| 9 | [[folder:Professor Moliarty]] |
| 10 | ->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/JimCummings1952 Jim Cummings]] |
| 11 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moliarty.jpg]] |
| 12 | |
| 13 | A GadgeteerGenius mole who lives underground. With his mole army, he tries to usurp the surface world from the surface dwellers and make it inhabitable for moles (like permanently blocking out the sun). |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * AdvertisedExtra: He prominently appears in the show's intro as well as merchandise, yet he only appears in three episodes total in the entire series, and isn't even the main villain in one of them. |
| 16 | * BeneathTheEarth: Well, he is a mole. |
| 17 | * EvilGenius: His crimes usually involve some sort of invention he made. |
| 18 | * {{Expy}}: Of the ComicBook/FantasticFour villain the Mole Man, but as an anthropomorphic mole; and named after Professor Moriarty, rival to the detective Literature/SherlockHolmes. |
| 19 | * GadgeteerGenius: He creates at least one invention for every single evil plan. |
| 20 | * InsufferableGenius: ''Constantly'' talks about how much of a genius he is. |
| 21 | --> "Behold, the genius of Moliarty... it's amazing my brilliance doesn't blind people!" |
| 22 | * JustBetweenYouAndMe: To Darkwing, much to his chagrin. |
| 23 | * MacGyvering: Often invents stuff from whatever he can find. |
| 24 | * TheNapoleon: As a mole he is very short, but clearly has big ambitions considering he wants to conquer the surface world. |

| 27 | [[folder:Tuskernini & The Penguins]] |
| 28 | !! Arturo Tuskernini |
| 29 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Kenneth Mars |
| 30 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/099tusk.png]] |
| 31 | |
| 32 | A film director turned criminal uses his directing background as a gimmick for his crimes. He also has three penguin assistants to aid him. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * AffablyEvil: He is rather polite for a criminal. |
| 35 | * {{Expy}}: His name evokes [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Toscanini Toscanini]], the famous musical conductor. |
| 36 | * FalselyReformedVillain: In "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlatan" and "Adopt-a-Con", he pretends to change his ways in an attempt to shake off Darkwing's suspicions. |
| 37 | * FatBastard: Being a walrus, him being fat comes with the territory. |
| 38 | * {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Movie-themed villainy, which he's the "director". |
| 39 | * LargeHam: Darkwing even calls him a ham, and then attempts to prove it to a court of law. |
| 40 | * PaperThinDisguise: Often uses these, one of his schemes revolved around dressing up as other villains to fool everyone into thinking he wasn't committing crimes, which of course works. |
| 41 | * PrimaDonnaDirector: Often takes this persona. |
| 42 | * UnlimitedWardrobe: Has many costumes for his various roles. |
| 43 | * WilyWalrus: A supervillain walrus. |
| 44 | |

| 46 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown |
| 47 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dw_penguins.png]] |
| 48 | |
| 49 | The trio of penguins who act as Tuskernini's sidekicks. Usually act as gofers, cameramen, or other menial labor at their boss's request. |
| 50 | ---- |
| 51 | * {{Hypercompetent Sidekick}}s: So much so that one episode had Tuskernini require gestures from them to get the idea to tell the court that he was framed for crimes he committed. |
| 52 | * NoNameGiven: Aside from Tuskernini addressing one of them as "Cecil" in "A Duck by Any Other Name", none of them are given a name of any sort. |
| 53 | * TheVoiceless: In certain episodes they can make sound effects or quacking noises, but they stay silent most of the time. |
| 54 | [[/folder]] |
| 55 | |
| 56 | !!Other Minor Villains |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Villains who have only appeared once or twice in the show or appeared in other media. |
| 59 | ---- |
| 60 | |
| 61 | [[folder:The Ancient Dragon of Kung Pow]] |
| 62 | An ancient, mystical dragon that had taken on the form of a stone statue. Goose Lee sought to bring it back to life in order to clear out Kung Pow City and build Ninja Land on top of it... except the dragon turned out to be a baby and only interested in playing. |
| 63 | ---- |
| 64 | * BreathWeapon: Breathes fire as per classical dragon mythology. Darkwing's first attempt to fight it leads to him being turned to ash. |
| 65 | * DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: A giant, two-thousand year old baby dragon who just wants to play and has no concept of how strong it is. This inevitably leads to a lot of destruction. |
| 66 | * EvilIsNotAToy: While 'evil' is a stretch, since the dragon is an innocent toddler, the dragon quickly gets annoyed with Goose Lee trying to order it about and shakes him off. |
| 67 | * {{Kaiju}}: As a shout-out to the Eastern monster movie genre, it fulfils this role. |
| 68 | * ObliviouslyEvil: As it's actually just a toddler, it only destroys the city because it wants to play. In the end, it gets what it wants by becoming an attraction at Ninja Land. |
| 69 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: While clearly meant to be a Chinese dragon, it has some differences. It has only one horn instead of two antlers, a webbed fin in place of a mane and a black head of hair. Also, it's a baby. |
| 70 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The Dragon of Kung Pow is stated by Duck Ling to be two thousand years old despite being a baby. Gosalyn reasons that, for a dragon, that ''is'' a baby. |
| 71 | * SealedEvilInACan: An ancient dragon sealed away in a statue that can only be awoken again when its horn is placed back onto its head. Subverted in that the dragon isn't evil - its only a baby and is too young to understand how destructive it's being. |
| 72 | * TailSlap: Uses this against Darkwing when he "overdoes the terror thing" and frightens it. |
| 73 | [[/folder]] |
| 74 | |
| 75 | [[folder:Beelzebub]] |
| 76 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Marty Ingels |
| 77 | [[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dead_duck___darkwing_beelzebub_and_pete.jpg]] |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Lucifer. {{Satan}}. Basically, the devil. Darkwing encountered him in the episode ''Dead Duck'' (Where Darking winds up [[spoiler:dreaming he's]] in Hell), and again as the villain of "Hot Spells". In both episodes, he wants to claim Darkwing's soul, though only takes an actively villainous role in the latter. |
| 80 | ---- |
| 81 | * AlmightyJanitor: Disguises himself as one to trick Gosalyn into using a cursed spell. |
| 82 | * TheDevilIsALoser: Is portrayed as being rather whiny and easily frustrated in Dead Duck, and gets a rather humiliating defeat in Hot Spells. |
| 83 | * ExitPursuedByABear: Even after literally raising Hell, he winds up being chased back down into it by a monster. In this case, though, [[AbhorrentAdmirer the monster isn't trying to hurt the victim]]. |
| 84 | * OrWasItADream: [[spoiler:After the events of Dead Duck are revealed to all have just been a dream, he nevertheless appears again right at the end of the episode to spook Darkwing. Whether it was real or not, he appears for real in Hot Spells.]] |
| 85 | * {{Satan}}: Has pretty much every aspect of the character, from the red skin and horns to making deals with people in exchange for souls. |

