Counting Stars feat. Disney Villains

***Counting Stars feat. Disney Villains*** is a live-action webcast — a parody of a music video wherein the band OneRepublic performed a Disney reimagining of their notorious song *Counting Stars*, featuring Ursula, Grimhilde, Hades, Maleficent, Jafar, Cruella De Vil and Scar.

## Plot

Watching over Scar's rise to the throne, other villains of old bemoan that their schemes were not as successful as the new Lion King's… in song!

### Continuity

* Scar is declaring himself King, suggesting the minisode takes place during the events of *The Lion King* (1994).
* The webcast concurs with *Mickey's Magical Christmas - Snowed In At The House of Mouse* (1999) and *Disney Villains: The Essential Guide* (2004) that Maleficent's horns are some form of headwear, as opposed to actual horns.

## Behind the scenes

This short was released on YouTube in October of 2014 on the official Oh My Disney YouTube channel.
Cogs (2017 Continuum)

The **Cogs** are sentient robots created in the 2017 Continuum by Gyro Gearloose, and that universe's counterparts to the original Cogs. At some point after their creation they-like several of Gyro's other inventions-turned evil.

## Behind the scenes

These versions of the Cogs were first mentioned in the *DuckTales 2017* episode *The Great Dime Chase*.
Creepworm (Glowing Caves of Swaatch)

## Creepworms

 **Creepworms** are a species of monster found in the Glowing Caves of Swaatch.

## Description

Alistair Neezley once claimed that, during an adventure in the Glowing Caves of Swaatch, he found himself surrounded on all sides by monsters called Creepworms. However, considering Neezley's track record, the veracity of this claim is likely tenuous at best.

## Behind the scenes

Creepworms are mentioned in the 2019 *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* story *Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market*. They share their names with a species of Heartless featured as minor enemies in the *Kingdom Hearts* franchise, although it is unclear if this is a coincidence or if the Creepworms encountered by Neezley were in fact of this type.
Davy Jones

***This is a disambiguation page for "Davy Jones". By "Davy Jones", you might mean:***

* **Davy Jones**, a mythical being living in Neverland, source of the saying ’Davy Jones' locker‘;
* **Davy Jones**, a mutant killer shark produced by Belgravian scientists, seen in *The Ulysses Syndrome*;
* **Davy Jones**, a cursed pirate from the LIAR Universe;
* ***Lost Beneath the Sea***, a 1963 story also known as *Lost in Davy Jones' Locker*.

DT-87 Drone

## The DT-87 Drone(2017 Continuum)

The **DT-87 Drone** is a non-sentient security drone from the 2017 Continuum

## Description

The DT-87 Drone is a hovering robot of limited intelligence, which was purchased by Scrooge McDuck in 2018 to guard McDuck Manor against intruders — much to the delight of Webby Vanderquack (who thought its fighting abilities, which included melting through solid steel, absolutely awesome).

On the very day it was installed in the Manor, however, the Drone threatened to disintegrate Dewey Duck, having confused playacting for an actual cry of help from his room. To save him, Webby hijacked the Drone, ripping out wiring to hide inside its casing and control it from within.

This worked as a prank, but when she came out of the shell, the Drone resumed function — only, much, much stupider and more aggressive than it had been previously, because of the damage she had dealt to its processing circuits. Going haywire, the Drone transported Dewey and Webby to Drake Estate, where Webby finally managed to reprogram it to take them (along with Huey and Louie, who had both washed up at Drake Estate on their own) back to the Manor.

The drone was still disabled a week later, which enabled Black Heron's fraudulous entry into McDuck Manor.

## Behind the scenes

The DT-87 Drone appears in the 2018 *DuckTales 2017* episode *Day of the Only Child*.

Like with the DT-87 Security System of *McMystery at McDuck McManor*, “DT-87” is an allusion to the original 1987 *DuckTales* series' name. According to Frank Angones, the DT-87 Drone is actually an upgrade of the Security System seen previously, rather than just a namesake.

In December of 2018, the story *The Incredible Shrinking Webby* introduced a group of sentient robots whose design was inspired by the Drone, the Robotic Antibodies. It is possible that, in-universe, Gyro Gearloose drew inspiration from the Drone when designing them.
Dan McShrew

**Dan McShrew** is a male anthropomorphic shrew.

## Description

Dan McShrew is a greedy, conscience-deprived crook whose treachery landed him in San Quintin Penitentiary. He was freed on parole for good behavior, a parole which he violted by leaving Earth for the Moon as part of the 1964 Lunar Gold Rush. He had enlisted the help of corrupted Junior Woodchuck Mr Noble to build a rocket, only to betray Noble and leave him to die on the Moon. There, McShrew attempted to steal Scrooge McDuck's lucrative store, again leaving Scrooge and his nephews to die, but they were able to make their way back to the store and defeat McShrew. As the Lunar Gold Rush came to an end, McShrew was flown back to Earth where, Duckburg justice being what it is, he was condemned to pay a five-dollar fine.

