5!!Justice Ducks
6When the Fearsome Five formed to take over St. Canard, Darkwing had to put his ego aside (but not before throwing a tantrum about wanting to be the only superhero in the city and being beaten by the Fearsome Five four times) and form a FiveManBand of unique individuals to face them. The team itself only appears in the two parter "Just Us Justice Ducks" but the members make other appearances in the show.

8[[folder:Gizmoduck/Fenton Crackshell]]
9->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HamiltonCamp, Raúl Aldana (Latin Spanish), Creator/PascalRenwick (French)
10[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ducktales_remastered__gizmo_duck.png]]
11
12The high-tech hero of [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Duckburg]] who is Launchpad's old work friend, Fenton, an accountant for [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Scrooge McDuck]]. Darkwing, a HeroWithBadPublicity in St. Canard, is jealous of how Gizmoduck is universally accepted and trusted by the city. In turn, Gizmoduck doesn't like Darkwing's vigilantism. Despite this however, they work well together, when they put the petty stuff aside.
13----
14* TheAce: Fenton Crackshell the person is rarely seen in the show, so all the audience sees is Gizmoduck unintentionally show Darkwing up with St. Canard's admiration of him and his skill as a hero.
15* AffectionateParody: Of Franchise/RoboCop.
16* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Whenever Gizmoduck guest stars, he adds this element to the story. He is a truer, nobler, more all around impressive and famous superhero than Darkwing, apparently upstaging him without even noticing. On the first such occasion, Darkwing suffered the traditional inferiority complex that such a plot calls for, but after that episode disproved Gizmoduck's true superiority conclusively, Darkwing has since never shown any sign of Gizmoduck envy. Even so, during that first episode and every Gizmoduck episode since, Darkwing always resents him, treats him as unwelcome and unnecessary competition, even thinks of him as The Rival, despite Gizmoduck's routinely demonstrated and explicitly stated refusal to consider competitiveness as a motive fit for a true hero. This, if anything, only serves to infuriate Darkwing further, and despite Gizmoduck's repeated requests for mutually beneficial cooperation, he finds himself feuding with Darkwing again and again. It could be said that Darkwing himself is The Rival, and Gizmoduck is The Hero, despite the fact that Darkwing invariably triumphs in the end regardless of whether he agrees to team up with Gizmoduck, and in every episode where Gizmoduck is absent, Darkwing is unquestionably The Hero.
17* BreakTheHaughty: At least once in the show.
18* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: "Blathering blatherskite!"
19* TheCape: An AffectionateParody of this, in the same way Darkwing is an AffectionateParody of TheCowl.
20--> "I am here out of my sense of civic duty! I go where I am needed, no matter how big or how small the crime!"
21* CharacterCatchphrase: Also "Blathering blatherskite!"
22* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His costume basically consists of all his gadgets.
23* DoAnythingRobot: The suit is programed to do anything and use anything within it. From helicopter headgear all the way to giant sponges.
24* HeadbuttingHeroes: He and Darkwing don't get along at all, though this sometimes turns into VitriolicBestBuds when Darkwing gets over his ego and Giz shows off his better nature.
25* TheLancer: Shares this role with Gosalyn when he appears. Any other time, he would be the ideal [[TheHero Hero]], but since it's Darkwing's show...
26* LargeHam:
27-->"This situation calls for the unique gizmo talents of ''GIZMODUCK!''"
28* OldFriend: During one episode, he stays at Darkwing's house briefly because Launchpad knows him from work (implicitly both of them working for Scrooge). Fenton/Gizmoduck proceeds to drive Darkwing crazy.
29* RousingSpeech: Fond of long, rambling, highly hammy and intentionally narmful inspirational speeches [[ShutUpKirk that almost always end with someone getting the better of him.]]
30* SomethingPerson: He is a duck with a lot of gizmos.
31* SuperHero: A long-standing beloved superhero.
32* {{Transplant}}: From ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}''.
33* VocalEvolution: His in-character voice as Gizmo was less booming than it was back on ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}'' and sounded much closer to his natural speaking voice as Fenton.

36[[folder:Morgana [=McCawber=]]]
37->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathSoucie, Danièle Hazan (French)
38[[quoteright:332:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morgana.jpg]]
39
40A sorceress and former CEO of "[=McCawber's=] Mushrooms" who shared a mutual attraction with Darkwing. Initially, she was a criminal, but eventually reforms, becomes Darkwing's girlfriend and earns his trust learning his secret identity. Almost always by her side is her three [[{{Familiar}} familiars]], the bats Eek and Squeak and her grumbling tarantula Archie.
