When average citizen Drake Mallard dons a mask, hat, and cape, he becomes
the swashbuckling crimebuster, Darkwing Duck. With the help of his loyal
but often clueless sidekick, Launchpad McQuack, he patrols the city of
St. Canard. When he adopts his orphan niece, Gosayln (it was never established
that DW and Gos were related- "Darkly Dawns the Duck" insinuates
they are not), who wants to help out with the crimebusting, his life changes
drastically. Voices include Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck and Jim Muddlefoot-
ah, he must be the Muddlefoot we were never introduced to), Christine
Cavanaugh (Gosalyn Mallard), Terry McGovern (Launchpad), Katie Leigh (Honker
Muddlefoot).
