| 26 | -> Debut: Paperinik il diabolico vendicatore |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Donald Duck's superhero identity he originally created to go back on the people who wronged him (e.g. Gladstone Gander and Uncle Scrooge). |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | * TheAce: He's a hypercompetent crimefighter, he almost always wins his battles and is respected by almost everyone in Duckburgh. This of course is a big contrast to Donald Duck's usual portrayal as LoserProtagonist. The main idea behind his creation was that Donald can get revenge on the people who wronged him in his everyday life. |
| 31 | * AdaptationalBadass: Whenever he suits up as Paperinik, Donald shows competence and skills he barely shows in comics outside of the Paperinik-series. |
| 32 | * AffectionateParody: First of {{ComicBook/Diabolik}} and other costumed {{Villain Protagonist}}s, later on the superhero genre as a whole. |
| 33 | * BadassNormal: He has no superpowers or special training, but everythere and -when he doesn't rely on the gadgets and goes into a fistfight with gangsters - and usually wins. |
| 34 | * BatmanParody: Originally designed after Diabolik, nowadays he draws more similarities to [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} the Masked Crusader]] from DC. |
| 35 | * BornUnlucky: Suprisingly {{Averted|Trope}}, as Paperinik lacks the natural unluckyness Donald faces usually. |
| 36 | * BreakoutCharacter: He's a very big character in European countries and as well-known as Donald himself, with many, many comics with him are produced. In some countries he rivals Donald's civilian identity if it comes to appearing on covers of Disney comic collections. |
| 37 | * TheCape: A classic superhero with a great reputation, being seen as a hero by almost everyone in the city. |
| 38 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Originally a VillainProtagonist who only rights the wrongs did to him, he would go on to become a full-blown superhero. |
| 39 | * TheDreaded: DependingOnTheWriter, the underworld is very frightened by only his signal. Some crooks turn themselves willingly in to the police to avoid conflict with him. |
| 40 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Modern readers would be surprised that in his first few appearances, Paperinik Was far from being a heroic person, suiting up sometimes for just selfish and petty reasons, humiliating his victims like Scrooge and Gladstone. |
| 41 | * {{Flanderization}}: Originally a secret identity for Donald so that he could win about his opponents (as Donald usually was depicted as LoserProtagonist in Italian comics at the time), he soon developed into a hypercompetent superhero. |
| 42 | * FlyingCar: His chosen vehicle is Donald's oldtimer, the 313. Thanks to Gyro Gearloose, [[CoolCar the car has a lot of extra-gadgets]] - and the ability to fly. |
| 43 | * FriendlyEnemy: Again DependingOnTheWriter he's often very nice to his opponents and will occasionally have chats with them. |
| 44 | * FriendToAllChildren: He's extra nice around children and always has a good stand with them. |
| 45 | * HatesMySecretIdentity: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, but both Scrooge and Gladstone (occassionally even Daisy and Huey, Dewey and Louie) have an extremly higher opinion on Paperinik than they have on Donald. Gladstone even considers Paperinik his friend sometimes, while he often bullies his cousin. |
| 46 | * IdentityImpersonator: Donald would sometimes ask his cousins Fethry or Gladstone to pose as Paperikik to protect his secret identity. |
| 47 | * LatexPerfection: Thanks to Gyro Gearloose he possesses exact masks of most of his family members and other important inhanitants of Duckburgh (like John D. Rockerduck) so he can pose as them. He even has a Donald-mask. |
| 48 | * LegacyCharacter: Get the idea of becoming a Masked Avenger by finding the diary of former GentlemanThief Fantomius, designing and seeing himself as the latter's successor. |
| 49 | * LikesClarkKentHatesSuperman: Played both sides with Daisy's own costumed identity of Paperinika: Donald and Daisy hate the other's Alter Ego not aware that they're their civilian identities fiancées. |
| 50 | * NonPoweredCostumedHero: He lacks any superpowers and fights crime with gadgets provided to him by Gyro Gearloose. |
| 51 | * PoliceAreUseless: To the point the police itself agrees and is happy to let Paperinik do their work. |
| 52 | * {{Revenge}}: His original motive was to punish Scrooge and Gladstone for whst they do to Donald. |
| 53 | * SecretIdentity: Donald Duck. |
| 54 | * SecretKeeper: Gyro Gearloose, who provides him with his gadgets, is this in some stories for Paperinik. |
| 55 | * SuperheroesWearCapes: He proudly wears one. |
| 56 | * SuperheroesWearTights: Ironically, while Donald doesn't even wear pants Paperinik wears superhero tights. |
| 57 | * TwoPersonLoveTriangle: Some stories see Daisy falling for Paperinik, deeming Donald too lazy and unskilled, so that Donald has to try to win her back. |
| 58 | * UtilityBelt: Possesses one similar to Batman. |
| 59 | * VillainProtagonist: Of his early stories. |

| 77 | * WeaksauceWeakness: ''Onion juice'', as having it sprayed on his face makes him helpless. And he used to like eating onions... |

| 89 | * FreudianExcuse: His mother had a phobia for dirt and kept the house continuously clean, also trying not to get her son dirty, so she would not allow Percival to cuddle his favorite plush bear because it was always dusty.

