actually seen any anthropomorphic pelicans that I'm aware of, there does seem to be a larger variety of types of anthro birds than the original series, so it's not too far-fetched. Plus, Gladstone is the son of a duck and a goose, so interbreeding between different types of birds isn't out of the question. It's possible Launchpad's mother was a pelican, and his father was a duck, hence his duck-related last name.

• One anthropomorphic pelican actually appears in the background: it's the third sea captain that chases away the non-anthropomorphic seagull in the opening scene (it is quite far away so it's hard to get a good look at him, but he seems to have a characteristic pelican bill).
• Considering in the original series, Launchpad's father appeared to also be a pelican while his mother and sister were clearly ducks, it's entirely possible.
  • Also, Gladstone AND Donald are part coot. As far as we know, the last living pure blooded ducks in the extended Duck/McDuck family are Scrooge and his sister Matilda. So hybrids are long established in this universe, making Launchpad's speculative pelican lineage not just possible, but probable.
• For what it’s worth, the surname “McQuack” could also apply to a pelican, as pelicans also quack.

Falcon Graves is a rogue SHUSH agent.

Being a Badass in a Nice Suit and an extremely competent fighter, the whole character gives some James Bond vibes. Maybe he worked for SHUSH as a secret agent like Derek Blunt from Darkwing Duck, but his violent temper and/or his lack of subtlety eventually got him at odds with the SHUSH leaders, he went rogue, and now uses his fighting and spying skills for rich people who hire him.

Gyro Gearloose will become a villain.

In "The Great Dime Chase!", we see that Gyro will build the Gizmoduck suit. However, we are also told half of his inventions turn evil by accident. In the future, he could work for Glomgold, and deliberately build an evil robot, to get revenge on Scrooge's Board of Directors.

• Jossed, Gyro stays as a heroic character through the entire show and tooks a level in a kindess. Him defeating F.O.W.L and Bradford alongside Duck family might count as getting revenge on Board of Directors.

Gyro will be a double agents.

As an alternative, Gyro will work for Glomgold as a double agent.

• Jossed.

Daisy is related to Huey, Dewey and Louie and their father

Don Rosa stated that "Daisy is the sister of Donald's brother-in-law". Since Della is Donald's only sister, that would make Della, Daisy's sister-in-law and Huey, Dewey and Louie's paternal aunt.Not to mention as we all know, Daisy is the aunt of her sister's daughters, who are also coincidentally triplets, April, May and June. But what if its not a coincidence? What if having triplets is a common thing in Daisy's family, which is why her brother has triplet sons? That would make Daisy aunt of all six triplets and makes the boy triplets and girl triplets cousins.

Magica started out like in the comics.

She was depended on magical artifacts and theatrics when she was younger, when she first fought Scrooge. Then after that she gained genuine magical abilities to better beat Scrooge, but it still wasn't enough so she will use a spell to transform herself into a Humanoid Abomination to beat Scrooge. Scrooge, Donald, and Della, will be barely able to beat but they manage to seal her into an amulet which was taken by Poe De Spell which Lena found after Poe had become a raven.

• Largely Jossed. In the flashback of "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck", her earliest appearance timeline-wise, she and Poe are both powerful sorcerers who torment a village For the Evulz. Then, fighting Scrooge, Magica accidentally turns Poe into a raven, and she does not know how to turn him back. During a later fight between Scrooge and Magica, alluded to in "The Shadow War!", Scrooge managed to seal Magica in his Number One Dime, but not before she could turn her shadow into a person that became Lena.

Scrooge wasn't telling the entire truth about what happened to Mallardy.

If he really did cut Scrooge loose early, how DID Scrooge know where the cave was? And why would Mallardy blame Scrooge for his death? Given how Scrooge treats Della's disappearance, we know he's not above hiding things. Maybe he had more of an involvement in Mallardy's death than he's letting on, either directly or indirectly, and now he's too ashamed of his past actions to tell the kids the truth.

Goldie is an adventurer because Scrooge's plan to teach her a lesson long ago semi-backfired.

In the comic, Goldie was a dance-hall girl addicted to wealth. She stole Scrooge's very first treasure, the Goose Egg Nugget, so when he stole it back, he stole HER, too, dragging her to the creek where he'd found it and forcing her to work with him there to teach her - who'd always used her looks to make her money - the importance of hard work. In the reboot, something similar happened, with the unintended consequence of Goldie becoming a treasure-hunting adventurer like Scrooge.

Beakley was originally Donald and Della's nanny.

Donald knows her well enough to informally call her "Mrs. B" and she certainly embodies the archetypal tough but fair, no-nonsense British nanny. While the young Duck twins were spending time at McDuck Manor, or potentially after their uncle adopted them, Scrooge hired Beakley to watch over them when he was too preoccupied with business matters. If the crack about secretly being a spy was true, Beakley accepted the job to infiltrate the manor and keep an eye on Scrooge, but still developed a bond with the wards, being a mother herself. When the twins grew up, Scrooge kept Beakley on as a housekeeper because she had fully integrated into the household, and Scrooge didn't want to lose one of his few real friends.

Webby's paternal grandparents didn't approve their parents' marriage.

With a surname like "Vanderquack", it wouldn't be a surprise if they turned out to be Old Money. They didn't approve the marriage because Webby's mother is the daughter of a servant. Webby's father doesn't mind losing the Vanderquack inheritance but was still influenced enough by his roots to give his daughter a fancy name like "Webbigail". They'll eventually show up because they'll need her to keep the Vanderquack fortune in the family.

Scrooge and Professor Von Drake had a falling out over Matilda.

This hinges on Ludwig actually being Scrooge's brother-in-law and not Donald's Honorary Uncle in this universe. The Professor was once the greatest mind at Scrooge's disposal in a similar position to Gyro. Then he and Matilda fell in love and Scrooge did not approve. Either the magnate didn't want an employee to join his family, or the hidden side of himself that loves his family thought Von Drake was too much of a crackpot to be good enough for Matilda.

• Pretty much Jossed since Von Drake is established to have been the director of S.H.U.S.H. who got along just fine with Scrooge, and there is no indication of a relationship between him and Matilda.

Donald will start appearing more when he and Scrooge make up

Maybe the reason that Donald isn't going on the adventurers is because he doesn't want to deal with Scrooge and obviously he doesn't want to see the triplets getting into trouble.We've only seen him going on two adventurers. This first time was unwittingly and the second time was when he thought his cousin was in trouble.So maybe we'll have an episode in the future where he and Scrooge finally bury the hatchet which as a bonus will make him more willing to tag along on these outings with Scrooge and the kids.

Glomgold and Beaks are the resident wealthy villains for a reason rooted in the Disney Duck mythos.

Glomgold is a toughy, and Beaks is a smarty. And as every Disney Duck fan of any kind will know, Uncle Scrooge made a vow about people like them a very long time ago...

The mother of Storkules was a mortal stork-woman.

Perhaps the origin of Storkules is closer to the original Hercules myth than the Disney version: to seduce the beautiful stork-queen (whose name was Storkmene), Zeus turned into her husband and fathered Storkules. This would explain why Storkules is a different type of bird than his father.

• Jossed in "New Gods on the Block!". Zeus alludes to fighting the titans side by side with Storkules's mother, which implies she's a goddess (most likely Hera).

Darkwing Duck is Real After All.

While Darkwing does appear to be a Show Within a Show, this does not mean he has to be a complete work of fiction. Perhaps he retired from crime-fighting at some point before DuckTales takes place to be a full-time father and lives off merchandise royalty and/or acting under a false name in the Darkwing Duck TV show. Considering his ego, it's well within the realm of possibility that he would make merchandise and even a TV show about himself once retired. Furthermore, we know that at least the city of St. Canard really does exist. From a more meta standpoint, it would be a bit of a jerk move to make such a big deal about Darkwing Duck returning and only have him appear briefly in a Show Within a Show. Also, this tweet suggests that there may be more to Darkwing in this continuity than what first appears.

• Jim Starling will be a real Hero who made his adventures as Darkwing Duck into a tv show, Jim Starling will end up passing the Darkwing Duck identity to a successor who will be Drake Mallard.
  • Jim Starling being a real hero is Jossed. Jim Starling is a jerk actor who can't accept that someone else is taking over his role and who hates Drake Mallard when he's cast in a reboot movie.
  • The Darkwing Duck identity being passed on to Drake Mallard is Confirmed. Drake, with Launchpad's encouragement, decides to fight crime for real and actually become Darkwing Duck.

Jim Starling in the present time is a washed up has-been.

Jim Starling in the modern day is an out of shape middle-aged duck signing autographs in comic book conventions. There was a controversy that caused his show to be cancelled (and ruined his career). Launchpad and the nephews will turn his life back around.

• So a future Darkwing episode would essentially be this show's equivalent to "Beware the Gray Ghost"? I can actually see that working.
  • Partially Confirmed. Jim is a washup doing autograph shows. But he's also a jerk who goes insane when recast and attempts to murder his replacement.

One of Webby's parents is a villain, which is why Beakley's raising her.

• I call Steelbeak!
  • Does that mean that Webby is part chicken?
• It's speculated below that Webby's mother is Bianca Beakley, a.k.a. Darkwing Duck villain Bugmaster, who in this continuity is Mrs. Beakley's daughter.
  • In "Let's Get Dangerous!", Bugmaster is mentioned as a character from the Darkwing Duck Show Within a Show, making this theory unlikely. On the other hand, Pepper the Egghead is a likely candidate to be Webby's mother.