## Behind the scenes

Dan McShrew only ever appeared in the 1964 story *The Loony Lunar Gold Rush*, in which he serves as the main antagonist.
Deadhead-167

**Deadhead-167**, who wears the serial number **176-167**, is a male anthropomorphic dog

## Description

Deadhead-167 is an American Beagle Boy known for his inexplicable proclivity for being hit on the head — both intentionally and unintentionally. In 1969, he spent some time in Duckburg with the classic Beagle Boys, and was involved in their plot to use the Flying Shoes for crimes. He was the one chosen to wear the Flying Shoes after the Beagles' discovered the shoes' tendency to let their wearer drop down headfirst, under the reasoning that his many years of similar cranial trauma had rendered Deadhead largely immune to this sort of injury.

## Behind the scenes

Deadhead-167 was only ever seen in the 1969 story *The Flight of the Bumbleduck*.

It is obvious enough that Deadhead is not the same 176-167 usually seen among the regular Duckburg Beagle Boys, as these never exhibit any personal traits or nicknames in other series, and, indeed, make a point of only being referred to by their serial numbers. Through what sequence of events Deadhead came to share a number with the other 176-167 is unknown.
Cupid Homeworld

## The Cupid Homeworld

 The **Cupid Homeworld**, or just **the Homeworld**, is a parallel universe.

## Description

Discovered (or possibly created) by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids and their Creatrs, the Cupid Homeworld is a dimension of semi-solid fluffy clouds and blue skies, which they use as their home base, traveling to other universes aboard Fog Ships. It is the location of the Cupid Parliament and of the Cupid Intelligence Institute.

## Behind the scenes

The Cupid Homeworld was first seen in the comic *Why Doth Love Sting So?*.
Cupid Fact File No. 94 — The Euclidean Plane

***Cupid Fact Fiel #94 — The Euclidean Plane*** is a prose story, written by Lupan Evezan. The first *Cupid Fact File*, it features the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids and also mentions Mr Rectangle, Miss Bubble, and, in their debuts, the Mechanical Sphinx and Doki Dick.

## Description

Like other *Cupid Fact Files*, the short story purports itself to be a digitized version of a file from the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Archives, detailing information about a target that is, or was once, of interest to the Crew. In this case, it is the dimension known as the Euclidean Plane, with information about its inhabitants, fauna and culture, as well as the proper Cupid behavior if one finds himself in the Euclidean Plane.

### References

* The rectangular race to which Mr Rectangle and Miss Bubble is known as Geometrons, and includes Tangulars, Spheroids, Triangries, Octasers, Stelloids and the elusive Pulsatons.
* The File also details the fauna of the Euclidean Plane, including Dats, Lineas, and Ambagesques.
* Geometron Government is described; it holds seat in the Geometron Pentagon and consists of a lawmaking body, whose drafts are then voted upon by the population. The most recent and most unanimously-accepted law was that banning all Copper-Colored Cupids from entering the Plane, a decision with which they have, of course, not complied.

### Continuity

* The events of the cartoon *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* (2019) are referenced, along with its unwilling stars Mr Rectangle and Miss Bubble.
* The additional breeds of Geometrons described in the Fact File, for their part, debuted in the video game *Cupid Chaos!* (2019). It is mentioned that “some Cupids feel a so-called healing effect” in the presence of the elusive Pulsatons; this references the fact that in the game, approaching a Pulsaton restored health points to the player character (a Cupid).
* It is mentioned that one Cupid was “lost” in dogged pursuit of one particular Pulsaton called Doki Dick. The story of this Cupid, dubbed Tracker-764, provided the main plot of *The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane* (2019).

## Behind the scenes

This short story was released in 2019 on the *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* website.
Crystal Cage

The **Crystal Cage** was a magical medallion created by D'Shane.

## Description

D'Shane created the Crystal Cage to entrap Solego. D'Shane challenged Solego to a fight, and then used a polished shield to reflect Solego's magic back at him, splitting Solego in two. Solego's mind was trapped in the medallion's crystal, and his powers were trapped in the gold casing. D'Shane then stuck the two halves in a block of jade to prevent them from touching, for if they are ever joined together, it will free Solego.

Professor Potsherd discovered the Crystal Cage on an archaeological expedition to Rakkinroon. Unfortunately, he lost it shortly thereafter in a raid by Sky Pirates. The gold setting was found by Scrooge McDuck while diving off the coast of Wauie-Zauie. The crystal was found by Rebecca Cunningham. Upon touching it, she was possessed by Solego and forced to try to help him find the gold setting. She was ultimately freed, and the crystal was cast into the sea.