41----
42* AlliterativeName: '''M'''organa '''M'''cCawber
43* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her appearance fits this, she is significantly taller than Darkwing (and most other characters), and more developed than any other female on the show, with white feathers and black hair. She starts out very cool, but vampy, and very elegant. As she develops she becomes less aloof, but remains considerably more mature than Darkwing.
44* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Initially, she was CEO of [=McCawber=]'s Mushrooms and was a straight-up villain, but she eased into the side of good as her love for Darkwing grew.
45%%* DamselInDistress
46* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler: She is forced to use one to defeat Duckthulhu, temporarily rewriting reality in a way that allows him to be beaten. The consequences of using it seem to erase her from existence.]]
47* DarkIsNotEvil: Though she started off evil, she remained dark when she became good.
48* DatingCatwoman: The Catwoman to Darkwing's Batman.
49* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: White feathers (skin) are pretty typical in Duckburg, but Morgana completes the look with her dark, Frankenstein's Bride hair and her penchant for the macabre.
50* {{Expy}}: Her dress is similar in design to that of [[Series/TheAddamsFamily Morticia Addams]] and she is also similar to [[Series/TheMunsters Lily Munster]] for having black hair with a white streak and being part of a MonsterMash family.
51* FemmeFatalons: She had a set when she was villainous and still appeared when she became good, but not as much.
52* FriendlyEnemy: With Darkwing before her reformation, to the point she ends up teaming with him against the other villains in each appearance.
53* HairTriggerTemper: Can go from zero to furious in record time, though some of the things Darkwing says to get her riled up ''are'' pretty bad. Especially when she's stressed out, watch what you say around her if you don't want to get zapped.
54* HeelFaceTurn: In "Ghoul of My Dreams", Morgana's feelings for Darkwing and the treachery of the episode's villain, Nodof, started the turn. By the time the Justice Ducks episodes happened, she was definitely on the side of good.
55* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the comics. She is brought back at the end of ''Dangerous Currency'', which is now considered non-canon. The Joe Books omnibus, however, ends its revision of "Campaign Carnage" with her pets Eek, Squeak, and Archie happily looking at a glowing crystal ball, implying that she is still alive somewhere.]]
56* HotWitch: She is a powerful sorceress and, unlike the rest of the [=McCawber=] family, she is really attractive.
57* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: She has a very thin waist compared to her wide shoulders and large bottom.
58* LadyInRed: She wears red dress which ties in with her dark seductive character.
59* LadyOfBlackMagic: She's elegant and composed, but cross her and she'll turn you into pudding or worse.
60* LethalChef: An odd case. The food she cooks certainly sounds and looks disgusting, but Darkwing is the only one in-universe who even seems to notice. Everyone else ''loves'' it.
61* ALighterShadeOfBlack: In her first two appearances as villain, compared to Nodoff and board of directors for [=McCawber=]'s Mushrooms Unlimited.
62* LoveRedeems: Again, her love of Darkwing was what converted her to a heroic character.
63* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: She's a half-vampire sorceress chef, despite the two seemingly have little to do with each other, plus former executive. Her episodes are as likely to revolve around food as they are the arcane: her first appearance had her - as a villain - trying to corner the pizza market, and her last had her - now a good guy - opening a themed restaurant.
64* NonMammalMammaries: She is a duck, but tell that to her hourglass figure.
65* OneHeadTaller: A good two heads taller than her boyfriend, at least...
66* PerkyGoth: After she formally becomes a good guy.
67* PunnyName: [=McCawber=] is a real name, but it's no coincidence that it sounds a lot like "macabre".
68* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: It took Darkwing's heroics to change her ways.
69* StatuesqueStunner: She's noticeably taller than Darkwing.
70* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Darkwing is two heads shorter than Morgana.
71* {{Tsundere}}: While she's normally quite sweet-natured, she is ''extremely'' dangerous when angered.
72* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Her father is an elderly, green-feathered, hunch-backed vampire. Morgana, as stated before, is a tall, elegant sorceress.
73* TheVamp: Only acted this way in her first appearance, afterwards, she was either a conflicted villain or a hero.
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder:Stegmutt]]
77->'''Voiced by:''' Joey Camen, Creator/JesusBarrero (Latin Spanish), Joelle Guigui (French)
78[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stegmutt.jpg]]
79
80A former duck janitor transformed into a ''Stegosaurus'' by the MadScientist Dr. Fossil. Well meaning and friendly, Stegmutt is also powerful, destructive, gullible and pretty clumsy.
81----
82* AccidentalHero: Stopped Quackerjack's gigantic joke teeth from terrorizing St. Canard's citizens and then smacked the villain away with his tail when he was being snarky to him. All of this was done when Stegmutt wasn't paying attention.