Gyro's father is Steelbeak.

They're both chickens after all. Honestly, I'm not sure if Gyro does have a canon father. Steelbeak though does make sense on a genetic level and could be partially why Gyro has such a hard time relating with people. Steelbeak's "above it all" attitude rubbed off on his son, but not his charisma.

• Jossed. Steelbeak is implied to be younger than Gyro.

The Board of Directors were hoping that Scrooge would tank his interview in Jaw$ and the resulting bad PR would give them an excuse boot him out of his own company.

Think about, they are literally a bunch of vultures who really don't approve of Scrooge's numerous expenses or his employee choices and are perfectly willingly to cut anything from the company to save a buck.

• Possibly jossed, given that Bradford still wanted Scrooge to be head of company to still fund F.O.W.L.

There will be a villain team up in a future episode.

And Magica will be the leader. I mean, you can't make as many enemies as Scrooge had without some of them trying to work together to get rid of you.

• It appears in the trailer for the second half of season two that Glomgold is leading a villain team up.
• Confirmed. In "Glomtales", Glomgold recruits the Beagle Boys, Mark Beaks, Don Karnage and Magica to take down Scrooge together.

Duckworth ships Scroldie.

That's why he didn't do anything about Goldie breaking into the mansion. After all, it's heavily implied that he's still floating around, managing security.

Duckworth died from a head wound

His ghostly demon form has a crack on the skull so perhaps he was killed via head wound

• That apparently was a real axe.
  • So Bradford (or assassin hired by him) killed him using an axe?!

Rather than a re-imagination of the same character, Don Karnage from this show is a descendant of Don Karnage from TaleSpin.

This would explain why he is in the 2010s as opposed to the 1930s, why he looks different (notably, much less scruffy and lacking a visible tail) and has a different voice actor, and why none of his crew have the same name as the pirates from TaleSpin. He's probably a grandson or great-grandson who continues the family business of air piracy and tries to live up to his ancestor's reputation.

• Confirmed by Word Of God.

Ludwig von Drake became an Honorary Uncle to Donald as a cover story.

When Scrooge gained custody of Donald and Della, he was still actively working with SHUSH. Director Von Drake regularly visited Scrooge to send him on missions, but they wanted to keep it secret from Donald and Della, so they told the children that he's just "Uncle Ludwig", Scrooge's friend and/or distant relative.

Hortense was over a 100 years old when she got Donald and Della.

Word of God claims that Scrooge is around 150 and Donald is in his mid-thirties, which makes one wonder, how big age gap is there between Scrooge and Hortense, and how old was Hortense when she had Donald and Della? One possible solution is that, in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", it was revealed that when Scrooge restored the family castle for his parents, he built in some druid stones that grant immortality. Although the episode does not mention it, but when this happened, Hortense may have been still living with her parents, and thus was over a 100 years old when she met Quackmore Duck (Donald and Della's father). When she left the castle to live with Quackmore, she lost her immortality and died not soon after her children were born, leaving Donald and Della in custody of Scrooge. Alternatively...

Fergus and Downy were over a 100 years old when they got Hortense.

Another explanation for the age gap between Scrooge and Donald is that Hortense wasn't even born when Scrooge rebuilt Castle McDuck, and it was Fergus and Downy who were over a 100 years old when Hortense was born (assuming that the druid stones extend not only their life, but also their fertility). The rest of the story plays out as the above WMG, except there's no May–December Romance between Quackmore and Hortense.

Doofus' backstory

"Doofus" isn't even his actual name. Rather, his grandmother will turn out to have been a Rich Bitch who used that word as a mean nickname for her grandson, who only took it as a compliment. After she died and her fortune was passed down, her heartbroken grandson requested to be called Doofus from now on to honor her memory. His Jerkassery will turn out to have been inherited from her as well.

The board didn't force Scrooge to stop because it was costing too much money, but because it was costing too many lives.

We saw a fleet of ships launching into space to find Della, but we didn't see any return. Not even return empty handed. The board was forced to put their foot down when Scrooge was about to send another fleet to their doom.

• "What Ever Happened To Della Duck?!" suggests that Scrooge's astronauts did not go too far from Earth, and they did look on the surface of the Moon. We see that an astronaut flies by the Moon and fails a spot check. Nothing suggests that they did not return empty-handed.
• Jossed. Bradford not only do that on purpose to break Scrooge heart ,but also he was responsible for Della's crash on the Moon.

The triplets were illegitimate.

We know that Della was a bold, adventure-loving, Thrill Seeker with a stubborn streak. It's not implausible that she would have enjoyed, ah, "sowing her oats", as it were. Huey, Dewey & Louie's father might have been either a one-night stand, or a boyfriend she broke up with (or dumped) because he refused to accept her adventurous nature and instead expected her to become a stay-at-home mother. Of course this can never be stated in canon because DuckTales is still a Disney show aimed at kids, but it makes sense.

• This idea got a lot stronger after The Last Crash of the Sunchaser showed that their father was absent even before they hatched.

Bubba and Fenton will meet each other.

In the original series despite both getting introduced in the second season the Bubba episodes and Fenton/Gizmoduck episodes were mutually exclusive and the two never interacted with one another, with the closest they ever got was appearing together in the same photograph featured in one episode. In this series the two will meet and Fenton will say something like "do I know you?" or a similar line, as a nod to the fact that they didn't ever meet in the first cartoon.

• Sadly jossed.

The De Spell family will be Composite Characters with The Whiskerville Clan.

Magica De Spell mentioned that her family and Scrooge's family having been fighting for centuries, where as in the comics it was Clan McDuck and The Whiskerville Clan that have been fighting for centuries. So in this universe the De Spells will take the role of the Whiskervilles being creating the Hound Of Dismal Downs, only this time it isn't a costume.

• The Demon Dog of Castle McDuck is sort of a counterpart to the Hound of Dismal Downs, but it was summoned by a McDuck ancestor to guard the Templar Treasure, rather than by any of the De Spell family.
  • Magica will end up summoning the Hound Of Dismal Downs, leave Scrooge's family no choice but to counter it with the Demon Dog of Castle McDuck.
  • In "The Fight for Castle McDuck", the Whiskervilles are referenced as past enemies of Clan McDuck, defeated by one of Scrooge's ancestors.

Webby's Friendship made Lena Real.

So, in the Season finale, It was revealed that Lena was always the corporeal form of Magica's shadow separated from her body. But what's odd about this is that clearly there were two personality in this Lena/shadow: Lena and Magica. But if Lena was "never real," and was always just Magica's shadow, why would this be? Shouldn't there just be Magica, with Lena being a disguise for her? Here's what I propose: That's what it was, in the beginning. When we first meet Lena at the beginning of "Beagle Birthday Massacre," Lena isn't real. There is only Magica, in disguise as Lena, doing a put on to Webby to win her trust and manipulate her. However, as My Little Pony as it is, we do know that Friendship magic is in play. So over the course of the episode, Webby becomes friends with Lena, and this does something very unintended that no one even noticed. In order to become friends, you have to bond with someone. And Webby took Magica's behavior and unconsciously formed an image in her mind of who she thought Lena was. World wise, Mischievous, but with a good heart. When the Friendship formed, the magical bond pushed that image in Webby's mind onto the shadow being and essentially created an autonomous Lena Personality for the Shadow, that Magica now had to share a body with, fundamentally altering the nature of the Lena shadow being. And I don't think Lena or even Magica actually noticed. I think Lena thought she had always been real, and Magica didn't fully understand how the power dynamic had shifted. This explains why lena could turn on Magica in the final episode and survive as Webby's shadow there after.

Della's gone forward in time!

The cosmic storm that Della got caught up in after she stole the Spear of Selene, caused a Time Dilation effect which caused her to go forward in time. Which is about what happens to Della in the Dutch comic where her story is based on. From her perspective, she's been stranded in on the moon for only a few months, while years have passed on Earth. This is why Scrooge couldn't find her and why Selene didn't sense her. Della travelled in time as well as in Space. She simply wasn't there at the time Scrooge was looking for her.

• Jossed in "What Ever Happened To Della Duck?!". She really spent ten entire years on the Moon, and Scrooge's astronauts simply failed to spot her due to a series of unfortunate accidents.

The "Scrooge destroys the steamboat" incident happened in this continuity too.

Instead of Downy's death (who is alive in this continuity), it was his sister Matilda's death that triggered Scrooge's Unstoppable Rage. Yes, this means that Matilda is dead in this continuity.

• Alternatively, it could've been Della.
  • Della's disappearance happened too recently for that.
• Jossed, Matilda is confirmed to be alive in "The Fight for Castle McDuck!"

Only Lena can hear Shadow-Magica speak.

Before regaining her physical form, Magica never interacts with anyone else but Lena. She also speaks really loud despite being in situations where she should be stealthy. But if only Lena can hear her, Magica doesn't need to worry about anyone overhearing her evil monologues.

Rockerduck was a role model for the young Glomgold.

The teaser images at the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con included Glomgold as a child, as well as Rockerduck in an Old West outfit (suggesting that he was a foe of Scrooge in the past). Perhaps Glomgold, as a child, looked up to Rockerduck, or Rockerduck might have even been Glomgold's mentor. Either way, Rockerduck inspired Glomgold to become a Corrupt Corporate Executive and a rival to Scrooge.

• Unlikely. Glomgold created his entire persona to one-up Scrooge, independently from Rockerduck.

