History NightmareFuel / DarkwingDuck

** Almost immediately afterwards, he decides that petty crimes are beneath him and that he's going to lay waste to St. Canard [[ForTheEvulz for the sheer fun of it]], starting by [[KickTheDog throwing Megavolt through a wall]] with his powers. He then shows himself to be ''very capable'' of carrying that threat out, as the ground cracks wherever he walks, his lightning destroys whatever he passes and he has enough destructive power to lay waste to entire buildings. This leaves no doubt that the Negatron Negaduck is [[EldritchAbomination destruction incarnate]] - were it not for the galvanised Posiduck's ability to [[FertileFeet restore things]], he could very well have [[ApocalypseHow destroyed a lot more than a single city]].!!The comic:

** This is followed up quickly with him getting "galvanised", when he tries destroy Megavolt's device so he won't be merged back with his good half. During the struggle, he gets zapped with the machine again, transforming him into a supercharged, [[DarkIsEvil photonegative]] version of Darkwing with [[ShockAndAwe electricity shooting off of his body]] and a constant [[HellIsThatNoise static screeching noise]] whenever he's on screen. It's no wonder that Megavolt's first reaction is to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone cower in terror]] as the new Negaduck delivers a [[DarkReprise terrifying variation]] of Darkwing's usual BadassBoast:

!!The comic:

* [[EnemyWithout Negatron Negaduck]] getting "galvanized". It starts with the evil half of Darkwing trying to destroy Megavolt's device so he won't be merged back with the good half. During the struggle, he gets zapped with the machine again, transforming him into a supercharged, [[DarkIsEvil photonegative]] version of Darkwing with [[ShockAndAwe electricity shooting off of his body.]] A constant [[HellIsThatNoise screeching noise]] can be heard whenever he's on screen, and the ground beneath him cracks wherever he walks. It's no wonder that Megavolt's first reaction is to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone cower in terror]] as the new Negaduck delivers a [[DarkReprise terrifying variation]] of Darkwing's usual BadassBoast:

* In "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E36DisguiseTheLimit Disguise The Limit]]", while trying to catch Negaduck so Darkwing can prove his innocence under the effects of a machine that can change his appearance to whatever he looks at, when Gosalyn suggests thinking like Negaduck in order to capture him, Darkwing looks at a "Wanted" poster of Negaduck and turns into him. Unfortunately, this ends up working too well, in that Darkwing starts acting like Negaduck and begins going after Launchpad and Gosalyn with a burner, while asking Gosalyn, "Wanna play Moth in the Flame, shnookums?"

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

* Launchpad's future vision of Darkwing's death in "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E35HeavyMental Heavy Mental]]." Not only do we get to see Darkwing get crushed to death, but it's topped off by the villains of the episode standing over and suddenly laughing [[NightmareFace as their faces transform into grotesque abominations.]]

* "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E45DeadDuck Dead Duck]]": Darkwing dies, visits the afterlife, comes back as a ghost, has to deal with Death hunting him. He wakes up and is overjoyed, thinking it was just a nightmare, and then... it implies it's not just a dream.
** Not to mention the citizens of his city not giving a hoot about him after saving their tails a million times. Only 3 people in the world care about DW.

** How about the citizens of your city not giving a hoot about you after saving their tails a million times? This is in the SAME episode.

* Bushroot is able to regenerate which leads to some nasty deaths, including once going through a woodchipper.

* Sometimes when SHUSH asked Darkwing to take over a case for them they showed him what happened to the guys they had who were looking into it before. Like once Darkwing asked what happened to their last agent and J. Gander replied by ''taking a can of cat food out of his desk drawer.'' Although, actually, the cat food was just cat food. The '''[[OverlyLongGag other]]''' cat food can in Hooter's desk was the remains of their last agent.

* [[KnightTemplar Darkwarrior]] [[UpToEleven Duck]]. Behind the cartoonish slapstick comedy and the hammy over-the-top performance, and you'll see a man who's become so consumed by his madness that an entire metropolis has to suffer. If the big and scary-looking war machines he uses don't scare you than his new and terrifying appearance, his red eyes and angry-looking face will do it, and if not even that than the fact that he sends people to jail for years for such petty things like jaywalking will do it. And if his entrance wasn't enough to make it clear what 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, 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 being started, and then delaying it until he'd get "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 rants on her past "criminal tendencies". Sure he doesn't pull the trigger but Darkwarrior Duck's Knight Templar personality was so great that it made the [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice Lords]] look like your friendly neighbourhood patrol police officers. They at least had the mercy enough to just lobotomize the supervillains, and not even [[AbusiveParents Negaduck]] was this extreme when he found out his own daughter had turned against him.

* "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E45DeadDuck Dead Duck]]": Darkwing dies, visits the afterlife, comes back as a ghost, has to deal with Death hunting him, and then... it implies it's not just a dream.

* Taurus Bulba. Amongst the RoguesGallery of whacky, 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 the only villain besides Bushroot and Darkwarrior Duck who's confirmed to have committed murder, and his victim was no 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's 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.

* The Episode where Darkwing dies, visits the afterlife, comes back as a ghost, has to deal with death hunting him (or a replacement)and then... it implies it's not just a dream. To emphasize how traumatic this episode was, this troper saw the first five minutes as a kid, turned it off, accidentally saw the whole "Devil in the oven" last minute, and literally had to psych herself up to watch everything inbetween... at least ten years later.

* Taurus Bulba's closeup on his face when he shouts "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS IS NO GAME!]]" and how he immediately goes back to his calm demeanor.
** Taurus seems to consider his own resurrection this, telling FOWL exactly what he thinks of doing so without his permission.

** Turning a person into a mindless zombie is considered an act of mercy?
** Apparently Darkwarrior Duck thinks so...

* 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 {{It}}. [[spoiler: Issue #7 brings him back. '''And now..Paddywhack is coming to supper!''']]
