Darkwing Duck, voiced by Vladimir Radchenko, Valery Kukhareshin in the series “Restaurant“ Quiet Backwater “”, “Mysterious Fossil”) (real name - Kryak Lapchaty) is a superhero leading an uncompromising fight against evil. In ordinary life, a simple citizen of Saint-Canard is Kryak Lapchaty. He firmly believes that he is the only righteous inhabitant of his city, that he is the hero whom everyone should respect. The black cloak loves flattery, fame, wealth. He also likes to stand out from the crowd. But, despite all these qualities, Kryak is very kind. He considers his main goal in life - the fight against evil. The Black Cloak has an adopted daughter, Gooseon. Before meeting Zigzag and Goose, Quack lived in a high tower on the main bridge of the city, but after that he has a full-fledged house. The tower remains the headquarters of the Black Cloak.

gosling

gosling

gosling(Gosalyn Mallard, voiced by Lyudmila Ilyina, Ksenia Brzhezovskaya in the series "Quiet Backwater Restaurant", "Mysterious Fossil") - the adopted daughter of Kryak Lapchaty, a very athletic and restless 9-year-old girl who often gets into trouble. In everyday life, Gusena wears a purple jersey with the number "1" and sneakers. Unlike Black Cloak, she has thick red hair and large green eyes.

In early childhood, she lost her biological parents, and she was raised by her grandfather, Professor Kryakshteina. After his death, as a result of an accident, she ended up in an orphanage. Before his death, the professor invented a secret weapon for the government - a ramrod, capable of destroying gravitational bonds to the levels of molecules and solving bodies of shape and weight. Big mobster Taras Bulba stole it, but it turned out that a password is required to activate the weapon. Gusena was a kind of "artifact", according to Taras Bulba, she supposedly should know the secret code from the deadly device. However, Gusena did not know the password, since her grandfather simply did not say anything to his granddaughter. Therefore, Taras Bulba decided to kidnap Gusen and torture her to find out the password. Black Cloak had no choice but to save Gooseon.

At first, Kryak wanted to get rid of her as quickly as possible, since Gusyon was a fidget and simply bothered him. But later, after spending a lot of time together, Quack became attached to Goose, and she, in turn, became attached to him. After defeating Taras Bulba, Kryak decided to adopt Gusen. And then, starting from the third series, Quack and Gusyon live, soul to soul. Knowing the secret of her father, Gusen herself repeatedly tried to fight crime. In the episode "Dances with Bigfoot", Gusena appeared as the mysterious superhero Red Mask. In later episodes, due to her growing interest in archery, she calls herself Quack Wing Quiver. This image is gaining incredible success among comic book fans. In it, Goosena prevents a number of crimes: the destruction of the Museum of Natural History, the flooding of Saint-Canard with sewage. She also managed to eliminate the Phoenix Blob. It is worth noting the intellectual abilities of Gusena. Despite her lack of interest in learning, her deductive and logical thinking is developed no less, and maybe even more than that of SP.

• Gusen is the champion in the game "Postrel".
• Her favorite sport is hockey.
• In the alternate world, there is a double of Gusena, her complete opposite: sweet and obedient.
• Gusena often suffers from bouts of somnambulism.

Her first appearance in the animated series is in the episode "Darkly Dawns the Duck. Part 1".

Zigzag McCrack

Zigzag McCrack

Zigzag McCrack(Launchpad McQuack, voiced by Yuri Volintsev, Sergey Parshin in the series "Restaurant" Quiet Backwater "", "Mysterious Fossil") - Black Cloak's partner. He professionally controls any aircraft, but landings cause difficulties for him. Zigzag is a great mechanic. He independently designed and built Thundercry. Zigzag has a big family: father - ... .., mother - Ptashka and younger sister Petelka. They are all excellent pilots. Zigzag's great-great-great-grandfather - Rubard McCrack was a general, commander and participant in the battle for Duck Vale.

