History Characters / DisneyDucksComicUniverseAntagonists

* WorthyOpponent: Considers Scrooge worthy or respect in opposition, and the feeling seems to be mutual as of his second story.

* AlwaysSecondBest: Much like Glomgold, he's mostly portrayed as "second-richest duck in the world" behind Scrooge. Many Italian stories see Rockerduck challenging Scrooge in a random business field, trying to proof he's the best business man in Duckburgh. While he almost always shows incredible skills and ambition, in the end Scrooge always has the upper hand, making Rockerduck the ultimate Number Two.

* EpicFail: Arguably the biggest flop the group has ever experienced was when they attempted to break into the Money Bin after hours, and ended up getting stuck or trapped in various places. The Beagle Boys were defeated by an ''empty building''.

** In "Magica and the Seven Volcanic Witches" she has to deal with the titular witches, who live near volcanoes and draw power from them (especially the one they live close to), but at no point she makes a claim to the title and when talking to one of them about the others she always refers to them as "''your'' sisters". Near the end she reveals it's because [[JustifiedTrope she's not a Volcanic Witch]] but an ''Oceanic'' one (that draw power from the sea), and that she lives on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius because a volcano is convenient for her goals and that one is close to the sea.

* EvilerThanThou: Whenever he's paired up with other regular villains (like John D. Rockerduck or the Beagle Boys), chances are they either end up terrified or [[EvenEvilHasStandards disgusted]], and him having the bragging rights. Reversed in ''Ducktales'', several team ups ended up with Glomgold getting double crossed and forced into an EnemyMine with Scrooge.

* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, Glomgold wasn't especially dishonest--he was basically a MirrorCharacter to scrooge. The second story had him attempt to sabotage Scrooge's fortune in order to win a competition, but he was shown stricken with guilt at "betraying my dear old mother's fondest hopes" and "becoming a scoundrel- all to win the title of world's richest duck!" (at least until he was offered another chance to sabotage Scrooge, which he readily accepts) It was in his third appearance that he became the bad guy he is known as today, attempting to murder Scrooge and his nephews multiple times.

! Half-villains

[[folder: Attorney C.Atch]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20200426_201511_1.jpg]]
->'''Debut:''' ''"Paperinik e l'invasione mascherata"'', 2003

An attorney with a strong jealousy towards Duck Avenger. He later reappears as the Beagle Boys' counsel.

* AmoralAttorney: Very egotistical and eager to avoid the consequences of his actions.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Sort of. His false superhero persona costume he created to avoid paying the fines obviously didn't give him any powers but still allowed him not to pay. (Cuz "Duck Avenger doesn't pay and the law is equal for everyone")
* GreenEyedMonster: He was mad because Duck Avenger didn't have to pay any fines and he had to.

[[folder: Neighbor J. Jones]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jones_5152.jpg]]
->'''Debut:''' ''"Good Neighbors"'', 1943

Donald's next door neighbor. He and Donald have a heated rivalry that comes close to being a full-fledged war, with the yard between their houses as the battlefield.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Thanks to Chuck McCann who voices Bouncer Beagle and Burger Beagle.

* FriendlyEnemy: Despite them being outright criminals they often show real affection towards Scrooge and his family, [[EnemyMine often going to help them against bigger threads]]. They seem to be no real ill will between Duck family and Beagle Boys.

* NumericalThemeNaming: Each serial number is a permutation of 167-167, with 176-XXX given preference. If a Beagle cousin has a different number, it might be a numerical pun - for instance 176-[[Film/JamesBond 007 for a spy cousin]], 176-[=B00M=] for a demolition man or the BornUnlucky "Omen" [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 1313]]. The Beagle Brats had numbers 1, 2, and 3.

* FatBastard: They are a chubby bunch.

A slimy loanshark and crimeboss, and Scrooge's greatest rival in his youth. He first appears in the Carl Barks story ''North of The Yukon'', trying to scam Scrooge out of his fortune with the I.O.U that Scrooge signed for a loan in 1898, and appears several more times, usually in flashbacks to the gold rush days, but also as the villain of ''Back to Klondike'' by Don Rosa.

* StarterVillain: While Scrooge had already faced the Beagle Boys, the Whiskervilles and (unbeknownst to him) Flint-Heart Glomgold, Soapy was the first villain who could have been called Scrooge's ArchEnemy.

** In one Rosa story, ''ComicBook/BeagleBoysVsTheMoneyBin'' , a Beagle thinks about how he ''doesn't know his own name'', as he's had his prisoner number since he was a child, and when he asked his mother, she wouldn't tell him unless he bribed her. In the same story, Blackheart realizes he's forgotten the names of his own sons, the fathers of the modern Beagles, and only remembers their prison numbers.

* NoNameGiven: In the comics. Often [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the Creator/DonRosa stories. In the cartoons [[MeaningfulName they all have names that indicate their personality quirks: Burger Beagle is always hungry, Bigtime Beagle is a leader, etc.]]

%%* InformedSpecies

** In Spain, they are known as "Los Golfos Apandadores" ("the Crooked Thugs") and in Latin America they are called "Los Chicos Malos" ("the Bad Boys").

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Always Identical ''Siblings'' actually, but still, they look identical to each other and can just be told apart by their prison numbers they're wearing. Even {{lampshaded}} in a story by Creator/DonRosa where the Beagle Boy mock the triplets Huey, Dewey and Louie for looking identical while the art highlights their own identicalness.

%%* TheOneWhoWearsShoes

* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: The [=McViper=] Gang consists of three brothers as per "The Richest Duck in the World". Only Copperhead is named. There's also an earlier generation of criminal [=McVipers=] in Montana in "The Buckaroo of the Badlands", which consists of the brothers Snake Eyes and Haggis. One of them supposedly is the father of the Goldopolis gang. They're [[TheRustler rustlers]]. Of unknown relation is Snake [=McViper=], a pig instead of a dogface but a rustler, in "The Cattle King!". If he's part of the family, he's likely of the third generation.

* AlwaysSecondBest: Much like Glomgold, he's mostly portrayed as "second-richest duck in the world" behind Scrooge. Many Italian stories see Rockerduck challenging Scrooge in a random business field, trying to proof he's the best Business man in Duckburgh. While he almost always shows incredible skills and Ambition, in the end Scrooge always has the upper hand, making Rockerduck the ultimate Number Two.

* {{Flanderization}}: They started of as very competent criminals and {{WorthyOpponent}}s for Scrooge whose plans just failed because Scrooge was even better than them and he and his family failed their plans. Over time they became more and more incompetent with some stories featuring them as protagonists showing they fail at any possible crime and are rather stupid. Now, when they have some brilliant plans it is more played as a NotSoHarmlessVillain-moment rather than typical for them.
