Liquidator (Darkwing Duck)

The Liquidator, a villain in the animated Disney series Darkwing Duck, was a dog-like creature made entirely of water, who had the ability to control and alter liquids. He had the ability to control any liquid substance. The Liquidator was a crooked businessman named Bud Flood who had owned the Sparkling Crystal Pure FloodWater, a bottled water company based in St. Canard. He acquired his powers in the following manner: during a heat wave, Flood poisoned his competitors’ water in an effort to monopolize the market. Accidentally falling into a vat of water he had himself poisoned, Flood became a mass of living water and applied his powers to extortion, as well as transforming most of Audubon Bay as well as St. Canard’s water supply into rubber cement.

Because he was once a businessman, much of The Liquidator’s dialogue was based on advertising slogans. He forms part of The Fearsome Four, which includes the villains Megavolt, Bushroot, and Quackerjack, whose leader is the evil incarnation of Darkwing Duck, NegaDuck. The voice-actor Jack Angel (b. October 24, 1930, Modesto, CA) provided this villain’s voice for many of the episodes.