As a child, Zigzag was afraid of heights, which was terrible for the pilot's son, and his father, in order to get rid of this shameful scourge, began to take him on flights. During one of these sorties, he fell out of the plane, but, fortunately, he was picked up by an alien named Tia. She gave him the joy of flying, and he taught her to have fun. But she was taken away, and Zigzag's memory was erased. Tia is now queen of the galaxy. She offered Zigzag to marry her and become the king of the galaxy, but he, afraid to take such a serious step, refused (series "U.F. Foe").

The first demonstrative flight of Zigzag with his family was a complete failure. Here is how Zigzag himself tells about this event:

Having performed the most difficult trick, “Triple coup on a strafing flight with a loop and a knot”, Zigzag again earned the pride of his parents and now his relationship with his family has been established.

Zigzag met Blackcloak when he fell into his hangar. It turned out that Zigzag is his fan, and even keeps a diary with newspaper clippings. He offered emergency assistance in catching criminals. At first, the hero denied, saying that he was working alone, but Zigzag's persistence nevertheless prevailed. Now they are not only partners, but also best friends.

Before meeting with the Black Cloak, he worked as a pilot for Scrooge McDuck in the DuckTales series. Due to his physical strength, he was Scrooge's guard more than once, later Supercrack received this position. In the first season of the DuckTales series, Zigzag is one of the main characters, but appears less frequently in subsequent episodes.

Zigzag's design and character changed noticeably in the Black Cape series: he became muscular, smarter, and addicted to cooking. It is likely that these changes were introduced to tame Blackcloak's ego.

• Zigzag can't swim.
• He is Aries by zodiac sign.

Zigzag is a great mechanic. He independently designed and built Thundercry. Zigzag first appeared in the Black Cloak animated series in the episode "Darkly Dawns the Duck. Part 1"

Ducks of Justice

Morgana Macabre

Morgan Macabre with Archie the Spider

Morgana Macabre(Morgana MacCawber, voiced by Irina Akulova and Olga Gasparova in the Ducks of Justice series Part 1 and Part 2, Natalya Danilova in the Quiet Backwater Restaurant series) is a hereditary sorceress, a friend of the Black Cloak.
Morgana is quite tall and wears a long, ripped red dress with shoulder pads and wide sleeves. Her thick black hair styled up in a Bride of Frankenstein style. One of the pieces of the dress is connected to the finger, so that something like wings is created. She also has a high collar and a brooch around her neck.

Morgana has a huge family: Mokolulo's father; aunt Zhutya; cousin Slizzy; Uncle Nero and Granny. Initially, Morgana was a villain and led the fraudulent organization Macabre Mushrooms, but after meeting the Black Cloak, she embarked on the path of correction and acts as a positive character in further episodes.

It is difficult to talk about the seriousness of the relationship between Morgana and PE. They rarely see each other, and when they meet, the PE talks only about work. Morgana is very unnerved. She also does not like the fact that Quack constantly criticizes her culinary habits and reproaches her violent past. Because of this, they broke up more than once, but not for long. Morgana's father, Mokolulo Macabre, who can't stand "normal" ones, also spoke out against her novel. She treats Gusena like a daughter.

Morgana inherited her father's hot temper and magical powers. Her ability to conjure is not flawless: often the result of a transformation spell is not what was required. In the episode "Monsters R Us", it is revealed that Morgana failed her exams at the witchcraft school.

Like any self-respecting witch, Morgana has exotic pets: the spider Archie and the bats Ik and Peak.

Once she was an ordinary fish, but one day, swimming near the surface, she was poisoned by toxic waste dumped into the water. Under their influence, she mutated into what she is now. So that no fish would share its fate, Neptunia decided to clean up not only the ocean, but also the city from waste. The measures she wanted to take turned out to be extremely cruel, but fortunately, Zigzag managed to convince her to back down.

Edgar Hoover, which is also reflected in the translation of the name.

Agent Trofim Petrovich Grizlikov(Agent Vladimir Goudenov Grizzlikof, voiced by Boris Bystrov) - a bear, an agent of the organization SHUSHU.

