{{Short description|none}} This article includes a list of characters from the [[Disney Television Animation|Disney]] series ''[[Darkwing Duck]]''.
==Main== ===Darkwing Duck=== [[File:DarkwingDuck.jpg|thumb|upright|Darkwing Duck]] '''Drake Mallard''' / '''Darkwing Duck''' (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]] in the original series, [[Chris Diamantopoulos]] in the 2017 ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' reboot) is an average citizen by day and St. Canard's resident superhero by night.<ref name="super fowl">{{cite news|title= Disney's 'Darkwing Duck' enlists a super fowl in fight against crime; ABC telecasts Easter Parade|work= The Los Angeles Times|date= March 31, 1991|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-03-31-tv-2594-story.html|access-date=June 8, 2014|first=Lauren|last=Lipton}}</ref> He possesses a mix of genuine [[altruism]] and gigantic [[narcissism]] – two drives that constantly clash during his adventures.<ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)">{{cite episode|title=Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 2, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=20}}</ref> Darkwing's origins are rather fuzzy. During his childhood and teenage years, Drake was a complete dork,<ref name="Paraducks">{{cite episode|title=Paraducks|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=September 19, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=11}}</ref><ref name="Clash Reunion">{{cite episode|title=Clash Reunion|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=November 14, 1992|season=2 (ABC)|number=88}}</ref> but by his high school days, he had already developed an obsession with crime-fighting.<ref name="Clash Reunion"/> However, he frequently claims to have become a superhero after his teenage years and has operated as Darkwing Duck for an unspecified amount of time. Furthermore, he was at least partially inspired by S.H.U.S.H. agent Derek Blunt and trained in martial arts by Goose Lee. In his earliest days of crime-fighting, he was more focused on the headlines from his career, to the point where he laments having no life outside his showboating and no friends to turn to outside of Launchpad McQuack, Gosalyn, and Honker, who help keep him grounded.<ref name="Darkly Dawns the Duck (Part 2)">{{cite episode|title=Darkly Dawns the Duck (Part 2)|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=September 6, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=2}}</ref> The latter in particular proves to be vital to him, as Gosalyn being hurt or worse is one of his biggest fears and he became a ruthless dictator in an alternate timeline where he lost her.<ref name="Time and Punishment">{{cite episode|title=Time and Punishment|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=February 27, 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=52}}</ref> His two recurring catchphrases are "I am the terror that flaps in the night" (followed by an improvised [[metaphor]] before he gives his name), and the battle cry "let's get dangerous". Darkwing Duck's costume, gas gun, and flashy introductions are reminiscent of pulp heroes like [[The Shadow]], [[Batman]] and [[The Green Hornet]], as well as [[Zorro]].
Because of loose [[Continuity (fiction)|continuity]] in the series, as well as Darkwing's self-aggrandizing habits, he has multiple origin stories as to how and why he became Darkwing Duck – including the following:
* "Paraducks", in which the young Drake is inspired by his own time-travelling future self.<ref name="Paraducks"/> * "Clash Reunion", in which he wears a random disguise to defend his high school prom from Megavolt.<ref name="Clash Reunion"/> * "The Secret Origins of Darkwing Duck", a [[Superman]] parody that is not meant to be taken as his true origin. Throughout the episode, it is even suggested that it is just nonsense being spouted by a future version of Drake to make his origin seem cooler, though it is later stated that the "myth" has "some basis in reality".<ref name="The Secret Origins of Darkwing Duck">{{cite episode|title=The Secret Origins of Darkwing Duck|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=November 13, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=33}}</ref> * "A Star is Scorned", a "what if" episode portraying Darkwing's life as an act for a television series.<ref name="A Star is Scorned">{{cite episode|title=A Star is Scorned|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=May 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=60}}</ref>
In the 2017 ''DuckTales'' series, Drake Mallard is an upcoming actor set to star in a ''Darkwing Duck'' movie who grew up watching the series of the same name and views Jim Starling, the original Darkwing (voiced by Cummings, Darkwing's original voice actor), as his hero. When Starling goes crazy after finding out the film was not going to star him, Mallard takes it upon himself to be the hero and save the day. After the film is cancelled, Mallard is encouraged by Launchpad to become Darkwing Duck in real life.<ref name="The Duck Knight Returns!">{{cite episode|title=The Duck Knight Returns!|series=DuckTales|airdate=2019-05-17|season=2|number=39}}</ref>