Lena looks exactly like Magica DeSpell as a teenager.

Well, she is literally a piece of Magica's own shadow, given life. Magica didn't seem to exactly have time to put thought into figuring out her form before she was sealed inside Scrooge's Dime, so its unlikely that she gave it any conscious thought. So, a smaller piece of Magica's spirit simply became a smaller Magica. Even her personality might be based on what she was like when younger, though Lena eventually started to develop into her own person.

Scrooge will develop a habit of calling Launchpad "lad" or "my boy" over the series.

Scrooge allowing Webby to call him "Uncle Scrooge" and Launchpad calling Scrooge "Mr. McDee" have already crossed over from the 1987 show, and some fans like the idea of Scrooge's terms for Webby and Launchpad recurring. The authors might not want to have Scrooge use Webby's old nickname, given that "my darling Webbigail" might seem too feminine, but there's no reason why they wouldn't want to use Scrooge's old semi-endearment for his pilot.

Gabby McStabberson and Mark Beaks are related.

They look kinda similar. Since Gabby's species has not yet been determined, she could easily qualify for a parrot like Beaks. The last name difference? They could be cousins, or Gabby changed her name to suit her life of crime.

• They could just not know they’re related. After all, Gabby was raised by warrior monks who knew only the language of the blade. It’s likely she doesn’t know any of her relatives.

Mrs. Beakley's husband was murdered by F.O.W.L.

The Mrs. prefix in Beakley's name indicates she, at one point, was married to a Mr. Beakley, and her maiden name might have been something different. In "The Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!", she already introduces herself with the last name "Beakley", indicating that she was already married to a Mr. Beakley at that point. She either became a S.H.U.S.H. agent to get her revenge on F.O.W.L. for murdering her husband, or she was already a spy, and F.O.W.L. tried to make her surrender by murdering him. Sure, it's a bit dark for a kids' show, but the show is already Darker and Edgier than the 1987 series.

• This could partially explain why she took Webby.

Poe DeSpell will have the power to turn into a raven.

In the first series, Poe was trapped in the form of a raven, implied to be caused by Magica botching a curse. In the new series, similar to 80s!Magica sometimes taking the form of a vulture, a raven will be Poe's preferred animal to voluntarily transform into for spying and travelling quickly.

• Jossed. In "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!", Magica accidentally turns Poe into a non-sapient raven, who flies off never to be found again.

Webby is older than the boys in this continuity.

Okay, I know I'm the one who stated that Webby was the youngest of the kids on her character page, but that was before Angones said that she was a year younger than Lena. If that info is meant to be taken at face value, then Lena may be physically 13, Webby would be 12, and the boys would be 11 (given that the triplets are 10 at the start of the show, and the first season passes through Christmas early on - with the episodes being placed in proper production order).

Gyro will gradually become nicer as time progresses

Word of God says that Gyro, much like his inventions, is simply misunderstood. It could appear he's just socially awkward and finds more sympathy with robots and technology - he even seems to treat his inventions like his own children. But as Characterization Marches On he will grow closer to his non-mechanical allies.

• Confirmed. In "Astro B.O.Y.D.!" we learn the Freudian Excuse for his rude behaviour: his first invention, the robot child 2BO, turned into a Killer Robot, which he views as his greatest failure. After he learns that 2BO was reprogrammed by his master Dr. Akita, therefore him turning evil wasn't Gyro's fault, he becomes much friendlier.

Magica is the DeSpells' Black Sheep.

Although an ancient clan of witches and warlocks, the Despell family is similar to The Addams Family: Macabre and prone to accidental destruction, but friendly people (in their own strange way) and a loving family. Magica is the odd duck out for using her powers for large scale evil.

• Jossed, at least for Poe. While he is more sensible and level-headed than Magica, he's no less cruel. The two of them also love each other, and Magica is utterly shattered when Poe turns into a raven.

Scrooge is colorblind

Instead of being a joke, theres a legitimate reason why Scrooge has trouble telling the triplets apart.

• Contradicted by the fact he mistakes Huey for Dewey when Huey's shirt is covered in blue ink.

Rockerduck will have an English accent.

In some material covering his origins, John or his parents hail from England to contrast Scrooge's Scottish roots. This being Rockerduck's first appearance outside of the comics, it would be great if obscure information about such an obscure character were present.

• Jossed, he's a Southerner, with a matching accent.
  • His family might still come from Britain.

John D. Rockerduck is Huey, Dewey and Louie's father.

Rockerduck's role as a younger, friendlier business rival of Scrooge who's treated as more of a joke than a threat is occupied by Mark Beaks in this continuity, which leaves few slots for John to fill. This combination of theories is one way to make new use of him; Scrooge had a rivalry with Rockerduck's ancestor, which was passed down to the latter's descendants. Although John was a regular thorn is Scrooge McDuck's side, John was a tolerable, even nice guy for Donald and Della to strike up an unlikely friendship with, and eventually something more with Della. Plus, some of the triplets' traits can be seen as traits Rockerduck is known for: Huey has John's drive to succeed, Dewey has his love of being in the limelight, and Louie has his appreciation for the finer things in life.

• Since Rockerduck is an old man in the 1930s, it is unlikely he's alive in the present day unless he also has access to some kind of magical life extension method. He could be an ancestor to triplets, but not their father.

Somebody will address Doofus as "Doof"

As a witty reference to another certain Doof of Disney television.

Launchpad really "is" immortal, as Louie suggested

It would explain how he survived serious envenomation in the pilot episode, his surviving crashes, his multiple offscreen girlfriends, and be in line with Scrooge's claim that Louie can see all the angles. As a bonus, Scrooge is already aware (and possibly responsible for) Launchpad's immortality. Launchpad is Obfuscating Stupidity because he's a Nice Guy who's seen a fair share of immortal jerks and wants to avoid becoming like them.

The triplets' father is absent because of a firecracker incident.

Either of the boys' own doing or because he took a job at a firecracker factory belonging to Scrooge and became collateral damage when Glomgold sabotaged it. Glomgold got away with it because, as Donald stated in the pilot, it's hard to keep track of Scrooge's arch-enemies.

• Likely Jossed. According to the events of "The First Adventure!", the firecracker incident happened to Quackmore at the hands of Della and Donald, in place of the triplets' father at their hands.

Scrooge's detectives are going to show up

In the comics after the first time that Scrooge had faced Magica De Spell, he hired two private detectives to spy on Magica and report any suspicious activity to Scrooge. Seeing as how Magica has fled at the end of the season 1 finale, it is most likely that she has fled to her cabin on mount Vesuvius. Making this a good moment for Scrooges detectives to show up.

• Jossed.

The Seven Deadly Sins are represented by some of the characters

• Pride: Scrooge's biggest flaw is this. On multiple occasions, it has nearly cost the lives of himself and his family. He also kept secret the truth of Della Duck's disappearance until his nephews finally got to him, the following conflict between them not being resolved until the season finale. It also comes into play in The Ballad of Duke Baloney!, as co-producer Frank Angones best explains.
• Envy: Glomgold envies everything about Scrooge and is not satisfied with being the second richest duck. His backstory takes it up to eleven - he was born in South Africa but takes on an exaggerated Scottish persona and wears a false beard in order to one-up the world's richest duck.
• Sloth: While Louie is pretty lazy, a much more fatal form of laziness comes from Mark Beaks, who is competent enough to build real technology but would rather fake a product or take credit from other sources, to the point where it nearly costs him his life.
• Greed: Louie's obsession with success and wealth plays a key role in episodes such as Storkules in Duckburg. That being said, Day of the Only Child contrasts him with Doofus Drake, who was corrupted by wealth.
• Lust: Della's lust for adventure leads her to abandon three unhatched children and subsequently ends up being lost in space.
• Gluttony: Characters such as Doofus Drake and Burger Beagle were drastically changed to avoid the Big Eater trope. However, a more abstract version of this comes from Lui Hai, who feasts on luck and fortune. He is initially plump from the good luck of an imprisoned Gladstone Gander. But due to his poor judgement, he later switches to Donald, whose unluckiness brings about his downfall.
• Wrath: Donald Duck is famously known for his Hair-Trigger Temper, and Word of God states that it prevented him from joining the Junior Woodchucks. That being said, Donald's anger is mostly justified. Then there's Penumbra, whose hostility and suspicion towards Della allowed Lunaris to plot an invasion of Earth; she realizes too late that Della never meant her harm and was genuinely trying to be her friend.

"Panchito Pistoles" is a Stage Name.

The only time Panchito is referred to as such when he says "The Three Caballeros opening for Panchito Pistoles", i.e. in the context of a concert. His actual name is Panchito Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero Gonzalez III, which he changed to a shorter, simpler Alliterative Name for his musical career.

What would the harpies try to steal from the characters we did not see?

The harpies are known to steal from anyone what they love and/or value the most. We saw them stealing:

• A Funso toy from a random child.
• The costume's eyes from the Funso mascot.
• The Junior Woodchuck Guidebook from Huey.
• A bag of money from Bigtime Beagle.
• Her officer badge from M'ma Cabrera.
• An ottoman from Johnny.
• The pug from the pug lady.
• A cell phone from Mark Beaks.
• Flintheart Glomgold from himself.
• The library cards from Mrs. Quackfaster.
• A hat from Donald.
• Donald (together with the houseboat) from Storkules.
• The Harp-B-Gone merchandise (which he spent his entire business money on) from Louie.