| 268 | * HerosEvilPredecessor: "Evil" is a bit of a stretch, but Fantomius did go down in history (and labelled himself as) a master thief whereas Paperinik eventually shirked his anti-hero roots and became a more straightforward vigilante who was beloved and trusted by the public. |
| 269 | * InTheBlood: Whenever his relatives get some characterization they're shown to share his [[TheTrickster Trickster]], avenging and ultimately gentle tendencies: |
| 270 | ** His older brother Henry, noticed his aspirations for heroic adventures when he was a child, told him how masks and cloaks could be used not to conceal someone's identity but to reveal their real self, indirectly inspiring Fantomius. He also designed and built Villa Rosa (John's main house in the US) with its various secret passages [[GenreSavvy because he expected him to pull something like that]], and actually provided the costume (once a knightly outfit Henry wore to a costume party, and the outfit he was wearing when he inspired John. Henry's version had diffent footwear, a hat in place of Fantomius' face-covering mask, and wore the cape in a different way). Also, Henry later [[spoiler:became a GentlemanThief himself as the Phantom of Notre-Duck]]. |
| 271 | ** Richard Quackett, the Mad Duke of Duckburg (originally created by Barks but left without characterization), earned his nickname by joining Francis Drake's expeditions, stealing part of the loot (something Drake considered madness, hence the name), and [[RefugeInAudacity settling in New Albion (the future Duckburg), a settlement founded by Drake himself]]. He used part of the stolen gold to build the three medieval castles around the place, [[NiceToTheWaiter fairly paying the settlers and the local Indians for the job]], and then gave part of the remaining gold to charity (and slipping some to a friend right before Drake came back to take his revenge) before disappearing. Dolly calls him the first GentlemanThief. |
| 272 | ** His grandfather only appeared in a flashback, but is shown to have committed a theft to prevent a greater injustice. He also raised John's father as a profundly honest man. |
| 273 | ** John's mother, Marie Lamont, is a gentle woman, who could commit crimes to prevent greater injustices or protect her family. |
| 274 | ** The duke Andrew Quackett, John's father, is the WhiteSheep of the family-as in, he's the only law-abiding man of the family (and completely ignorant of what his relatives are willing to do), though he's more than willing to fight with all his might for justice. [[ParentsAsPeople He was a stern father to John and didn't get his fascination with Robin Hood, but deeply loved him and raised him as a honest man]]. |
| 275 | * JustLikeRobinHood: Has shades of this, leaving parts of his loot to the poors of Duckburg. This trait is more marked in Danish stories: Italian Paperinik stories, including the one where Paperinik debuted and first mentioned Fantomius, make clear that Fantomius stole from the rich only out of a personal vendetta (as they called him a good for nothing just because of his British nationality, much like Donald Duck became Paperinik due to having enough of being called called a lazy good for nothing in spite of all his efforts), and as much as he would give to charity any cash he stole, he usually grabbed jewels and other rare and valuable things. |
| 276 | ** {{Lampshaded}} in a flashback, where it is shown he was actually a fan of Robin Hood as a child-and admitted he was one of his inspirations (the other being a lawyer-friendly take on Franchise/{{Zorro}}). |
| 277 | * LatexPerfection: An avid user. Some of his masks ended up in Paperinik's hands. |
| 278 | * LegacyCharacter: Appropriately enough, Fantomius is the one whose journal inspired Donald into becoming Paperinik. |
| 279 | * MasterOfDisguise: Notably, he even pulled Paperinik's trademark disguise of his own secret identity (wearing a lord Quackett mask over his costume). |
| 280 | * MythologyGag: His bed-stealing threat to Scrooge alludes to how Donald does exactly that in one of the earlier Paperinik stories. |
| 281 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: His threat to rob Scrooge of everything, including the bed he was sleeping on, as soon as he comes back to Duckburg is the direct cause of the billionaire staying away until 1930 and missing his chances to rekindle his relationship with his sisters, also leaving Duckburg vulnerable to Flintheart Glomgold taking over and robbing the place blind. |
| 282 | * NoPlaceForMeThere: The reason for his retirement: he felt there was no place for a GentlemanThief in the world after TheGreatDepression hit. |
| 283 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Acts as an idiot to make sure he won't be linked to Fantomius... And to troll the snobs of high society. |