He is Darkwing's self-proclaimed biggest fan,<ref name="Darkly Dawns the Duck (Part 1)">{{cite episode|title=Darkly Dawns the Duck (Part 1)|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=September 6, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=1}}</ref> even spending a year designing and building the ''Thunderquack'' aircraft out of [[fanboy]] urges.<ref name="Darkly Dawns the Duck (Part 2)"/>

===Gosalyn Mallard=== '''Gosalyn Mallard''' (birth name Waddlemeyer) (voiced by [[Christine Cavanaugh]] in the original series, [[Stephanie Beatriz]] in the 2017 ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' reboot) is Drake Mallard's 9-year-old adoptive daughter and an unstoppable bundle of energy and spunk.<ref name="Getting Antsy">{{cite episode|title=Getting Antsy|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=September 10, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=4}}</ref> Her grandfather, Professor Waddlemeyer, was a famous scientist who was murdered by Taurus Bulba's underlings.<ref name="Darkly Dawns the Duck (Part 1)"/> She is an occasional crime fighter, having gone by codenames such as the "'''Crimson Quackette'''",<ref name="Dances with Bigfoot">{{cite episode|title=Dances with Bigfoot|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=February 6, 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=43}}</ref> "'''Yucky Duck'''",<ref name="Slime Okay, You're Okay">{{cite episode|title=Slime Okay, You're Okay|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=May 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=57}}</ref> the "'''Quiverwing Quack'''"<ref name="The Quiverwing Quack">{{cite episode|title=The Quiverwing Quack|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=May 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=61}}</ref><ref name="Paint Misbehavin'">{{cite episode|title=Paint Misbehavin' |series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 24, 1992|season=2 (ABC)|number=85}}</ref> and "Gosmoduck" in the [[Boom! Studios]] comics, though she often gets involved in Darkwing's affairs as herself.
Gosalyn's Negaverse counterpart appears in the episode "Life, the Negaverse and Everything" as an extremely sweet, sentimental, and compliant little girl with similar morality as her "prime" counterpart. Despite being an [[Parallel universes in fiction|alternate reality]] version of his adopted daughter, Drake became protective of the Negaverse Gosalyn upon learning her guardian is Negaduck and ensured the Friendly Four could take care of her before returning to his own reality.<ref name="Life, the Negaverse and Everything"/>
Gosalyn also appears in the ''DuckTales'' reboot, re-imagined as a young duck with Latin American roots.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/188584023316/can-you-tell-us-anything-about-gosalyn|title=Frank Angones and the Suspenders of Disbelief|website=Frank Angones and the Suspenders of Disbelief|date=October 2019 }}</ref> She makes her first appearance in the one-hour special "Let's Get Dangerous!",<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.etonline.com/stephanie-beatriz-and-james-monroe-iglehart-drop-by-ducktales-darkwing-episode-first-look-exclusive|title=Stephanie Beatriz and James Monroe Iglehart Drop by 'DuckTales' Darkwing Episode: First Look (Exclusive)|website=Entertainment Tonight Online}}</ref> which incorporates the origin story of her original counterpart.<ref name="Let's Get Dangerous!">{{cite episode|title=Let's Get Dangerous!|series=DuckTales|airdate=2020-10-19|season=3|number=59}}</ref>
==The Muddlefoots== The '''Muddlefoots''' are Drake, Launchpad, and Gosalyn's next-door neighbors, Drake finding them irritating due to their intrusive ways. The Mallards and Launchpad usually manage to tolerate them and even grudgingly like them, though not nearly as much as the Muddlefoots imagine.
In the episode "Life, the Negaverse and Everything", their evil Negaverse counterparts serve Negaduck in subjugating their version of St. Canard until they are defeated by Darkwing Duck and the Friendly Four.<ref name="Life, the Negaverse and Everything"/>
===Herb Muddlefoot=== '''Herbert "Herb" Muddlefoot, Sr.''' (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]] impersonating [[Andy Devine]]) is the father of Tank and Honker Muddlefoot and the husband of Binkie Muddlefoot. He is a brash, loudmouthed, overweight duck who is often clueless about events around him and works as a "[[Tupperware|Quackerware]]" salesman. Despite his views on the Muddlefoots and impatience with Herb in particular, Drake has worked well with the latter on occasion, though due to his oblivious nature, Herb views Drake as his best friend.<ref name="You Sweat Your Life">{{cite episode|title=You Sweat Your Life|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=September 30, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=18}}</ref><ref name="The Merchant of Menace">{{cite episode|title=The Merchant of Menace|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=November 30, 1991|season=1 (ABC)|number=78}}</ref> In the episode "A Star is Scorned", Herb and Binkie Muddlefoot are revealed to be actors who have to act out of character as ruthless business tycoons due to a hidden clause in their acting contracts that says "The Studio is always right"!<ref name="A Star is Scorned"/>
===Binkie Muddlefoot=== '''Binkie Muddlefoot''' (voiced by [[Susan Tolsky]]) is a [[yellow canary]] and parody of 1950s housewives who is invariably overbearing yet ditzy. Competent in housework, she often serves as a foil to Herb's fun. Throughout the series, it is suggested she and Herb are destined souls, since there have been many incarnations of them seen in various timelines and dimensions and they almost always find each other and fall in love.<ref name="Life, the Negaverse and Everything"/><ref name="Darkwing Doubloon">{{cite episode|title=Darkwing Doubloon|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=December 16, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=40}}</ref><ref name="Quack of Ages">{{cite episode|title=Quack of Ages|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=February 26, 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=51}}</ref>

