Biography
Quackerjack was a male duck who was once the owner of a profitable toy company, until he lost all of his money due to a rival company's record-breaking sales of the popular video game Wiffle Boy. Afterward, Quackerjack went insane, began talking to a Mr. Banana Brain doll, and, dressed as a jester, began committing acts of crime and sabotage such as blowing up a warehouse full of Wiffle Boy games. He attempted to sabotage a video game tournament in order to destroy "Wifflemania" once and for all, but wound up trapped inside the game where he was eaten by an alligator.
He later escaped, however, and joined Negaduck's Fearsome Five, although like Bushroot he still sometimes went solo. Quackerjack's evil schemes always revolve around toys, which he designs himself to have a variety of dangerous built-in weapons, and he finds humor in almost everything, including and especially the misfortunes of others. When a member of the Fearsome Five, he is usually paired off with Megavolt, who claims they "make an electrifying team."
Overview
Personality and attributes
Mad as a hatter, tailor, shoemaker and blacksmith put together. Childish, petty, delusional and prone to mood swings, Quackerjack is unstable and though usually in a jolly mood, this can quickly change if properly provoked. Despite this madness, he is in possession of a keen intellect, though his jester-like behavior contradicts this he is able to form semi-coherent plans and set them in motion.
Mr. Banana Brain was a banana-headed doll that Quackerjack seems to always have with him. Mr. Banana Brain was the closest thing Quackerjack had to a recurring sidekick, as he frequently made him 'talk' via ventriloquism.
Powers and abilities
Quackerjack possesses no superhuman abilities, though that makes him no less dangerous than any other villain. He does not have any superpowers officially, but does claim to possess a kind of 'Wackiness' inherent in him. While no martial artist, Quackerjack is also incredibly athletic, capable of performing perfect backflips and impressive leaps. In fact, his acrobatic affinity and use of lethal gadgets make him a top tier villain, also, his madness makes him highly unpredictable.
