Recap / Darkwing Duck S 3 E 11 Mutantcy On The Bouncy

---

This episode contains examples of the following tropes:

• Alliterative Name: The Rubber Chicken and Sneeze Master's real names are Clovis Cluckenhoff and Daphne Duckbill respectively, the remaining two heroic mutants go by Glue Gal and Banana Boy, and the villain Cement Head goes by the alias Swenlin Swine.
• Blessed with Suck: Some of the mutants recruited by the Rubber Chicken to fight Cement Head have completely useless abilities. Sneeze Master can only display cold symptoms at will, while Banana Boy can only turn into an anthropomorphic banana that wears a blue cape.
• Clear My Name: Rubber Chicken ends up at odds with Darkwing because Cement Head framed him for his crimes. Gosalyn tries to help him clear things up.
• I Take Offense to That Last One: At the end of the episode, the Rubber Chicken chews Darkwing out by calling him a vain, pig-headed, loudmouthed, snooty, egomaniacal waffle-brain. Darkwing only objects to being called vain.
• Parody:
  • The premise of random people being born as mutants appears to be a loose spoof of X-Men.
  • Cement Head appears to be a villainous homage of The Thing.
• Radiation-Induced Superpowers: A bunch of people got mutant superpowers thanks to their parents being exposed to various radioactive items. Darkwing was envious of all their powers, and supposed he'd just get a rash if he was exposed to something radioactive.
• What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?:
  • Banana Boy can turn from a human form (well pig form) to a giant banana. While useless in combat, he says that it breaks the ice at parties.
  • Glue Gal has the ability to make anything stick.
  • Sneezemaster mutant power is powerful sneezing, but she also get diseased everytime she use it.