Tank's Negaverse counterpart appears in the episode "Life, the Negaverse and Everything" with a personality similar to the "prime" Honker, albeit with more confidence, and the only member of the Negaverse Muddlefoots who does not serve Negaduck.<ref name="Life, the Negaverse and Everything"/>
===Honker Muddlefoot=== '''Herbert "Honker" Muddlefoot, Jr.''' (voiced by [[Katie Leigh]]) is the youngest Muddlefoot son and Gosalyn's best friend.<ref name="Jurassic Jumble">{{cite episode|title=Jurassic Jumble|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 10, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=25}}</ref> In contrast to his brother, Honker takes after his mother. Unlike the rest of his family, Honker is an intelligent individual who demonstrates a mastery of sciences more akin to a laboratory professor than an elementary school student. He is also one of the few characters to know Darkwing's secret identity, though it is unknown how long he has known or how the discovery was made. Unlike Launchpad, who refers to Drake as DW in public, Honker makes sure to address him as "Mr. Mallard". He also calls Darkwing "sir" to make sure he does not slip up. He is also the only member of the Muddlefoots who Darkwing genuinely likes and tolerates most of the time, though he has been annoyed by the youth's stuttering.
==Allies== ===The Justice Ducks=== The '''Justice Ducks''' are a team of superheroes formed in the two-part episode "Just Us Justice Ducks" to help Darkwing fend off the Fearsome Five.<ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)"/><ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 2)">{{cite episode|title=Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 2)|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 3, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=21}}</ref>

