Character History: Brief summary of the Super Ducktales special on the Ducktales fandom wiki.

After having been hired by Scrooge as both his accountant and security guard, Fenton had quite a few adventures, mostly in Duckburg but also the rare out-of-country experience. He (hopefully!) learned a good lesson after the whole "Pep fiasco" about not running headlong into hare-brained schemes, disregarding warnings, and letting his ego ever get that big again. His relationship with Gandra Dee had it's ups-and-downs. Fenton showered Gandra with grand gestures of affection and over-the-top gifts, as it was the only way he knew how to get attention in the past... but to Gandra it felt as if he were smothering her. A robot of Gyro's that became obsessed with Gizmoduck showed how it felt to be on the other side of such intense affections, and Fenton has since tried to dial things back from then on. He slips up every now and again, but he has gotten better.

In trying to deal with a swarm of metal-eating metal mites, the "Mark 1" Gizmoduck suit was destroyed. I headcanon this as the 'official' last appearance of Gizmoduck in the Ducktales series (there was 1 more episode with the Gizmosuit produced/shown after this, but the actual timeline of events is never clear, so I feel 'Metal Mites' can easily be the last episode where the Gizmosuit is shown). Fenton was still able to use his wits in order to defeat the metal mites, but Gyro had to build a brand new Gizmosuit. This would be what I call the "Mark 2" suit, that appears in the Darkwing Duck episodes. It's slightly smaller in height than the Mark 1 suit, with the most distinctive difference being the white upper arms (shown in Darkwing Duck), as opposed to the black upper arms (shown in Ducktales).

As Gizmoduck, Fenton was initially unsure about Darkwing Duck. He felt Darkwing was a vigilante, acting above and beyond the law, and didn't quite trust him. The two got off to a rocky start, thanks to a set-up by Steelbeak, but after working together to stop him from stealing a prototype jet from the army, Gizmoduck's opinion of Darkwing Duck improved. (Darkwing in turn was not quite as impressed or friendly towards Giz still.) When Negaduck joined up with Megavolt, Quackerjack, Bushroot and the Liquidator to form the super-villain team The Fearsome Five, and took over the city of Saint Canard, Gizmoduck joined (a reluctant) Darkwing Duck, Morgana, Neptunia, and Stegmutt to form the super-hero team the Justice Ducks (even if two aren't ducks), in order to fight back. The Justice Ducks were eventually successful, freeing the city from the Fearsome Five's hold.

♦♦ TEXT REVIEWS ♦♦ If you DON'T want to go watching however-many-hours-of-TV... (or risk going to the site below, though it's never pinged my anti-virus... small reassurance, yeah ¬_¬) here are text-reviews of every Ducktales episode, found on this blog HERE. Scroll down to about the middle of the page to find the links to the reviews of the episodes I've named below.

Specific Episode links: Please note that I am NOT linking to any official site (I do not have Netflix or the like). I am linking to videos on the site kimcartoon.to - a very image + ad-heavy site. Ad-blockers HIGHLY RECOMMENDED... (there are a TON of these "don't get caught playing this game!!!" type ads there... but this is the only place I've found that I can watch the episodes...) I don't LIKE linking to places where I feel as if I have to say 'beware', but... ...beware...

● Fenton's introductory mini-series:
 ─ Super Ducktales part 1 - Liquid Assets
 ─ Super Ducktales part 2 - Frozen Assets
 ─ Super Ducktales part 3 - Full Metal Duck
 ─ Super Ducktales part 4 - The Billionare Beagle Boys Club
 ─ Super Ducktales part 5 - Money to Burn

● other episodes of note:
─ My Mother the Psychic - exploring Fenton's relationship with his M'ma.
─ Metal Attraction - exploring Fenton's relationship with Gandra Dee.
─ The Big Flub - Fenton at his absolute WORST.
─ A Case of Mistaken Secret Identity - in which Launchpad is accidentally pegged as being Gizmoduck.
─ The Duck Who Knew Too Much - more of Fenton + Gandra, plus more hare-brained schemes from Fenton.
─ Tiff of the Titans - crossover with Darkwing Duck. The two's first face-to-face meeting. (does NOT go too well initially.)
─ Just Us Justice Ducks part 1 and Just Us Justice Ducks part 2 - crossover with Darkwing Duck. A superhero team is formed.

(Can we please just pretend that the Darkwing Duck episode "Up, Up and Awry" doesn't exist? Note: not intending to yell, just want to emphasize: THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPTION, YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME. I'm not too fond of it, I don't think Giz is completely in-character in it (how is he flying without his helmet-copter, or evidence of a jet-pack, and the constant use of "super-powered super-hero" was just... grating to me. c.c;). There are plot holes, head-scratchers and such in the other Ducktales episodes, ESPECIALLY towards the end of the series, but... I'm not fond of this one. .... DID have great expressions for screencaps, though. XD)