83* AlmightyJanitor: Before his transformation he literally was a janitor. Afterwards, he works as a hot dog vendor.
84* BewareMyStingerTail: Being a ''Stegosaurus''. He sometimes knocks people into a wall with his tail accidentally when he gets too excited.
85* TheBigGuy: Takes this role from Launchpad in the episodes when he's a hero. He's by far the strongest member of the Justice Ducks.
86* CharacterCatchphrase:
87-->"Oh Boy!"\
88"Oops, sorry."
89* CowardlyLion: He's REALLY strong physically, but despite that, he tends to scare pretty easily.
90* DestructiveSavior: He can destroy things just by slightly tapping them.
91* DumbDinos: Stegmutt is good-hearted but, living up to the stereotype of the dinosaur he's become, not too bright.
92* DumbMuscle: More naive than dumb, but he's still a little slow on the uptake. As a ''Stegosaurus'', he has a lot of muscle.
93* GentleGiant: When he's actually being careful and even then, usually around kids.
94* GiantMook: Was one under Dr. Fossil.
95* HeelFaceTurn: Initially, fought for the wrong side, but soon learned that Dr. Fossil was crazy and his plan would ruin the world (for starters, no more chocolate-covered sandwich cookies).
96* HonorBeforeReason: Darkwing, pressed for time to stop Liquadator and Bushroot, bought a hot dog from Stegmutt. He's so determined to give Darkwing his change back, he ends up endangering Darkwing and then tricked into a game of "Put out the Darkwing".
97* IgnorantMinion: Gosalyn and Honker had to tell him that Dr. Fossil was evil, even though he practically did little to hide his true nature.
98* {{Keet}}: The simplest things excite him.
99* TheKlutz: Stegmutt's klutziness mixed with his childlike innocence and big heart makes him this trope.
100* ALizardNamedLiz: A ''Stegosaurus'' named ''Steg''mutt.
101* {{Metamorphosis}}: Stegmutt has shown no signs of changing back into a duck.
102* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Partially, because he wasn't evil, and until Gosalyn and Honker told him otherwise, he didn't think Dr. Fossil was either.
103* MundaneUtility: Uses his tail to open ''soda cans''.
104* SuperStrength: One of the things that makes him both a threat and a liability.
105* ToughArmoredDinosaur: The "tough" aspect comes from being a big, strong ''Stegosaurus'', but he's more of a GentleGiant.

108[[folder:Neptunia]]
109->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Silo, Creator/LuqHamet
110[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neptunia.png]]
111
112Originally a regular fish who was transformed by toxic chemicals, she was angered at St. Canard for polluting the ocean. She initially sought her {{revenge}}, but came to terms with Darkwing, who is helping to keep trash out of the ocean. She controls sea creatures by [[MagicMusic playing a song through a conch shell]] and also wields a trident. She's often seen with her companion, a giant octopus named Hal.
113----
114* AnthropomorphicTransformation: She was originally a regular fish that turned into a humanoid one due to being exposed to toxic chemicals.
115* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Although she has flippers instead of feet.
116* CaptainFishman: Her whole deal, as far as the Justice Ducks are concerned, is her fish-physiology and SuperSwimmingSkills.
117* CuteBruiser: A tiny little fish with tons of power. She even can swim in the Liquidator and force him to spin around.
118* DeadpanSnarker: One of the snarkiest.
119* FishPerson: Not a duck and, unlike Stegmutt, never "used to be".
120* GoodIsNotNice: Not the most sociable around land-dwellers and can be downright nasty when angered, but when innocents are in danger (land-dwellers included) she steps up and takes action.
121* HairTriggerTemper: She is quick to anger, of which Darkwing and Liquidator have felt most of her wrath.
122* HeelFaceTurn: She never really was a villain in the traditional sense and only threatened St. Canard because she was protecting her home. After she and Darkwing worked it out, she became his ally.
123* {{Leitmotif}}: Sultry, heroic saxophone solo.
124* {{Metamorphosis}}: Changed into an anthropomorphic fish woman and cannot change back into a normal fish.
125* TheNapoleon: Look at the other tropes, this does not come as a surprise.
126* PintSizedPowerhouse: Depicted as such in her first appearance, less so in her later ones.
127* ProngsOfPoseidon: She's a marine superbeing who uses a trident as a weapon.
128* ShesAManInJapan : The French dub made her male.
129* SourSupporter: Doesn't exactly like the surface world and isn't interested in being its protector at all, but [[ChangedMyMindKid her good heart makes her come back after seeing she's really needed.]]
