Who Is Huey, Dewey and Louie's Father? | DuckTales Theory

Today I’m going through my theory on who I want Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s father should be! For some reason we know ancestors of the Coot Kin, the Duck family and Clan McDuck from generations in the past from hundreds of years ago, but the father of Donald and Scrooge’s nephews has been left unanswered which I find extremely troubling. And that’s why today we are going to be exploring one of the biggest mysteries within Donald Duck’s family tree! We are going to be wrestling with everything we know about the triplet’s father, Mr. Duck to uncover who I believe he will be revealed to be in DuckTales (2017)!

Headcanon: Triplets father was a close friend of Donald in Navy and he met Della through that connection.

[@mhikari92]

That very logical.....but maybe instead of Navy , how about Army. (After all , Donald is indeed a real US Army veteran IRL , retied at 1984 , with the rank of buck sergeant. Yup , he has an official serving record in US Army's system)

Here's the thing, no one talks about him, ever. Not the boys, not Donald, not Scrooge, not Webby (who's obsessed with the Duck family), not even Della, she doesn't "talk to" him in her messages while on the moon, nor does she try to find him when she gets back to earth or wonder why he didn't raise the boys instead of Donald. You'd think Della would mention the love of her life at least once. So that rules out him still being around at the time Della left in the Spear and got stuck on the moon. So that leaves a few things, either he died and in her grief, Della made sure that no one would ever speak of him again. Or, he left Della and the boys early on, either in a dead beat dad kind of way, or perhaps he discovered something about FOWL and left his family to infiltrate the organisation, making it out like he betrayed his family to gain the trust of FOWL, telling no one, not even his wife, of his true intentions. Or he could have straight up "turned to the dark side" and joined FOWL. The main thing is, no one ever speaks about him, and there has to be a reason for that.

[@GermanLeftist]

Or maybe, Della just doesn't know who it is. Could have been a one night stand thing, or maybe two short lived relationships shortly after each other around the time Della got pregnant, thusly having two possible dads, or maybe she went to a sperm bank and got it from an anonymous donor. A lot of things are possible. Btw, love your profil pic.

[@commanderbonefish9240]

If that happened that was a nice plot twist

[@carolinelutz397]

Maybe Della just hooked up with a random duck and never even told him he was going to be a father? Idk

[@RooftopRose079]

Honestly, I'd be interested to see how Ducktales would betray a father abandoning them. There's a lot of heavy personal emotion there and since the triplets could all have different reactions to their father we could see three different approaches to that father-son relationship. Maybe one of the triplets is desperate enough for a biological father he blindly keeps trying to reach out to him when being ignored/hurt, while another is just confused and the third is outright angry. Maybe they try and fail to be a family where their biological father tries to be a father but can't motivate himself to try as Della did. There could be some jealousy going on with Donald. Maybe the triplets come to the conclusion that their biological father isn't someone worth fighting for and Donald already has that place in their lives and they can tell their audience that, you know, that's a valid conclusion to come to even if you're just a kid.

[@SpectacularSpiderFan]

(Darth Vader theme amplifies)

[@merrickmeyers2669]

Two bits of info from the show: In "Whatever Happened to Della Duck?", Della believes the triplets are being raised by their uncles, so the father was apparently already out of the picture before she was lost in space. In "Whatever Happened to Donald Duck?", when Dewey and Webby are looking for more family mysteries to investigate they don't even mention the triplets' father, suggesting that they already know or think they know who it is and don't find it particularly interesting.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Whoever their father is, i wouldn't be surprised if even Della didn't know who it was.

