Darkwing Duck is an American animated action-adventure comedy television series produced by Disney Television Animation ( formerly Walt Disney Television Animation ) that first ran from 1991 to 1992 on both the syndicated programming block The Disney Afternoon and Saturday mornings on ABC . It features the adventures of Darkwing Duck , who is the superheroic alter-ego of an ordinary suburban person named Drake Mallard . Though originally believed by some fans to be a spin-off of the 1987 DuckTales series , creator Tad Stones stated in a 2016 report that he believes the two shows exist in different universes , despite DuckTales supporting characters Launchpad McQuack appearing on the series in a similar role to that the character plays in DuckTales as well as Gizmoduck appearing in a few episodes , and the fact that Scrooge McDuck , the main character of DuckTales , is mentioned in Darkwing Duck episode Tiff of the Titans .

A crossover between the Darkwing Duck comic series and the DuckTales comic series occurs respectively in the seventeenth and eighteenth issues and the fifth and sixth issues of the series .
The title character in a narrative work is one who is named or referred to in the title of the work . In a performed work such as a play or film , the performer who plays the title character is said to have the title role of the piece . The title of the work might consist solely of the title character 's name - such as Michael Collins or Othello - or be a longer phrase or sentence - such as The Autobiography of Malcolm X or The Adventures of Tom Sawyer . The title character is commonly - but not necessarily - the protagonist of the story . Narrative works routinely do not have a title character , and there is some ambiguity in what qualifies as one . Examples in various media include Aida in the opera of the same name , Giselle in the ballet of the same name , the Doctor in the TV series Doctor Who , Harry Potter in the series of novels and films , Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet in the play Romeo and Juliet , and Amos Jones and Andy Brown in the radio and TV dramas Amos ' n ' Andy .