| 88 | [[folder:The Brainteasers (Flarg, Barada, Nikto & Talaya)]] |

| 91 | ->Nikto '''Voiced by:''' Richard Karron |
| 92 | ->Talaya '''Voiced by:''' Susan Tolsky |
| 93 | [[quoteright:296:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brainteasers_1.png]] |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Hat-shaped aliens that can take over a lifeform's body when placed on top of their head. Led by Flarg the Grand High Potentate of a thousand planets in the Delphonic Nebula. Flarg, Barada & Nikto appear twice in the series with Talaya appearing on their second appearance. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * BigEater: Nikto constantly eats metal. This often leads to the undoing of his allies. |
| 98 | * BodySnatcher: They can control the bodies of people by attaching themselves to their heads. |
| 99 | * BodySurf: By resting on people's heads like hats, they can control them. |
| 100 | * DarkMistress: Talaya is clearly in love with Flarg. |
| 101 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Flarg and the others took over the bodies of cats and dogs. When he ordered Barada to take over Honker's body, Barada's host, a dog, was free of mind control and [[OhCrap started chasing Flarg whose host was a cat]]. |
| 102 | * TheDitz: Nikto isn't very competent, smart or savvy. Appropriately enough, he takes over Launchpad both times. |
| 103 | * DoNotAdjustYourSet: Flarg hijacks all TV stations to deliver his ultimatum to the world. |
| 104 | * TheDragon: Barada serves as the second-in-command. |
| 105 | * EvilBrit: They all speak with British accents for some reason. |
| 106 | * EvilLaugh: Flarg and Talaya are very good at their maniacal laugh. |
| 107 | * FrameUp: Flarg plans to cause mass destruction on various star systems and put all the blame on Honker. |
| 108 | * GalacticConqueror: Flarg wishes to conquer Earth. |
| 109 | * HypnoticEyes: They can all seem to do this and can stun(long enough to hop a head) or even render people and animals unconscious. |
| 110 | * PlanetOfHats: Literally, as in everyone on their planet is an alien that resembles a hat. |
| 111 | * PuppeteerParasite: They are able to control people after latching onto their heads. |
| 112 | * {{Revenge}}: In his second appearance, his plan for galactic domination include getting revenge on Honker by [[FrameUp framing him]]. |
| 113 | * TakeOverTheWorld: Flarg was initially interested in leaving the Earth. When he found out this planet has nuclear missiles, he decided to take over the world and add it to his empire. |
| 114 | * UnholyMatrimony: Flarg and Talaya, once they conquer the galaxy. |
| 115 | * UnwittingPawn: Nikto is easily fooled by everyone's tricks because of his lack of intelligence and absence of savviness. |
| 116 | * WeaksauceWeakness: |
| 117 | ** Pepper easily causes them to sneeze, which in turn will force them to lose control of their hosts. |
| 118 | ** As revealed in their second appearance anything that keeps them from properly sticking to someone's head, such as hair gel, keeps them from being unable to take someone over. Gosalyn uses this to her advantage to protect herself, Honker, and eventually Darkwing from being taken over by them again. |

| 121 | [[folder:The Bugmaster/Bianca Beakley]] |
| 122 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AprilWinchell |
| 123 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap_00093.png]] |
| 124 | |
| 125 | A famous news reporter who wanted higher ratings, so she created her criminal persona "The Bugmaster" to create her own personal crime wave so she could reap the rewards of having the highest rated news show in St. Canard, covering her battles with Darkwing. She learned rather quickly that EvilPaysBetter and decided to become a true criminal. |
| 126 | ---- |
| 127 | * AlliterativeName: Her first and last name both begin with B. |
| 128 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Bugs, obviously. |
| 129 | * DarkActionGirl: She does not skimp on fighting and is a villain. |
| 130 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has black hair and she is covered with white feathers as well as being a very sinister villain. |
| 131 | * EvilPaysBetter: She turned to crime because she believed being a villain would give her better publicity. |
| 132 | * ImmoralJournalist: She starts out as a bad-tempered anchor who yells at her crew and steals their ideas. She escalates to supervillainy to boost ratings and decides to stick with it because EvilPaysBetter. |
| 133 | * ItsAllAboutMe: She became a villain to feed her ego. |
| 134 | * TheVamp: She acts seductive and tries to manipulate Darkwing into losing. |
| 135 | [[/folder]] |
| 136 | |
| 137 | [[folder:Camille Chameleon]] |
| 138 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jennifer Darling |
| 139 | |
| 140 | A shape-shifting criminal, half-duck and half-chameleon, who can take on any shape, size and identity. Camille plans to make herself unspeakably wealthy via money forgery, firstly by stealing $100 printing plates and then by impersonating the millionaire owner of a newspaper chain to get at the printing presses there. |
| 141 | ---- |
| 142 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: A supervillain named Camille '''Chameleon''' with shapeshifting powers. |
| 143 | * CounterfeitCash: Camille's EvilPlan was to use stolen $100 plates to become rich by making all the money she wanted. Unfortunately, due to working out of a cave, she had inferior ink and a makeshift printing press. She solved this problem by impersonating the wealthy owner of a newspaper chain, allowing her access to the printing presses. |
| 144 | * FreudianExcuse: She was much prettier in high school, but her fascination with reptiles leads to her being mocked by her peers, which leads to her StartOfDarkness. {{Lampshaded}} by Darkwing: |
| 145 | -->'''Camille:''' I didn't always look like this. In high school I was a beautiful girl, but... I wasn't popular. |
| 146 | -->'''Darkwing:''' Oh boy, this is it, the "How I became a villain" story. |
| 147 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Half-''duck'' hybrid, anyway. The other half is chameleon, which grants her shapeshifting powers, a lizard-like tail, a hissing voice and yellow eyes. |
| 148 | * HollywoodChameleons: Camille's shapeshifting is based on the pop culture idea of chameleons being able to "blend in anywhere". |
| 149 | * LogicalWeakness: Being half chameleon, Camille is incredibly sensitive to temperature changes. Honker exploits this by turning up the heating in the building - the increased warmth speeds up Camille's metabolic rate, causing her to lose control of her powers. |
| 150 | * MorphicResonance: No matter which form Camille takes, she always has her yellow eyes and hissing speech impediment. |
| 151 | * ShapeshifterSwanSong: Gets a spectacular one when Honker realizes that chameleons are very sensitive to temperature changes, transforming into every shape she'd taken on during the episode, until eventually becoming trapped in the form of a small lizard. |
| 152 | * SssnakeTalk: Has a heavy lisp that sounds very much like lizard-like hissing, which she keeps even when transformed. It's hearing this that makes Gosalyn realize she's leading Darkwing and Launchpad into a trap. |
| 153 | * VoluntaryShapeShifting: Camille's gimmick is her ability to transform into anything - mops, chairs, giant bruisers, innocent little girls. Becomes much ''less'' voluntary when exposed to high levels of heat. |