What would they steal from other characters?

• Scrooge: the #1 Dime.
• Mrs. Beakley: Webby (perhaps they tried to kidnap Webby, but she quickly rescued herself).
• Launchpad: the Darkwing Duck bobblehead.
• Gyro: whatever his latest invention is.
• Webby: The friendship bracelet with Lena (which she is not wearing in this episode).
• Fenton: The Gizmosuit.
• Manny: his head.
• Dewey: The Sphere of Selene (which contains a number of memories of his mother).
• Goldie: Scrooge

Fethry was raised by Prof. Von Drake in this continuity.

Gladstone has a Multiple-Choice Past in the comics, and one of them is that his parents passed away when he was little and he was adopted by Ludwig and his wife Matilda. Fethry doesn't have much of a backstory aside from some snippets of his childhood with Donald and Gladstone, so what if he has his cousin's backstory? Lucky Gladstone was never orphaned, but Fethry (and possibly his sometimes canon brother Abner) lost Eider and Lulubelle and were taken in by Ludwig and Matilda. Fethry certainly acts like someone who had a mad genius for a role model.

Just as the triplets and Webby have one of Scrooge's best aspects they also have one of Della's worst

We know that Huey has Scrooge's mind for research, Dewey has his love of adventures, Louie his cunning and ability to adapt, and Webby his heart and loyalty. What if the four ducklings' worst traits are reflections of Della. We know that when Huey believes he is right it is very hard to convince him otherwise... just like Donald couldn't convince Della not to fly into space. Dewey is reckless, just like his mom. Louie will cut corners and Della wasn't willing to wait for Scrooge to rest the Spear of Selene nor wait for the boys to be born first. And Webby can obsess about things... just like Della did with her need to go into space instead of worrying about her sons.

Generational rhyming

Based in part on coloring and some similarities in characterization, a flashback will reveal that Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby's relationships aren't all that different...from their parents and their cousins's relationships. That back when Scrooge was taking care of Donald and Della, they'd go on wacky and awesome adventures with both Fethry and Gladstone. Fethry wears red and has some nerdage like huey, Donald wears blue and usually powers through situations like Dewey, Gladstone wears green and is greedy and lazy like Louie, and Della...is super adventurous, able to do great physical feats, and physically resembled Webby when she was younger.

• This could be semi-confirmed in "Moonvasion" which has Duck Cousins striking similar poses to Duck kids, with Dewey mentioning that "he's Uncle Donald".

All of Launchpad's ex's are supernatural creatures.

One was a mermaid, and maybe the one in Macaw was a Chinese Youkai.

• He also lists a Viking shield-maiden (possibly a valkyrie), a were-duck, a sentient cloud of gas and a clone of himself among his exes, all of which may be supernatural beings.

Donald is a Transman.

In this continuity, it's clear that Huey, Dewey and Louie are fraternal triplets; we see that they each their own egg. However, according to producer Frank Angones Della and Donald had the same egg , meaning they have to be identical twins. Since identical twins always share their biological sex, it follows that Donald identified as male and surgically transitioned (we briefly see him without clothes in the pilot, so if he had a binder, it would have been visible.)

• Not according to this post; the first post seems to have been misinterpreted.

The Funzo mascot is actually Max Goof.

The Funzo mascot is voiced by Jason Marsden, who voiced him in both Goofy movies and House of Mouse. Goofy does seem to be a hopeless romantic and would settle down before they're really ready, hence Max being older than the triplets, and the mascot job being how he helps pay for college.

• Possibly Jossed. The Funzo Mascot is revealed to be the Phantom Blot. However, in the comics he is a dogface wearing a costume, meaning he could still be Max. It would also explain why Max hasn't been seen yet in things like the season 3 poster.
  • Max being the Phantom Blot would certainly be an interesting plot twist.
  • Jossed again after the reveal that Phantom Blot has been around for a long time and Max is probably a young adult at the oldest.

Magica will turn into a Harmless Villain in her efforts to get revenge on Scrooge

But unlike Glomgold, she'll remain a Laughably Evil Knight of Cerebus.

• How can one be both a Harmless Villain and a Knight of Cerebus? Anyway, after losing her powers following the events of "The Shadow War!", she suffers serious Villain Decay.
  • She gets her powers back in season 3 which ends her Villain Decay.

Rockerduck is a sharpie.

Based on an above guess about Glomgold and Beaks being the resident wealthy villains because Glomgold is a toughy and beaks is a smarty, there's place for a sharpie.

• He's a cunning swindler who cheats towns out of their money. That probably does qualify him as a sharpie.

Rockerduck is a Composite Character with Hogg from the steamboat race story from the comics.

John Rockerduck will take Horseshoe Hogg's place as the one demanding Scrooge to settle the unresolved dispute started by Porker Hogg and Angus "Pothole" McDuck. John wears white as a Shout-Out to another character named Hogg.

Ma Beagle was one of the Beagle Babes.

Back in the days when Grandpappy Beagle was the leader of the Beagle Boys, three of his (grand)daughters, Bouffant, Boom-Boom and Babydoll, formed a trio named the Beagle Babes. After Grandpappy's death, Bouffant Beagle, the oldest Beagle Babe, took over the crime business and changed her name to Ma Beagle.

• Apparently Jossed, in "The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck" she seems to be the only girl among Grandpappy's Beagles, who took over the clan as a child.
  • Alternatively, other adult Beagles hadn't took her seriously and Grandpappy become leader again, leading to above mentioned theory.

Magica is the source of the McDuck-DeSpell blood feud.

She either has or will go back in time to nip the McDuck lineage in the bud by killing Scrooge's ancestor. To do this, she will team up with her ancestor, the first DeSpell matriarch. Scrooge stopped/will stop Magica and return to the present, but due to Stable Time Loop, her actions in the past kick off the centuries of rivalry between the families.

Launchpad and Della will try dating for a while

As "Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!" reveals, Della never knew Launchpad before she got lost, and she's threatened by him now thinking he'll fill her role as a pilot. Hence in classic form, after Launchpad shows just how agreeable and patient he is with her, she'll be touched enough to try dating him for a bit. Which would also serve as a continuation of his "many girlfriends" plot line, and exploring new territory for the show in teasing the possibility of what it means to have a longtime friend become your stepfather.

• Jossed.
  • Is it actually Jossed? - It's alluded that Della and Launchpad are on flying missions together so they could be off-screen dating too.

Scrooge renamed the Cloudslayer to the Sunchaser because he knew the old name would remind him too much of Della.

When Launchpad took over as pilot in the...er, pilot, Scrooge was asked what the name of the plane was. Not wanting to drag sad memories to the surface—especially every time the plane would get up in the future, he made up a new name for it on the spot.

Mark Beaks was a victim of Parental Neglect

Word of God says that Beaks had a complicated home life. This is further fueled in "The Dangerous Chemistry in Gandra Dee!", which briefly implies that Beaks had a sour relationship with his dad. The lack of attention Beaks got from his neglectful, possibly Abusive Parents would cause him to become the Attention Whore he is now.

• Supported by the events in "Louie's Eleven!", where Emma Glamour is revealed to be a distant, neglectful mother to Mark Beaks.

Darkwing Duck and Gimzoduck will have an Unknown Rivalry

DW believes that he is better then Gizmoduck and will try to upstage him every time they meet. Gimzoduck however, who wishes to take a breather from being a superhero now and again, will mistake his upstaging as offering to take over from here. Gizmoduck is eternally grateful for Darkwing Duck.

Morgana McCawber will have an Adaptation Origin Connection to the De Spell family.

We'll lean from her that her mother or grandmother came from a family of magic wielders who were caught up in a blood feud with a Scottish duck clan, but said relative grew tired of the multigenerational fight and left to marry into the McCawber family.

• Jossed, Morgana never appears.
  • This could however apply in upcoming Darkwing Duck reboot.

Honker Muddlefoot's reboot characterization will make Mark Beaks retroactively his Shadow Archetype.

Given the hints at Mark's complicated home life, there may be a point made of how Honker and young Mark are/were both brilliant young minds who suffered Parental Neglect and possibly bullying from a family member for being more brain than brawn. Honker, fortunately, develops a close friendship with Gosalyn and a connection with the Darkwing crime fighting family, providing him with the emotional support he needs. This is something Mark never got, leading him to becoming the Attention Whore Con Artist he is today.

Storkules has a way better relationship with Hera than in classic mythology.

Initially, Hera wanted nothing to due with the baby born from an affair between Zeus and a mortal stork (as guessed in an above theory). However, his dimwitted yet endearing personality eventually won her over. She hates Zeus for cheating on her, but she doesn't hold it against the demigod that came from it.

• "New Gods on the Block!" implies that Storkules's mother is a goddess, most likely Hera herself.

Selene has Somnophilia

She keeps an orb of people sleeping hidden somewhere secret where no one can find it.

Bugmaster is Webby's mother.

Taken from Darkwing's own WMG page and modified for reboot continuity. Bianca Beakley, a news reporter from the 1991 Darkwing Duck series who created a criminal persona called the Bugmaster to create news coverage, may have been the daughter of Bentina Beakley. Given Mrs. Beakley in this show is an ex-SHUSH agent known as Agent 22, she may have distanced herself from her daughter in a misguided attempt to protect her. Unfortunately, Bianca never learns any family values nor develops any love for hers as a result. So when she and Mr. Vanderquack end up producing an egg, Bianca wants nothing to do with motherhood and leaves the family to pursue a solo career as a news reporter. Mr. Vanderquack stuck around long enough to give Webby his own last name before something unfortunate happened to him, and Bentina decided to keep her granddaughter close and teach her how to protect herself, not wanting to repeat history.