| 284 | * OlderAndWiser: A modern version of Fantomius is shown in the 2005 history of Danish production ''The Legacy (The Myth)'', where the gentleman thief after many years of hermitage and oriental arts training, now aged teacher, returns to Duckburg to know and train the mysterious masked duck (all signs point is Gladstone) who inherited the villa and its gadgets being followed up his exploits. |
| 285 | ** In the Italian version of this story published on with the title ''Paperinik and the Legacy'' have been altered, the original dialogues and the aged master is not presented as Fantomius but simply as a member of the congregation to which he entrusted the task of ensuring that his legacy would not be wasted, as "Paperinik the Devilish Avenger" (the first Paperinik story) established that Fantomius was dead. |
| 286 | * PosthumousCharacter: ''Paperinik il Diabolico Vendicatore'' establishes that he's already dead. Stories set in the present only have him appear though flashbacks or impersonators. |
| 287 | ** Subverted in Danish stories where he is older and alive. |
| 288 | * SecretIdentity: No one would think that the ditzy, clumpsy Lord Quackett is in reality the cunning gentleman thief. |
| 289 | * SecretIdentityIdentity: Fantomius is who he really is, with lord Quackett being a mere act. |
| 290 | * TheTrickster: Can't resist pranking his victims and Pinko, with the latter's boast that one day he'd arrest him and he would not escape being answered by Fantomius letting himself be arrested and unmasked, breaking out to commit a heist and signing it, going back to the jail ''by the main door'' and breaking out again leaving behind a mask with his own face to convince Pinko he wasn't actually lord Quackett. |
| 291 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Not properly doom, but his promise to steal everything Scrooge owns, including his bed while he's sleeping on it, as soon as he's back to Duckburg is why the billionaire didn't return until 1930. |
| 292 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: Danish versions. His big-headed appearance sharply differs from the one designed by Scarpa in 1970. |

| 298 | |
| 299 | Fantomius female counterpart who shares with him the most daring enterprises. She's a distant relative of Gladstone. |
| 300 | ---- |
| 301 | * TheGhost: In the first adventures little was known about the true identity of Dolly. In these stories she was in fact impersonated by Daisy, who was wearing the strange red costume with bat or fox style long ears, for a masquerade party. The real Dolly Paprika is shown for the first time in some images of the story ''Paperinik e il tesoro di Dolly Paprika'' (Duck Avenger and the treasure Of Dolly Paprika) and she finally appear in the flesh in the story ''Paperinik e il passato senza futuro'' (Duck Avenger and the past without future) where it is also said her true name which is Dolly Duck. |
| 302 | * RichBoredom: She follow Fantomius in his adventures to escape the boring, mundane life that her class requires her to follow. |
| 303 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Dolly is the one who had the merit of suggesting to Fantomius to keep a secret diary for posterity to confide all their enterprise. Without it, Donald would never have become Paperinik. |

| 311 | Police commissioner in 1920s Duckburg. Nemesis of Fantomius. |
| 312 | ---- |
| 313 | * ButtMonkey: He is as usual foolished by Fantomius and in this case also by Paperinik disguise as Lord Quackett in a TimeTravel story. |
| 314 | * EnemyMine: In 1930 joined forces with Fantomius to oust mayor Flintheart Glomgold and recover at least part of the money he stole from the people of Duckburg. |
| 315 | * {{Expy}}: As well Fantomius is an expy of Diabolik, Pinko is a comedy version of Inspector Ginko (Diabolik's antagonist). WordOfGod says that he is inspired also to police commissioner Juve, Fantomas's antagonist. |
| 316 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: He is the Grandfather of the Pinko policeman shown in the story ''Paperinik e il ritorno a Villa Rosa'' (Duck Avenger and the return to Villa Rose) who several years later will tray to arrest Paperinik. |
| 317 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: He's a genuinely good cop. It's just that Fantomius is ''way'' better. |
| 318 | * SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: The detective Pinko is present in mostly of the gentleman burglar adventures, and of course during the stories he was never able to definitely arrest his enemy Fantomius. Qualifies for this because he doesn't know why Fantomius steals - and the one time he knew (the giant ape that would end up inspiring ''Film/{{King Kong|1933}}'') he flat-out admitted he approved while doing exactly nothing to stop him. [[EnemyMine He's also willing to join forces with him to deal with a threat to Duckburg that the law was powerless against]]. |

