List of PKNA characters

This is a list of the main characters depicted in the Paperinik's New Adventures (PKNA) comic book.

Main characters

Paperinik

Main article: Paperinik

First Appearance: PKNA #0.

The superhero, and main character of PKNA. He is often called PK for short, and is the secret identity of Donald Duck. Throughout the series he faces many enemies and dangerous events, travelling in time and space. He befriends Uno, the artificial intelligence that runs the Ducklair Tower, and Lyla Lay, a journalist of 00 Channel, who actually is a droid coming from the 23rd century. These two become main allies of Pk.
Donald already had a superhero identity known only as Paperinik, under which he fought the common criminals of Duckburg. The new threats he had to face, such as the Evronian aliens, prompted a total change in his lifestyle and fighting equipment, and he adopted "Pk" as his new nom de guerre, though the previous one also remains common in dialogue.

Uno

First Appearance: PKNA #0.

An A.I., created by Everett Ducklair. He resides in Ducklair Tower, in downtown Duckburg, on the 151st (secret) floor. He is "the tower itself", controlling all the floors, the underground levels and the sophisticated machinery that Everett built inside of it. He meets Paperinik for the first time when he is exploring the 151st floor, and becomes his first ally and, most importantly, his friend. When he wants to express appreciation for a human he always says something like "Not bad... for being a biological." His dream is to walk in the city he always explored through his innumerable sensors. "Uno" means "One" in Italian.

Lyla Lay

First Appearance: PKNA #0.

A journalist for Duckburg-local Channel 00, working for the "00 News" evening newscast. Not only she is a journalist, but she actually isn't human: she's a Class 5Y droid from the 23rd century, sent by the Time Police to preserve history in the 20th century. She's the second person, after Uno, to discover the identity of Donald Duck under the mask of Pk, thanks to her advanced sensors. During the series, she's always aware of Uno's presence in Ducklair Tower, but only in PKNA #48 she sees his real aspect for the first time.

• She was designed, along with droids of her same class, by famous engineer Leonard Vertighel.
• She's tall and rather slim, being portrayed in a rather sexy way for a Disney comic, especially when drawn by Claudio Sciarrone.

Evronians

Main article: Evroniani

The Evronians are aliens, travelling in space aboard a giant planet-turned-spaceship named Evron. The species originated with the first Evron emperor a long time ago, and is organized similar to that of bee-hives, with each Evroniano having a predetermined caste and role since birth.

Razziatore

First Appearance: PKNA #0/2.

He is a time-traveling master thief from the 23rd century. He works for the criminal cartel Organizzazione ("The Organization") and was initially one of the main villains. During the series he sometimes decides to help Pk, as seen in PKNA#2, preventing the destruction of Duckburg in the 20th century, but only to further his own interests. Later in the series we find out that his main motivation is to care about his son Trip and his future. In Italian his name means "Raider" or "Forayer".

Xadhoom

First Appearance: PKNA #0/3.

A mutant female alien from planet Xerba. Before her mutation, she was one of the most brilliant young scientists on her planet, and her name was Xado. She believed in a peaceful pact between Xerba and the Evron Empire, but, while she was off-world, busy with completing her final and greatest experiment, the Evronian fleet attacked Xerba and had its entire population killed or enslaved as "coolflames". Witnessing the devastation of her planet, Dr. Xado was left with nothing but desire for revenge. Due to the apparent success of her experiment, she is now a thermonuclear being, requiring not food, but only the byproducts of an internal atomic process to survive, with a virtually inextinguishable power: a power she swore to use for fighting the Evronians until the destruction of their whole race. Her powers also threaten to become her doom, because overexerting herself in extreme anger could cause her to completely lose control and explode in a nuclear blast with the power of a small nova. Later in the series she will say "Power is its own contrary. Power is control and discernment.". Her name means "Creditor" in Xerbian language. Donald Duck once said to her that he always had to deal with creditors (this is an humorous reference to his "classical" Donald Duck persona, perennially marred by debts.)

