[edit] Introduction

Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series was a half-hour Disney animated series aired on ABC and The Disney Afternoon in the fall of 1996. A total of twenty-six episodes were produced and aired, and the main inspiration for this series came from the films and hockey team of the very same name: The Mighty Ducks, it should be noted that the films are live-action dramas focusing on the story of a teenage hockey team. The series was cancelled in November 1997 and no follow-ups have been seen since. For awhile it had a comic run in the Disney Adventures magazines.

[edit] The Canon

In this series, another universe exist a planet populated entirely by humanoid ducks. Dubbed "Puckworld" by its inhabitants, it is a very cold, icy planet, perfectly suited to the Ducks' favorite pastime, ice hockey. For the citizens of Puckworld, hockey was not simply a sport, but a way of life, occupying virtually every aspect of day-to-day existence, from fashion to philosophy.
A very popular legend has it that centuries ago, during an invasion by a reptilian race called Saurians, a duck by the name of Drake DuCaine became the planet's savior over the Saurians' Overlords. The legend tells that DuCaine did so with a seemingly normal goalie mask that transforms into a high-tech mask. With it, DuCaine sent the Saurians to a mysterious dimension, known only as "Dimensional Limbo".
As it turns out, the legends indeeded up being true. Many centuries later, some of the last of the Saurians escape Dimensional Limbo and return to Puckworld with an armada of robotic attack ships. The group of four is led by the last of the Saurian Overlords, Lord Dragaunus. They invade the planet, enslaving the people of Puckworld so that they can produce more weapons to conquer the universe. However, a resistance was formed by Canard, a brave duck who acquires The Mask of Drake DuCaine out of a tomb in the mountain called Twin Beaks. With it, the Ducks can see through the Saurians' invisibility cloak. Canard forms a band of Ducks to fight Dragaunus, called The Resistance. The Resistance destroys Dragaunus's fortress (called the Master Tower) and presumably frees the planet from the Saurians' control. However, Dragaunus and his forces escape in their ship, the Raptor. The Saurians open up a dimensional gateway and attempt to escape through it, just as they had done to escape Dimensional Limbo. However, Canard and the others follow him into the portal with their aircraft, the Aerowing.
Dragaunus attempts to get rid of the Ducks inside the portal by attacking them with an electromagnetic worm that will grow until it can swallow the Aerowing. In a desperate attempt to get rid of the worm, Canard sacrifices his own life by throwing himself to the worm. The plan succeeds, but at the price of Canard being devoured by the worm and never being seen again (except for in the episode "Take Me to your Leader", though this was Chameleon disguised as Canard to lure the ducks into a trap). Luckily, Canard leaves behind The Mask, giving it and the leadership of the team to Wildwing Flashblade, his best friend. Both the Raptor and the Aerowing leave the portal and enter a different dimension, landing on Earth. The Ducks meet Phil Pomfeather, a human who becomes their manager and makes them a legitimate NHL team. Their arena, only known as The Pond in the show, has a hockey rink that doubles as a landing pad for the Aerowing above and has a formal HQ below. On Earth, the Ducks and Dragaunus continue their fight, although there are other villains that also challenge the six Ducks.
The Ducks and Saurians that landed on Earth are the only ones seen except in some flashbacks done by Grin when speaking of his past and one Lucretia DeCoy who was a traitoress to the race of the Ducks and a spy for the Saurians. There was no mention of any girlfriends, boyfriends from the other ducks. Falcone was the only Raptrin seen in the show.

Not many members of this fandom got into disputes each other very often. But there was one harrasser who chased the co-owners of The Brotherhood of The Blade about calling them lesbians on couple of message boards when they were very good friends and that they happened to live nearby to each other but he soon got tired of chasing them and finally left them alone.