| 334 | * FlirtingUnderFire: The Chihuahua-Beagle couple refuses to leave any moment together unused for flirting, even when their respective teams are in the middle of a standoff. |

| 343 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reginella.jpg]] |
| 344 | -> Debut: ''Paperino e l'avventura sottomarina'' (''Donald Duck and the Underwater Kingdom''), (1972) |
| 345 | |
| 346 | Reginella is the Queen of an alien civilization from the planet Pacificus and a love interest to Donald. |
| 347 | ---- |
| 348 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Whatever you do, do ''not'' endanger her people or Donald. For the former, she's willing to unleash all of Donald's wrath, and for both, when pushed enough, she can use her immense psychic powers to terrifying effect. Then there's the time SpacePirates attacked Pacificus and [[TakenForGranite she turned their leader to stone]]... |
| 349 | * BreakTheCutie: The troubled romance with Donald marks the character of Reginella, who always appears sad and melancholic, with a soul full of hopes and dreams, that every time are broken by the Dean. He has the sad task of reminding his sovereign of the problems of the state, forcing her to destroy all fantasies for the future. |
| 350 | * TheChessmaster: In her third story she easily manipulates the evil Bingo to have a chance to summon Donald. |
| 351 | * TheCutie: She is very short, but at same time full of grace and beauty. Combined with her nice personality, is not a surprise that her subjects (and Donald) adore her. |
| 352 | * DarkIsNotEvil: She wears a black robe with red border, but is also very nice. |
| 353 | * DeathGlare: Whenever pushed too far she gives an impressive one. It's the only warning whoever got her mad has before she unleashes her wrath and the fool is turned into an emotional wreck - if they're lucky. |
| 354 | * GodzillaThreshold: Two of them: |
| 355 | ** Whenever Pacificus is threatened in a way her people's psychic powers cannot solve, she summons Donald in the full knowledge he'll unleash a tremendous amount of violence on the enemy, as she knows it's far better to risk her people's pacifist ways and a(nother) heartbreak rather than have the certainty of their enslavement or worse. |
| 356 | ** Has enormous psychic powers that would allow her to take out the threats to her planet with ease, but the strain is so bad that neither her nor her predecessors (who had the same powers) didn't dare to use them until her fourth story, when the very survival of her people was threatened-and fully expected to die. While she survived, a second use made her comatose. |
| 357 | * TheHighQueen: She is the Queen and is beloved by her citizens. She has a deep sense of duty and responsibility towards her people. She sacrifices repeatedly her personal happiness with Donald in order to ensure the safety of her fellow citizens, even sacrificing herself to defeat the invaders of her land. |
| 358 | -->"Sometimes a crown weighs too much." |
| 359 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: Well, Donald is not so "huge", but she is much shorter than him. |
| 360 | * JerkassBall: |
| 361 | ** In the first story, Reginella's good nature does not stop her from brainwashing Donald and making him forget about his past so he can stay with her and her people. |
| 362 | ** In the third story finding out she has to separate her from Donald again prompts her to have one of her subjects bring him back to Earth fully knowing he'll return old, just because she's furious at the separation happening again. Mitigated by the fact she accepted only a volunteer who fully knew the price. |
| 363 | * {{Ladyella}}: Regina + Ella. |
| 364 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: The forgetfulness potion is her solution to keep secrets. Her advisors even used it on ''Reginella herself and Donald'' in "The Terrible Vampirione", as they feared their memories of each other would distract her from her duties and endanger her recovery, and [[spoiler:they took it again willingly after recovering their memories, as the sadness from being unable to stay with him and [[FisherKing her psychic influence on the weather]] had started causing floods]]. |
| 365 | * MagicalGirlfriend: An alien queen with psychic powers who is in love with ordinary Earth-duck Donald. |
| 366 | * MeaningfulName: In italian her name means "little queen". |
| 367 | * NiceGirl: Most of the time, she'll be just so nice you can't help but adore her. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Just don't push her too far]]. |
| 368 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: After "The Queen Outside Time", events make her meet Scrooge, the Nephews, Grandma Duck, Gyro and Fethry, with whom she's connected through Donald, though only Scrooge knew beforehand. [[spoiler:Scrooge realized that Reginella had lost her memories of Donald and guessed there was a good reason, avoiding to ruin their sacrifice, but Fethry ended up leaving a picture of him]]. |
