Greedy Rival

**Duke Baloney**, better known by his persona of **Flintheart Glomgold**, is the secondary antagonist of the Disney animated reboot of the series *DuckTales*. He is the second-richest duck in the world who is simultaneously as loathsome and hilarious as a character can possibly be.

He was voiced by Keith Ferguson.

## His Qualities

### What Makes Him Entertaining?

* He is the very definition of hilarious with all manners of chaotic black comedy every single time he's in an episode, to the point that he tries to dance on Scrooge's fake coffin, has a year-long staring contest with a little baby, and is adamant about his Scottish persona to the point that he calls out Bradford Buzzard for not wearing a kilt as part of being an adequate supervillain even though he literally has no reason to be wearing one. In fact, Owlson once cuts his "dramatic entrance" budget. He also admits he's "the dumbest there's ever been," and he is not even remotely mistaken.
* He is affectionate to sharks, especially ones he calls "sharkas" and "his babies".
* No matter how well Scrooge gets to know him, he still almost manipulates him into getting himself killed alongside Mark Beaks and into giving him his company back in front of General Lunaris.
* As Duke Baloney, he was generally kind and friendly towards his fellow fishermen along with Webby and Louie.
* He is the one to come up with the plan to stop General Lunaris from taking Earth out of orbit, which would have caused billions of people to die from the drastic changes in temperature. This was after all of Scrooge's plans had completely backfired. He even explains to Lunaris that the moon is no planet, only for the delusional serial killer to yell at him to shut up and keep the truth to himself.
* He calls out Bradford for being a bad villain and escorts Magica when she takes him away.

### What Makes Him Detestable?

* He is an irredeemable psychopath and unbelievably petty and sadistic, hating Scrooge just because he underpaid him once when he was cleaning his shoes.
* He is incredibly rude to Zan Owlson when all she wants is to stop him from ruining his own company with his excessively self-indulgent scheming.
* He makes Scrooge think he has gold fever. When he seemingly dies, he comes to his funeral wearing all white and playing a Ludacris track, and attempts to dance victoriously on his coffin before Owlson arrives and stops him just in time, going to show just how psychopathic he is.
* He is so selfish that he tries to break into the Von Drake Doomsday Vault, steal its resources, and destroy the empty stronghold once he's taken what he wants from it.
* Intending to win a wager using any means necessary, he assembles a "family" of his own involving all the other non-F.O.W.L. villains of the show, and Clan Glomgold is born. This leads to a huge fight around the Money Bin and Louie briefly taking over McDuck Enterprises thanks to his sheer incompetence; he even claims to have "survived like a Scottish cockroach."
* He ensures his plan to stop General Lunaris has Scrooge dressing up as Santa Claus. Even Mrs. Beakley calls him out for going too far. Shortly afterward, he childishly claims to everyone that he has defeated Scrooge, even though, as Scrooge indeed acknowledges, both of them were on the same team.
* He builds a Ferris wheel with a hidden cannonball, intending to use it to destroy Scrooge's house. Made worse is how he manipulates Gibbous into aiding in this evil deed, and how he tries to use Penumbra as a scapegoat, which briefly re-ignites the poor Moonlander's misguided misanthropy. Talk about a "for the evulz" crime.