• Her signing in Character Catchphrase is Hi! I'm Bianca.
• She would be a Foil to Della Duck. Both abandoned their child(ren) to be raised by their relatives. While Della wasn't thinking when she took the Spear of Selene and got trapped on the moon by accident, Bianca purposely abandoned Webby for entirely selfish gains. Della will call her out if she tries comparing herself to her.
• Bianca will use Webby in a scheme, claiming it to be a long over due Mother/Daughter bonding moment.
• Bianca will dislike Lena and her friendship with Webby. Almost as if she doesn't approve of them being friends.
• Bentina and Bianca fought years ago as Agent 22 and Bugmaster respectively. While 22 couldn't bring herself to harm her daughter, Bugmaster had no restraint and almost killed her mother.
• Likely Jossed by "Let's Get Dangerous!", where Bugmaster is referenced as a fictional villain in the Darkwing Duck Show Within a Show rather than a real person.
• Alternatively, Webby's mother isn't Bugmaster yet. If the two theories that Pepper the Egghead is Webby's mother and that Phantom Blot and Pepper will leave F.O.W.L. by the end of the series are correct, she may at some point of a Darkwing spin-off reboot aquire insect-controlling technology and rebrand herself as the real life version of the fictional supervillain Bugmaster.

The Genie of the Lamp from this series episode "Treasure of the Found Lamp!" is the one from original series episode "Master of the Djinni".

Djinn's ancestor somehow came across the lamp long before Scrooge and Glomgold would set off to find it themselves. Thanks to the major differences in how the Genie was treated between continuities, he ended up the Nice Guy that married his master rather than the Jerkass Genie the main characters of the original series got. After he was freed, the lamp was returned to the cave where it had originally been for Scrooge and Glomgold to find and discover to be empty.

Mrs. Beakley brought Excalibur to McDuck Manor.

Well, she is British...

The Fearsome Four from Darkwing Duck were Boxed Crooks.

They were actually real supervillains who were captured and thrown in jail. Then when Darkwing Duck started production, the crew gave them the chance to get out of jail in exchange for acting as the antagonists in their show. This is why their powers looked so real on screen compared to much of the other lackluster special effects. Unfortunately, after the show was Cut Short unexpectedly, they ultimately returned to the life of crime only to be caught again and sent back to jail. If Negaduck does try to recruit the Fearsome Four, this is probably where we'll meet up with them.

• In lieu of the "Let's Get Dangerous!" teaser, the Fearsome Four were actually banished to another dimension when recaptured, returning only when someone familiar with their fate frees them in the upcoming special.

The Time Tub turned "evil" to avoid a temporal paradox.

In "The Great Dime Chase", Gyro lists the Time Tub among his inventions that turned evil. Perhaps Gyro attempted to travel to a point in time that would have caused a major temporal paradox, so the Tub started disobeying him to avoid the paradox happening.

• Perhaps the temporal paradox that made the Time Tub go evil was Gyro trying to prevent 2BO going evil. Should the Tokyolk Incident end differently, it may lead to a timeline where Gyro never leaves Japan and goes to America to work for McDuck Industries, thus never invents the Time Tub...

NORAD gets constant calls by Scrooge every Christmas... About shooting down Santa

Every Christmas Eve when NORAD activates their NORAD Tracks Santa system, they get constant calls from Scrooge McDuck to shoot him down once for all. He's the only one on their blocked calls list.

The girl trio are thematic counterparts to the triplets.

Webby is the counterpart to Dewey, both being daring and adventurous, which is why they become such close friends in Season 1. Lena is the counterpart to Louie, being cunning, street-smart and the most morally shady of the three. And finally, Violet is the counterpart to Huey, both being smart, knowledgable and nerdy, as well as somewhat skeptical about what they don't have evidence for.

• Possibly supported in "A Nightmare On Killmotor Hill!" for Violet and Huey, and the two appear to hit it off rather well. Shown particularly when Huey expresses delight over Violet's dream realm being the library.

After Darkwing Duck ended, Jim Starling shot in some pornos.

His porn name was Jim Cummings

• ...dude, seriously?

Mrs. Beakley will hook Drake Mallard up with S.H.U.S.H.

Since Launchpad already made Mrs. B a huge fan of the show, it's not much of a stretch for him to go "Hey, Mrs. B! This is my new buddy Drake, he was gonna star in the movie reboot of "Darkwing Duck" but a bunch of stuff happened and he's going to be Darkwing for real instead. Do you have any tips on how to do superheroing?" and Mrs. B being delighted to get him in touch with S.H.U.S.H.

Rockerduck will have a modern day descendant who will become Gizmoduck's Arch-Enemy.

He will recognise Gizmoducks armor from the originals story of how he lost his fortune and become Roller Dollar from the Ultraheroes comics.

• He will also team up with Gizmoduck's other Arch-Enemy Mark Beaks.

The rainbow alpaca tells everyone that meets her they're The Chosen One. She just likes knitting things for people and making them feel special.

Given how well-traveled he is, it's entirely likely Scrooge already knew this about the alpaca. He just kept this little detail to himself when Dewey told him his story to spare the kid's feelings.

Donald and Della were not the first people to use "Aw Phooey".

The first people were Quackmore and Hortense who had it as their catchphrase.

Gyro is the triplets' father.

Admittedly, Della and Gyro have had no on-screen interactions, but even without it it's not hard to see that they were SitcomArchNemeses—Gyro's guide to the rocket has a note that even Della could figure it out, which infuriates her, and his Oxy-Chew only comes in black licorice flavor, which Della hates. Now keep in mind that there was plenty of Belligerent Sexual Tension between Hortense and Quackmore, Della's parents, and given what relationship Donald has with Daisy in other series, there's a very good chance that this runs in the family.

The Big Bad of Season 3 will be a foil to Huey

I've started having feelings that the Arc Villains of each season are Evil Counterparts to the triplet receiving a major arc in that season. So far we've had Dewey & Magica and Louie & Lunaris. Since it's obvious Huey will be the main focus of the next season, naturally he's got to have one of his own that will be the major threat to the characters.

And who do I pick? Taurus Bulba.

• The idea that the Big Bad of Season 3 is a Diabolical Mastermind is confirmed, but it's not Bulba; it's Director Bradford Buzzard. He can be seen as a foil to Huey with both being book-smart characters who are obsessed with rules and order and have an interest in ancient mysteries. However, Huey wants to explore the mysteries, whereas Bradford wants to control them to restrain chaos and bring order to the world.

Taurus Bulba will be a Knight of Cerebus

He might have a bit of dry wit but he'll otherwise be played seriously lacking the silliness or bad luck as most of the other villains.

• This would be very much in line with his original portrayal, where he was hammy but otherwise humorless and threatening.
  • Confirmed.

Gosalyn will have basically the same backstory as her orginal counterpart and connection to Bulba

• More or less confirmed, with the biggest change being that Bulba in this version was Grandpa Waddlemeyer's lab partner, rather than an independent villain trying to steal his invention.

The Bombie curse's original target was Rockerduck.

Rockerduck was a Corrupt Corporate Executive who may have been the richest duck in the world at his time, in the early 1900s. He did pretty much what Scrooge did in the original comic, swindling a native village out of their lands and bragged about it. The witch doctor, to prevent anything like that happening again, created the Bombie to hunt down not just Rockerduck, but the richest person at any point in time.

• In addition, the Bombie could easily be a zombified Jeeves, being the same species with a similar physique. However, the ending of "Moonvasion!" where Jeeves shows up as a different undead being resembling Frankenstein's monster makes this idea very unlikely. However...

The Bombie was created as a replicate of Jeeves.

Going with the above speculation, the witch doctor who got swindled by Rockerduck created the Bombie as a mirror to Rockerduck's valet Jeeves. There was even a Mirror Match between Jeeves and the Bombie at some point.

Little Bulb's debut

In its first appearance, it shows aggressive behavior towards the Board of Directors (shaking its fist and showing a Throat-Slitting Gesture) even before it goes mad. But was this because it was a jerk? Or did it sense something was off about them, making this a Chekhov's Gun... and foreshadowing their being F.O.W.L. High Command?

Taurus Bulba's debut episode will end with him becoming the Steerminator.

Just like in the original Darkwing Duck, Darkwing will rescue Gosalyn from Bulba, and he will, seemingly, die, but as a Wham Shot it will be revealed that he's alive, found by F.O.W.L. and given cybernetic enhancements to compensate for his injuries. It was one of the major hanging plot threads from the original show that never had a pay-off, thus it would be very satisfying to see it continued to some capacity.

• Jossed.

