Quackerjack is voiced by Michael Bell

Origin

A former toymaker who was only capable of creating dangerous toys, Quackerjack donned a clown costume and began a life of crime, using his deadly toys to help him in his goals.

Biography

While his real name is unknown (or at least left unsaid), Quackerjack was once a toymaker with a brilliant mind who became upset that no one would buy his toys... mostly because they were extremely destructive and dangerous for not only children, but people in general.  Quackerjack, who may or may not have been insane to start with, then took on the villainous clown persona we know today, plotting revenge for his toys being unappreciated, feeling that children should love his toys.

When we first see Quackerjack, he has declared war on the video game company that made the game 'Whiffle Boy' believing that "the competition" was putting him out of business, only to be defeated by Darkwing Duck (in "Whiffle While You Work").  When he returns, he plots to create a utopia for children with no rules, even if he has to kidnap them, including Darkwing's niece Gosalyn, only to be defeated by Darkwing again.

Later, in "Days of Blunder" Quackerjack posed as a psychiatrist and tricked Darkwing into quitting through hypnotism.  Eventually, Darkwing turned the tables, temporarily leaving Quackerjack in a hypnotic coma state.

Finally, after several solo failures, Quackerjack joined the Fearsome Five in a successful attempt to conquer St. Canard, but were overthrown by the Justice Ducks.  Quackerjack's next plot was to travel in time to prevent the invention of the yo-yo in the middle ages, but failed once more.  After that, Quackerjack teamed up with Megavolt to brainwash Darkwing and many of St. Canard's residents into being completely calm so that the city will be uninterested in their crime spree, only to have the plan backfire when they cause a large fire that they need Darkwing to fix, which he eventually does, which leads to the duo being captured once more.

Quackerjack and Megavolt teamed up once more in "Time and Punishment", only to be flung into the future with Darkwing's adopted daughter Gosilyn into a world where Darkwing has become a cruel and merciless crimefighter named Darkwarrior Duck.  The three time travellers decided to work together and eventually return to their own time to prevent a dystopian (albeit crime-free) future.

Some time after he returned to the present, his beloved toy, Mr. Banana Brain, is possessed by a supernatural evil known as Paddywhack.  Quackerjack, thinking that Mr. Banana Brain has simply chosen to speak comes under his thrall and is eventually trapped in his world of torment along with Darkwing.  The two escape after convincing Paddywhack that they enjoy his taunting of them.

Quackerjack returns with the Fearsome Five, only to have his "powers" of wackiness stolen by NegaDuck.  Darkwing is able to defeat Negaduck and return his powers.  This was the last appearance of Quackerjack in the original cartoon series.

Comics

Quackerjack later appeared in the Darkwing Duck comic series in the opening story arc, in which he rejoined the Fearsome Five, who are looking for revenge on Darkwing Duck.  After being defeated along with the rest of the Fearsome Five, he later makes a return with a dark, new personality.

Personality

Quackerjack loves being goofy and wacky but is easily angered by those who don't appreciate his sense of humour.

Skills and Abilities

Quackerjack is a brilliant toy maker, save for the fact that his toys are all too dangerous to actually play with.