In my own opinion The fact that his name has never been revealed and his face is normally obscured I believe that Mr. Duck became a disgrace to the family in some way, which lead to his name being scrubbed from the family tree Yes it is less magical than what Wotso proposes, but if Mr Duck was such a great person, then at least his first name would have been known

[@kanewolfe3243]

Sorta like the black family tree in HP

[@sockshandle]

That or they removed his name from the tree to protect him for whatever reason

[@Animationlover17]

Della is an amazing Disney mother, And is known for being a very iconic mystery character in Disney’s characters. Yet when I learned what she did; making a decision to choose an adventure over her children I saw her differently. She is adventurous and I like that but she’s also irresponsible which makes her not the greatest mother she comes off as selfish in that decision that she made. It makes me think that the best parent for Huey Dewey and Louie with probably Donald, in the reboots Donald has showed to be devoted, loving and protective of them. I’m not sure if Disney will ever really show their father but Donald is already a great father figure for them. I honestly think he’s a great influence on them.

[@bigbrainboys2979]

Well you see the family talk about this in the episode where she got back to earth, she simply wasnt ready to be a mom, she was an adventurer

[@Karas540]

and she paid for it already by being stuck on the moon for a decade. I think that's big enough punishment and we can see in the show that now she is really trying to be more responsible mom. Emphasis on trying

[@ernestorio3550]

And let's not forget that staying on the moon does a number on her. Where she almost forgot how earth gravity works, missed out alot of stuffs (trends, events, etc), to literally not being able to see a reflection of herself, all while trying to be an actual part of the family. She had it coming, but it's hard not to unsee that

[@Animationlover17]

Jay Way well father figure

[@elenasmcanonico3163]

@S They are triplets; they can't have different fathers.

[@beterbomen]

Maybe, their father was scared off by the McDuck/Duck family's tendency to get involved in adventures. If he wasn't such an adrenaline junky as everyone else, he may have just run away. Sad thought, but interesting nonetheless.

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

So their dad was a spy ?

[@AlexBadger]

Highly likely. Also I like to imagine he was welsh, due to the whole Llewellyn thing.

[@95kolman]

I agree that Triplets father was adventurous duck and he wouldn't abandon his kids, but where you see him as astronaut I see him as military man or better a secret agent like double o duck. If you assume that he was secret agent, there can be several explenations what happened to him. There are 2 that are my favourite: 1) He is secretly trying to infiltrate or discover where fowl 2) He was captured by fowl and was brainwashed by them to be their secret weapon or enforcer like Winter Soldier from Marvel.

[@JonBerry555]

And if he was a secret agent or a military man, they would explain why Della would not ask about him when she got back from the Moon - after all if you expect him to be on assignment or a secret mission, you wouldn't expect them to be at home when you returned.

[@baronvonbork2856]

[@AuraRoseCats]

Or 3) he was on mission and secretly captured. But was assumed dead. 😱

[@Guyverman01]

I think the odds are that their father was a deadbeat freeloader who only hooked up with Della as a means to gain access to Scrooge's money. The relationship was just a brief fling that ended in disaster. Either that, or he was a FOWL agent who hooked up with Della and ended up wanting out of the organization because he truly loved her but FOWL didn't take it so lightly so they killed him.

[@carolkoski4875]

People talk about him being this great guy, but I think it's more believable if he was actually a bad person. It makes sense: no one ever talks about him, there's no pictures of him lying around, and he could be one of the reasons Della ran away to the moon because she was too scared to be a mother. The father of her children just abandoned her/she decided to raise the children alone because he was not a good guy, so this much pressure under her could've triggered her journey to the moon. I personally believe it makes more sense and it has more of a ""close to home"" touch than their dad being a hero of some kind (lots of kids out there don't have a father, and I think it would be nice of the show to portray characters that just had an absent and bad father. Also it's kind of Disney's thing to create protagonists with unusual families.) Now, I'm not saying the kids shouldn't meet him. No, on the contrary. I believe he should be redeemed. Someone who messed up when he was young, but now he's found out he has three sons, so he's doing everything to prove to Della and her family that he can be a good guy and become a part of the triplets' life.

[@jacquelinearmienta2056]

Della didn’t run away though 😅, but I still think this theory is cool

[@huntercool2232]

I find it extremely weird that in the entire series of DuckTales their Father has never been mentioned once by any of them.... NOT ONCE!!!

