Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge 356, Barks; Hall of the Mermaid Queen! Characters: Huey Duck Beagle Boys Uncle Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck) Dewey Duck Louie Duck He is the rich uncle of Donald Duck. While different stories have interpreted his origin differently, Don Rosa's canon dictates that he is the brother of Matilda and Hortense McDuck, the latter being the mother of Donald. He was born and grew up in Scotland, and worked his way up to the wealthiest duck in the world, from virtually nothing. Money! The comic that tells the origin of Scrooge McDuck is the Duck Dynasty. Scrooge McDuck was born in Scotland. He had two sisters, Hortensia and Matilda. In the hills his family was arch enemy with the clan of Whiskervilles. Little Scrooge begins as a shoe black, and the first pay he gets is an American dollar. Nothing, to a Scottish. So, he understands that the world is tough, well, he'll be tougher than the toughest, and he'll always make his accounts balance. At the age of thirteen he moves to America and joins one of his uncles (Angus) to pilot a steamboat on the Mississippi. Here he fights against his first enemy, a gambling man (cheater), Soapy Slick. After, his life is a never ending travel: first to Texas (and here he becomes a herdsman under the name Buck McDuck), then Montana, after to Copper Hill. He returns home when it comes out of his knowledge that his mom is dead. After a quick return, he becomes the 'Terror of Transvaal', where he meets Roosevelt. Then, he moves to the Australian Desert. Finally, he becomes and Argonaut in the White Death Ditch, in Alaska, and founds the gold nugget which is called Duck-egg nugget for its big size. At the end, he's the richest duck in the world, the most cantankerous, though.