Season 4 additions

• Mickey Mouse- The creators outright said they weren't allowed to use Mickey but the tail end of Season 2 started having references to him (Owlson being from Mouseton, Donald making melons into his head and exactly doing his voice, the freaking Phantom Blot showing up as part of F.O.W.L.) so either the creators got extremely creative with the Exact Words or things have changed so they're starting to set things up for his inclusion. Or they still don't have permission but are working to change that hence him being in Season 4 instead of 3.
• Abner "Whitewater" Duck- Now that four Duck cousins are all reunited, Fethry's big brother is the only one left.
• Granny Duck- One of the most prominent Duck family members that hasn't been seen yet. Her grandchildren (Donald, Della, Gladstone, Fethry) will adore her when she comes to visit as will the kids but Scrooge will dread seeing her because of old business that never got settled.
• Morgana Macawber- If the show is doing a slow burn on Darkwing's development then putting her in later instead of next season would make sense. She'll go the route of the original show where she starts as a villain before becoming a hero because of her love for Darkwing.
• Merlock- An old enemy of Scrooge's that was locked away or banished somehow that returns, possibly because of Magica. He'll be a Knight of Cerebus whose mystical powers make him a dire threat and will fit in because of the fourth season being one focused on magic.
• Dracula Duck- If the Merlock is not on the table then they'll use him instead. Magica will resurrect him and he'll be a Knight of Cerebus looking to Take Over the World because of his arrogance.
• Paperinik- As one of the most well regarded parts of Duck universe lore that is almost unheard of in the states Donald will take on the identity but be renamed or just go by PK.
• Evrons- If they bring in Paperinik then they have to bring in these guys.
  • Jossed, there's no Season 4.

Violet's two dads will be different species from her and from each other.

Word of God says Violet's parents are a gay couple. Neither of those two is her biological father - they presumably adopted her as an egg. As biological barriers (if they exist between the various animal-people) are no longer in play, the two can be radically different species - perhaps one is a dog-person and the other is a bird (but not a sabrewing).

• Alternatively, they may be a penguin and a flamingo.
  • Did you say a penguin and a flamingo?
• Alternatively, they might be a rufous sabrewing (named Rufus Sabrewing) and a raven (named Poe Le Strange)
  • And Rufus Sabrewing's mother (thus Violet's grandmother) would be called Martha Sabrewing.
• Jossed; Violet's dads appear to both be the same species as her, and their names are Ty and Indy (short for Tyrian and Indigo respectively).

Along with retaining his Knight of Cerebus status from the original show, Taurus Bulba will receive Adaptational Intelligence

His image from comic-con depicts him wearing what seems to be a lab coat, so he could probably be posing as a fellow scientist or lab assistant to Professor Waddlemeyer to get at a device the latter is working on before he is killed off.

• His Adaptational Intelligence is Confirmed - he's actually Professor Waddlemeyer's lab partner in this version.

Huey is so nerdy because he is afraid of his own temper

It's established that he have the same anger issues as his uncle. So he developed various interests and self-discipline because he is afraid that he can seriously hurt someone. It's also not that isn't very creative, he is just holding back, because he don't like himself when he actually is...

• Very supported by "The Split Sword of Swanstantine!"

Della as kid/teenager had a crush on Donald

In Last Last Christmas! she seems to be a little... too attached to her brother. In many ways, she acts like an possessive girlfriend than actual sister.

Taurus Bulba will operate in both Duckburg and St. Canard.

His operation in Duckburg will force Darkwing to join forces again with McDuck family.

• His operation in St. Canard may be the reason why Drake Mallard moves there in the first place; Duckburg has Clan McDuck and friends to protect it, whereas St. Canard doesn't have its own Badass Family to look after it. The fact that St. Canard happened to be the setting of the fictional Darkwing Duck show, therefore adding substance to Drake becoming the hero for real, is just a bonus.
  • Jossed. He's McDuck Enterprises scientist working in St. Canard.

Bubba will reappear in the series.

Bubba (And Tootsie by extension.) were both major recurring characters in the original series, it makes no sense to completely throw away a beloved character after only one appearance.

• Most likely it would be a flashback episode, showing his exploits as the Paleolithic McDuck.
• Alternatively, the characters might Time Travel to the Stone Age (or the Cretaceous, in Tootsie's case).
• He could also come back as a clone.

Gyro is a redhead

Going by this post from Word of God. Gyro may have once resembled his original red-haired counterpart before deciding to dye his hair white.

• Or maybe his hair went white from stress or from a haywire experiment.
• "Astro B.O.Y.D." shows him with a similar mop hair to his original red-haired counterpart, but its color is still white.

Bubba and Tootsie will appear in separate.

Both are from different time periods now due to the fact non-avian dinosaurs and early humans lived millions of years apart. The only way for them to meet again is if they face another time anomaly.

Hera and Zeus are divorced.

Hera, upon realizing her going after Zeus's mistresses and bastard children does nothing to stop him, finally divorces him.

The new version of Taurus Bulba will be a Contrasting Sequel Antagonist compared to the original take on the character in Darkwing Duck

The original Taurus Bulba was a well-known and well-feared crime boss whose presence left Gosalyn shaking in her boots with fright, and immediately turned on F.O.W.L. after they brought him back from the dead as a Hollywood Cyborg. In contrast, this new version of Taurus will be an arms dealer who masquerades as a faithful lab assistant to professor Waddlemeyer so he can get at the Waddlemeyer Ramrod and sell it to F.O.W.L. in exchange for membership into their organization.

• Largely confirmed. Except he's not an arms dealer, he's a fellow scientist of Waddlemeyer who takes credit for inventing the Ramrod after Waddlemeyer's disappearance.

Bubba isn't a cave-duck.

The treasure Louie stole suggests that Bubba came after them. The treasure shows this in two ways. One it's craftsmanship which seems to include hardstone carving; due to the presence of the treasures ruby eyes, which didn't exist until the Neolithic period. Two the fact that it's a known lost treasure suggests that there was some sort of ancient written language where it was first recorded in history, which would probably validate it's existence and potentially give Louie a basic time frame from when it was lost. This suggests that Bubba is from the shows equivalent to the Neolithic period at the latest.

The treasure Louie stole from Bubba's time period was of supernatural origin.

Contrary to the above speculation, Bubba is a paleolithic cave-duck. However, even though ducks (and other bird-, dog- and pig-folk) weren't advanced enough to make an idol with gem eyes, there were other sapient beings around, such as gods, demons or aliens, that made the idol.

Doofus's parents were very neglectful before he inherited his fortune

With one of them being the child of a rich duck, they were always out partying while dumping Doofus on his grandmother. This led Doofus to see his grandmother as a Parental Substitute while growing resentful of his parents. Losing his grandmother caused Doofus to snap, and once he inherited her fortune, he used it to get back at his parents.

• His Mom's answer when his Dad asks why Doofus treats him like that ("You know why") suggests this.

Gyro will create gadgets for Darkwing

Not only Drake Mallard will be funded by Scrooge, but Gyro will create gadgets and the thunderquack for him to use on his adventures.

• Appears Jossed. It's Fenton who's making the gadgets.

When Gene was freed in 1990, the events were remarkably similar to DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.

Scrooge went to look for Collie Baba's treasure along with his young relatives, Donald and Della. Little did they know that the native guide they hired was secretly working for the evil sorcerer Merlock. After some Wasteful Wishing by Donald, Della and possibly their cousins Gladstone and Fethry (who were all little children at this point), Merlock seized the lamp and used his wishes to take over the world, only to be defeated by Scrooge. Instead of Freeing the Genie, Scrooge used his last wish to turn back everything the way it was before, meaning that the lamp was returned to Collie Baba's cave and Scrooge and the children forgot about the adventure.

Black Heron will essentially become the reboot Rescue Ranger's Professor Nimnul.

The new continuity has a "no humans" rule, obviously, and who better to fill the rule of Mad Scientist nemesis than the one who created the Rangers in the first place?

• Jossed, given that in the final episode she died.

Mark Beaks is only 19 or 20 years old.

He acts like an annoying teenager because he basically is one. As for how he was able to start such a successful company at such a young age, he might have borrowed money from his mother and/or used her clout to get himself ahead. Presumably his willingness to steal other people's tech and general use of underhanded tactics also played a role.

• Wouldn't it cause problem if people who believe B.O.Y.D. to be his son started wondering how old Mark was when his son was "born"? Assuming he didn't lie about his age. Alternatively, he presented himself as older than he is because he knew investors wouldn't trust a teenager with their money.
• Jossed. the podcast “This Duckburg Life” confirms Mark Beaks as being in his late 20s as of his first appearance.

Mark Beaks' parents are divorced.

Mark Beaks did mention his dad, and we find out his mother is Emma Glamour. Considering Emma's snobbish attitude and places very high standards even towards her own family, there's good reason to believe Mark's parents divorced at some point in his life. There's plenty of hints Mark didn't have a stable family life growing up.

Clown and Capsule, the pig thieves from Astro B.O.Y.D., will return in a later episode.

Possibly working for F.O.W.L. Between their very unique character designs, surprising amount of personality, and the fact that they are named in the closing credits, it seems like they're being set up for a larger role in a later episode, much like Boyd was introduced as a gag half a season before the episode he starred in.

• The duo had a brief cameo in "The Split Sword of Swanstantine" as patrons of a Bad Guy Bar, along with Don Karnage's air pirates and the Smashnikov brothers.

Lena and B.O.Y.D. will become close friends.

Both of them are artificial children created by a villainous character (Magica and Akita, respectively) who wanted to use them for evil purposes, but both of them broke free from their creator and decided to be their own people largely thanks to the Power of Friendship (primarily with Webby and Huey, respectively). Their similar backstories give them something to bond over, despite their very different personalities.

• And their friendship will blossom into something different.

Mark Beaks has a Big Brother Bully.

Based on the guess that compares him to Honker Muddlefoot, Mark also knows what's like being bullied by a big brother. Said brother ended up having to do grunt work for Mark for a living because he'd rather do this than endure their mother's criticisms.