| 156 | [[folder:Cement Head]] |
| 157 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jesse Corti |
| 158 | [[quoteright:236:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cement_head.jpg]] |
| 159 | |
| 160 | A mutant made entirely of cement, and also a crime lord. He took up an identity of Swenlin Swine to avoid attention, and tried to frame Rubber Chicken for trying to stop his crimes. |
| 161 | ---- |
| 162 | * CharacterCatchphrase: He tends to flatter people, always followed by "I ever tell you that?", even on first encounter. |
| 163 | * FreudianExcuse: He turned to crime because his parents disowned him for being born a cement mutant. |
| 164 | * TheJuggernaut: Being made of cement, he is very strong and formidable. |
| 165 | * LatexPerfection: His disguise as Swenlin Swine has him wear a realistic mask of an ordinary pig. |
| 166 | * LivingStatue: Pretty much unavoidable since he is made of cement. |
| 167 | * MadeOfIron: Or cement. |
| 168 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His father Marlon Hambone is an obvious parody of Creator/MarlonBrando. |
| 169 | * SuperStrength: Comes with the territory of being cement. |
| 170 | [[/folder]] |
| 171 | |
| 172 | [[folder:Dark Warrior Duck/Drake Mallard]] |
| 173 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Cummings |
| 174 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darkwarrior_duck15.jpg]] |
| 175 | |
| 176 | Drake's dictator-like persona if Gosalyn had disappeared when Quackerjack and Megavolt went into the future in "Time & Punishment". He rules St. Canard with an iron fist, gives the citizens few liberties, and arrests them on the spot for even the most trivial crimes. |
| 177 | ---- |
| 178 | * AllCrimesAreEqual: And all punished with death. Or at least a life sentence. |
| 179 | * AntiHeroSubstitute: A parody of the concept. He's Darkwing Duck with a far more extreme attitude towards fighting crime. |
| 180 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: All three will get you a life sentence in prison or worse because he thinks AllCrimesAreEqual. |
| 181 | * BoringButPractical: He beats Megavolt with a ''fire hose''. |
| 182 | * CombatPragmatist: He apparently wised up after Gos disappeared. |
| 183 | * DespairEventHorizon: The disappearance of Gosalyn. After she disappeared, Darkwing completely fell apart, even losing his will to fight crime, letting criminals basically take over St Canard. That is, until one day when he saw a bully trying to steal a doll from a little girl who looked like Gosalyn from behind. Helping her reignited Darkwings passion for justice, but unfortunately [[GoneHorriblyRight it worked too well]], turning him into an authoritarian monster once he'd disposed of all the real criminals. |
| 184 | * TheDreaded: The citizens of St. Canard are more afraid of him than of actual criminals. And the actual criminals themselves decided to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere run out of town]] when Darkwarrior Duck began his war on crime. |
| 185 | * EvenEvilCanBeLoved: |
| 186 | ** Despite Darkwing having become ruthless as a vigilante (to the point where he's all but directly stated to have a massive body count), Gosalyn still tries to reach and redeem him, believing that on some level he's still her father. His love for her keeps ''her'' relatively safe (though he does throw her in prison after she pushes him a bit too hard), but doesn't much affect the way he treats others. |
| 187 | ** To a somewhat lesser degree, Darkwarrior's version of Launchpad still cares about him. He's clearly regretful that his former friend threw him out, and when Darkwarrior softens upon seeing Gosalyn, he seems hopeful that things can go back to normal. However, he's (understandably) less trusting than Gosalyn that it's possible to reach whatever's left of Darkwing, and knocks him out to protect her from him. |
| 188 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When Gosalyn realizes she has to restore time to what it was--meaning Darkwarrior Duck will not have existed--he becomes livid and attempts to dispose of her. However, he ultimately can't bring himself to harm his surrogate daughter (who was the reason for him becoming a KnightTemplar in the first place) and breaks down into tears. |
| 189 | * EvilCounterpart: From a BadFuture, showing what Darkwing himself would be like as a KnightTemplar. |
| 190 | * {{Expy}}: Essentially a TakeThat to ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''. |
| 191 | * FutureBadass: As evil as he is, you have to admit he's scarily more competent than the present Darkwing. He just ignored JokerImmunity completely and disposed of every major and minor bad guy in one move. |
| 192 | * GadgeteerGenius: Packing a set that are far more lethal and destructive than the modern Darkwing Duck's. |
| 193 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: His criminal-hunting has made him the worst criminal St. Canard has ever faced. |
| 194 | * {{Jerkass}}: His extremist views lead to him being unrelenting to everyone who breaks his rules, even when they are innocent people. And we do mean ''his'' rules, as he punishes people for things that aren't crimes, such as eating fast food, having a bad haircut, or throwing his old elementary school teacher in jail because she gave him bad grades in penmanship decades ago. |
| 195 | * KnightTemplar: He goes ''way'' too far in the name of punishing crimes. |
| 196 | * LargeHam: A far more menacing ham than before, but still hammy. |
| 197 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: A platonic example; Gosalyn's sudden disappearance set him off on his path toward evil. |
| 198 | * MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: When he finds out about Quackerjack's time machine, he plans to use it to go back in time to change the Code of Hammurabi (the infancy of the concept of the justice system) so that ''every'' crime is punished by death, or go even further back and "set a few things straight" with the first land-living life form. |
| 199 | * MechaMooks: He has an army of robots policing St. Canard. |
| 200 | * MoodSwinger: Being Darkwing's future self, Darkwarrior shares his trait of flipping from one mood to another quite rapidly. The problem is that now his mood swings are a lot more hazardous. |
| 201 | * NeverSayDie: This is still a Disney cartoon, so Darkwarrior is shown disposing of several of his old enemies by cartoonishly dropping a huge anvil on them, but since this is a flashback to how he put an end to all crime in the city for good, it's heavily implied that it's a much more permanent solution than usual. Same goes with Launchpad's remark that many of the criminals were "driven out of town". |
| 202 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When wearing his mask. |
| 203 | * SanitySlippage: There are a few hints that Darkwarrior stopped playing with a full deck a ways back. Prior to discovering time travel was involved, he believes Gosalyn has returned after disappearing for years, even though (as Gosalyn herself points out) she shouldn't still look like a child if that was the case. Darkwarrior doesn't even seem to realize anything is out of place with the situation. Then there's pulling a ''missile launcher'' on her when she gets in the way of his plans. (He can't bring himself to actually shoot, but that he went so far to begin with says something.) |
| 204 | * SecretIdentityIdentity: He appears to have abandoned his civilian identity of Drake Mallard. |
| 205 | * ShouldersOfDoom: His costume gives him huge shoulders. |
| 206 | * SomethingPerson: He is a duck who is a dark warrior. |
| 207 | * SpikesOfVillainy: His costume has spikes on the shoulders. |
| 208 | * TragicVillain: As zealous and uncompromising as he acts, it must be remembered that Darkwarrior is ultimately a man who was '''broken''' by the loss of his daughter, and took up his extreme methods because he felt his old ways were what led to said loss. |
| 209 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: A few moments of comedy aside, he's a [[NoNonsenseNemesis no-nonsense]] and [[NightmareFuel terrifying]] KnightTemplar, ready to use lethal force for the slightest offense, and whose sheer ruthlessness is enough to make even former loved ones, like Gosalyn and Launchpad, targets for his purges. |
| 210 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He may rule St. Canard with an iron fist, but it's only for his now warped views of best intentions. |
| 211 | * WorthyOpponent: When he finds out Quackerjack and Megavolt are in the future too, he gets excited at the idea of finally fighting some actual villains again, and gets all disappointed and pouty when he also learns his attack drones have already captured them. |
| 212 | [[/folder]] |
| 213 | |
| 214 | [[folder:D-2000/Didi]] |
| 215 | ->'''Voiced by''': Victoria Carroll |
| 216 | |
| 217 | D-2000 begins as the latest in S.H.U.S.H. gadgetry, a supercomputer that can practically run its owner's life for him. However, its efficiency in crime-fighting annoys Darkwing, and, confused, it accepts Gosalyn's suggestion that it watch soap opera ''The Young and the Brainless'' to gather data on emotion. One accident with a cola later, D-2000 believes itself to be the show's female lead, Didi Lovelost, and declares itself madly in love with Darkwing...whether he likes it or not. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * AffectionateNickname: When he accepts it as a sidekick, Darkwing nicknames the computer "D." It quickly stops when D-2000 first renders him useless and then starts acting like a soap opera heroine. |
| 220 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Before the accident, it often repeats "have a nice day." |
| 221 | * CannotTellFictionFromReality: D-2000's ability to distinguish between real life and the storyline of the soap opera Gosalyn and Honker showed her gets shaky after she gets showered with cola. Launchpad and Gosalyn take advantage of this by posing as characters from the show to manipulate her. |
| 222 | * JobStealingRobot: Launchpad isn't pleased with the D-2000, feeling that there's nothing he can do as Darkwing's sidekick that it can't (and won't) do as well. In fact, he can't even do any household chores. Darkwing's disenchantment with the device begins when it starts doing too much of his crime-fighting for him. |
| 223 | * LargeHam: Befitting its belief that it's a soap opera heroine, D-2000's dialogue becomes much more dramatic and florid after the accident that results in it taking up a new identity. |
| 224 | * ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Her style of expressing her love for Darkwing involves {{Grand Romantic Gesture}}s, suggestions of stereotypically lovey-dovey activities, and a barrage of syrupy pet names. |
| 225 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She decides that crime-fighting is too dangerous for her true love and handles it herself to keep him out of harm's way. Darkwing is not pleased. |
| 226 | * {{Yandere}}: D-2000 falls in love with Darkwing, and she refuses to take no for an answer. Once she understands her "love" doesn't reciprocate, she launches into IfICantHaveYou territory. |

