![]() McDuck was initially characterized as a greedy miser and antihero (similar to Dickens' original Scrooge character), but in later appearances he has often been portrayed as a thrifty hero, adventurer, and explorer. Both his "Money Bin" and Scrooge himself are often used as humorous metonyms for great wealth in popular culture around the world. He is portrayed as an oil tycoon, businessman, industrialist, and the owner of many factories and the largest mining concerns. Scrooge founded the fictional company McDuck Enterprises and is the maternal uncle of Donald Duck and Della Duck, the maternal great uncle of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, a usual financial backer of Gyro Gearloose, and the world's richest person - all within the context of the fictional Donald Duck universe. Named after the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is an incredibly rich business magnate and self-proclaimed "adventure-capitalist" whose dominant character traits are his wealth, frugality, and tendency to seek more money through adventure and treasure hunting. Scrooge lives in the city of Duckburg (which is also Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey, and Louie's home city) in the fictional US state of Calisota (a blend of California and Minnesota), whose claimed location is in California in the real-world United States. Originally intended to be used only once, Scrooge became one of the most popular characters in Disney comics and Barks' signature work. He is portrayed in animation as speaking with a Scottish accent. He typically wears a red or blue frock coat, top hat, pince-nez glasses, and spats varying in color. Like his nephew, Donald Duck, he has a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. Appearing in Disney comics, Scrooge is a Scottish-born, American, anthropomorphic Pekin duck. ![]() ![]() Scrooge McDuck (occasionally stylized as $crooge McDuck) is a cartoon character created in 1947 for The Walt Disney Company by Carl Barks.