| 369 | * PositionOfLiteralPower: As the monarch of Pacificus she's much sturdier and has far greater psychic powers than her subjects, both abilities explicitely attributed to her being the queen. |
| 370 | * PsychicPowers: Like her people she has psychic "disapproval" powers that can neutralize enemies, only much stronger-enough that, should she use them beyond the normal collective use, the strain could ''kill'' her. |
| 371 | ** PsychicLink: She established one with Donald during the events of "Reginella's Return", allowing him to know she was in danger during "Reginella's Wedding" and prepare to rescue her, and it's so powerful it resists [[spoiler:''[[LaserGuidedAmnesia them erasing their memories of each other]]'' Sadly, [[StarCrossedLovers being forced apart]] with the link active was turning her into a threat for Pacificus, so at the end of "The Queen Outside Time" they had to break it, alongside erasing their memories of each other for good]]. |
| 372 | ** FisherKing: Her psychic powers are so powerful that, when extremely sad, she causes her own GrayRainOfDepression-on a ''planetary scale''. [[spoiler:This being the threat that forced her and Donald to break their psychic link, as even without remembering him their separation was making her extremely sad the entire time and actively starting to flood it]]. |
| 373 | * SequelHook: Done fairly often in her stories: |
| 374 | ** In "The Terran Threat" she left him a starmap, showing how the sky would look the next time they'll be able to meet. The sky looks just like that at the start of "The Terrible Vampirione" |
| 375 | ** In "The Queen Outside Time", [[spoiler:archaeologists find Reginella's prehistoric statue, providing a mean for Donald to remember her]]. |
| 376 | ** In "The Mirror of Smiles", [[spoiler:before leaving Pacificus Fethry drops a picture of him and Donald-and Reginella picks it up]]. |
| 377 | * ShoutOut: Her original appearance is inspired by ''WesternAnimation/{{Calimero}}'' (at the time, protagonist of some old commercials on 1963). |
| 378 | * StarCrossedLovers: With Donald. They love each other, but their different responsibilities keep them apart. |
| 379 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: Her subjects just adore her. It's actually a plot point in "The Queen Outside Time", as [[spoiler:nobody saw the Grand Councillor's betrayal coming, and his one accomplice ''still'' tries to give Reginella a good time in her exile in the past (thus allowing Donald and the First Cerusic to track her down and save her)]]. |

| 384 | -> Debut: ''Paperino e l'avventura sottomarina'' (''Donald Duck in the Underwater Adventure''), (1972) |
| 385 | |
| 386 | Reginella's subjects. |
| 387 | ---- |
| 388 | * FisherKing: To a much smaller extent than Reginella, as they can't cause non-stop rains... Just make them worse when their temper grows bad. And they're all meteoropathic. |
| 389 | * HumanAliens: With one exception they look undistinguishable from the usual Earth ducks, and the one exception is a dogface. |
| 390 | * PerfectPacifistPeople: The citizens of Pacificus disapprove the physical violence and most of earthling's bad habits. Indeed, in the first story, Donald (initially acclaimed as a consort of Reginella and future king) is kicked out when he start to act too cowardly forces the poor queen to understand that Donald does not belong to their own race. |
| 391 | ** In the story "Paperino e il matrimonio di Reginella" (Donald Duck and Reginella's marriage), they got enslaved by the army of the evil Bingo. Donald comes to help and kick out Bingo and his army. Donald Duck is acclaimed as a hero and he can be together with Reginella. But Donald's action inspired violence in the inhabitants of Pacificus, especially to the young ones, who start to play with fake wooden-made rifles. So Reginella decides sadly to send Donald Duck back to home while he was sleeping to preserve her people's purity. |
| 392 | ** TechnicalPacifist: In "Paperino e il matrimonio di Reginella" the one chosen to go and bring back Donald cannot defend himself when Bingo's soldiers are about to stop him... But [[StopHittingYourself he can extend his arm with a closed fist and let his would-be captor run into it nose-first]]. |
| 393 | * PlanetSpaceship: They live on one. It has to choose between pre-determined routes, but is rather fast. |
| 394 | * PsychicPowers: They have psychic "disapproval" powers, used to take down unruly people and external invaders down non-violently with cold disapproval. While the powers of one Pacifican are weak, in groups, and especially with Reginella's lead, they can easily turn away large invasion forces. |