130* SpeaksFluentAnimal: With the exception of her right-hand octopus, who has to mime because he doesn't have a mouth.
131* SuperStrength: Once threw Darkwing across half of St. Canard.
132* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Eyelashes, prominent pink lips and pink ridges above her eyes.
133* ToxicWasteCanDoAnything: She was mutated from a regular fish into a humanoid half-fish by a barrel of radioactive waste.
134* WellIntentionedExtremist: During her stint as a villain, given that she was only protecting her home.
135[[/folder]]
136
137!! S.H.U.S.H.
138
139A peacekeeping super-secret organization headed by J. Gander Hooter, trusted with handling international affairs - usually involving their primary foe, F.O.W.L. - that the regular authorities cannot. When S.H.U.S.H. is in need of a more unorthodox solution, they bring in Darkwing Duck. The organization is ''so'' secret that not even its leader knows what "S.H.U.S.H." stands for.
140
141----
142
143[[folder:J. Gander Hooter]]
144->'''Voiced by:''' Danny Mann, Creator/RogerCarel (French)
145[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hooter.jpg]]
146
147[[TheSpymaster The head]] of S.H.U.S.H. who brings Darkwing Duck in on several F.O.W.L. missions.
148----
149* BenevolentBoss: Absent-minded, a bit on the eccentric side, but an effective and fair mission control to Darkwing and the agents of S.H.U.S.H., generous with praise and sternly serious about getting results on protecting the world from F.O.W.L..
150* TheCommissionerGordon: Has a similar relationship the trope namer had with Franchise/{{Batman}}.
151* MissionControl: To Darkwing when he's assigned to S.H.U.S.H. assignments.
152* OnlySaneMan: Probably the most rational character in the entire series.
153* PunnyName: A pun on the name of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.
154* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Aids Darkwing with whatever he needs for his missions and tries to keep him and Gryzlikoff from killing each other.
155[[/folder]]
156
157[[folder:Agent Vladimir Goodenov Gryzlikoff]]
158->'''Voiced by:''' Ron Feinberg, Creator/RichardDarbois (French)
159[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/griz2.jpg]]
160
161The head agent of S.H.U.S.H. who clashes with Darkwing on how to handle F.O.W.L.. He is the antithesis to Darkwing, operating strictly and uncompromisingly by the S.H.U.S.H. handbook.
162----
163* BadassInANiceSuit: He always wears a suit in keeping with his role at S.H.U.S.H. When he goes out into the field, he's a very skilled fighter when the rules aren't holding him back.
164* BotheringByTheBook: His obsession with doing things to code often proves more of a hinderance than a help.
165* CommanderContrarian: He often objects to J. Gander Hooter's relationship with Darkwing Duck, and the latter's involvement with S.H.U.S.H.'s cases, because Darkwing isn't an agent and doesn't follow the S.H.U.S.H. rulebook.
166* GeniusBruiser: He is both an intelligent agent and extremely strong.
167* HeroAntagonist: For a certain degree of "antagonist". While he can't stand Darkwing's reckless methods, he is as dedicated to world peace and stopping F.O.W.L. as any other agent.
168* HuskyRusskie: As the name might suggest, he is Russian, and he is most definitely husky.
169* JerkassHasAPoint: He does have a valid concern about Darkwing's egotism and silliness potentially blowing their cover.
170* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He never gets along with Darkwing Duck, but can work together with him when he needs to and does desire to do good.
171* ALizardNamedLiz: A grizzly bear named Gryzlikoff.
172* {{Malaproper}}: He tends to confuse his words. For example, in the episode "Dirty Money", he says "obstinate course" when he means "obstacle course".
173* NumberTwo: He's J. Gander Hooter's right-hand bear. When Hooter is abducted by F.O.W.L., he also becomes the acting leader of S.H.U.S.H.
174* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Vladimir is ''very'' by-the-book compared to Darkwing.
175* TheRival: To Darkwing on S.H.U.S.H. matters.
176* RussianBear: He's a grizzly bear with a stereotypically Russian name who serves as the Russian S.H.U.S.H. agent.
177* RussianGuySuffersMost: Darkwing's antics frequently result in him being humiliated.
178* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: He is always attempting to prove that Darkwing Duck can't be trusted by S.H.U.S.H..
179* TeethClenchedTeamwork: When he and Darkwing actually manage to set aside their differences and cooperate, they're a surprisingly effective team. It doesn't change their opinions of each other, though.
180* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: When J. Gander Hooter is abducted and Gryzlikoff becomes the acting leader of S.H.U.S.H., he removes Darkwing from the case Hooter gave him until DW can get through the S.H.U.S.H. training regimen. Darkwing successfully completes most of the course, and the final test revolves around him surviving the bullets and missiles Gryzlikoff shoots at him. When Darkwing keeps {{No Sell}}ing increasingly powerful ordinance, Gryzlikoff gets so angry he pulls out a ''cruise missile'' to attack Darkwing.
181* ThatRussianSquatDance: In "Bad Tidings", he does the dance as an attack against a F.O.W.L. agent.
182* YouAreInCommandNow: He becomes the acting leader of S.H.U.S.H. when J. Gander Hooter is kidnapped by F.O.W.L.

188
189A scientist and inventor who is the head of S.H.U.S.H.'s research division. Somewhat absent-minded and slightly sadistic, her ultimate goal is to win the Nobel Prize for her inventions.
190----
191* AbsentMindedProfessor: She is not always focusing on what is important.
192* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has this appearance due to having black hair and white feathers and can also be unnerving because of her lack of concern when her inventions cause problems.
193* GadgeteerGenius: She makes different devices for Darkwing to use on his S.H.U.S.H. missions.
194* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Her usual attire.
195* MadScientist: It is occasionally implied that she isn't all there.
196* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Some of her methods of testing her inventions are rather... reckless, and she's quite willing to use other people as subjects.
197* PunnyName: Cerebellum.

200[[folder:Derek Blunt]]
201->'''Voiced by:''' Peter Renaday (in a British accent), Creator/EdgarGivry (French)
202[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_51899.jpg]]
203
204S.H.U.S.H.'s greatest secret agent, who didn't believe in using gimmicks and gadgets in the line of duty. He appears for the first and only time in the episode "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E48InLikeBlunt In Like Blunt.]]"
205----
206* BerserkButton: Blunt ''hates'' the films that were loosely based off his career, considering them rubbish. It doesn't help their efforts to work together that Darkwing is a big fan of the movies and keeps mentioning them.
207* BigOlEyebrows: Big, bushy, grey eyebrows.
208* DeadpanSnarker: Makes several cutting remarks about how he views Darkwing as being inept when it comes to crime-fighting.
209* {{Expy}}: To Film/JamesBond and [[Film/OurManFlint Derek Flint]].
210* GoodIsNotNice: He's one of S.H.U.S.H.'s best agents and he comes out of retirement to help retrieve a list of agents' names before any of the villains at Sharp's auction have a chance to buy it and wreak havoc with the information. He's also supercilious, endlessly critical, and a loner by choice.
211* GoodOldWays: Derek Blunt never used any fancy gadgets or technologies on his missions. After cooperating with Darkwing, he learns that some of it is quite useful when used alongside intuition and natural skill (While Darkwing, conversely, learns not to rely too heavily on gimmicks).
212* NobleBirdOfPrey: He is an anthropomorphic bald eagle.
213[[/folder]]
214
215!!The Muddlefoots
216
217The neighbors in Drake/Darkwing's OneNeighborNeighborhood and Honker's family. Unlike Honker, they really aren't that bright; otherwise they would have discovered that their neighbor was Darkwing Duck a long time ago. With the exception of Honker, Drake cannot stand them, while Gosalyn and Launchpad don't seem to mind them.

223->Binkie '''Voiced by:''' Susan Tolsky, Danièle Hazan (French)
224
225A loving but oblivious couple who live next door to the Mallards. Herb is a Quackerware (their version of Tupperware) salesman and Binkie's a homemaker. Herb also loves to barbecue and watch his favorite show, ''[[Series/GilligansIsland Pelican's Island]]''. They are very friendly, but also unintentionally intrusive, and they're unaware how much of a brat their oldest son Tank is.
226----
227* AdultsAreUseless: They do absolutely nothing to punish Tank for bullying his brother Honker. In "You Sweat Your Life", Herb even implies that Tank cut off his grandfather's leg when he was a baby, yet he relates the story as if it's completely normal for your child to dismember your father or father-in-law.
228* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: "Twin Beaks" reveals that Binkie has a twin sister named Trudy who, aside from an opposite color scheme and an eye patch, is completely identical to her.
229* BerserkButton: Herb, of all characters, is shown to have one in "The Merchant of Menace" when facing off against evil salesman [[Theatre/DeathOfASalesman Weasel Loman]].
230-->'''Weasel''': "Quackerware's a tenth rate product! It took me to realize its true potential!"\
231'''Herb''': "You can disgrace yourself, and you can disgrace ''me'', Weasel. But when you start messin' with Quackerware, that's it for old Herb Muddlefoot! Come on!"
232* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: They're both pretty kooky.
233* TheDitz: Neither of them are very bright. It's amazing that their youngest son is a genius.