The crystal passed through many hands through the years, until Solego possessed Peg-Leg Pete's new car one day. After Solego totalled the car, he called the towing company, allegedly in Scrooge's name, and told them to tow the car to the Money Bin. After trying to explain to the towing company that Scrooge did not want the car, Fenton Crackshell glanced under the car's hood and encountered the crystal. Before it was able to possess him entirely, Fenton summoned the Gizmosuit. Solego then lost interest in Fenton, and possessed the Gizmosuit instead. Solego first broke into the Money Bin to look for the gold setting, then when he discovered it wasn't there, he went to the jewellers in St. Canard where Scrooge was having it polished. Solego got it and freed himself. Darkwing Duck ultimately managed to reimprison Solego by using a satellite dish, the same way that D'Shane used his polished shield. The two halves of the medallion were then returned to the block of jade, which was buried deep within Scrooge's Money Bin.

## Behind the scenes

The Crystal Cage is the main macguffin in the 1994 story *The Legend of the Chaos God*.
Copenhagen

**Copenhagen** is the capital city of Denmark.

## Description

Copenhagen was blighted by the "Water Horse", an alleged cryptid that terrorized the Copenhageners and always managed to retreat to the Peblinge Sø Lake before being caught. Leo van Cortex, a Copenhagener teamed up with Donald Duck and Fethry Duck in order to track down the horse to prove its existence and save Copenhagen from it. However, the horse eventually turned out to just be a racing horse from the Royal Stables of Christiansborg Castle.

### Locations

* Airport Kastrup
* World Biological Information Facility
* Peblinge Sø Lake
* Landemærket and Købmagergade
* Christiansborg Castle
* Royal Stables

* **Daisy Duck**, an anthropomorphic duck, recurring character and Donald Duck's girlfriend;
* **Daisy Duck**, the 2017 counterpart to the same character;
* **Daisy Duck**, the above character's counterpart in the Donaldless Continuum;

Dallben

**Master Dallben the Enchanter** is or was a human being.

## Description

An extremely old and knowledgeable wizard, and a friend to the Fair Folk of Prydain, the enchanter Dallben lived in the Dark Ages in a farm called Caer Dallben and was among other things the keeper of the oracular pig Hen Wen. Thanks to her power, he foresaw an age of war and strife and decided to train a young apprentice to help with the darkness to come; travelling away from Caer Dallben, he found an orphaned baby in a land that had been ravaged by war, and raised the boy, whom he called Taran.

When Taran (who did not know of Hen Wen's true abilities, for all that he was her keeper) reached the age of 14, Hen Wen began growing restless. Reluctantly, Dallben let her use her gift, and learned of the Horned King's quest for the Black Cauldron. Unfortunately, activating Hen Wen's gift allowed the King to learn of her existence.
Deducing the King would seek out Hen Wen to exploit her gift to find the Cauldron, Dallben sent Taran into hiding with Hen Wen in a cottage near the Forbidden Forest. Taran failed to get Hen Wen there safely, but though his adventures were far from over, eventually managed to let her escape from the Horned King's Castle, from which she found her way back to Caer Dallben. There, Dallben used her gift to look on to Taran, Princess Eilonwy, Fflewddur Fflam andGurgi's subsequent adventures.

## Gallery

***Scrooge McDuck Wiki*** has a collection of images and media related to ***Dallben***.
## Behind the scenes

Dallben first appeared in 1985 in *The Black Cauldron*. He is based on the enchanter of the same name in Lloyd Alexander's *Chronicles of Prydain*, although he also takes on some elements from the character of Coll, a humble farmer and friend of Dallben who lived with him in Caer Dallben. Interestingly, early concepts kept Dallben his Merlin-like beard from the books, and the screenwriters toyed with the idea of having Dallben turn out to be a villain.

Lloyd Alexander's books expound much more on Dallben's biography, showing him to have been raised in infanthood by the Witches of Morva themselves, and to be considered the greatest enchanter in Prydain (where the film's Dallben never shows any magical abilities aside from controlling Hen Wen's powers). He is also revealed to have been 379 years old at the books' beginning; it is unknown if Dallben was truly immortal thanks to his magic, and, therefore, whether he might still be alive in the present day.

### Notes and References

1. ↑ In the original *Chronicles of Prydain* books, Dallben is 379 years old at the beginning of the story; it is unknown whether this is also true of his Duckverse counterpart.
Clocktower Cleaners

First page of the story.

***Clockwtower Cleaners*** is a comic story, the first in the *Epic Mickey: Tales of Wasteland* series, written by Peter David and drawn by Claudio Sciarrone. It features Oswald Rabbit, Animatronic Donald Duck, Animatronic Goofy, the Mad Doctor, Big Bad Pete and the Clock Tower. Ortensia Rabbit, the Bunny Children and Wasteland's Horace Horsecollar are featured, as is a statue of Walt Disney.

