REAL NAME: Drake Mallard
OCCUPATION: Non-super-powered hero, single dad
ANALYSIS: Being the show's title character also made Darkwing Duck the most well-developed. He's sort of a combination of James Bond and Batman, a full-time super hero, part-time secret agent, double-time egomaniac. Every super-hero has their weakness, and Darkwing's achilles heel is his gargantuan yet increadibly fragile ego. Often, DW ends up making things even worse before he ultimately solves anything. Still he is quite intelligent with brilliant analytical abilities. In addition to this, he is also a kung-fu master, which comes in handy against larger foes.
Despite his many flaws, DW is a loving caregiver to his daughter, Gosalyn, and is even a bit of a pushover. He consistenly orders her not to tag along on his adventures. She then invariably comes along anyway in nearly every episode, and is often placed in danger because of it. Darkwing and Gosalyn actually function something like a super-hero training situation. Often, Darkwing can't solve the crime without her.
