**Launchpad McQuack** is the pilot and chauffeur of Scrooge McDuck.

## Personality

A lovable buffoon, Launchpad McQuack may seem absent-minded, yet despite often making mistakes, he always gets his assigned task done competently in the end and as such, he is a valuable helper for Scrooge McDuck. Launchpad is a gentle giant, and also very charming and witty. Additionally, Launchpad remains calm and positive in extreme and intense scenarios, never panicking or losing his cool. In fact, the only thing that comes close to scaring Launchpad is Scrooge's temper tantrums.

## Abilities

Launchpad can drive cars, aeroplanes, submarines, etc. in spite of having never taken a flying lesson and only recently having got his driver's licence. Albeit, it inevitably always ends in him crashing, at least partially by design. Crashing may not sound like an ability at first glance, but it and Launchpad's guts have got Scrooge and his family out of multiple scrapes.

## Relationships

### Dewey Duck

Out of the triplets, Launchpad is the closest to Dewey - in fact, Launchpad considers Dewey as his best friend, and occasionally refers to Huey and Louie as "Dewey's brothers". In "Terror of the Terra-firmians!" Launchpad is worried that Dewey might be possessed by a mole-monster. In "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!" the two of them hang out together, and Launchpad introduces Dewey to his favourite TV show, Darkwing Duck. Launchpad also asks clothing advice from Dewey. In "Jaw$!", when Dewey gets eaten by Tiffany, Launchpad wakes up in the middle of the night because he senses his best friend is in danger and takes Donald's Houseboat to the Money Bin to rescue Dewey.
### Scrooge McDuck

Launchpad is Scrooge's chauffeur and pilot. Scrooge's approval means a lot to Launchpad. Scrooge once called Launchpad 'as crazy and dangerous' as Scrooge himself is.