## Plot

The Mad Doctor warns Oswald that the Clock Tower has gone quite dusty and is even blowing dirt onto the rest of Wasteland. He and his friends Donald and Goofy go off to get it cleaned up — but a misunderstanding and the Tower's music-induced crankiness soon cause a fight to break out instead!

### Continuity

* The title is a reference to *Clock Cleaners* (1937), which featured Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.
* The Clock Tower is starting to go mad from the music playing on a loop inside it; with it combined with the corrupting influence of the Blot, it is shown to have gone *completely* mad at the beginning of *Epic Mickey* (2010).

## Behind the scenes

*Clocktower Cleaners* was released online in 2010 alongside the rest of *Epic Mickey: Tales of Wasteland*. It has been released in print in Brazil, Italy and the Netherlands, but not in English.
Conscience Mission

First page of the story.

***Conscience Mission*** is a comic story by an unknown writer and drawn by Pete Alvarado. It features Li'l Bad Wolf, Jiminy Cricket, Zeke Wolf and the Three Little Pigs.

## Plot

Li'l Bad Wolf enlists Jiminy Cricket to act as a conscience for his 'pop' the Big Bad Wolf. However, the task is harder than it seems, because Zeke isn't exactly the type to blindly obey a little voice under his hat and believe that it is just his conscience.

## Behind the scenes

This story was only ever printed in the United States of America in September of 1978 in *Walt Disney's Comics and Stories* #456. It was also printed in English in the Australian *Walt Disney's Comics and Stories* #1 and British *Mickey Mouse* #207.
Darth Vader

**Darth Vader** is a humanoid cyborg.

## Description

Darth Vader is a villainous galactic dictator and ‘Sith Lord’, never seen out of his scary black armor, and usually flanked by his white-armored Stormtroopers. Though he is feared throughout the universe, he is not without a sense of fun and was once seen enjoying himself like a kid when visiting Earth's Disneyland.

Interestingly, Vader is known on Earth as a movie character, as a cinematic version of him is the main antagonist of the *Star Wars* film series. This makes him a famed villain even on Earth, such that when boasting of his own evil, the Phantom Blot once claimed that he "made Darth Vader look about as scary as a Christmas tree ornament".
He also once fought Buck Skyrunner and Countess Leïla, which (since Buck and Leïla's adventures were relayed on Earth as a series of best-selling books) led to action figures bearing Vader's likenesses becoming commonplace in Mouseton.

## Behind the scenes

A version of *Star Wars*’s Darth Vader (a universe whose relationship to Disney Comics canon remains unclear), the Disney version of Darth Vader was first mentioned in the *DuckTales* episode *All Ducks On Deck*. An action figure depicting him is seen in *Daughter of the Phantom Blot*, and he also stars in the webcast *Darth Vader Goes to Disneyland*. Owing to his appearance in the Disneyland Paris ride *Star Tours - The Adventure Continues*, Vader also has a choice cameo in the 2020 webcast *Where Magic Gets Real*.
Daughter of the Phantom Blot

First page of the story.

***Daughter of the Phantom Blot*** (***La Fille du Fantôme Noir*** in the original French) is a comic story written by Jérôme Wicky and Jean-Marc Lainé, and drawn by Gen-Clo. It features Minnie Mouse, Clarabelle Cow, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, the debuts of Rosa, Buck Skyrunner, Countess Leïla, Mrs Pigeonnot and the Killer Robots, and flashback appearances of Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse. Mickey Mouse, Horace Horsecollar and Inspector Pigeonnot are also mentioned, and a Darth Vader action figure can be glimpsed.

## Description

Daisy Duck, Minnie Mouse and Clarabelle Cow are being interviewed by TV journalist Rosa as part of a plateau of "famous adventurers' female sidekicks" alongside Countess Leïla and Mrs Pigeonnot when the already-grating event is interrupted by a high-tech-equipped supervillainess who introduces herself as the Daughter of the Phantom Blot, and plans to put all of Calisota under her hypnotic control!

### References

* Buck Skyrunner and Countess Leïla's adventures are the subject of a best-selling book series. Its Book 2 is *The Grandsire Strikes Back* while its upcoming Book 3 is to be titled *Return of the Necktie*.
* The Phantom Blot's Daughter utilizes futuristic technology such as her belt buckle (which materializes her costume) and Killer Robots created by modifying Rosa's film cameras.

### Continuity

* The Phantom Blot's Daughter broadcasts hypnotic spirals on television as part of her scheme, imitating her father's memorable scheme from *The Blot's Double Mystery* (1955).
* Mrs Pigeonnot mentions that Minnie Mouse has helped Mickey Mouse battle the Phantom Blot on numerous occasions. This is true.

