History NightmareFuel / DarkwingDuck

** Behind the cartoonish slapstick comedy and the hammy over-the-top performance, you'll see a man who's become so consumed by his grief and madness that an entire metropolis has to suffer. If the big and scary-looking war machines he uses don't scare you, then his new and terrifying appearance, his red eyes and angry-looking face will do it, and if not even that, then the fact that he sends people to jail for years for such petty things as jaywalking will do it. And if his entrance wasn't enough to make it clear that something is wrong with his head, then Launchpad will make it clear when he tells his story on how he got fired from the sidekick job because he thought they "should arrest the crooks before giving them the electric chair". [[FridgeHorror And then you'll ask]] where [[ArchEnemy Negaduck]] went, or where the other heroes of St. Canard, including [[LoveInterest Morgana]], went, or why the democratic government would allow one man having totalitarian control of a city inside their borders, UsefulNotes/JosephStalin style, without trying to take him out. And it ain't stopping there; when Darkwarrior Duck gets his hands on Quackerjack's time machine, he's planning to use it to go back in time so that he can rewrite the Code of Hammurabi so that even "being cranky in the morning" [[DisproportionateRetribution will be punishable by death]]. Or go back right at the time when the evolution of landwalking animals is getting started, and then delaying it until he'd get a "few rules straight". [[KickTheMoralityPet But the moment when his insanity hits the high point is when he aims a missile launcher right at his daughter's face]], with a closeness enough to get himself blown up as well if he pulls the trigger, while angrily ranting on her past "criminal tendencies". Sure, he doesn't pull the trigger, but Darkwarrior Duck's KnightTemplar personality was so great that it even made the [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice Lords]] look merciful in comparison. Hell, not even [[AbusiveParents Negaduck]] was this extreme when he found out his own daughter had turned against him in "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E33LifeTheNegaverseAndEverything Life, the Negaverse and Everything]]"...

** It's later revealed they survived their little "accident", thought not without some mental scarring....

** [[KnightTemplar Darkwarrior]] [[UpToEleven Duck]], as very well exemplified by his introduction:

** In a more AdultFear way, the citizens of his city not giving a hoot about him after he saved their tails a million times. Only three people in the world care about DW.

* Taurus Bulba. Amongst the RoguesGallery of wacky, comical, over-the-top Saturday morning cartoon villains, we've this ruthless, cunning, murderous, and downright psychopathic crime lord played by Creator/TimCurry. He's one of the few villains besides Bushroot, Phineas Sharp, F.O.W.L. and Darkwarrior Duck who's confirmed to have committed murder, and his victim was none other than Gosalyn's grandfather. Later on, he attempts to do the same with Gosalyn, both to blackmail Darkwing Duck and ForTheEvulz, showing that [[WouldHurtAChild not even children are safe from him]]. When he's rebuilt by F.O.W.L., he thanks them by [[UngratefulBastard destroying their base]], [[EvilerThanThou declaring himself above them]] and threatening to kill them after he kills Darkwing Duck. When he seeks out Gosalyn for revenge, she gets a [[HeroicBSOD complete mental shutdown]] when meeting him. And while he has some hammy and comical moments, they're way outnumbered by his atrocities, making him the show's local KnightOfCerebus.

* Paddywhack from "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E54TheHauntingOfMrBananaBrain The Haunting of Mr. Banana Brain.]]". MonsterClown, feeds on negative emotions, beak filled with sharp teeth, evil beady eyes, spider-like limbs on a squat body, that deep scary voice... ''GAH!'' (when isn't hamming up a scene at least). He's the Darkwing-verse version of Literature/{{It}}. [[spoiler: Issue #7 brings him back. '''And now..Paddywhack is coming to supper!''']]

** Of course it's later revealed they survived their little "accident", thought not without some mental scarring....

** It's implied that Darkwarrior has killed people during his reign of terror. Keep in mind that we don't see Negaduck II commit murder on the show, which means the "hero" has accomplished something the villain didn't...murder.

* F.O.W.L has plans that could literally destroy the world if they don't submit, including stopping the earth's rotation and dooming the earth to one half eternal winter and one half burning to the ground.

* The sheer number of minor villains present in the show who plan to commit city wide or even universal genocide becomes unsettling in contrast to the Disneyesque setting. One villain known as Isis Vanderchill planned to melt all the gold of St. Canard, which she would then use to coat the entire city in order to reflect the sunlight and heat up the entire city, thus giving her the warmth she so longingly desired while killing all the city's residents with heatstroke. Another was an insane alien who had explosives on him with enough power to destroy the universe if set off and wanted to do so ForTheEvulz.
