BiographyDr. Reginald Bushroot was once a shy, quiet scientist who specialized in Botany at St. Canard University. He was bullied by the other scientists because his experiments weren't considered profitable. The only person to treat him with kindness was the beautiful Dr. Rhoda Dendron. Bushroot was madly in love with her but never had the courage to tell her how he felt. He was researching photosynthesis in an attempt to make the world a better place by giving living beings the ability to gain nutrients from the sun. He experimented on himself but something went horribly wrong, and he was transformed into a half duck, half plant hybrid. He gained the ability to telepathically communicate with plants and bend them to his will. Bushroot is often considered one of the most sympathetic villains in the cartoon. He is quite lonely and goes to great lengths to make friends -- often creating them by mutating plants. He even grows himself a wife, but the experiment backfires when his true love becomes a vampire potato that Darkwing later destroys. Bushroot's only companion is his pet flytrap, Spike. He joins the Fearsome Five and occasionally commits crimes with them as well. Like many plants, he has regenerative properties and can grow back his body after it's been destroyed. |