## Behind the scenes

This story was first printed in April of 2006 in the French *Le Journal de Mickey* #2808. It has not known an official English printing to date.
Crete

**Crete** is an island in Greece.

## Locations

* Cretan Port
* Knossos
* Knossos Palace
* Labyrinth
* Cretan Hotel
* Ironworks
* Hardware Market
* Silversmith
* Tin-Maker
* Junkyard

## Behind the scenes

Crete, the biggest island of Greece, was the 'playground' where Carl Bark's classic adventure story, 'The Fabulous Philosopher's Stone' took place.

According to the Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook, Crete was the headquarters of the Saracen pirates who also used to have a haven built in the North Coast of Sicily. They had built a city in a great cave called the 'Labyrinth'.

Apparently, the 'Labyrinth' was indeed the mythical labyrinth where the Minotaur resided. According to the Guidebook, the Labyrinth was near the ruins of the palace of King Minos, but it remains undiscovered, due to an earthquake which stroke hundreds of years ago, blocking the entrance of the complex.

Notably, all the stores are referred to in singular number, from which we can deduce that the story takes place in a part of a single Cretan city. That would be most probably Heraklion, the modern city in which the archaeological site of Knossos is located.

## In the actual world

Crete (Greek: Κρήτη; [kriti]) is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands, the fifth-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, and one of the thirteen administrative regions of Greece. It forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece while retaining its own local cultural traits (such as its own dialect, poetry, and music). Crete was the centre of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), the earliest civilization in Europe, comprising the first palaces in Europe.
Darkwing Duck: The Movie Kickstarter Project

***Darkwing Duck: The Movie Kickstarter Project*** is a *Funny Or Die* live-action sketch with animated segment. Written and directed by Matt Mazany, it starred Jim Cummings as a parody version of himself intent on developing a *Darkwing Duck* spinoff movie all by himself. Several clips from Cummings's movie are seen, featuring Darkwing Duck, Gosalyn Mallard, Launchpad McQuack, Negaduck and the rest of the Fearsome Five (Liquidator, Bushroot, Megavolt and Quackerjack).

## Description

Jim Cummings wants to collect crowdfunding donations for his project of a *Darkwing Duck* movie! Which he's developed by himself! Of course, he's a bit out of practice… and can't animate to save his life… and is stuck doing all of the voices, including Gosalyn's… and doesn't own the *Darkwing Duck* copyright… and… oh dear.

### Continuity

* The *DuckTales 2017* episode *The Duck Knight Returns* (2019) focused on an attempt by filmmaker Alistair Boorswan to get a bizarrely bad *Darkwing Duck* feature film off the ground. Jim Cummings returned as Jim Starling, depicted as the actor who originally played Darkwing and is now determined to do so again at all costs even though his conviction that he's "still got it" isn't actually rooted anywhere near reality — not unlike the way Jim Cummings is depicted in the sketch.

## Behind the scenes

The short sketch was released on 2013 as an April Fools prank by the comedy team *Funny Or Die* on their website.
Colossus of Rhodes

## The Colossus of Rhodes

The **Colossus of Rhodes** is a robot.

## Description

The Colossus of Rhodes is a gigantic automaton created by Ancient Greek engineer Chares of Lindos around 290 B.C. to help and protect the Island of Rhodes. Though the Colossus's body was the work of Chares, its programming was contained in three disks of unknown nature, which originated in Atlantis. The original disks, yellow, green and blue, corresponded to three settings: the yellow disk made the Colossus defend the island from invaders, the green one made it help with heavylifting, and the third was a failsafe that would make the Colossus head off to Atlantis if it was in need of repairs.

After a King of Rhodes grew power-hungry, a fourth disk was built, meant to go in the slot normally reserved for the blue disk: the Black Disk, built for war. Fortunately, the inner workings of the Colossus contained a failsafe that would prevent the Colossus from being used for war, and as a result, it short-circuited when the Black Disk was installed. Before the powerless inhabitants of Rhodes' very eyes, the Colossus walked into the see, never to return, before growing still at the very bottom.

In 2005, a diver named Pericles found the frozen Colossus. Amazed, he cut out the Black Disk to bring back a proof of his discovery. Unbeknownst to Pericles, this unjammed the Colossus, who reverted to Yellow Disk mode, patrolling the sea to protect Rhodes. Meanwhile, power-hungry maniac Doctor Malvazar had been constructing a war-oriented copy of the Colossus from Chares' original plan, the Shadow Colossus, but still needed the Black Disk to make it work.