234* DropInCharacter: Both of them, but Herb mostly.
235* HappilyMarried: They're affectionate towards each other.
236* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Herb always wears a Hawaiian shirt even when he's not on a holiday.
237* {{Housewife}}: Binkie spends a lot of time cleaning the house and cooking.
238* HumbleHero: In "The Merchant of Menace" it is discovered Herb has won one "Salesman of the year" and one "Salesman of the decade" and are adored by the costumers, even Darkwing and Launchpad are impressed, but Herb bashfully wave off the compliments as it is nothing as long as his costumers are satisfied.
239* IdiotHoudini: The episode "Inside Binkie's Brain" has Binkie cause trouble throughout all of St. Canard in her attempts to make the city safer and suffer no repercussions for her actions simply because she's too dumb to understand that she's done anything wrong.
240* LetsGetDangerous: Herb in one episode where he shows heretofore unknown sumo skills.
241* NiceGuy: They're an exceedingly friendly pair, even if they are exceedingly oblivious.
242* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: They are extreme caricatures of [[Series/LeaveItToBeaver Ward and June Cleaver.]]
243* ObliviousToHatred: Drake is horrible at hiding the utter contempt he feels for the Muddlefoots, but they still treat him as though he's their best friend.
244* ParentalObliviousness: Their first kid is a brat, but they don't seem to notice.
245* ProperLady: Binkie, who tries to get Gosalyn to act more lady-like as well.
246* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In "The Merchant of Menace" Herb are willing to give Drake a chance as a saleman seeing that he really wants to try, despite the failed attempts.
247* TookALevelInBadass: Binkie Muddlefoot when she hits her head and temporarily becomes "The Canardian Guardian, Champion Of Safety." Though half the things she tried to do to make things safe ended up making things hilariously worse...
248* UglyGuyHotWife: Binkie is a slender and pretty bird woman, while Herb is a fat duck who could qualify as an avian version of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]].
249* WikiWalk: A lot of Herb's conversations function this way.

254[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tank2.jpg]]
255
256A really mean little boy, which is something his parents fail to realize. Honker is his usual target, but he has also been known to make fun of Gosalyn and attack Drake.
257----
258* BigBrotherBully: He's Honker's older brother and loves to torment him.
259* BrattyHalfPint: Despite his size, he still qualifies for this in spades.
260* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He disappeared from the show after the season 1 episode "It's a Wonderful Leaf" before eventually returning in the comics.
261* EvilRedhead: Not a lethally evil, but there's little good to be found with him.
262* FieryRedhead: He has red hair and is often quite bellicose.
263* InSeriesNickname: Everyone mostly refer to him as "Tank".
264* JerkJock: He is tough and mean at the same time.
265* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In "A Brush With Oblivion" he has a surprising PetTheDog moment where he's the only one who sticks up for Honker [[TheCassandra when he's blamed for Splatter Phoenix's crimes]], and even helps him escape from the house after their parents ground him. Then after Honker's gone he immediately proceeds to tattle on him to Herb and Benkie, showing he helped Honker out just so he could get him in further trouble.
266* {{Jerkass}}: Not a nice guy by any stretch.
267* KidsAreCruel: Even when he isn't picking on his brother, he can be quite insensitive.
268* LaserGuidedKarma: He gets what comes to him usually.
269* TooDumbToLive: Some of the characters he's attempted to hassle include Flarg and Bushroot. It doesn't end well for him.
270* TrashTalk: He frequently insults the people he messes with.
271* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: His father implies in "You Sweat Your Life" that he cut off his grandfather's leg with a chainsaw when he was a baby. Granted, it was a wooden leg, but still.

277[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kometguy.jpg]]
278->'''Voiced by:''' William Callaway
279
280A humanoid {{Superhero}} who lives on Mertz, [[EveryoneIsASuper a planet of superheroes]] with only one "ordinary guy" to save. Initially, he was a failure due to his lack of intelligence and his weakness--when hearing a bell ring, he dances uncontrollably until he hears a whistle. Darkwing trains him to turn his weaknesses into strengths and save the day.
281----
282* BiggerOnTheInside: His spaceship-helmet, which could somehow fit both him and Darkwing inside it when they traveled to his home planet.
283* CharacterCatchphrase: Utters a weak "woopsie" whenever he screws up.
284* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's extremely dumb, but he's a huge SuperPowerLottery winner, pretty much the main thing keep him from being ridiculously overpowered is that he's so dumb.
285* DanceBattler: How he ultimately turns his weakness - dancing uncontrollably when he hears a bell ring - into a strength; specifically, he deliberately ''chooses'' to emulate Music/MCHammer and apply the resulting bombastic breakdance-style moves as superhumanly fast dodges and crushing blows. It's actually more precise and effective than his normal combat technique!