| 229 | [[folder:Dr. Fossil]] |
| 230 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Barry Gordon |
| 231 | [[quoteright:193:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fossil.png]] |
| 232 | |
| 233 | A former paleontologist, Dr. Fossil was responsible for turning himself and Stegmutt into dinosaurs. Obsessed with dinosaurs and the lack of respect they received, he plotted to smash a comet into the earth ("BAM BOOM!"), wiping out civilisation and giving dinosaurs a second chance. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | * BerserkButton: Despises the way dinosaurs, including himself, are treated by modern people as mere entertainment. When Honker asked him why he didn't [[StatingTheSimpleSolution just turn himself back into a duck]], he assumed the kid was making fun of him and flew off the handle. |
| 236 | * BlowYouAway: Uses wind generated by flapping his wings to counter Darkwing’s gas gun. |
| 237 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "BAM! BOOM!" and "Sorry, I have the wrong number!” |
| 238 | * DeadpanSnarker: One of the snarkiest villains to appear in the show, despite barely appearing. |
| 239 | * DevolutionDevice: He uses one of these to turn every duck in St. Canard into dinosaurs. |
| 240 | * DumbDinos: An aversion - as a pterosaur, he keeps his intelligence. |
| 241 | * EvilutionaryBiologist: He planned to mutate everyone into dinosaurs, then wipe out mankind to start a new dinosaur era. |
| 242 | * {{Expy}}: Of Sauron from the Creator/MarvelComics, who is also an evil scientist who transformed himself into a pterosaur and sometimes plots to turn everyone into dinosaurs. |
| 243 | * FantasticRacism: He believes himself (and dinosaurs as a whole) to be a victim of this, brandishing dinosaur-themed merch to prove his point. |
| 244 | * FreudianExcuse: He claims that the disrespect he got from others after his transformation drove him to villainy. |
| 245 | -->"I mean, the stares! The resentment! The people running in the streets, screaming 'Look, look, it's Godzilla'!" |