So, in the episode "Disguise the Limit", when the state of emergency had an evil double (Anticloak), Sarah Bellum, in order to save time, decided to kill both.

Negative

The Terrible Five

Antiplasch

Its plant half is Lyceum nycanthropus. He is a botanist. Bushrut is not one of the massively popular characters of the "Black Cloak" among fans of the duck universe, usually the state of emergency itself, Zigzag, Megavolt, Antiplasch, Kvaga and Goose are more popular (usually in that order, but Megavolt and Antiplasch can periodically beckon in places). Bushroot is able to telepathically control plants, accelerating their growth and metabolism. He can "revive" plants that become his accomplices, for example, trees begin to walk. It has a green "skin" that can absorb light. He has leaves instead of palms on stems and roots instead of legs, and a purple flower hairdo on his head.

Bushroot like a weed is very tenacious and regenerative even better than Wolverine and Victor Creed. Even after grinding, it sprouts again when it hits the ground. But, nevertheless, he is afraid of Anticloak with his chainsaw (everyone is afraid of him, even Liquigad - a dog consisting of water). It also withstands drying and freezing. Bushroot can create new forms of plants, such as a bush that grows fake green dollars instead of leaves, or creates a vampire potato. Has a pet plant-dog Spike (translated as Nibbler) that looks like a Venus flytrap. He is a member of the Fearsome Five. In the parallel bliss of the universe, Bushroot is a positive character and is a member of the "Friendly Four". Bushrut conducted an experiment on himself and was forever turned into a half-duck, half-plant.

I became a criminal by accident. Colleagues Dr. Gerry and Dr. Larson always mocked him, and Bushrut now decided to answer them using his new talent. And after the mutation, the Black Cloak sees in him only a villain monster. But, nevertheless, three times they united to fight a common enemy. Bushroot is the kindest villain. In the following episodes, Bushroot commits crimes not for selfish motives, but to finance his experiments.

In love with Dr. Rhoda Dendron. Rhoda was the only person at the university who understood him. But after the mutation, their relationship did not work out. And he kidnapped her to make her a semi-plant so that she would understand him. But Black Cloak and Zigzag saved her. After Bushrut, he never tried to communicate with Rhoda. And he even tried to create a girlfriend out of potatoes, but it turned out to be a monster.

ammonia

Ammonium chloride used to be a regular cleaner in a chemistry lab, but after inhaling an experimental cleaner, she became obsessed with cleaning. It was her membership in V.A.O. that helped her realize her potential as a cleaning lady. N., which apparently financed the creation of her huge cleaning machine, as well as special equipment.

Ammonia is crazy, but, nevertheless, she is aware that she is committing crimes. After Nashatyrka failed the task of providing finances to V.A.O. N. and the destruction of Klyuver - the director of SHUSHU - the leadership of the criminal organization began to trust her less. And although V.A.O.

Self villains

Taras Bulba

Taras Bulba(Taurus Bulba, voiced by Andrey Yaroslavtsev in the series “The Secret Becomes Clear” (episode of 2 parts), Boris Bystrov in the series “Hour of the Bull”) is a rich mafioso who plans his villainy in prison.

Taras Bulba before the incident on the skyscraper

The famous mafioso Taras Bulba was known in the criminal world as a brilliant criminal. And for good reason. While in prison, he runs an illegal business and cooperates with the World Association of Inveterate Scoundrels. With just one push of a button, his secretary Clarissa turns his prison cell into a luxury apartment. And the naive head of the prison does not even suspect what villains are controlled from his prison. Bulba is really brilliant. He managed to create a flying machine resembling a bull's head without leaving the camera. Possessing remarkable leadership abilities, Taras created his own organized group or simply a gang, which is directly subordinate to him personally, and not to the leadership of the criminal organization V.A.O. N. Clearly distributed the roles between the members of the gang (for example, Clarisse acts as an accomplice, and the performers are the goat Dubin with his 2 subordinates; the condor Tantl insures them, and also performs tasks related to moving through the air). Having received a secret military invention - Professor Kryakinstein's ramrod - Bulba easily escapes from prison according to a pre-prepared plan. With this formidable weapon mafiosi will be able to easily rob US federal banks. It would seem that nothing can stop this Einstein of the underworld. But Taras Bulba underestimated the beginning hero of the Black Cloak. The state of emergency thwarted his sinister plans, defeated his gang ... In desperation, Taras grabbed the hero, hoping that the explosion of the ramrod on the roof of the skyscraper would kill the Black Cloak and himself. The plan was half successful: our Quack survived, and the bandit died under the rubble.