• Word of God mentions Beaks having a more successful Senator sister, which may or may not be established into an episode.
  • Alternatively, in a subversion of said theory, said Senator sister is probably only positive person in Beaks life.

Coach Dad will play a big role in an episode.

He and Mark will mend their relationship and Huey will try to help because the Junior Woodchucks have a medal for it. It could be a factor in a potential Mark Beaks redemption arc.

Jones isn't a particularly successful anger management therapist.

His office is in a crummy part of town, his place of business is so filthy that you can't see the window sign without brushing it away, and his place is so rundown that Donald's previous temper-tantrum hadn't been cleaned up despite the fact he's been gone for quite some time. Plus, he's thuggish-looking and is prone to angry outbursts himself. He is only able to treat super-highly strung people like Donald because he's probably the only person that can understand them himself, but to the average person with anger issues, he comes across as having more issues than them.

The main bears from Talespin.

• 1. Rebecca and Baloo are alive and married.
  • Neither Confirmed nor Jossed. They are no longer running Higher-for-Hire, but their current status is unknown.
• 2. Baloo is dead and will appear as a ghost.
  • Jossed. We don't know whether he's alive or dead, but he does not appear as a ghost.
• 3. Molly's stage name will be Danger Woman.
  • Confirmed!

If Cinnamon Teal appears...

She'll resemble an actual Cinnamon Teal and will be a Noble Demon type villain.

Launchpad will leave Duckburg to fight crime in St. Canard alongside Darkwing Duck

If "Let's Get Dangerous!" happens to be a backdoor pilot to a Darkwing Duck reboot, this is what it will lead up to. Della would be the perfect character to replace him as Scrooge's pilot.

• In the last scene of "Let's Get Dangerous", Launchpad says he'll spend his days in Duckburg, his nights in St. Canard, and will sleep in the car along the way.

Dr. Waddlemeyer was the true founder of Waddle.

It began as a humble startup tech company, which Mark Beaks then took over and turned into the corporate giant it is today. Evidence: 1) Waddle could be short for Waddlemeyer, and 2) Mark always seems to be stealing his ideas from elsewhere.

...Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, but it's still possible. And this is Wild Mass Guessing.

The Buzzards will reveal themselves to be Tragic Villains.

Considering that Magica is a Card-Carrying Villain and Lunaris is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing with no redeeming qualities, the Buzzards will probably have a legitimate reason for hating Scrooge and a genuinely sad Freudian Excuse that made them turn to larceny. They would also love each other more despite their descent to villainy and willing to give up their Evil Plan to save one another.

• Bradford Buzzard is a Contrasting Sequel Antagonist in that he doesn't see himself as a villain, but as an agent of order who fights against the chaos Scrooge's escapades create. No tragic backstory revealed so far.
  • He does have a backstory that he sees as "tragic", but it doesn't justify his crimes and how heinous his acts are at all, and probably never was intended for the audience to have sympathy for him.

Huey will be the next Gizmoduck when he grows up.

He and Fenton have a pretty good relationship, and one where Fenton probably sees great promise in Huey. Plus, Huey has expressed great interest in the Gizmoduck suit for its technological capabilities and for the noble acts of heroism it's used to perform, even offering ideas for upgrades. As Huey gets older, Fenton may come to see him as worthy of taking up his mantle when it's eventually time for him to retire.

Phantom Blot at some point became what he hates.

Based off of his clothes (Assuming it's not just a costume.) and Magica's flashback; in The Phantom And The Sorceress he appears to quite possibly be a few centuries old. Not to mention he has glowing eyes.

Gyro used Launchpad as a guinea pig for his cloning equipment one time.

And then Launchpad and his clone went on a date with each other.

Drake Mallard is still president of the Darkwing Duck Fan Club.

Nowadays, he covers and talks about the activities of the real-life Darkwing Duck (i.e. his own), though he tends to remark on how the old fictional Darkwing was still better.

The Gong of Pixiu has a cooldown time.

Probably something like, say, 24 hours before the number of gong hits resets. After all, it's an artifact that's been around for a very long time, and it's unlikely it never got hit in its entire history before the day the Duck kids found it. The curse trapping Pixiu would only be lifted if the gong is struck three times within the 24-hour timeframe.

The Phantom Blot's true identity is...

• An amnesic and confused Poe de Spell.
  • Jossed.

Gyro will be revealed to be former FOWL or a Double agent

Gyro as a FOWL agent would make sense for why he remained hired on by Scrooge after news of the 2Bo incident happened. Besides he seems like the type who would be involved in spy work since in the comics he was close to Ludwig Von Drake.

• Jossed, Gyro fights against FOWL in the finale.

Webby Vanderquack is actually Daisy's niece, April.

The trailer for the series finale showed May and June, but April is nowhere to be seen. It would be strange to include only two of the three nieces unless there was a very good reason for it. Also remember that the Lost Harp of Mervana called Beakly out on lying to Webby about keeping no more secrets. Finally Frank Angones has stated that there's nothing he can say about Webby's parents that wouldn't be spoilers. It's worth noting that Webby and April were both called Lizzy in the Dutch language prior to the 2017 reboot, which may be what led the writers to come up with this idea.

• CONFIRMED!

Zan Owlson has PSTD from the Bombie incident

Black Heron's origins were not that different from Gandra Dee's.

Like Gandra, Heron started off as a well-meaning child with an interest in super science, and she was ostracized for it. Unlike Gandra, she never found others who believed in her the way Team Science did for Gandra. So, after being treated as a villain for so long, Black Heron decided to embrace it.

Webby is a test tube baby, not an Opposite-Sex Clone.

May and June are explicitly clones of Webby, but no one ever refers to Webby as a clone, not even the villains who created her and would have no concerns about sparing her feelings. Huey immediately uses the term "daughter" when Ludwig inadvertently makes The Reveal, and Ludwig doesn't contradict him. After all, Bradford needed a descendant of Scrooge, not a clone of Scrooge. This would explain why the papyrus recognized Scrooge's biological daughter as his heir but not said daughter's clones. FOWL just used the same technology we use to artificially inseminate people (or birds) and incubated the resulting egg. Yes, because of what this required them to steal from Scrooge, the implications are FAR worse than if they simply needed a random DNA sample for cloning, but would you put it past Bradford?

June and May will have Divergent Character Evolution during the years

They’ll slowly develop to become their own person.

• They already have some established characteristics with June being the most emotional one, while May is Hot-Blooded.

Isabella Finch keeps fanletters on her, especially the one from a young lad named Scrooge McDuck

She'd bring them up everytime her grandson complained about adventuring. With special emphasis on the lad from Glasgow who spent hours cleaning mud off a ditchdigger's boot for an American Dime. That lad was going places.

• This was in part why Bradford targeted Scrooge and his family specifically.

Lena is narcoleptic

The evidence I’m about to dispense is blatantly reaching, but I like my headcanon and I wanna justify it with whatever I could find:

• In “JAW$”, Lena falling asleep during Webby’s lecture was probably partly encouraged by this (as well as her being bored).
• In “The Other Bin”, Webby calling Lena a “snoring angel” may suggest that her spontaneously falling asleep like that happens often.
• In “A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill”, Lena has trouble staying awake and falls asleep instantly due to her narcolepsy.
• Magica has been trying to target Lena through her dreams because she’s familiar with her narcolepsy.
• In “Challenge of the SJW” Lena missed out on following Isabella’s map with Scrooge and the others because she was asleep during that time (edit: the episode doesn’t imply this, it is 100% just my theory).
  • Okay, don't recall Lena being remotely sleepy during the episode. She did seem pretty peppy when cheering Violet on right before the race started. She likely just didn't go with Scrooge and the rest of the main players that were there given she doesn't really participate in globetrotting adventures in general.
  • I didn’t intend to state this as though it’s a fact - this is just my own theory (within a theory). Sorry for the confusion.
• In “How Santa Stole Christmas”, the way in which Lena sleeps compared to Violet suggests that, unlike Violet, Lena just fell asleep spontaneously…because narcolepsy
• In “The Last Adventure”, Lena’s passing out after making the plane invisible was due to her narcolepsy rather than any strain from holding the magic.
• The fact that this much of her scenes involve sleep, dreams, comas and sleepovers should say something.
• You can’t spell “narcolepsy” without “lena”.

Yensid

Yensid is a snow monkey and an ancient sorcerer. He should be long dead, but he achieved immortality, albeit under the condition that he can not leave his sunflower meadow in Nagasaki. In his prime, Yensid defeated Chernabog and his army, and permanently banished them to the shadow realm. In present day, Yensid mentors other sorcerers in his meadow. His former students include Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse and Lena (the last one occurs at some point after the series’ end). Yensid’s magic is grey.

Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

Mickey is Donald’s old roommate who is now a successful actor-turned-director as well as a sorcerer who was trained by Yensid. Oswald is a professional painter and inventor and, like Mickey, he is also a sorcerer who trained under Yensid. Mickey and Oswald are Vitriolic Best Buds, and they have a minor Friendly Rivalry over who the better spellcaster is. Mickey and Oswald often have magical duels to settle their little disputes. Mickey’s magic is dark blue while Oswald’s magic is green.

Huey has Aphantasia

Aphantasia is the inability for a person to use their "mind's eye" to make mental images, which is basically difficulties with imagination. This might be why Huey says he's "Not good at imagination stuff!"

Black Heron is mixed of a Black heron and a Great white heron

Hence why her beak is yellow and not black.

