Watch Darkwing Duck Online

The success of DuckTales led to a spin-off series, Darkwing Duck, one year after the show had ended. Darkwing Duck was inspired by two episodes of DuckTales, entitled Double-O-Duck and The Masked Mallard. The original concept had Launchpad McQuack as the star.

While the show establishes its own conventions, it is largely regarded as an affectionate satire on superhero mythos and lore, some obvious, some subtle, and others quite witty. Darkwing's costume, gas gun, and flashy introductions are all direct references to pulp heroes such as the Crimson Avenger, The Shadow, and The Green Hornet. The fictional city of St. Canard and Darkwing's rogues gallery reflect Batman influences. In addition, there are Marvel Universe references such as the secret intelligence organization, S.H.U.S.H., a parody of Marvel's SHIELD. The episode Aduckyphobia shows Darkwing being bitten by a mutated spider and ending up growing six arms. Spider-Man in a notable issue ended up growing six arms.

There were, generally, two kinds of episodes. In the first it was just a straightforward quest to stop the villain, in the other some kind of transformation would happen to one of the main characters, such as Darkwing being turned old, Gosalyn being turned to slime and so on, and they would have to find a cure, while stopping the villain. Meanwhile, the transformation will turn out to be of tremendous use in this particular case.

Note: The episodes are ordered by season. However, because seasons one and two both aired simultaneously on different networks, episodes are not listed chronologically. For instance, some events that happen in season two, such as character introductions, take place before certain season one episodes. WIKI
