Who is Darkwing Duck?

Patient:
Darkwing Duck's real identity is Drake Mallard of St. Canard, a city similar to Duckburg but with more of a Gotham City flavor.

Bio:
Mallard takes on the appearance of not only a fighter but an intellectual, and introspective citizen of St. Canard. He says things like, " The bad part of town... where the sun never shines, where brutality is a way of life, and where, uh, people just rea... they're really not very nice at all. Really."

According to fans and scholarly observers of this Disney hero, Mallard's crime-fighting image is based off of D.C. Comics' Crimson Avenger and Batman. Mallard has a grappling gun, an aircraft called the Thunderquack, and a motorcycle known as the Ratcatcher. He loves solving mysteries using his detective skills such as magnifying glasses and deductive reasoning; thus enforcing the ideals of D.C.'s audience.

Symptoms:
- patient suffers from over confidence, selfishness, and arrogance.
- patient has an uncanny ability throughout the series to know exactly who is behind what crime.
- patient tries to be professional even though he himself is unprofessional.

Final Diagnosis:
The hero is more incompetent than he should be. It is apparent that throughout the series he is only able to complete his missions with the help of others.