[@coocooformycocoapuffs3235]

maybe della had a one night stand and they jsut parted ways after that one night ;w;

[@RAYoung-ie3cf]

I have doubts that the current Ducktales series will even cover it. There may be this idea that it shouldn't matter who their father is and that Della does fine as a single mother. In fact, she does, despite the expected hiccups here and there. Also, the boys aren't really lacking in positive male role models, so I don't think there's quite the level of yearning as they had for their missing mother. Don't get me wrong, I'd love this story to be told. My bet is that time travel is somehow involved and that the father is long dead because he lived a long time ago. It's a long shot, but I like that theory.

[@AlexBadger]

Yeah it was very likely a fling during an adventure, they parted ways (depending on how the night went) happy, and della realised she was pregnant. I like to imagine he's welsh, because of Llewellen.

[@Random_izer277]

Plot twist: It's Launchpad.

[@emmaogunjimi1579]

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

C.O.O.L Studio That sounds like a rather weird idea. Although judging from his running gag of getting into a lot of relationships that get weird at times, anything is possible at this point.

[@thebird616]

Or possibly Double O Duck as he has existed before as he knows of FOWLS existence, he may have been made dumber into Launchpad because it's never clearly stated when FOWL has gotten the diamond

[@RedWolfWindgear]

I got a theory that Launchpad is their dad, but he forgot because of a head injury. Also explain why Scrooge hired him because it's his fault on why he's not that smart. Still farfetched, but it would be a cool twist and Dewie got some of his personality and crashes a lot too.

[@MarcMagma]

The one member of the Duck family even more mysterious than Della prior to the DuckTales reboot.

[@axesoccer7887]

Let's hope the father doesn't get the same treatment as Phineas's biological father or Pearl's mother.

[@AlphaOmegaKnight77658]

As much as I like the different theories, I personally wouldn't mind if the reboot didn't dig into who their father was. I don't think his introduction is necessary because I just already naturally consider Donald as their father figure. The Duck family seems perfect the way it is. But I know this series throws hard curveballs, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is introduced somehow lol

[@derpymango5368]

True. If they do include him then it be a situation for the kids to have heart to forgive/not forgive their father. Which can be an obvious ending where triplets can say Donald is their only real father. Best for the story to not dig into the father thing

[@nicholaspeberdy8537]

This question has been asked for years.

[@autumbreeze1129]

So, Della's "being in space" thing wasn't just something made up souly for the 2017 version of her, it's actually an expansion and alteration of the OG Della's story? To quote Donald himself from Mickey's A Christmas Carol: "well I'll be dog gone".

[@chasityjohnson1450]

Yeah Huey, Dewey, and Louie father is a mystery but if he actually appears in the show it would be a major shocker we could learn about his historys, his past, and most importantly how he met Della duck and his name but even if he doesn’t appear at the show at all that ok because your video are amazing and this video inspire me and stuff and I love your video and I have a question: what if the hyenas were good in the lion King?

[@Applepoisoneer]

Honestly, I don't see Della being married to the boy's father. I feel like, she had a wild affair (maybe with someone serving in the navy with Donald), got pregnant, laid some eggs and wanted to have one last big adventure before she settled down to raise her children more or less on her own, probably with Donald's help. I think the boy's last name, Duck, is just Della's last name that they inherited. I don't know if this man even knows he has children. Especially since Della never acknowledges his existance, nor does Donald or Scrooge. Because it wasn't important to Della, so its not important to them either.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Isaac: DuckTales theory MatPat: But hey, that's just a theory. A DuckTales theory! Also I'm glad you're looking into this and talking about it

[@skurvay3429]

Here's an idea that might be a little more like a soap opera, what if he was like in the military, went out on a mission somewhere, but something bad(but Not Fatal) happened to him, and he survived, but ended up lost somewhere with amnesia, he had no way of remembering himself or the fact that he was a husband & father, so he may have started a new life for himself(possibly with another woman), and since no one ever found out his whereabouts, he was only Presumed dead, so it may be possible that he's still out there somewhere, maybe even have started a Second Family, which might mean that Huey, Dewey & Louie may not just still have a father, but also some Half-Siblings as well.