Taras Bulba after the incident on the skyscraper

For a long time, everyone considered Taras Bulba dead as a result of an explosion on the roof of the tallest building in Saint-Canard. But it was not so. After the explosion on the roof of a skyscraper, the leadership of V.A.O. N. gave the order to remove the bull's body from the rubble. They supported his life in a special pressure chamber. When the Black Cloak became a real threat to V.A.O. N., one after another frustrating their sinister plans, the leadership decided to direct all their efforts to create a cyborg from Bulba (the worst enemy of the state of emergency) in order not only to restore lost positions in the underworld, but also to strengthen. But they miscalculated. Taras Bulba resurrected, but was full of hatred not only for the state of emergency, but also for V.A.O. N. Having promised to take revenge on them later, he went in search of an emergency. Once again, having kidnapped Gusen, the cyborg decided what to do with the state of emergency. His hatred just knew no bounds. The emergency plan was simple: to lure Bulba out into the rain so that he would rust. This plan was nearly successful. Quack threw the villain into the waterfall. But V.A.O. It was not in vain that N. invested so much money in the project of Taras Bulba. It turned out to be stainless steel. Defeated, but not broken, Taras promised revenge and flew away with the help of a semblance of a rocket pack with wings. The state of emergency failed to arrest the former authority ...

Created by the famous company "Walt Disney" in the wake of the success of "Duck Tales". It tells about the adventures of the superhero drake and his friends. Although this cartoon is an independent work with original characters, an attentive viewer noticed parodies of comic book stars. Most of the Black Coat characters are ducks, followed by dogs and other animals.

Main character

The main character of the "Black Cape" is a mysterious superhero-drake, protecting the city and its civilians. In ordinary life, his name is Kryak Lapchaty. A kind, caring, but strict father, a true friend. He has a talent for getting into unpleasant stories, but miraculously he manages to extricate himself from them. It consists of a black cloak, a wide-brimmed black hat, jacket and mask.

At the very beginning, Quack meets another character of the "Black Cloak" - Gusena, whom he later adopts. Also, the superdrake is helped by his friend, the drake-pilot Zigzag, who created for him an airplane in the form of a duck head "Thundercry". The main character does not have physical superpower, but he masterfully masters martial arts. Also, in the fight against evil, he is helped by the support of his relatives and friends.

Intimate surroundings of the superdrake

In addition to the superdrake, the main characters of the "Black Cloak" are:

• Zigzag McQuack is CP's best friend. Talented mechanic and pilot. He copes with piloting any aircraft, only he has difficulties with landing.
• Gusena Lapchataya is the adopted daughter of Kryak. Very restless and inquisitive little duck. At first, the Black Cloak did not want to keep her because of her restlessness. She is a loyal friend, loving and caring daughter. Often gets into trouble because of her desire to prove that she is smart and mature.

Neutral Heroes

Such characters in the "Black Cloak" include the neighbors of Quack Paw-footed - Moodlefoot.

Other superheroes

Also, the characters of the "Black Cape" are other superheroes who have become parodies of famous comic book characters.

1. Morgana McCabber or MacAbre is a witch, a former villain. But acquaintance with the Black Cloak changed her attitude: she took the side of good. Later she became the girlfriend of Quack Lapchaty.
2. Supercrack - the story of its origin is shown in more detail in "DuckTales". It has armor in which many different weapons are built in, and it moves not on paws, but on one wheel. Constantly competes with the Black Cloak. Supercrack is a parody of Iron Man and other cyborg heroes.
3. Comet is a superhero who mistakenly came to Earth from another planet. Differs in superstrength, but at the same time naive and gullible. It is a parody of Superman.

