| BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: |
Flintheart Glomgold is $crooge McDuck's arch-nemesis, primarily because Glomgold is jealous of $crooge's wealth, and desperately wants to steal the title of "World's Richest Duck" from $crooge, but so far has only managed to maintain his status as "World's Second Richest Duck" (though that title is in somwhat dispute with another of $crooge's adversaries, John D. Rockerduck). Flintheart will attempt any possible underhanded deed in order to defeat $crooge, and will often hire such thugs as Bad Pete or the Beagle Boys to do his dirty work. Under Carl Barks' authorship, Glomgold hailed from South Africa, but probably due to political unrest and aparthied, his place of origin was changed to Scotland (to match $crooge), and his residence to Duckburg in "DuckTales." Glomgold was a regular adversary of $crooge McDuck's on Disney's "DuckTales." (see: DTA). |