I like the thought that the boys' father was in the military and had an adventurous spirit and maybe he DID reach out to Scrooge after Della took the Spear of Selene and was lost in the storm and he went looking for her and perhaps got lost himself. The family does seem to enjoy adventure and Della, herself, seems like a free spirit....brave and stubborn and independent, but she CLEARLY loves her boys and her brother and Scrooge. The episode we spend with Della on the moon....her entire motivation for fixing her rocket and getting home was that she wanted to be with her boys. We see the joy and love on her face when she's FINALLY reunited with her family and like Webby, I was also in tears as I witnessed this beautiful scene.

[@Hektols]

That comic is disturbing For Della only a few minutes passed, she is unaware that several years passed in Earth, when she returns it is very likely that all her family died of old age. They should have told her to return to Earth inmediately so at least she could meet her children as adults.

[@jascrandom9855]

I think the Triplets Father doesn't know he's a Father of Triplets. A One Night stand or a short Fling. Della is impulsive enough to do something like that, and "unlucky" enough to get knocked up that way, and irresponsable enough not to tell any one.

[@amy_1221]

I have a theory, maybe HDL’s dad is Launchpad. Then Launchpad lost his memory do to a helicopter crash. I guess this was a secret Della Donald and Scrooge never told the boys. But like if you think if Donald is the best father figure

[@EnerKaizer]

The military-theory is the most sound because there is something that has started to get lost in time: The age in which the triplette were created in the comics. This was right around the two major world wars and, as a grim reminder: most kids growing up with comics around the world during and after this time grew up without their fathers because they had lost them in one of the two wars. This was one of the reasons why, for example, characters like Superman and Batman survived the super-hero purge of the post WWII era, they had become replacement dads for their readerships and were also written like fathers. So, yeah, it makes sense that the original idea was that the triplets father didn't make it back alive for some reason from one of the world wars. This also explains why they never went into detail about him. This kind of fate is way too much for the rather more humoristic and lighthearted world the Ducks populate (today more so then ever before), and the other options aren't really better. Making Louie, Dewey and Huey, for example, the result of a one-night-stand is pretty much impossible, same goes for their father to just have left them. There is relly no better solution to this question then to just never bring him up from a narrative perspective which is why I believe there will never be any kind of official answer to his fate, or who he even was to beginn with.

I support the idea that he was in the army in the show maybe that can show a medal that he revived in the war

[@leehonglocal]

I too thought of why three ducklings' father aka Della's Husband never been seen or even mentioned.

[@moutray77]

What about the possibility that he was unaware that he had kids, and della family was unaware of him being the father?

[@britishchappie2852]

This is Della your talking about I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just a drunk one night stand

[@M_JackOfAllTrades]

It's more or less what I've always assumed. It just sounds like Della to do something reckless like that.

[@hannaho1817]

Im like 3 years late but in the episode “what happened to Donald Duck?” there is a brief shot of a small family tree Lunaris (I think his name is?) Made. In the tree, you see Dells and another duck connected to the boys. There’s a brief shot you’re able to see his face before the red X replaces it. Thought anyone watching this video might be interested in that! Idk the exact time stamp but it’s at the part when Donald and Penny find the war room (before Donald and Lunaris fight).

[@jajajancalvo]

😮😮😮hasta q por fin una respuesta solida

[@JyujinPlus]

“Seems like an arc they should cover as they expand going forwa-“ Disney: btw ducktales is cancelled

[@alex_thee_weirdo9591]

I have a theory that because of Della's uppity, spontaneous, and playful personality, she was sometimes picked on when she was younger, she probably met someone who finally liked her and cared about her as much as her family, this could be the boys father. About a couple years after they got married, he could have went to war in the Navy in place of Della so she could stay and take care of the kids, but he sadly died in war a couple months before her trip into space. She felt so much grief over it she asked no one to ever talk about him. Or he could have just disappeared in war.