The carved-out Disk ended up in Malvazar's possession and the Shadow Colossus went on a brief rampage. It was, however, delayed by the original Colossus who fought back, before the failsafe (that Malvazar had unwittingly replicated in the Shadow Colossus) kicked in and the humongous machine collapsed. Having been damaged in the fight, the Colossus got Eurasia Toft to put the Blue Disk back where it belonged, and the battered Colossus subsequently headed off to Atlantis.

## Behind the scenes

The Colossus of Rhodes was first seen in the 2005 story *Mickey Mouse and the Shadow of the Colossus*.
Concavian Cabinet

## The Concavian Cabinet

The **Concavian Cabinet** is an organization comprising half a dozen female concavians.

## Description

The Concavian Royal Cabinet is an institution of the Kingdom of Concavia, whose purpose is to assist and counsel the King — prior to the conflict's end in 1954, this primarily concerned the war with the Twitz. When Mickey Mouse was appointed the King of Concavia, the Cabinet included a Secretary of the Army, a Secretary of the Navy, and a Secretary of the Interior, as well as a few other unidentified Secretaries. Perhaps coincidentally, all of the Secretaries were beautiful women.

## Behind the scenes

The Concavian Cabinet appears to the 1954 comic serial *A Fatal Occupation*.
Darth Vader Spends a Day in Disneyland Park

***Darth Vader Spends a Day in Disneyland Park*** is a brief written story by Erin Glover. Supposedly written by Glover's in-universe counterpart, it tells of Darth Vader.

## Description

Journalist Erin Glover presents an article about intergalactic evildoer Darth Vader's recent visit to Disneyland.

## Behind the scenes

This short story was released in June of 2011 on the official *Disney Parks Blog*, tying in with the release of the webcast *Darth Vader Goes to Disneyland*.
Department of Chemistry

## The Departmentof Chemistry

 The **Department of Chemistry** is one of the departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself part of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The Department of Chemistry is tasked with producing whatever chemicals the Crew might need. Originally, this would have included the task of producing Love Potion using the Creator's formula, but after the original Prefect lost the formula, the Cupids instead began getting their supply of Potion from the goddess Aphrodite herself. It is unclear what responsibilities this leaves for the Department.

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Chemistry was mentioned in the 2019 story *Cupid Fact File No. 001 — The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*.
Dance with Destiny

First page of the story.

 ***Dance with Destiny*** is an unofficial comic story written and drawn by Sarah Jolley. It features Gladstone Gander, Magica De Spell, Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Goldie O'Gilt and Daisy Duck. The story serves as a sequel to *The Sorceress's Apprentice*, again calling back to *A Gal for Gladstone*.

## Plot

Magica De Spell plans to steal Scrooge McDuck's Number One Dime from him at a dance contest, disguising herself as his planned dance partner. However, Goldie O'Gilt unexpectedly volunteers as Scrooge's partner, leaving Magica to become that of Gladstone Gander. Gladstone quickly sees through her disguise but his pride won't let him retract from the contest…

## Behind the scenes

This story is one of a series of unofficial homages to the characters written and drawn by Sarah Jolley (author of the acclaimed comic *The Property of Hate*). It was released in 2017 for free on the Internet.
David Duck

**David Duck** is or was a hybrid of anthropomorphic duck and anthropomorphic coot.

## Description

David Duck was the son of a a daughter of Cornelius Coot and a certain Mr Duck, making him a first cousin of Grandma Duck. Though red-haired and preferring a thin green top hat to Cornelius's more conventional pilgrim hat, David bore a startling resemblance to his notorious grandfather. Little is known about David's life, including whether or not he is still alive in the present day.

## Behind the scenes

This David Duck only ever appeared on Johannes A. Grote's Duck Family Tree from 1999.

Like Erasmus Coot, he is a result of a translation inconsistency: in the original German version of Carl Barks's *The Day Duckburg Got Dyed*, Cornelius Coot's name was translated as "David Duck" rather than his usual German name "Emil Erpel". This forced Grote, working off these translations, to come to the conclusion that David was a close relative of Cornelius's; in this case, his grandson. As such, the image of David employed in the tree was a recolored, subtly altered version of Barks's depiction of Cornelius Coot in *The Day Duckburg Got Dyed*.
Corey Burton

**Corey Burton** is an American actor, voice actor, and singer best known as the current voices of Ludwig von Drake, Captain Hook, Gruffi Gummi, and many other characters for numerous Disney projects, as well as characters from Star Wars: The Clone Wars(including Count Dooku, Cad Bane, and Ziro the Hutt) and other animations.

He has also done a lot of narration work. In 2000, Burton was called in to dub over Deems Taylor's narration in Fantasia. This was done as when the restoration team was preparing Fantasia, some of Taylor's narration was missing or in too bad condition to be publicly released. So, Burton re-dubbed all of the film's dialogue to give it a consistent flow. He has also narrated several Disney documentaries and bonus features, such as The Story Behind Fun and Fancy Free, Bambi: The Magic Behind the Masterpiece, and The Jungle Book: The Making of a Musical Masterpiece. He also provided voice work in several attractions at Disney theme parks, most notably as the monorail tram narration at Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resort.