286* TheDitz: Not the brightest bulb in the box.
287* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: His ''other'' weaksauce weakness. For him, shaking someone's hand without crushing it is an achievement, and ''not'' ripping a door off its hinges when opening it is a bona-fide miracle. Surprisingly, this flaw ''goes away'' when he finally figures out how to weaponize his dancing, and in that state he becomes perfectly capable of interacting with everyday objects without destroying them.
288* DumbMuscle: He's dim, but he's also really really powerful.
289* EveryoneIsASuper: Mertz itself.
290* EyeBeams: His comet vision can freeze stuff.
291* FlyingBrick: His superpower set.
292* HumanAliens: He and all other inhabitants of Mertz look like humans, which is very odd considering that everyone else on the show is an anthropomorphic animal.
293* InvoluntaryDance: Hearing a bell ringing causes him to start dancing.
294* LanternJawOfJustice: An exaggeration of the trope.
295* PlanetOfHats: Mertz, his homeworld, is a planet of superheroes.
296%%* PowerfulButIncompetent
297* SomethingPerson: Being a superhero, it comes with the territory.
298* SuperStrength: He is very strong, a trait shared many inhabitants of his home planet.
299* TopHeavyGuy: A very triumphant example of this trope. With so much mass in his upper body, it's amazing he can still walk with his small legs.
300* WeaksauceWeakness: The bell thing. One "ding-a-ling!" and he starts uncontrollably strutting and/or pirouetting with ''no'' ability to fly or apply his strength. The only thing that lets him stop is hearing a whistle.

304[[folder:Goose Lee]]
305->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Ito
306[[quoteright:289:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/289px_gooselee.jpg]]
307
308Darkwing's master in Quack Fu, who is at first disappointed at him for not learning the "belly bounce" technique and for using gadgets and weapons to fight with. He was corrupted by money and fame and tried to use a dragon in his plans to take over Kung Pow city. Darkwing stops the dragon in the end using the "belly bounce" and earns his master's respect.
309----
310* {{Acrofatic}}: Quite pudgy, but capable of handsprings and backflips
311* AgonyOfTheFeet: Suffers this when an irate Gosalyn kicks him in the shin.
312* BrokenPedestal: After Darkwing realizes that Goose Lee had gone evil.
313* DidntThinkThisThrough: Goose Lee resurrects the Ancient Dragon of Kung Pow so he can flatten Kung Pow City and build a theme park in its place. Except the dragon turns out to be a toddler and too young to be controlled, creating an even bigger problem.
314* FatalFlaw: {{Greed}}. Goose Lee got rich and famous from marketing Quack Fu to the world, but it corrupted him to the point where he was willing to flatten an entire city and build a theme park on it. It takes the dragon he resurrects refusing to obey him to realize how low he'd sunk.
315* FooFu: Quack Fu, the martial art that Goose Lee mastered and trained Darkwing in.
316* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Started as a face (when he was training Darkwing), got corrupt more recently but still prior to the episode, and turned face again during it.
317* HeelRealization: Has this when the dragon he resurrects begins destroying the city, making him realize how low he'd sunk to achieve the success he wanted.
318* {{Hypocrite}}: Has the nerve to claim Darkwing has 'abandoned the ways of Quack Fu' for using gadgets, despite having turned the martial art into a mass-marketed cash cow for himself. Darkwing neturally calls him out on this, but Lee, who has already been corrupted by money and fame, brushes him off.
319* IceCreamKoan: Goose Lee delivers one or two of these just to {{Troll}} Darkwing. Except for the one when he reveals that he was behind the ninja attacks all along.
320* KarmaHoudini: Played with. Goose Lee never really faces any punishment for his actions and even gets to build Ninja Land after all... although not on top of Kung Pow City. Presumably, his remorse for his actions, his aid in helping the heroes defeat the Dragon of Kung Pow and finally granting Darkwing his black belt helped let him off the hook.
321* MyGreatestFailure: Goose Lee considers Darkwing this for not only failing to earn his black belt, but for relying on gadgets to fight crime. He changes his tune by the end, though, after Darkwing defeats the dragon.
322* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Mainly [[BruceLeeClone Bruce Lee]] (his name) and Pat Morita (his voice, changing from traditional Asian to more American sounding).
323* OldMaster: He trained Darkwing in Quack Fu, although Darkwing never earned his black belt due to failing to master the Belly Bounce.
324* {{Troll}}: Does this to Darkwing multiple times when filming for Lee's Quack Fu training videos.
