Flintheart Glomgold
A Disney villain. Fictional character created by Carl Barks as Scrooge McDuck's evil double. Nearly as rich as Scrooge, they are constantly competeing for the title of World's Richest Duck, but Scrooge always wins, usually by only a few pennies, just enough to bring out the bloodthirsty villainous side of Flintheart. Like Scrooge, Flintheart also lives on a money bin full of coins.
In the Uncle Scrooge comic book universe, Flintheart is the most violent villain, rarely seen without a gun and usually trying to murder Scrooge. When he made the transformation from comic book character to DuckTales tv character, Disney Corp. had to "tame" his darkly violent bloodthirsty side to keep the show family friendly. Fans of the dark comic book version of Flintheart usualy dislike the cute TV show version of him, and vise versa.
After Darkwing Duck's imfamous psycopath, NegaDuck, Flintheart is Disney's most violent villain. NegaDuck and Flintheart should join forces, they would make a good team.

Which version is your fave Flintheart?
Over the years Flintheart Glomgold has seen many trasformations.
He started out as the grim and morbid duck when created by Carl Barks, when we first saw his greed for money turn to attempted murder of Scrooge, Donald, and the boys.
Than DuckTales softened him up and turned him in to the cute and slightly lovable old man who just wanted to get a hold of Scrooge's money.
In 1987 he made a return to the dark side as the gun toteing villain, when Don Rosa brought him back for another round of comic stories.
Flintheart Glomgold at a Glance
Flintheart Glomgold is a fictional character in Disney comic books. Glomgold is one of Scrooge McDuck's main rivals, and also holds the title of being The Second Richest Duck in the World. His appearance is similar to that of Scrooge, and he is sometimes characterized as being of Scottish descent as well (speaking with a Scottish burr in most animated features, though he is generally accepted as being from South Africa in the continuity of the comic books), but he is drawn with a full beard and sideburns as opposed to simple side-whiskers, and a dark tam o'shanter with a red pom pom and black coat instead of Scrooge's red one.
He is portrayed as an ambitious, ruthless, and manipulative businessman who shares many of the same qualities as Scrooge - the drive for massive wealth, and the Category: Wiktionary - :cunning|cunning and creativity to obtain the same - but he lacks any of Scrooge's tendencies towards generosity and compassion. He has no issues breaking the law, cheating and using other unfair tactics in order to fulfill his goal of becoming the world's richest duck, distinguishing him from Scrooge McDuck.
In Uncle Scrooge #376, Glomgold's nephew, Slackjaw Snorehead, is introduced. He has been characterized as loutish but also secretly gifted in business.