====Morgan Macawber==== '''Morgana Macawber''' (voiced by [[Kath Soucie]]) is a sorceress duck who was originally a supervillain, but later reforms and becomes Darkwing's girlfriend. While she is very powerful, Morgana has trouble using her magic. Introduced in the episode "Fungus Amongus", Darkwing first meets her while she is serving as the [[President (corporate title)|president]] and [[Chairman|chairperson]] of a mushroom-producing company that steals pizza toppings in a plot to take control of the pizza industry before she eventually defects and helps Darkwing foil the plot.<ref name="Fungus Amongus">{{cite episode|title=Fungus Amongus|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=September 28, 1991|season=1 (ABC)|number=69}}</ref> In "Ghoul of My Dreams", she joins forces with Nodoff to put St. Canard's citizens to sleep and rob them to pay off her student loans, but she reforms in the end and helps Darkwing defeat Nodoff.<ref name="Ghoul of My Dreams">{{cite episode|title=Ghoul of My Dreams|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 31, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=30}}</ref> In the Boom!

====Neptunia==== '''Neptunia''' (voiced by [[Susan Silo]]) is a mutated anthropomorphic fish and self-appointed protector of the sea. She uses a shell as a horn to command the non-anthropomorphic creatures of the ocean to do her bidding and is often seen with a giant octopus named Hal.<ref name="Something Fishy">{{cite episode|title=Something Fishy|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=October 12, 1991|season=1 (ABC)|number=71}}</ref><ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)"/> Introduced in the episode "Something Fishy", she was once a normal fish until radioactive waste mutated her into her current form. She becomes fed up with sea pollution and attempts to flood St. Canard until it becomes part of her ocean domain. However, she eventually has a change of heart and reverses the flooding after Launchpad convinces her that not all land-dwellers are polluters.<ref name="Something Fishy"/> Like Morgana, she reforms and becomes a hero.<ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)"/><ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 2)"/>
====Stegmutt==== '''Stegmutt''' (voiced by [[Joey Camen]]) is a dimwitted janitor duck who the mad scientist Doctor Fossil transformed into a humanoid ''[[Stegosaurus]]'' to serve as his minion in the episode "Jurassic Jumble". He initially battles Darkwing, but with Gosalyn and Honker's help, Stegmutt learns of Dr. Fossil's evil intentions and turns against him. While Fossil's other victims are returned to normal, Stegmutt chooses to remain a dinosaur for unknown reasons and goes on to join the Justice Ducks.<ref name="Jurassic Jumble"/><ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)"/><ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 2)"/>
===S.H.U.S.H.=== '''S.H.U.S.H.''' (expanded name unknown) is an intelligence agency that deals with international affairs that regular authorities cannot. Darkwing Duck often works freelance for them, though he is not an official employee. The organization is a parody of Marvel Comics' [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]]{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}
In the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]], a new version of S.H.U.S.H. appears in flashbacks.

====J. Gander Hoover==== '''J. Gander Hooter''' (voiced by Danny Mann) is an elderly [[goose]] and the head director of S.H.U.S.H. who regards Darkwing very highly and often calls him in on cases where he feels that a certain element of surprise that only Darkwing is able to create is needed.<ref name="Dirty Money">{{cite episode|title=Dirty Money|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=September 13, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=7}}</ref><ref name="Heavy Mental">{{cite episode|title=Heavy Mental|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=November 21, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=37}}</ref><ref name="In Like Blunt">{{cite episode|title=In Like Blunt|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=February 24, 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=50}}</ref><ref name="The Darkwing Squad">{{cite episode|title=The Darkwing Squad|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=April 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=54}}</ref><br>The character's name is a play on [[J.

====Vladimir Grizzlifoff==== '''Vladimir Goudenov Grizzlikof''' (voiced by [[Ron Feinberg]]) is a Russian [[grizzly bear]] and S.H.U.S.H.'s top agent. He is depicted as very strong and adheres to S.H.U.S.H. standard procedure closely. He and Darkwing have a longstanding rivalry which stems from Grizzlikof's by-the-book procedure compared to Darkwing's instinctual and spontaneous fighting style, though their relationship slowly becomes a mutual one.<ref name="Dirty Money"/><ref name="The Darkwing Squad"/>
====Dr. Sara Bellum==== '''Dr. Sara Bellum''' (voiced by [[Jodi Carlisle]]) is a S.H.U.S.H. scientist who is unnervingly enthusiastic about her projects, to the extent that she will risk endangering herself and others in the course of her experiments.

