![]() ![]() Resourceful Repairment Skills: Although his experiences with flying appear extremely crash-centric, in " The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!" he proves to Della his out-of-the-box maintenance methods actually work. ![]() He apparently speaks Swedish, as shown in Woo-oo!.In addition to this, he's survived things that would have killed or incapacitated other members of the cast, such as falling the entire height of the Money Bin directly into the pile of coins (Scrooge survived the same fall by diving into the coins, but kept Louie from attempting a smaller jump, saying he would crack his skull as he didn't know how to dive correctly.) Louie lampshades this ability in The Most Dangerous Game.Night!, pointing out that "Launchpad's crashed so many times, convinced he may be immortal". Tolerance for injuries: He has crashed almost every vehicle he's driven, but never seems to get seriously injured.System!, and although he went to flight school, it is unknown if he ever received a pilot's license. However, he had not received his driver's license until Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. Driving Skills: Although he has a complete and total disregard for most road safety laws beyond wearing a seatbelt, Launchpad can operate almost any vehicle without training, and worked as Scrooge's limo driver for many years before becoming his pilot as well.He is also often easily distracted, especially from driving, which is shown in many occasions like in " Sky Pirates.in the Sky!" where Launchpad comes down to watch Don Karnage's performance even though he's supposed to be flying the plane. In " Day of the Only Child!", Launchpad is shown to be rather oblivious, unable to see past the Beagle Boys' paper-thin disguises. Launchpad offered to help them fly the Sunchaser after hearing that they needed a pilot for their rescue plan, even though he didn't know them well at the time. Launchpad's kind and helpful nature was shown in "Woo-oo!" when Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby needed to help Scrooge defeat a flying golden dragon. And even when things are going wrong he is determined to make things right and be there some others as seen in " Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. Though even through some misadventures and mistakes, he always keeps a positive attitude, and this is shown in " Woo-oo!" when he was bitten by snakes and remained calm and positive throughout the ordeal. ![]() People often assume that Launchpad is stupid because of his lack of book-smarts, but are sometimes proven wrong, such as when Della assumed Launchpad wasn't a good pilot since he didn't know proper plane mechanics, only to realize he had his own way of doing things that worked effectively for him. Although he isn't book-smart, he appears to be at least somewhat emotionally intelligent, knowing how to comfort people when they need it. Launchpad isn't the brightest he acts on instinct and learns by experience. He is fearless and always up for anything which suits well as Scrooge's drivers. Launchpad may not be a Carl Barks original character, but he is still an endearing friend to the McDuck family as well as the show.Ī loyal employee of McDuck Enterprises, Launchpad also serves as a loyal friend to the McDuck family. Launchpad is a fearless and big-hearted guy who works for Scrooge McDuck, initially as his limo driver and later as his air and submarine pilot. ![]()