Captain Boiler

**Captain Boiler** is a male dognose.

## Description

Captain Boiler is a one-eyed sailorman and ruthlesss bandit. Boiler became Count Zoox's associate (though he didn't appear to formally be a member of the Horde of the Violet Hare) and served as the quartermaster of his plan to extract Orichalcum from Atlantean ruins. Like the Count, Captain Boiler was evil enough to have no qualms about murdering all the miners who took part in the project just to cover his tracks. Naturally, neither plan succeeded, thanks to Eurasia Toft, Mickey Mouse and Goofy.

## Behind the scenes

Captain Boiler was first seen in the story *Dark Mines of the Phantom Metal*, written in 2007 and published in 2011.

Department of Cinematography

## The Department of Cinematography

The **Department of Cinematography** is one of the Departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The Cupids' Department of Cinematography's purpose seems simply to be the creation and screening of films created by and for Cupids. A majority of these, for obvious reasons, are romances, but they have also created the fantasy cartoon series *The Rainbow Kids* and a "horror film," *The Cupid Who Hated Love*.

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Cinematography was first mentioned in 2019's *The Labors of Juliet*.
Danger Island (location)

**Danger Island** is an uncharted tropical island.

## Description

A fairly large tropical island, the uncharted Danger Island was purchased by Count Von Turpentine as his place of exile following the 1990's Brutopian uprising; there, he built and inhabited a luxurious Château. After Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck were shipwrecked on Danger Island and Von Turpentine attempted to hunt them like big game *à la* “Most Dangerous Game”, however, Von Turpentine was arrested. The current status of Danger Island is unclear, although Scrooge had expressed interest in purchasing it from Von Turpentine prior to learning his true intentions, making it quite possible that he managed to get ownership of the place after Turpentine's arrest.

## Behind the scenes

Danger Island is the main setting of the 1993 comic story *A-Hunting We Will Go*. It is not named in-story, the name "Danger Island" instead coming from the title used for the story in its 1994 American printing (where it was retitled *Danger Island*).
Cupid Chaos!

***Cupid Chaos!*** was an online video game, one of the earliest media published on the *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* website. Written and coded by Lupan Evezan, it features a nondescript member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids as well as a variety of Geometrons.

## Plot

A member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids flies through a dimension of shapes, intent on romanticizing as many of the strange geometrical inhabitants as he can. However, more and more dangerous varieties begin to show up. Can he romanticize as many as he's been asked to before running out of arrows — or lifeforce?

### Continuity

* Like in their first appearance in 2019 on *Joe Torcivia's The Issue At Hand*, the Cupids talk in rhyme, a trait dropped in later appearances.
* The Cupids are once again romanticizing sentient animated shapes, now of more varieties than just squares and circles — as in their first cartoon, *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* (2019). The lore of these geometrical creatures would later be established in *Cupid Fact File No. 94 — The Euclidean Plane* (2019).

## Behind the scenes

*Cupid Chaos!* was released on March the 20th, 2019 on the *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* website
Cyril McDuck

**Cyril McDuck** is an anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

A tall cousin of Scrooge McDuck, Cyril was banished from the McDuck Clan after failing a "stinginess test" overseen by Titus McDuck, by using the half-a-pound note he had been given to buy candy to other children rather than saving it as he was expected to. Cyril lived his whole life in a very foggy part of Highlands, where he became a goatherd. In 1960, Scrooge McDuck asked Donald Duck to get him a picture of Cyril for his collection of McDuck memorabilia, as he had not heard from Cyril since that fateful day in their youth. Though the fog made it somewhat difficult, the picture was eventually taken.

## Behind the scenes

He first appeared in March of 1960 in *The Search for Cyril*.
Crying Island

Yellow Beak's memory of Captain Kidd's map of the island.

**Crying Island** is an island located in the Pacific Ocean, several days' sailing away from Duckburg.

## Description

Crying Island is the desert island on which the pirate Captain Kidd buried a chest full of gold. He consigned its location in writing in a map which was later located by Yellow Beak, allowing him, Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck to find the treasure in 1947. The only landmark on Crying Island marked out by the map was Buzzard Rock. After finding the treasure and making their way off the island, Yellow Beak and the Ducks left pirates Peg-Leg Pete, Red Eye and his his brother marooned there; when they saw the rogues begin wailing about their own stupidity in having destroyed their boat in the hope that it would cut off the Ducks' escape route, the Ducks quipped that this must be why the island was called “Crying Island”.