===Other heroes=== ====Comet Guy==== '''Comet Guy''' (voiced by [[William Callaway]]) is an alien superhero from the planet Mertz who resembles a physically exaggerated human being. Comet Guy possesses numerous superpowers including throwing fireballs, freeze vision, flight, super strength, and super speed.

Like Darkwing, Negaduck is narcissistic and normally has no special powers or abilities, instead relying on his intellect, physical prowess, intimidation, and gadgets. However, he can also disguise himself as Darkwing.<ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)"/><ref name="Disguise the Limit">{{cite episode|title=Disguise the Limit|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=November 26, 1991|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=38}}</ref> Unlike Darkwing, Negaduck is cruel, ruthless and has no qualms about hurting others to get what he wants, which is primarily great wealth and authority over the world. As such, he serves as the Fearsome Five's leader as he intimidates them into agreeing with what he says.<ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)"/> Despite viewing them as weaklings,<ref name="Just Us Justice Ducks (Part 1)"/> he would later use a magical gem to steal their powers and transform himself into '''Mega Negaduck'''.<ref name="Jail Bird">{{cite episode|title=Jail Bird|series=Darkwing Duck|airdate=May 1992|season=1 (Disney Afternoon)|number=62}}</ref> In the episode "Life, the Negaverse and Everything", Darkwing discovers his evil counterpart rules over the Negaverse's version of St. Canard.<ref name="Life, the Negaverse and Everything"/> In the comic story "The Duck Knight Returns", he discovers Darkwing's secret identity and attacks him at his home, an event that causes the superhero to retire for a year.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} Negaduck would later join forces with [[Magica De Spell]] to ruin Darkwing's reputation using brainwashed alternate reality versions of both himself and Darkwing.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} In the comic story "Crisis on Infinite Darkwings", Megavolt's tron-splitter is used to reduce Negaduck to several microscopic particles of good and evil,{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} though by the story "Orange is the New Purple", he manages to reconstitute himself, take over St. Canard Penitentiary, and trap Darkwing inside with every supervillain he helped imprison.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} One source of rage for Negaduck is that on a [[Public enemy|Public Enemies]] list he is Public Enemy No 2 {behind Dr Slug; Megavolt is Public Enemy No 3<ref>The Quiverring Quack:</ref>
In the 2017 ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' series, Negaduck was once '''Jim Starling''', an actor who portrayed Darkwing Duck in the original series of the same name who was also voiced by Jim Cummings.<ref name="Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!">{{cite episode|title=Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!|series=DuckTales|airdate=2018-05-11|season=1|number=11}}</ref> Wanting to regain his fame, he tries to replace Drake Mallard, the star of a film adaptation of the series, but ends up going insane and attacks the studio. Mallard and Launchpad attempt to stop him, though Starling is apparently killed saving them. Unbeknownst to them, Starling survived; vowing revenge with his outfit now sporting Negaduck-like colors.<ref name="The Duck Knight Returns!"/> Cummings reprised his role for this appearance.
=====Negaduck (Negatron version)===== Negaduck (negatron version) (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]) is the physical embodiment of Darkwing Duck's negative traits made entirely of negatrons created after Megavolt's tron-splitter device split Darkwing's positrons and negatrons. While he is unrelated to the Negaverse version of Negaduck, like him, this version is similarly evil, malicious, sadistic, and often uses weapons to terrorize people and commit crimes. He later becomes galvanized into a powerful being of negative energy, gaining the ability to fire destructive negatronic energy beams. However, he is forced to fight his similarly galvanized positronic counterpart Posiduck, whom he is later re-fused with to restore the original Darkwing.<ref name="Negaduck"/>
