** In another story he stung Rockerduck with a needle and told him he was now under the effect of a serum that forced obedience, and Rockerduck followed all his orders. [[JustifiedTrope In all fairness, Rockerduck knew such a serum existed]] since ''he'' had commissioned a few doses to Gyro and thought Paperinik had gotten his hands on it (and Paperinik ''had'' gotten his hands on a dose...

This of course is a big contrast to Donald Duck's usual portrayal as LoserProtagonist. The main idea behind his creation was that Donald can get revenge on the people who wronged him in his everyday life.
* AdaptationalBadass: Whenever he suits up as Paperinik, Donald shows competence and skills he barely shows in comics outside of the Paperinik-series.
* AffectionateParody: First of {{ComicBook/Diabolik}} and other costumed {{Villain Protagonist}}s, later on the superhero genre as a whole.
* BadassNormal: He has no superpowers or special training, but everythere and -when he doesn't rely on the gadgets and goes into a fistfight with gangsters - and usually wins.
* BatmanParody: Originally designed after Diabolik, nowadays he draws more similarities to [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} the Masked Crusader]] from DC.
* BornUnlucky: Suprisingly {{Averted|Trope}}, as Paperinik lacks the natural unluckyness Donald faces usually.
* BreakoutCharacter: He's a very big character in European countries and as well-known as Donald himself, with many, many comics with him are produced. In some countries he rivals Donald's civilian identity if it comes to appearing on covers of Disney comic collections.
* TheCape: A classic superhero with a great reputation, being seen as a hero by almost everyone in the city.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Originally a VillainProtagonist who only rights the wrongs did to him, he would go on to become a full-blown superhero.
* TheDreaded: DependingOnTheWriter, the underworld is very frightened by only his signal. Some crooks turn themselves willingly in to the police to avoid conflict with him.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Modern readers would be surprised that in his first few appearances, Paperinik Was far from being a heroic person, suiting up sometimes for just selfish and petty reasons, humiliating his victims like Scrooge and Gladstone.
* {{Flandarization}}: Originally a secret identity for Donald so that he could win about his opponents (as Donald usually was depicted as LoserProtagonist in Italian comics at the time), he soon developed into a hypercompetent superhero.
* FriendlyEnemy: Again DependingOnTheWriter he's often very nice to his opponents and will occasionally have chats with them.
* FriendOfAllChildren: He's extra nice around children and always has a good stand with them.
* HatesMySecretIdentity: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, but both Scrooge and Gladstone (occassionally even Daisy and Huey, Dewey and Louie) have an extremly higher opinion on Paperinik than they have on Donald. Gladstone even considers Paperinik his friend sometimes, while he often bullies his cousin.
* LegacyCharacter: Get the idea of becoming a Masked Avenger by finding the diary of former GentlemanThief Fantomius, designing and seeing himself as the latter's successor.
* PoliceIsUseless: To the point the police itself agrees and is happy to let Paperinik do their work.
* {{Revenge}}: His original motive was to punish Scrooge and Gladstone for whst they do to Donald.
* SecretIdentity: Donald Duck.
* SecretKeeper: Gyro Gearloose, who provides him with his gadgets, is this in some stories for Paperinik.