| 395 | * SpaceAgeStasis: {{Averted}}: their technology has considerably improved between the first and the sixth story, giving them longer-ranged ships, devices that allow them to survive outside their specific time dimension at will (and can double as {{Time Machine}}s with a small modification), and the ability to communicate between Earth and their homeworld. |
| 396 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Two of them: |
| 397 | ** The effectiveness of their psychic "disapproval" powers heavily depends on their will and Reginella's lead. If one is missing, they're helpless: |
| 398 | *** In "Donald and Reginella's Wedding" Bingo's army invaded while Reginella was still stranded on Earth, and the Pacificus people was unable to stop them. By the time Reginella came back, their will to resist had been severely weakened and they couldn't resist beyond summoning Donald. |
| 399 | *** In "Reginella and the Terran Threat" the Terran billionaire, facing the Senate's disapproval of his plan to build a vacation village for wealthy people on Pacificus, dropped presents on the planet to wear down the people, who, unused to luxury items, couldn't muster the will to chase out the billionaire and his workers. |
| 400 | ** The people of Pacificus live in a different time dimension. While Donald and other Terrans can step in areas with their time dimension without effects beyond [[YearInsideHourOutside a day inside being equal to a second outside]], Pacificus people who step in the Terran time dimension grow old extremely fast, and one of them needs life energy from the ''entire people'' to survive more than a few hours. They later invent a device that allows them to survive. |
| 401 | *** Reginella is a partial exception: she too needs a life energy transfer to go outside, but it's much smaller and didn't wear off (in "The Queen Outside Time" she was given the above-mentioned device, but it later turned out she didn't need it). |

| 426 | A pig-faced Terran billionaire who nearly brought Pacificus to ruin through his greed. |
| 427 | ---- |
| 428 | * BadBoss: His employees are terrified of him firing them for minor infractions. |
| 429 | * CapitalismIsBad: He goes to Pacificus after discovering that [[YearInsideHourOutside time goes much faster on Pacificus]] to build a vacation village for wealthy people who don't want to miss time on their work... And through it he not only upended Pacifican society, he almost ''caused the extinction of the Pacificus people'' (the latter by accident). |
| 430 | * ConspicuousConsumption: Faced with the Pacificus' psychic powers he broke their will to get him away by introducing them to this concept. |
| 431 | * FatalFlaw: His immense greed, that brought him to mess with Reginella and forced her to cross the GodzillaThreshold. |
| 432 | * {{Foil}}: To Scrooge, as both are billionaires who have at some point tried to establish some business relationship with the people of Pacificus but acted in diametrically opposite ways: |
| 433 | ** The Pig went to Pacificus as soon as he accidentally learned of its existence and that time goes faster there, while Scrooge, after being told of it by Donald, waited for years until Reginella sent out a message to anyone willing to trade; |
| 434 | ** The Pig came in to build his vacation village and tried to exploit the locals, while Scrooge offered a fair bargain both times he visited; |
| 435 | ** When the Pig was refused he tried to use force to impose his will, and when he was chased out through the Pacificus' Disapproval power he decided to break their will to oppose him, while Scrooge, when his bargain during his second visit was rejected he tried to bargain and then, when told in no uncertain terms they'd never sell him what he wanted, accepted it, his only complaint being directed to himself not telling what he wanted from the start and thus wasting time; |
| 436 | ** Both have introduced extremely disruptive influence to Pacificus' culture and a deadly element, but where the Pig acted out of greed when he introduced consumism to a culture that had no concept of owning useless things just for kicks and accidentally brought a deadly disease, Scrooge was instead sending [[OneManArmy Donald]] to help in a situation where the potential societal disruption caused by his violence was the better alternative - and the first time the threat Scrooge sent Donald to deal with was the Pig billionaire himself. |
| 437 | * HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Almost: Donald went to Pacificus to deal with him by buying a ticket on the Pig's own tourist spaceship, and the only reason he didn't ruin his business was that the disease the Pig introduced to Pacificus forced Reginella to use harsher and faster-acting means. |
| 438 | * MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: He had no idea his men or the tourists would accidentally introduce a disease that threatened the very life of the Pacificus. |
| 439 | * NoNameGiven: His name is never revealed. |
