Elsewhere, they use their hi-tech tools and teamwork to save the world from the evil Lord Dragaunus and his henchmen, whom they've followed from the planet Duckworld. The team includes the role-model captain Wildwing, his hip, renegade brother Nosedive, martial arts expert Mallory, stylish ex- criminal Duke L'Orange, scientific whiz Tanya, and huge Zen master Grin. The only human who knows the Ducks' true identities is Phil, the team's cel-phone fixated, wheeler- dealer manager.