Participants of Sh.U.Sh.U

Below is a list of the Black Cloak characters that are part of a secret organization. This is a parody of government leadership in the Marvel Universe.

1. Edgar Kluver is the head of the organization.
2. The Grizzly Agent is a bear and always follows S.U.S.U.'s charter. Therefore, he did not like the Black Cloak, which violated it.
3. G. Blunt - rooster, agent W.W.W.W. Actor by profession. Like Grizlikov, he was in a strained relationship with the Black Cloak. But then they became friends.

Main villain

He was Antiplasch, as is already clear from his name - the complete opposite of the main character. He is the opposite of Quack from a parallel world, although he also has an adopted daughter. He has an evil, insidious character, very smart and prudent.

His main goal is to defeat the Black Cloak. His most common weapon is a chainsaw. Although initially in the comic book, he was not as cruel as in the animated series.

Negative heroes

Of course, among the "Black Cloak" one cannot fail to note the villains with whom the main character fights. Below are some of these characters:

1. Reginald Bushrut is a former scientist. Due to a failed experiment, he became half a plant. Because of this, he gained the ability to control plants. Bushrut commits unseemly acts not because of greed, like other villains, but because of loneliness and a desire to protect nature.
2. Megavolt is a villain rat with the ability to control electricity. He studied in the same class with the Black Cloak, their first duel took place at the graduation party. In addition to money, he likes to steal various electrical appliances and light bulbs.
3. Professor Moliarty is a brilliant leader of a gang of moles, has a higher education. His dream is to make life on the surface habitable for moles. His name is derived from the word "mole" and the surname of the main villain of the books about Sherlock Holmes - Moriarty. The similarity with this character is emphasized by the genius of Moliarti.

Of course, these are not all the names of the characters of the "Black Cloak", the most vivid and memorable heroes were chosen. Thanks to the original plot and interesting parodies of superheroes, the cartoon has become popular among viewers all over the world.

Source: animated series "Black Cloak" (1991-1995)

The black cloak is waging an uncompromising struggle with the villains of the city of Saint-Canard. Not possessing great physical strength, he masters martial arts, relies on technical devices and the support of friends. A master at finding trouble and getting out of it. In one of the series, as a result of Goosena's movement into the future, he became obsessed with the rules and turned into the Black Warrior, but after the return of his daughter, everything fell into place. Zigzag calls the Black Cloak - PE (for convenience).

Broadcasts in Russia

The premiere of the animated series in Russia was on January 3, 1993 on the RTR TV channel in the program "The Magical World of Disney". In 1993-1994, 89 first episodes were translated and shown. Later, the series was repeated on the STS channel under the heading "Disney Hour" in 1997-1998 and on Channel One as part of the program "Disney Club" in the 2000s with a significant break in the show lasting several years. After the re-display of the episodes translated in the 90s, in February 2008, the Disney Club program on Channel One premiered the last 2 episodes - “Quiet Backwater Restaurant” and “Mysterious Fossil” - translated in 2007 from studio "Nevafilm". From December 21, 2008 to May 28, 2009, the series was broadcast on weekdays at 15:30, and later at 15:00 on the STS channel.

About the animated series

The success of the DuckTales animated series led to the creation of a series in the same universe, Black Cape, which ended after one year of broadcast. The creation of "Black Cape" was prompted by two episodes of DuckTales aired earlier - "Duck Agent Two Zero" and "Masked Drake". As the beloved hero, the “star” of the series “DuckTales”, the unfortunate pilot Zigzag McQuack, who previously worked for Scrooge McDuck and appeared in some episodes Fenton Quarkshell, known as the superhero Duckrobot in DuckTales, migrated to the animated series Black Cloak and Supercrack in Black Cloak.