## Behind the scenes

Crying Island appears in the 1947 story *Donald Duck and the Pirates*.
Department of Mathematics

## The Department of Mathematics

 The **Department of Mathematics** is one of the Departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The remit of the Department of Mathematics appears to be the carrying out of simple computing within the Homeworld, at least when such a calculation's results need to be officially confirmed and recorded. During the “Sisters of Juliet” incident, they figured out that if all the Juliets insisted on going on their movie date with Romeo-1020, if one considered each date as lasting three hours on average, Romeo would need about 6 uninterrupted months to go through them all.

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Mathematics was only ever mentioned in 2019's *Incident Report C179B – “Of Romeos and Juliets”*.
D123-Blackheart

**D123-Blackheart** is a Clockwork Cherub.

## Description

D123-Blackheart is a member of the Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' villainous hate-spreading counterparts. Her Smog Ship was stolen by the Scarlet Wings during the Cupids' first encounter with the Discordias, temporarily stranding her in the Prime Universe.

## Behind the scenes

D123-Blackheart was introduced in a minor role in the 2019 *Crewof the Copper-Colored Cupids* *short story* Cupid Fact File No. 643 — The Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias*.*
Department of Physics

## The Department of Physics

 The **Department of Physics** is one of the Departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The Cupids' Department of Physics reacted with outrage to the Department of Cupid Anatomy's hypothesis that Pessimist-242's dour temper was due to his possessing a negatronic brain instead of a positronic one, as, according to the Cupid physicists, this is not actually physically possible.

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Physics was mentioned in 2019's *Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery*.
Coop

**Coop** is a human man.

## Description

Wearing the odd combo of a flashy purple uniform and sunglasses, Coop is a "very special agent for the FBI" and apparently something of a ladies' man, as he has a pin-up poster of Jessica Rabbit in his office and is usually backed by a "chorus" of like-uniformed secretaries who comment on his actions in rhyming song (rather like the Liquidator).

In 1991, Coop was tasked with retrieving the X-22 experimental aeroplane after it was stolen by Fat Cat and Don Karnage. Not feeling up to the task himself, he recruited the ace team of pilots of Captain Baloo, Launchpad McQuack, and Chip'n Dale (a well-inspired decision, as the heroes did in fact succeed in getting the vehicle back from the villains).

## Behind the scenes

Coop appears in the 1991 Disneyland stage play *Plane Crazy*. He was the only major character in the play not from one of the three Disney Afternoon animated series featured (*DuckTales*, *TaleSpin* and *Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers*), and the only major character who was not an anthropomorphic animal.

Some sources suggest that he was played by Carl Bell (as they credit him as as the show's "Host", a description that seems to best fit Coop).
Department of Construction

## The Department of Construction

 The **Department of Construction** is one of the Departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The Department of Construction, headed by the willful Prefect Foreman-964, handles new building projects within the Cupid Homeworld based on blueprints provided by the Department of Architecture. However, due to little more than Foreman's personal fondness for them, they principally spend their time building more and more humongous warehouses, most of which aren't actually of any use at all.

### Known members

* Foreman-964
* Excavator-1642

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Construction debuted in 2019's *Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery*.

Corvus von Drake

## Corvus von Drake(2017 Continuum)

**Corvus von Drake** is an anthropomorphic duck from the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

The loving tender-hearted son of Ludwig von Drake, to whom he bears a strong resemblance in voice and physical appearance, Corvus von Drake grew up to be a scientist like his father, though he is not as much of a genius, nor, thankfully, as eccentric, as the original Professor Von Drake. Alongside his sisters Klara and Anya, Corvus continues to take care of his father's magnum opus, the Von Drake Doomsday Vault.

## Behind the scenes

Corvus von Drake debuted in *Raiders of the Doomsday Vault*, a 2019 episode of *DuckTales 2017*.

The episode does not say who the Von Drake children's mother was, and Francisco Angones has, on *Frank Angones and the Suspenders of Disbelief*, refused to comment. Taking into account Klara's resemblance to the older Prime Matilda McDuck as depicted by Don Rosa, however, it is thought highly likely that in this continuity as well, Ludwig married Matilda. This does run into the snag that Scrooge, in his brief meeting with him, does not treat Corvus as his nephew, however.
Crocodile Time

***Crocodile Time*** is a comic strip written and drawn by Aristide Twain. It features a member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids and one of the Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles.

Daniel

**Daniel**, whose last name may be **Duck** or **Van Duck**, is presumably a male anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

Daniel is an uncle of Daisy Duck who married Dahlia. She met Daniel while wearing her heirloom bracelet, convincing her of its magical powers.

## Behind the scenes

Daniel is mentioned in the 1975 written story *The Bewitching Bracelet*.

It is unknown who of Daniel or Dahlia is truly Daisy Duck's blood relative (though having it be Daniel would allow for Dahlia to remain a mouse).