325* WellDoneSonGuy: To Darkwing, at first. D.W. claims he only really started crimefighting in a vain attempt to win Lee's approval, and is desperate to get that respect by proving his mastery of Quack Fu. Meanwhile, Lee considers D.W. a failure who 'abanded the ways of Quack Fu' by relying on gadgets. In the end, however, seeing his student injured causes Goose Lee to call him "son", finally acknowledging D.W. as something other than a failure.

329->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Cummings
330
331When Darkwing was accidentally zapped by Megavolt's tron splitter, he was separated into purely good and purely evil halves. The good half was nice to a fault. However, after being galvanized via another zap from the tron splitter, he ends up becoming supercharged and able to save the day even with his pacifistic tendencies. Was remerged with [=NegaDuck I=] back into the regular Darkwing.
332----
333* ActualPacifist: Incapable of violence, even in self-defense.
334* BadassPacifist: Despite being so nonviolent he won't even stop on a bug, he manages to simultaneously get out of a deathtrap his dark side put him in and free a trapped Launchpad and Gosalyn. He even knocked [=NegaDuck I=] out by ''complete accident.''
335* ButtMonkey: Due to being identical in appearance to his evil counterpart, combined with his unwillingness to fight back, he ends up taking a lot of abuse at the hands of [=NegaDuck I=]'s victims.
336* GoodIsImpotent: His unwillingness to resort to combat makes him completely ineffective in stopping [=NegaDuck=]'s rampage at first.
337* GoodParents: He does not at all shame Gosalyn for breaking his statue of himself.
338%%* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Post-galvanization.
339* LiteralSplitPersonality: Darkwing's good half.
340* MadeOfGood: He is the personification of all that is good within Darkwing.
341* MistakenForBadass: Upon stepping into a BadGuyBar that [=NegaDuck=] I had just terrorized about a minute ago.
342* NiceGuy: He doesn't bear any hostility, not even to those who attack him when they mistake him for [=NegaDuck=].
343
344!!![=PosiDuck=] post-galvanization, in addition to most of the above:
345* AnAesop: He continuously spouts these off, even when it's falling on deaf ears.
346* BatmanGambit: He manipulates [=NegaDuck=] I's destructive habits in such a way as to ''completely undo all of the destruction caused by him in a single move.''
347* FriendToAllLivingThings: Inverted Negaduck I's WalkingWasteland, he repairs everything he gets near.
348* LightIsGood: He is Darkwing's good half and now has a bright glow around his body.
349* PowerGlows: A ''pink'' aura, no less.
350* RealityWarper: Seems to be capable of freely mending and restoring any sort of damage done to St. Canard.
351* SuperMode: The galvanization significantly boosted [=PosiDuck=]'s abilities.
352* TookALevelInBadass: He's able to "[[ActualPacifist fight]]" the super-charged [=Negaduck=] I to a standstill without even laying so much as a finger on him.
353* WorldHealingWave: His positive energy is able to undo all of [=Negaduck=] I's damage.

356[[folder:Whiffle Boy]]
357[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1716878_wiffleboy.png]]
358
359Star of the fictional [[ShowWithinAShow video game in the series]]. When Darkwing was once trapped inside his video game, he teamed up with Whiffle (controlled by Gosalyn in the real world) to fight his way out.
360----
361* CharacterCatchphrase: "Whiffle, ho!"
362* {{Expy}}: He's clearly based on Franchise/MegaMan. In the comics we later here about an MMO based around him, "[[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft World of Whifflecraft]]."
363* OneHitPointWonder: One successful hit is enough to take him out.
364* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He gets repeatedly killed by his enemy, the Weasel, and once [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally by Darkwing]]. Justified, since he's a video game character.

371A stretchable hero who only shows up in the episode "Mutantcy on the Bouncy". He helps Darkwing defeat Cement Head.
372----
373* AlliterativeName: His real name is Clovis Cluckenhoff.
374* ClearMyName: He ends up at odds with Darkwing because Cement Head framed him for his crimes.
375* MommasBoy: When Darkwing first attempts to arrest him, his first concern is what his mother will think of him getting in trouble with the law.
376* NervousWreck: He's nervous all the time and desperately wanting to prove he's not a bad guy.
377* PunnyName: It is probably no coincidence that he shares his name with a prop commonly used by comedians.
378* RadiationInducedSuperpowers: He was born with his powers because his parents were exposed to radiation at a plastics factory.
379* RubberMan: He can stretch his body into any shape.

388* GoodTwin: To the Fearsome Five members sans Negaduck.
389* PlatonicCoParenting: They all take over as Gosalyn's parental guardians in the Negaverse.
