Sons of Adam

Copernicus's Finnish name is Abel, who knows if that inspired Gervasio to create Cartesius......whose Finnish name ain't Kain tho but who cares I got this out of that anyway B)

(Genesis 1, 4:8) Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

2024 round of playing cards!

Time for Marco Gervasio with a deck all dedicated to Fantomallard and the Duck Avenger! 😃

Absolutely love the different colors for the suits and the black background... my only gripe is that with all that green and the big shamrock behind him Glomgold's become irish ☘️ XDD

May I share one of my favorite headcanons?

I absolutely love the idea of Donald being a Fantomius (or Fantomallard) fan. I think it is not too fetched to say he likes the 1920´s gentleman thief, and I don´t mean he likes him just because he is thankful for the inspiration for Paperinik (yet I believe that part of the reasons), I think Donald is a fan the same way anyone can be a fan of Robin Hood or Batman...I like to think Donald is a fanboy 

But what proof do I have or why do I choose to believe this? Well, in some stories he shows interest in him

He asked a famous author who have just released a book inspired on the thief how accurate the book was, and later purchased said  book. Keep on mind he has John Quackett´s original diary, this is more like collecting memorabilia of something he likes.

“what´s better than a quiet afternoon on the sofa with a glass of milk and an interesting book?”

On the same story, he looks very happy to be able to read it. He is reading it for fun. He is basically reading fanfiction...

And he seems to be a little protective of him and his memory. When a guy appeared and started using Fantomius name for his own, criminal purposes, Donald got mad. 

But another interesting point i would like to drawn your attention to is that neither Fantomius or Lord John Quackett were present figures in Donald´s childhood. He didn´t grew up knowing about him or admiring him. He first learned about him the day he decided he would become Paperinik

 So it wasn´t “I will be like my childhood hero” it actually was more like “This guy has point”.

I personally think Donald is a fan, and I love the idea of that. And konwing both characters, it makes sense Don would admired him: Lord Quackett was a noble who reject his possition, disliked the hypocritic, superficial ways of the rich. He took from those who didn´t deserve it an gave to those who needed it. He never quite fit on high class sociaty, being a rebel since childhood.

John Quackett was an outcast. People thought little of him, he was seen as a clumsy clown who was a complete failure,and was always understimted and avoided. 

Donald can easily relate to this.

The circustnces are different, I know (John was an incredible actor and convinced everyone he was a useless richboy in order to keep his Fantomius persona safe, while Donald´s mistakes and disasters are, most of the time, real honest mistakes)

It is been stated in many occasions that Donald reads comic books, he may be fan of superheroes, so it makes sense he would admire someone who get´s close to the concept: not a hero in a traditional sense, but a Robin Hood type of figure who mocks the high class and hit them when it hurt them the most.

And Donald´s first deed as a super hero was exactly that