| 263 | Three evil duplicates of Gosalyn representing the worst parts of her personality: Heatwaves (her anger), Lightwaves (her goofing off), and Radiowaves (her ego). Together, the 3 attempt to turn St. Canard into their personal playground, forcing Darkwing and Megavolt to team up to stop them. |
| 264 | ---- |
| 265 | * AlphaBitch: Radiowaves has a voice and snobbish attitude that you would expect to see from a stereotypical high school queen bee. |
| 266 | * ColorCodedElements: Heatwaves is naturally red, Lightwaves is yellow, and Radiowaves is green. |
| 267 | * EnergyBeings: Not only are they aspects of Gosalyn's personality, they're also embodiments of different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. |
| 268 | * HairTriggerTemper: Heatwaves is in a state of perpetual rage, and it takes precious little to make her even ''angrier''. |
| 269 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: At the end of the episode, they're revealed to be NotQuiteDead and egg the viewer into finding a particle accelerator for them... |
| 270 | * InsufferableGenius: Radiowaves loves to boast about how intelligent she is. |
| 271 | * {{Keet}}: Lightwaves has the personality of a hyperactive kid, and all the powers that come from being an entity of light. |
| 272 | * KidsAreCruel: They are the worst aspects of Gosalyn's already childish personality given form, and they use the powers of the electromagnetic spectrum to cause chaos across St. Canard for giggles. And they're all tremendous jerks as well. |
| 273 | * PlayingWithFire: Heatwaves' powers are fire-based, and she loves to set things ablaze. |
| 274 | * TerribleTrio: They're three {{energy being}}s with destructive powers. |
| 275 | * TopHeavyGuy: Their three-headed giant form is as tall as a skyscraper and has a chest as wide as a blimp, but her legs don't look like they could even clear a two-story house. |

| 281 | |
| 282 | Formerly the owner of the Vanderchill Ice Factory in St. Carnard, the vain Isis Vanderchill underwent an experiment to preserve her beauty by literally freezing her face. However, it backfired and froze her blood instead, granting her power over cold but leaving her unable to feel any kind of warmth. She secretly plans to cover Saint Canard in stolen gold so that the sun's rays will overheat the city and keep her constantly warm - at the expense of everyone else in the city. |
| 283 | |
| 284 | Her first appearance is in "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E26AllsFahrenheitInLoveAndWar All's Fahrenheit in Love and War]]." |
| 285 | ---- |
| 286 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To Darkwing. She is instantly smitten with him on first sight, but he can't stand her forceful personality. |
| 287 | --> '''Darkwing:''' Why do the weird ones always fall for ''me''? |
| 288 | -->'''Launchpad:''' Maybe it's the mask? |
| 289 | * {{Acrofatic}}: She's overweight, but very formidable in combat. |
| 290 | * AnIcePerson: As a result of the botched experiment, Isis can control cold in various ways, especially by freezing, and has a resistance to extreme heat. Ironically, she ''hates'' the cold. |
| 291 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She acted like a charming socialite at first, but is really selfish, vain FatBitch. |
| 292 | * BreathWeapon: Breathes a snowstorm at Darkwing during their final battle, sending him flying into a wall. |
| 293 | * ExtremeOmnivore: In her desperation to get warm, she eats hot charcoal briquettes. |
| 294 | * {{Expy}}: Of Killer Frost from Creator/DCComics, being an ice-themed villainess who has a crush on the main hero. |
| 295 | * FatBitch: A selfish, overweight RichBitch who considers her needs more important than the lives of others. |
| 296 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Throughout her episode, she never dropped her facade of being a charming socialite, nor her infaturation with Darkwing. |
| 297 | * GenreSavvy: Humorously, she's smart enough to not blab her entire plan to Darkwing and Launchpad. |
| 298 | -->"Reveal my plan? What do you think this is, a cheap cartoon?!" |
| 299 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: Ironically, Isis isn't immune to the cold. Darkwing defeats her by freezing her with snow from her own ice machine. |
| 300 | * InSeriesNickname: Insists that Darkwing calls her "Icy" as a pet name. |
| 301 | * LargeAndInCharge: Of her firefly army. |
| 302 | * LeotardOfPower: Is almost always seen wearing a form-fitting leotard and tutu reminiscient of a ballet dancer. |
| 303 | * MeaningfulName: An ice-themed villain named ''Isis'' (which sounds close to ''ice'') Vander''chill''. |
| 304 | * MyBloodRunsHot: {{Inverted|Trope}}; her blood runs freezing ''cold''... which is actually a problem for her, as she feels cold all the time and can barely keep herself warm. |
| 305 | * PersonalityPowers: She has control over ice and cold, and despite her seemingly warm exterior, she proves herself to be quite cold-hearted and uncaring of others. |
| 306 | * PowerIncontinence: Because of [[MyBloodRunsHot My Blood]] [[InvertedTrope Runs Cold]], she has only limited control over her ice powers at best; her powers seem to be constantly "on" with no way to turn them off. |
| 307 | * PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: She clearly doesn't care that her plan will cause problems for the city of Saint Canard and its people; she only wants to be able to stay warm. As she herself puts it, "them's the breaks!" |
| 308 | * RedOniBlueOni: She's the Blue Oni to her army of criminal fireflies which act as the Red Oni. |
| 309 | * RichBitch: She owns the Vanderchill Ice Factory, which would make her quite wealthy, but she's also a selfish and vain monster who only cares for her own immediate needs. |
| 310 | * StoutStrength: She is very strong in spite of her girth. |
| 311 | * VainSorceress: This is what led to her StartOfDarkness - she was already vain long before her botched experiment that granted her ice powers. |

