[[WMG: Darkwing and Launchpad masquerade as a gay couple.]]
Launchpad and Drake Mallard live in a house together, with an adopted daughter. They argue like an old married couple. Drake wears a pink sweater. The neighbors never question why two men middle aged men are living together with an adopted child. (Young men being roommates in an apartment is perfectly normal, but older, in a house, with a kid...?) The Muddlefoots are very kind, non-judging people, who would have no problem with their son befriending a girl who had two daddies, or having gay neighbors. They probably just assume that Drake and Launchpad are gay.

Of course, we know that they're straight (or bi), as both have been attracted to women. But their neighbors don't necessarily know that. (Until they meet Morganna, which must have seemed a bit confusing.) The Muddlefoots just assume they have a gay family living next door.

The early Paperinik was an avenger of himself and a wanted criminal [[TheDreaded feared by the whole Duckburg]] [[UnscrupolousHero who started acting as a superhero because thieves tick him off the wrong way]], and the end of DuckTales would be the right time for Donald to return from his military service furious enough to become Paperinik.\\

\n** More accurately Darkwing is a parody of the archtype both the Shadow and Batman represent. And on an off note, most people are going to understand 'Batman parody' than they are 'Shadow parody'.

** Perhaps he just lost his route back; presumably, if he was caught between universes, a quick trip back 'home' wouldn't be too hard. And while Magica sometimes forgets, it's not like Negaduck hides the fact that her reality isn't his. Still, it'll be interesting to see how this one turns out.




to:

* Sorry. Where Quiverwing Duck changes his name to that, the panel's shown about as close as you're allowed in a Disney comic to [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]. No telling about Darkwarrior; in fact, this one would be somewhat different from the one seen in the show. Plus, honestly, can you imagine a child welfare department standing up to Darkwarrior?

He was a bit of an accident, Scrooge didn't want it being discovered so he discreetly gave a technically small portion of his fortune to care for the kid and compensate. This is why he is able to afford all the gadgets, vehicles, and doesn't seem to have a real job.

When the evil-half Negaduck was galvanized, the energy reaction also created a new dimension, the Negaverse. When Darkwing was returned to normal, Negaduck was reborn here, and the Negaverse formed itself around his warped, twisted ways. When he calls it his personal playground, he's not exaggerating.

This is actually alluded to in the first episode, as DW references the line "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it" from SC'ss theme song. They're both anthropomorphic fowl with a penchant for large hats. After saying "Let's get dangerous", DW downs some Super Sauce offscreen.

He was a sickly, much-abused enforcer for a crime boss who operated an experimental chemical facility on the edge of St. Canard. After he complained about feeling "dehydrated" once too often, the boss had him knocked out and wrapped in a weird, water-absorbent substance that was immediately assimilated into his skin while he was unconscious. Unaware of this, the guy went home and took a shower....

Oswald's Wasteland is said to be where the forgotten Disney characters are now trapped, and this likely applied to the ''Darkwing Duck'' characters between 1996 (when ''DisneyAdventures'' ran its last ''Darkwing'' comic story) and the publication of the new comic, though since Launchpad made a few new appearances in the ''Uncle Scrooge'' comic book, perhaps he was trapped for only a short time (this may also explain why, in the new comic, he and Drake haven't been speaking to each other). Now that they're back, they likely found a way out, but they haven't been able to make it known to the other Disney TV characters.

He only keeps on trying to "kill" Darkwing because he's positive that he'll escape. He could have many reasons for wanting to keep Darkwing alive and in business. (Possibly for the same reason the Joker wants Batman alive; because crime wouldn't be as fun without a hero trying to thwart it. That would explain why Negaduck spends more time in Darkwing's St. Canard than in his own universe's, where he's already won.) This would explain why he never bothered to see if Darkwing Duck lived in the same house or used the same civilian name as Negaduck. He already knows Darkwing Duck is Drake Mallard at 537 Avian Way, but doesn't take advantage of that because exploiting Darkwing's civilian life would be a game-ender.