This cartoon, which is independent, with the original main characters and plots of the series, at the same time parodies many famous superheroes and supervillains - some similarities between the characters and their prototypes are obvious, some are presented subtly, some are sharp. The CP suit, his gas pistol, and unusual agility all feature heroes such as the Crimson Avenger, Shadow, and Green Hornet. The fictional city of Saint Canard and the protection of it by the Black Cloak from the most dangerous criminals are similar to Batman's struggle with enemies in Gotham.

Russian voice acting pleases the viewer's ear not only with well-chosen voices, but also with a play on words, which was preserved during translation. The very nickname of the protagonist of the state of emergency implies the ability of this character to get into unpleasant situations and masterfully extricate himself from them. There are times when the Black Cloak can be called a walking "Emergency". His very name - Kryak Lapchaty - is "talking", and, in addition to him, there are such names and surnames as Zigzag, Gusena, Pad Flood - Likvigad and others. Some names have been changed, some have been translated verbatim, and some have simply been moved. In the English version, almost every character had a name consisting of one or more words that had their own meaning, which characterized the hero or described his appearance (Darkwing Duck - in translation Dark-winged duck, Drake Mallard - Wild drake, Bushroot: bush - bush, root - root, Liquidator: liquid - liquid, liquidator - liquidator (play on words) and much more). Nicknames and names were slightly modified, but the whole meaning was preserved.

The song "Black Cloak" for the Russian titles of the series was performed by Murat Nasyrov.

Enemies of the Black Cloak

The Fearsome Five

Antiplasch (Negaduck, voiced by Vladimir Radchenko, Alexey Zolotnitsky in the series "The Prisoner", "The Quack-Winged Quiver", "The Sorcerer's Curse", Stanislav Kontsevich in the series "Quiet Zavod Restaurant") - the main villain, outwardly like two drops of water similar to the Black Cloak (not counting the color of the suit), but completely opposite in character: he is a dangerous criminal who carries a huge amount of various weapons. Mortally hates the Black Cloak. Why he looks like an emergency, many versions are given - whether he is his evil twin, or his version from Antiworld, or just a random double. But in the Antiplasch series, the PE falls under the Megavolt separator and is divided into two personalities - good and bad. After that, the "bad" Black Cloak falls under the separator again and becomes Anticloak, the most destructive villain in the cartoon.

Megavolt (Vadim Andreev) - real name: Elmo Sparkler (Elmo Sputterspark). Rat-criminal, commanding electricity; in addition to money, he loves to steal light bulbs and electrical appliances (in Russian translation, in one of the series he is called an "electric crook"); a former classmate of Black Cape, first fought him at the prom. During the raid, I wanted to choose the name "Megawatt" for myself, but it turned out that the name was taken by the school rock band that performed at the ball, so I had to choose the name "Megavolt". In some series, he acts in a duet with Kvaga.

Dr. Reginald Bushroot (voiced by Alexei Borzunov) is a former scientist. He has a telepathic connection with plants (about the same as Poison Ivy in the Batman animated series). Due to an unsuccessful experiment, he himself became half a representative of the flora. The only parts from a duck are the beak, eyes, and the bird-shaped legs-roots.

Kvaga (Quackerjack, voiced by Dmitry Polonsky) is a former toy manufacturer who became a criminal due to the fact that his toys fell out of favor due to video games. In some series, he acts in a duet with Megavolt.

Liquigad (The Liquidator, voiced by Vadim Andreev, Alexander Ryzhkov - only said the phrase "Kick the spirit out of him!" in the series "Adventure and Punishment") - real name: Pad Flood (Bud Flud). He increased sales of his company's water by poisoning the water of competitors. After falling into poisoned water, he gained the ability to control water.

V. A. O. N. (F. O. W. L.) - World Association of Inveterate Scoundrels (Fiendish Organization for World Larceny).

Steel Beak (Steelbeak, voiced by Boris Tokarev) is the main agent of V. A. O. N. In submission, he has egg-headed drakes, who are not distinguished by great intelligence. Witty, stylishly dressed, always trying to please the top management of the V. A. O. N. His clothes and manner of speaking are reminiscent of James Bond.
