Darkwing Duck | Vol. 03

 

The 3rd volume of the 1991 series.


While pursuing the Fearsome Five (and therefore escaping the Muddlefoots and their boring Pelican's Island-themed birthday party for Honker), Darkwing is thrown into a giant cake - which serves as the universal portal between his world and the Negaverse where everything is the extreme opposite of his world and Negaduck is supreme ruler, so Darkwing decides to use the Negaverse's doppelgängers, the "Friendly Four" to change things a bit, which Negaduck doesn't like.

Launchpad gains psychic powers, but has trouble controlling them. F.O.W.L. agent, Major Synapse (John Stephenson), steals S.H.U.S.H.'s Nora Ray, and uses it on his underlings (Danny Mann and Teresa Ganzel) to give them super brain powers.

Honker notices a villainess named Melody "Splatter" Phoenix (Dani Staahl in this epidode) making her way through the museum by way of the paintings. When Honker tries to tell people about it, no one believes him. Gosalyn gets involved and ends up stuck in a painting.

Negaduck, disguised, frames Darkwing for a series of crimes. Thanks to S.H.U.S.H. director J. Gander Hooter knowing that Darkwing is innocent (as Darkwing was with him when the crime spree began), he arranges for the hero to use an experimental S.H.U.S.H. design, to go into hiding, which ends up causing him to spontaneously change into whomever he looks at.

When Comet Guy returns, he tells Darkwing he needs him back on his planet. Darkwing thinks that he's going to have to save the planet, until he finds out that everyone on the planet is a hero, and they need him as their "ordinary guy," since the last one (Ron Palillo. His disguised voice was done by Jim Cummings) left. They want Darkwing to be their 'damsel in distress,' so that they'll have someone to rescue. But Darkwing gets fed up, so he tries to turn Comet Guy into a villain.

When Quackerware comes to life, S.H.U.S.H. thinks Herb Muddlefoot is behind it!! Drake investigates by joining in on Herb's Quackerware sales route.

Set in the past, this episode recounts the story of Darkwing Doubloon's adventures against the evil pirate Negaduck and his (four-man-strong) crew of villainous miscreants on the high seas.

THE CHRISTMAS EPISODE! A crowd of pushy holiday shoppers rub Bushroot the wrong way. He decides to ruin Christmas by taking control of all of St. Canard's Christmas trees.

Megavolt's latest device accidentally transports him and Darkwing into the real world, where Darkwing Duck is only a cartoon.

Drake Mallard disappears and it’s up to Gosalyn (posing as the "Crimson Quackette") to find him.

Honker's parents go missing and all clues point to the mysterious town of Twin Beaks where a mutated alien race of cabbages have begun their conquest of Earth from this unseemly town.

Bushroot creates a new experimental fertilizer that causes plants to grow large and strong.

Darkwing’s refusal of Morgana’s suggestion of help, makes her very angry, which Negaduck sees as an opportunity.

Darkwing is killed and Megavolt gets the fame for it. DW won't believe he's dead until the Grim Reaper is after him. At the end, it was just a dream.

A news program reveals Darkwing Duck's identity as Launchpad. Tuskerninni decides to use the revelation to his own advantage, but fails when the real Darkwing Duck gets in the way.

After a television program shows that Darkwing as a poor reputation with the public, Gosalyn decides that Darkwing needs an image change. Meanwhile Negaduck plans to use this as his own advantage.

A nefarious criminal (Jonathan Harris) from the past returns, to profit by auctioning off a complete list of all of S.H.U.S.H.'s secret agents. J. Gander teams up Darkwing with the legendary Derek Blunt (Peter Renaday) to intercept the documents before they fall into the wrong hands.

To prevent the invention of the yo-yo, Quackerjack travels back to the medieval land of Canardia. Darkwing and Launchpad follow Quackerjack -- and find Herb and Binkie as King and Queen of Canardia. Posing as the king's advisor, the demented toymaker convicts Darkwing as a warlock.

During a battle between Darkwing, Megavolt and Quackerjack, Gosalyn ends up aboard the villains' Time Top, just before it starts up and takes them to the future. There, Gosalyn finds out that Darkwing has become Darkwarrior Duck, who enforces the law with an iron fist.

Darkwing is constantly getting stressed, so he goes to a stress-free clinic, and they brainwash him. Now he is too calm, not even Gosalyn destroying the house can get him mad. When Megavolt and QuackerJack start a fire that soon starts to spread throughout the whole city, Launchpad and Gosalyn have to try to get DW out of his repressed state.

J. Gander asks DW to train some of S.H.U.S.H.'s agents. That does not go over well with Agent Gryzlikoff, who joins F.O.W.L. as a double agent. Steelbeak sets a trap for the newly titled "Darkwing Squad" while Gryzlikoff faces off against Darkwing.

When Binkie Muddlefoot gets hit on the head by a bowling ball, her inner "little hero" escapes and causes her to become the Canardian Guardian. Her endless quest for safety endangers the life of Darkwing as he tries once again to capture Megavolt.
