Darkwing Duck: The Original Theme

"Drake Mallard, average citizen by day and St. Canard's resident superhero by night"

Darkwing Duck was an American animated TV series which produced by The Walt Disney Company. It featured an eponymous superhero anthropomorphic duck behind on his true identity, Drake Mallard (voiced by Jim Cummings). The costume of this superhero features the gas gun, and flashy introductions are all direct references to pulp heroes such as the Crimson Avenger, The Shadow, and The Green Hornet.

The premise of this series was on fictional city of St. Canard, Darkwing’s rogue gallery, and the relative darkness of Darkwing as it compared to other Disney character such as Batman, Zorro, and The Shadow influences. The character of this series was also appeared occasionally in the series bonkers and earlier Gosalyn appeared in the series Raw Toonage. The series and Ducktales are directly connected by two characters crossing over into the world of Darkwing Duck. The first is Launch pad, Darkwing's sidekick, who is a longtime staple of DuckTales, and GizmoDuck, an armored hero who became a popular part of the DuckTales cast during the series' run.