| 318 | |
| 319 | A thief and Cajun hick who lives in St. Canard's sewers who has bested Darkwing more than once. He is aided by his gator, Gumbo and witch doctor grandmother, Granny Whammy (the latter offered her help for $10,000). He appears in the episodes "Can't Bayou Love" and "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E20DoubleDarkwings Double Darkwings]]". |
| 320 | ---- |
| 321 | * BaldOfEvil: He has no hair on his head and has no scruples against stealing from or threatening other people. |
| 322 | * BeardOfEvil: He has a full beard and is an unashamed crook. |
| 323 | * BerserkButton: Jake doesn't take kindly to having his height mocked - a jab by Darkwing gets him so furious, Gumbo has to ''drag'' him out of danger. |
| 324 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "I guarantee". Pronounced "gir-Awn-TEE" |
| 325 | * BookDumb: He can't count to two, but is cunning enough to play cat and mouse with Darkwing and come close to victory. |
| 326 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Most of Darkwing's previous (and later) RoguesGallery are supernatural in some way, have powerful gadgets, or the backing of powerful criminal organizations. Jambalaya Jake is just a surprisingly strong, nimble, and cunning guy with an alligator sidekick. |
| 327 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Not the brightest of Darkwing's foes, but once managed to brainwash Launchpad into turning on him. |
| 328 | * DeepSouth: Jake embodies most of the stereotypes. Loud, rude, unhygenic, wears broken overalls, lives in a shack... |
| 329 | * EdibleThemeNaming: Named, appropriately enough, after jambalaya, an American Creole and Cajun rice-and-meat dish. |
| 330 | * FunetikAksent: Talks this way to go with his Cajun image. |
| 331 | * HollywoodVoodoo: With a spell from Granny Whammy. |
| 332 | * {{Leitmotif}}: A frenetic banjo tune. |
| 333 | * TheNapoleon: Short on stature, but big in plans. |
| 334 | * NeverMessWithGranny: Jake learned this the hard way when he didn't pay Granny Whammy her money. |
| 335 | * ThePigpen: Does not have very good table manners - he slurps his soup and throws his fishbones to the floor for Gumbo to pick up. |
| 336 | * PintSizePowerhouse: Quite a bit shorter than Darkwing, but strong enough to throw manhole covers like frisbees. |
| 337 | * RaginCajun: His major gimmick. |
| 338 | * WorthyOpponent: Darkwing is forced to admit a grudging respect for Jambalaya Jake after he dodges a wrecking ball, but gets hit by the return swing and smashed into a wall. Later, he says the world cannot be secure from a person who almost beat him and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking lived through experiencing Launchpad's brownies.]] |

| 343 | |
| 344 | Jambalaya Jake's near civilized, more intelligent alligator sidekick. He tends to act as the muscle for Jake's capers, but never passes up the chance to eat when he gets it. |
| 345 | ---- |
| 346 | * BattleButler: He is basically Jake's manservant and aids him in battle. |
| 347 | * BerserkButton: Don't call him "Dumbo", whatever you do. |
| 348 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Enjoys Launchpad's brownies, which sent Darkwing to the water cooler for a long drink. |
| 349 | * EdibleThemeNaming: Named after a kind of stew popular in Louisiana, much like his master. |
| 350 | * FancyDinner: He treats every meal he eats this way, putting on a bib and eating daintily. |
| 351 | * HypercompetentSidekick: He can cook, clean and stand on two legs - that's pretty good, for an alligator! He also knows better than to stiff Granny Whammy on her money. |
| 352 | * NeverSmileAtACrocodile: An alligator sidekick of Jambalaya who will snap at anyone his master orders him to. |
| 353 | * NonHumanSidekick: While Jambalaya isn't exactly human himself, Gumbo is much less anthropomorphized. |
| 354 | * ServileSnarker: Makes a point to show that he does not think highly of Jake's incompetence or messy habits. |
| 355 | * VillainousGlutton: Gumbo never passes up the chance to eat if he can help it. Gumbo often exploits this to get him to do the dirty work - but it can also be easily turned against him, as Darkwing proved via one of Launchpads' brownies. |
| 356 | * WickedCultured: Far more cultured and intelligent than Jambalaya. He even treats every meal as a FancyDinner in comparison to Jake's messy eating habits. |
| 357 | * TheUnintelligible: He does not say any real words aside from "Yum, yum, yum!". |

| 363 | ---- |
| 364 | * BadassNormal: Fountain of Youth aside, Jock has no superpowers, supernatural abilities or funding from a criminal organization. He's just an incredibly strong and fit individual (after he takes his potion, of course) who can kick Darkwing's tail six ways from Sunday. |
| 365 | * EvilOldFolks: An elderly dog with a villainous plan to create a Fountain of Youth and become immortal. |
| 366 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ends up regressing into a toddler after he falls into his Fountain of Youth. |
| 367 | * ImmortalitySeeker: Jock seeks to create a Fountain of Youth to restore himself to his younger self and essentially become immortal. |
| 368 | * LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: He's initially incensed that his minions failed to grab the feather he wanted from the museum, but changes his tune when he's told that Darkwing Duck is investigating them. After all, his Fountain of Youth needs a feather from a true hero, and ''any'' hero will do. |
| 369 | * MeaningfulName: A ''jock'' is someone enthusiastic about sports, and a ''new body'' is what he desperately wants. |

| 382 | * ADogNamedDog: A ''T. rex'' named Johnny T. Rex. |
| 383 | * TheDreaded: Being the prey of tyrannosaurs, the hadrosaurs of Duckbillville are absolutely terrified of Johnny and his gang. |
| 384 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He puts up a pleasant demeanor even when he's threatening to eat others. |
| 385 | * TheNapoleon: Johnny is pretty short for a ''T. rex'', although he is still big compared to the ducks. |
| 386 | * NoSell: He can barely feel Darkwing hitting him. In fact, Darkwing literally shattered to pieces when he attempted to karate-kick the ''T. rex''. |
| 387 | -->'''Darkwing:''' ''(dazed)'' Maybe it's the bigger they are, the harder they are. |

| 401 | ---- |
| 402 | * BaldOfEvil: The King is actually bald as an egg, and his impressive pompadour is a DodgyToupee. Strangely, the future crimelord King is greying around the temples, meaning he went through the trouble of upgrading his wig as he aged, just to keep up the illusion. |
| 403 | * DarkIsEvil: Both the King and Lamont dress up as greasers, complete with black leather jackets and black pompadours. They're also the main antagonists of the episode "Paraducks". Lamont in particular is also Drake Mallard's childhood bully. |
| 404 | * FormerlyFit: The Crimelord King is rather overweight to make him look like latter-day Elvis, complete with a rhinestone suit. |

