Biography[]

  • Due to the character of Donald Duck having a long and storied history unrelated to superhero fiction, this article will focus primarily on Donald's career in this identity.

Donald Duck, a duck living in Duckberg, began his career as a superhero after he inherited an old villa outside of town. In fact, Donald would learn it was intended for his cousin Gladstone Gander, the world's luckiest duck, but was content to keep it for himself. While investigating the estate, Donald would learn that an earlier owner who was of his bloodline was a Robin Hood-esque hero thief known as Fantomallard. Using a book found on the estate, Donald learns of Fantomallard and his specialized car decked out with special gadgets.