Dewey is on the Aro/Ace spectrum

In "Nightmare on Killmeter Hill!", Dewey meets his possible love interest in his own dream. He has no interesting in whomever it might be, he only remarks that he feels threatened by the concept. This sounds a lot like someone who doesn't remotely care for the concept of romance or sex at all.

• So Dewey is asexual?

Donald Duck's bad luck is a direct result of Gladstone's good luck.

It's outwardly stated that Gladstone's incredible luck is magical in nature. It's possible that, having been raised with Donald, he had someone taken all of Donald's good luck (very likely without anyone knowing) or Donald somehow took all of Gladstone's bad luck. This is why Gladstone's luck is so good that the universe does everything for him while Donald's luck is so bad that it feels like the world is out to get him: its all supernatural. When Liu Hai took Donald, it wasn't just that Liu Hai had no good luck to feed off of, Donald is just a black hole of probability that sucked out all of the good fortune he has been feeding on, hens why just spending five seconds with Donald drained him completely.

Had the show continued, Della and Penumbra would have become an Official Couple.

Word of God is that Penumbra is a lesbian; based on that, her and Della's friendship would have eventually become more, with Della being demisexual (only forming an attraction based on an emotional bond instead of one based on looks or gender) rather than outright gay or bi. She also would have been nervous about revealing this to her family, but when it did come out, everyone would be accepting of her having a girlfriend, the triplets being thrilled that they were getting another mom, while Scrooge merely shrugged and said "Whatever makes you happy" and Donald likewise shrugged and said "Better her than your deadbeat ex-boyfriend" (revealing that the boys' father had ditched her as soon as he found out she was expecting, breaking her heart in the process, which is why Donald himself was their parental substitute instead of their bio-dad).

In How Santa Stole Christmas! Steelbeak and Black Heron organized Grinch-like scheme to stole all presents that Santa had delivered.

To get themselves in Christmas spirit (as they called it) they decided to do a Christmas-themed scheme as a homage to Grinch and steal all presents that Santa delivered all over the world For the Evulz. Said presents turned out to be the ones that Scrooge delivered aka. the ones containing coal, and for extra misfortune on their part Bradford had reprimanded them, using the same techniques from "Double-O-Duck in You Only Crash Twice!".

• This would get noticed by Duck family and Santa, who were surprised that presents delivered by Scrooge disappeared, saying they should thank their "secret Santa helpers".

In this show, not all Wendigos look similar to the one that The Ghost Of Christmas Past turned into.

Since the appearance of Wendigos in original Native American myths tend to vary, it could be said the same applies in this shows 'verse. And so, anthropomorphic deer tend to transform into deer-like depictions of Wendigo popularized by 2001 film, while Christmas Ghost version of Wendigo is the one shown in "Last Christmas"; a Krampus-like creature, due to fact that Krampus is a opposite of jolly, heartwarming holiday like Christmas, so it could make sense for it to be some sort of Superpowered Evil Side for Ghosts of Christmas (including Future).

Pepper is Webby's mom.

This is popular theory in fandom, but in the wake of series finale I decided to write my own version of it. Before or after Mr. Beakley got murdered by F.O.W.L, Mrs. Beakley give birth to her daughter Pepper. Years passed, and Mrs. Beakley was a great parent to young girl who had the same personality as her future daughter, Webby. However when Pepper was around Webby's age and she alongside her mother were in an amusement park, F.O.W.L agents (on Black Heron's orders) kidnapped her when when she got lost in the crowd and later mindwrapped her in order to forget memories of her mother. Bradford noticed this and was furious at Heron - not only this was one of hers Card-Carrying Villain schemes, but also she kidnapped child of one of their enemies, which could lead to their plans being ruined. However, Bradford realized that he could no longer undo what had happened and decided to take advantage of it - he decided to lie to amnesiac girl that her parents got killed by S.H.U.S.H. As years passed, Bradford made Pepper into Egghead so she could have some logical place in F.O.W.L, and when F.O.W.L started working on "Project 87", Heron (after obtaining Scrooge DNA) realized that someone needs to give birth to Scrooge's heir. Naturally, multiple female F.O.W.L agents (at least those that weren't mother's themselves or were planning to become) refused to do it. However, Pepper volunteered. When Heron (clearly confused) asked her why she wants to do it, Pepper answered that "she has a feeling that she needs to do it" or something similar. Bradford noticed this and began to fear that Pepper could regain her memories. Despite this, he allowed it, and Pepper soon give birth to Webby. Meanwhile, after losing Pepper, Mrs. Beakley become more harsh and protective towards her loved ones, which was shown when she was Donald, Della, Gladstone and Fethry nanny when they were kids and were going on their own adventures with their uncle Scrooge. As for the reason why she didn't searched for her daughter is because she believed that F.O.W.L killed Pepper. After Beakley rescued Webby from F.O.W.L base where she was being held, and when Webby started growing up, Mrs. Beakley noticed that she acts a lot like her daughter Pepper. Even though she started suspecting that her daughter is still alive and held captive by F.O.W.L, she refrained herself from these thoughts just in case it turned out that she was wrong. Which was not the case. Nonetheless, if the theory that she is raising her granddaughter is really true, she becomed even more protectice than ever, and forbidden Webby to never leave mansion at any cost. After the events of "The Fight For Castle MCDuck', when Scrooge, triplets and Webby returned to mansion, Webby said to her Granny that "Phantom Blot sidekick was a girl named Pepper and she was a lot like me!", Mrs. Beakley then realized that her daughter has been alive this whole time, forced to serve F.O.W.L. Then you might ask: why Harp of Mervana nodded that Mrs. Beakley isn't Webby's gradma despite this theory proving otherwise? Namely Bradford told Harp to do it, in order to make one of his enemier suffer. As for why he convinced her to do it, he tell her that if she will not do it, he will kill her earlier than the rest of people designated to be killed by Solego Circuit. Even though Harp know she will still die later, she agreed to do it. After the events of finale, Mrs. Beakley and Pepper (who will get her memories back) will have a Big Damn Reunion, with Webby being overjoyed that she, indeed is her Granny's biological grandaughter. Meanwhile, Duckworth will joke that with information that Webby is related to both Beakley and Scrooge, the two should marry (despite the fact he ships his boss with Goldie), resulting in comedic moment where jealous Goldie accuses Beakley for cheating on her "Scroogie", resulting in Scrooge both being shocked and embarrassed.

In relation to above theory of Max being Funzo mascot, this really was his job before he got replaced by Phantom Blot.

The reason for Blot speaking in his voice is because he's using a voice modulator to fool guests into thinking that Max wasn't replaced.

Similar to 1987 series, the 2017 incarnation of Webra Walters is also member of the Beagle Family.

Similar to her '87 counterpart, she also left behind her family criminal lifestyle and becomed a reporter, and few years later her granddaughter was born. Said granddaughter in question being Penny, Beagle Boys niece from original comics. Penny wants to become police officer just like her parents to the horror of her uncles and second gradmother (Ma Beagle), who are still sour that the other member of their family (namely Penny's other grandma, Webra) ditched her criminal legacy to more honest life.

This show version of Witch Hazel is from Chicago.

Just because Looney Tunes also has witch character with the same name and green skin.

Don Karnage name really is Dan.

His full name is Daniel Don Karnage Junior. The reason why he hates being called "Dan" is because its his Embarrassing First Name, and Kit used to tease him with it when they go together to flying school as children.

Santa Claus is Legacy Character.

As mentioned on Artistic License – History trope in How Santa Stole Christmas!, the concept of Santa Claus existed since Middle Ages. It could be possible that in this show, the title of Santa Claus is passed on, similar to "Arthur Christmas". The first Santa, Saint Nicholas, was in Ducktales continuity a brown bear living in Turkey who ended up inspiring other bear with his kindness. This could explain existence of Sinterklaas (the other Christmas figure similar to Santa) as him being a current Santa father. As for why Scrooge never heard of Santa is probably because his own family didn't know of his existence.

Scrooge had gone on adventures with Pillars of Equestria, and later with Celestia and Luna.

Given that it's been established that Scrooge had been to other dimensions, who's gonna say he hadn't been to Equestria, and meet its greatest heroes? He and Rockhoof could had become fast friends due to their Scottish accents and love for fight, and he could fulfill Starswirl absence as a mentor to Royal Sisters. Let's go step further and assume that he was helping Celestia and Luna fight Sombra before the Alicorn Sisters sealed him away with Crystal Empire. After all of this, he unfortunately got Shrouded in Myth as mysterious avian creature (often mistaken by Equestrian historians as Ornithian) that helped the Pillars and Royal Sisters many times in protecting Equestria, and later mysteriously disappeared, just before Luna transformed into Nightmare Moon. However, the stories about him ended up inspiring a certain dark khaki and arylide yellow pegasus filly who decided to become a great adventurer when she grows up.

Ghost of Ponce de Leon is now haunting his now abandoned hotel.

Not only because of the fact that ghosts haunt places where they had died, but also because his hotel is near place where he achieved his "precious youth".

This incarnation of Phantom Blot is an owl.

Due to show having "no humans" policy, Phantom Blot would need to look totally different than his usual comic self. Thus my decision to make him into owl. This choice could also tie into Blot's appearance which invokes that of a medieval executioner given owls have been seen by people as harbingers of disease, death, destruction, and bad luck similar to how Blot wants to bring "death" of all magic. He still keeps his iconic Walt Disney-esque moustache though.