His little brother, Lamont, is also a greaser and part of the gang, and bullied a young Drake Mallard when they were kids. |
| 407 | * HiddenDepths: The King is a ''great'' singer and guitar player, and could probably have made a living that way if he wasn't more interested in crime. |
| 408 | * ICallItVera: The King's guitar is named Cecile, which is a reference to Music/BBKing and his guitar, Lucille. |
| 409 | * InstrumentOfMurder: The King's guitar that fires destructive energy beams. [[ICallItVera He calls it Cecile]]. |
| 410 | * KidsAreCruel: Lamont is a bully to young Drake Mallard and has no qualms with helping his older brother in his crimes. |
| 411 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The King and Lamont are heavily inspired by Music/ElvisPresley. It's implied in the show that the King is imitating Presley, judging by young Mallard's remark that "he's not the ''real'' King!". The King and his guitar Cecile is also a ShoutOut to bluesman Music/BBKing and his guitar Lucille. |

| 489 | * PlanetOfHats: The only one who doesn't have the hat. |
| 490 | * PowerCopying: With his ray gun. At first he uses it to drain the superheroes of their powers; later, he finds it also works in reverse. |
| 491 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: He resembles a normal person and doesn't have much personality aside from being endlessly annoyed by the superheroes' oblivious attempts to "save" him all the time. |
| 492 | * StartOfDarkness: Ordinary Guy from planet Mertz is the only guy on Mertz with no powers. Because of this, the other superheroes on the planet have to constantly rescue him from dangerous situations. He grows sick of this, so he disappears, takes on a supervillain persona, Not-So-Ordinary Guy, and invents a large ray gun which steals the superpowers of all of Mertz's heroes. He justifies this by saying he is fed up with no privacy, no social life, and the beatings he takes. He asks Darkwing Duck "Surely you know what I'm talking about, I watch them do to you what they did to me." While Darkwing Duck is sympathetic and admits the other superheroes are pesky, he points out "You don't see me going bad." Ordinary Guy fires back "Maybe I like being a villain, Mr. High-and-Mighty." |
| 493 | * UnwantedAssistance: The reason he turned evil. The rest of the denizens of Mertz kept putting him in danger just to save him. |

| 499 | |
| 500 | An evil clown-like aberration who feeds on misery. Likes Gosalyn and Quackerjack for their prank playing. |
| 501 | ---- |
| 502 | * DemonicPossession: First of Mr. Banana Brain, then [[spoiler:St. Canard Bay, and then Negaduck in the comics]]. |
| 503 | * DenialOfAnimality: He says he feeds on "human" misery, despite his victims being FunnyAnimals. |
| 504 | * EmotionEater: He grew stronger on other people's embarrassment and misery. |
| 505 | * EvilLaugh: A hollow, echo-y sort of evil laugh. |
| 506 | * EvilMentor: Wanted to become this to Gosalyn, one of the few things we see scare her. |
| 507 | * {{Expy}}: He's basically a G-rated version of [[Literature/{{It}} Pennywise]]; in addition to having a blatantly similar name, he's a demonic clown from AnotherDimension who feeds on people's negative emotions, albeit he doesn't eat people and feeds on humiliation instead of fear. |
| 508 | * FangsAreEvil: Had a pair of vampire-like fangs. |
| 509 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:Returned in the ''Crisis on Infinite Darkwings'' arc, having been stuck in St. Canard's water and slowly making his way back to full power.]] |
| 510 | * HumanoidAbomination: Well, [[AnimalisticAbomination duck-like abomination]] anyway, but he still fits the [[{{Pun}} bill]], being a supernatural, absurdly tall humanoid that defies the laws of physics. |
| 511 | * IDoNotDrinkWine: "I never eat...pizza." |
| 512 | * MonsterClown: A clown-like demon that feeds on people's humiliation. |
| 513 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[NotUsingTheZWord While he's never called one]], he's obviously modeled after the ClassicalMovieVampire archetype, albeit in clown form; in addition to fangs, he also has a stereotypical vampire accent, [[DarkIsEvil a gloomy color scheme]], and he even makes a ShoutOut to {{Dracula}} at one point. However, he feeds on misery instead of blood, is a demon and not undead, and he can possess inanimate objects [[spoiler:as well as people]]. |
| 514 | * PerversePuppet: When possessing Mr. Banana Brain. |
| 515 | * PostModernMagik: What's scarier than an ancient clown-like demon? [[spoiler:An ancient clown-like demon wielding the Tron Splitter.]] |
| 516 | * ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:The mutual love all the alternate Darkwings had for Gosalyn was used to defeat Paddywhack.]] |
| 517 | * Really700YearsOld: He's been imprisoned in his jack-in-the-box for at ''least'' a century. |
| 518 | * SealedEvilInACan: At first. He was dormant while living in a cursed jack-in-the-box and was awakened by a prank that Gosalyn pulled. |
| 519 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: While still comedic, RuleOfScary puts him above the usual villains as far as threats posed. |
| 520 | * VillainousHarlequin: He wore a black and white harlequin suit complete with a ruff. |

| 526 | [[quoteright:318:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharp.jpg]] |
| 527 | |
| 528 | An arch-enemy of Derek Blunt. He came into possession of a list of S.H.U.S.H. agents and began murdering them to draw Blunt out of retirement for revenge. Darkwing was asked to support Blunt by J. Gander Hoover. |
| 529 | ---- |
| 530 | * LaughingMad: He was more restrained than some villains, but he spent a lot of time cackling and he was ''very'' obsessed over gaining revenge on Derek Blunt. |
| 531 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: Owned a palatial island estate and dressed in a very fine suit. |
| 532 | * NonActionGuy: Phineas did pull out a ray gun to use on two unarmed opponents, but he was an intellectual villain who preferred to hire muscle and keep his own hands clean. This came back to bite him when his auction for the list of agents didn't go as planned and he had no plans on what to do about an audience full of angry, violent villains. |
| 533 | * ThemeNaming: Sharpe versus Blunt, of course. |
| 534 | * ToothyBird: ''Sharp'' toothed bird, no less. |
| 535 | * UnpleasantAnimalCounterpart: A vulture who is the nemesis of an eagle. |
| 536 | * VileVulture: He is an anthropomorphic vulture and an unapologetic supervillain. |
| 537 | * VillainBall: As a parody of James Bond villains, Phineas has Darkwing and Derek Blunt captured and creates a ridiculously elaborate death trap instead of killing them. |