Xadhoom met her end by lighting her body into a new star for her people. She is one of the very few characters to have spoken an uncensored expletive in Disney comics in recent years.

Angus Fangus

First Appearance: PKNA #0. Another Channel 00 journalist, working for the "00 News" evening newscast. He is a kiwi and comes from New Zealand. He meets Pk for the first time at a soap opera - Patemi - party, during a fight with Evroniani. He doesn't believe that aliens are trying to take over Earth; instead, he believes that Pk is a criminal, and that all mayhem happening in Duckburg and around the world in which the masked duck is somehow involved is his doing (in a humorous reference to J. Jonah Jameson). Pk becomes his first enemy and the objects of many of his false scoops, but later the two also become reluctant allies. His mother is Rangi Fangus, a strong woman, the leader of Māori Villages.

Everett Ducklair

First Appearance: PKNA #0.

A billionaire and highly talented inventor, creator of Uno, Due, Ducklair Tower and many futuristic machines. When he realizes that he is somehow unwittingly producing more and more dangerous weapons, he leaves Duckburg for the monastery of Dhasam-Bul, to give rest to his soul and mind. When something dangerous, related to Due, happens in Duckburg, he comes back to help Paperinik and Uno.

Other characters

Camera 9

Camera is a cameraman working for Channel 00. Nobody has seen his real face, which is always covered by his camera. (Cameraman wears them on their heads). His true identity is Stefan Vladuck, a famous photo reporter, which was tired of his previous dangerous and lonely life. He is originary of Bulgaria.

Mike M. Morrighan

A journalist of 00news, Angus Fangus's rival.

Eugene Photomas

First Appearance: PKNA#22.

A famous lawyer, also noted for an extraordinary habit to forget the name of his clients. However, during debatement, he's unstoppable and never forgets laws and judicial cases.

Leonard Vertighel

First Appearance: PKNA #22. Leonard Vertighel is an engineer, one of the most brilliant mind of his own time. He is one of the main professional partners of Odin Eidolon. He's so highly regarded that he can address a judicial court in public without showing any formal respect. Apparently he is one of the most successful 23rd century persons, but this appearance hides a deeply disturbed psyche.

Odin Eidolon

First Appearance: PKNA #5.

Odin Eidolon is introduced in PKNA #5 as a mysterious éminence grise that helps Paperinik during this story arc taking place in the future, that is the 23rd century. As is revealed only to the reader at the end of PKNA #5 (throughout which misleading clues to the Norse god of the same name are given), Odin means "One" in Russian (as in the meaning of the Italian word uno) and that mysterious Odin Eidolon is, in fact, a robot that Uno has transferred his mind into. While not explained in PKNA #5 or anywhere else in the series, eidolon is Greek for "image", "likeness", "representation", "simulacrum".

Odin Eidolon is the 23rd century droid incarnation of Uno. In 2186, Uno's old creator, Everett Ducklair, returns to the Ducklair Tower to solve the problems experienced by Uno in making his own artificial body. Uno, in fact, is becoming very tired of his unsuccessful attempts to transfer his complex software into a robotic body. That body has the necessary hardware to contain his whole enormous software plus the possibility of expansion, but even with Everett's help, he can't transfer. A dramatic and emotional fight with his twin Due occurs, which happens both in the present and in the future. His evil twin gives up his plan to destroy Uno when Due realizes it would spell his own destruction in the future, and an erasing software manages to cancel Due. But before this happens, Uno saves the remaining parts of his twin and tries for one last time to transfer. This time the operation is successful, because now Uno understands how to be complete: Every human being is made up of equally good and evil parts, and so is Uno after he has combined himself with Due into a complete whole.

In an alternate time-line (as seen in issue 34), Uno is discovered by Grifone and brought to the Organizzazione, which converts him into the android Odin Eidolon. Odin reveals the existence of his twin, Due, which has also converted to an analogue android, Deugemo.