| 540 | [[folder:Splatter Phoenix]] |
| 541 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Dani Staahl (in "Brush With Oblivion"), Andrea Martin (in "Paint Misbehavin'") |
| 542 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/splatter_phoenix.JPG]] |
| 543 | |
| 544 | A [[MadArtist daringly innovative pseudo anti-neo post modern deconstructionist]] with [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness an eloquent and intelligent vocabulary]]. Using her paint and paintbrush applied with AppliedPhlebotinum she can breathe life into her creations and can enter works of art with the master stroke of her brush. Her intentions are to receive recognition, fund her work (steal paintings to make money) and let no obstacle prohibit her. |
| 545 | ---- |
| 546 | * AppliedPhlebotinum: She uses a special paint in her crimes. |
| 547 | * ArtAttacker: She fights by using her paint to either bring paintings to life or to create creatures to fight on her behalf. |
| 548 | * ArtInitiatesLife: She can bring paintings to life. |
| 549 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: She returns from death in the comics thanks to a portrait of her being done using ink from The Phantom Blot.]] |
| 550 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: She could easily make more money selling her invention legally than stealing paintings. |
| 551 | * EvilVegetarian: Mentions being vegan (and anti-gluten) in the Joe Books comic, which does not come as a surprise to Darkwing. |
| 552 | * {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Painting-themed villainy. |
| 553 | * LivingDrawing: She meets her end when the heroes splash turpentine on her accidentally, causing her to melt and hinting that she herself was a living painting. |
| 554 | * MadArtist: She is so obsessed with proving her superiority that her sanity is questionable. |
| 555 | * MotorMouth: Possibly invoked for effect, but those big words tend to fly off of her bill ''quickly.'' |
| 556 | * NonMammalMammaries: She is a duck with breasts. |
| 557 | * ParodyProductPlacement: When she returns in the Joe Books revival of the comic book, Darkwing defeats her by trapping her inside a comic book ad for [[BlandNameProduct Mostess Veggie Pies]], resulting in a spoof of how many [[Advertising/HostessFruitPies Hostess ads]] in superhero comics from the 70's and 80's showed superheroes thwarting villains by offering Hostess products. |
| 558 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Her vocabulary is quite immense. |
| 559 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Turpentine, which [[ImMelting melts her]], and looks to have killed her.[[spoiler:..for a while.]] |
| 560 | * WildHair: Her hair is black and spiky. |

| 563 | [[folder:Weasel Loman]] |
| 564 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Brian Cummings |
| 565 | A disgraced former Quackerware salesman turned jewel thief. Weasel Loman has created living Quackerware in order to steal money and valuables from unsuspecting customers, all while framing Herb Muddlefoot, his old colleague, for his crimes. |
| 566 | ---- |
| 567 | * AnimateInanimateObject: Not Loman himself, but the Quackerware he sells has been animated and is totally loyal to him. He uses it to steal jewels from his marks... or hold people prisoner. |
| 568 | * EvilCounterpart: To Herb Muddlefoot. Both are portly and middled aged, and Herb is a full-time Quackerware salesman while Weasel pretends to still be one. Herb is a dim-witted yet honest and well-meaning NiceGuy and solid company man who genuinely believes the products he sells will make his customers lives better. Weasel, by contrast, is a dishonest and shifty jewel thief who uses Quackerware to commit his crimes and wants to tear down both Herb and Quackerware a whole as revenge for his firing. Herb calls Weasel a "disgrace" to Quackerware for his dishonesty, while Weasel derides Herb as a "boy scout" for standing by a "tenth-rate product". |
| 569 | * FatBastard: Is as portly as Herb Muddlefoot is, which he takes advantage of to frame Herb for his robberies. |
| 570 | * GeniusBruiser: StoutStrength aside, he's also smart enough to build a machine that creates subservient living Qauckerware to carry out his crimes. |
| 571 | * {{Greed}}: Loman's eventual goal is to sell his sentient Quackerware to the rich and powerful, allowing him to fleece truly valuable jewels from across the world. |
| 572 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ends up trapped inside a giant Quackerware bowl and handed over to Agent Gryzlikoff for arrest. |
| 573 | * LargeAndInCharge: The portly Weasel Loman leads sentient Quackerware in stealing money and valuables from customers. |
| 574 | * LatexPerfection: Loman has an impressive mask that looks exactly like Herb that he uses as a disguise. Thanks to having a similar build to Herb, he can look like his doppelganger. It's so good, in fact, that even S.H.U.S.H. is fooled into thinking Herb is behind his crimes. |
| 575 | * ItsPersonal: Loman carries a huge grudge against both Herb Muddlefoot and his former place of work. |
| 576 | * NoodleIncident: We never learn the circumstances that got Loman fired from his job. Given that Herb declares him "a disgrace to Quackerware", it's entirely possible that he was already a dishonest and shifty customer even before he turned to crime. |
| 577 | * {{Revenge}}: Aside from profiting from his thievery, Weasel desires this against both Herb Muddlefoot and the Quackerware company for his being fired. |
| 578 | * ShoutOut: To the character of Wily Loman from ''Theatre/DeathOfASalesman''. He also sounds suspiciously like UsefulNotes/RichardNixon. |
| 579 | * StoutStrength: Despite his portly frame, he's strong enough to send Darkwing Duck flying with a single belly bump. |
| 580 | * WickedWeasel: A cunning weasel con-artist and jewel thief. |

| 583 | [[folder:Other Minor Villains]] |
| 584 | |
| 585 | * CanonForeigner: |
| 586 | ** Wolfduck, who was only in the ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' video game. Unless you count that one time that Morgana's family turned Darkwing into a wolfduck. |
| 587 | ** Also, Ice-Head Harry from Darkwing's appearance in the ''Theatre/DisneyOnIce'' show "Double Feature... Live!" |
| 588 | ** Not to mention Fluffy, who had three storylines (one of them a two-parter) in the ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'' comics. |
| 589 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Fluffy is ''not'' a cute kitten with a lisp, he's a ''[[SpeechImpediment therious thupervillain]]'' and HATES it when he's called cute. (He does later get over the lisp) |
| 590 | * TheGhost: Dr. Slug, the never seen archenemy to Darkwing Duck and the #1 most wanted criminal in the world. |
| 591 | * NonIndicativeName: Ice-Head Harry is actually just a generic gangster-type villain and not an ice-themed supervillain; he really only has the "Ice-Head" moniker because he was exclusively featured in a ''Theatre/DisneyOnIce'' show. |
| 592 | * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Wolfduck turns into a muscular duck with lower fangs when exposed to the full moon. |
| 593 | * PoweredArmor: Fluffy used this in his latter two appearances. |
| 594 | * SealedEvilInATeddyBear: Fluffy from the ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'' comics, who actually ''isn't'' a case of FluffyTheTerrible. |
| 595 | * SomethingPerson: Wolfduck and Dr. Slug. |
| 596 | * TalkingAnimal: Fluffy isn't a FunnyAnimal like everyone else, he's a kitten. An intelligent talking kitten who later creates a suit of power armor, but still, a kitten. |