[@chaserose5127]

Just before you mentioned him dying in a war, I made a joke about that

[@imfancdounutbish]

I personally headcanon that the triplets were conceived through IVF that's why he is never mentioned

[@l3nsman]

Considering how different the triplets are in the reboot, I wouldn't be surprised if there were actually three different fathers, one for each triplet. My headcannon is that she had three flings in three different places and in three different adventures. Given how irresponsible Della has been shown to act, I wouldn't be surprised if she was the type of person who really got around and forgot about it. Also, DON'T Google how ducks reproduce. Trust me on this.

[@emopeterparker7]

HAHA this is totally possible and kind of cute in a way. the triplets are widely different but in the end they're still three peas in a pod with good chemistry together. also haha duck d*cks

[@connerberger1482]

What if launch pad was actually the dad and crashed to much and everyone lost the memory of him

[@brianlevine871]

I love the idea of Huey, Dewey, and Louie's dad being a military man. Maybe if "Ducktales 2017" has a fourth season, in case they couldn't fit him in the FOWL story arc, they could explore this character in great detail. And if they ever go with a military route, they could borrow some elements of Donald serving the Navy in the original "Ducktales."

[@emily0673]

I mean if he was married to Della duck than he must have been an adventurer.

[@KabitoKailove]

I'd like the idea of knowing more about Daisy's nieces April, May, and June and Daisy's family tree

[@kayten3537]

Seeing this show revealed what happened to their mom i think we'll be seeing the dad soon enough. Could an astronaut or a sailor

[@jimkol8799]

I don't think we're ever gonna find out who their father is. Disney doesn't seem to care about him at all. Only Della. Even the kids don't seem to wonder who he is.

[@Somewhat-Evil]

How certain are you that Della was ever married? The boys have mother's last name. Della having kids out of wedlock might be a story Disney can now tell.

[@ezrea9313]

Interesting. I always thought that since Della was impulsive enough to leave her just-about-to-hatch eggs behind to fly an untested rocketship without preparing for the journey, maybe she had a short-term fling with another duck that resulted in the boys. Also given that Donald and Della were in their early teens in the 80s, she would have been in her twenties when the boys were born. Add her young age onto her impulsivity, and you get the perfect formula for an egg-producing fling.

[@Silver-Arm]

Bold of you to assume Della even knows who the father is

[@deniseboldea1624]

If they wanted to do a riff on the Avengers, they could find him working for F.O.W.L and discover he was brainwashed after he was thought lost in an accident.

[@Green.Star_ks]

One of the first things I noticed about your set up…Httyd 2 poster

[@tanglelover]

I loved that!

[@armi999]

When Della came back she didn't even ask about him, granted she was focused on her kids but that's not something you totally forget unless you know he's not going to be around. Doesn't necessarily mean he's dead but it's odd Huey, Dewey and Louie don't ask about him suggesting they do know what happened to him.

[@TweetsieRailroader]

This is quite an interesting look into one something I've often wondered from time to time! I also have a couple suggestions for a couple "Discovering Disney" Episodes in the future. I'd love to see episodes focused on Sandra and Veldrake (And whatever his descendant was called), from the 3 Caballeros Series on Disney+. I watched ALL of it, and I really enjoyed what it had to offer!

[@PurpleTigerGirl1619]

I have a theory about the triplets dad... he could have been a navy buddy of Donald's and that's how he met Della. He got deployed on a mission he never returned from just after Della laid the eggs so that left Della trying to cope with the idea of raising her kids alone which adds to her impulsive behavior of taking the Spear of Selene early, she was excited but also wanted to keep her mind off of her doubts and fears about raising three kids solo. Honestly I could see Della not feeling like she could completely confide in Scrooge or Donald about how she felt because she didn't want to burden her brother and she knew Scrooge wouldn't really understand what she was feeling as he is a confirmed bachelor with no kids. The twist is that Mr.Duck was only listed as MIA so no one really knows what happened to him and that's why they don't talk about him, what can they possibly say? This scenario opens the door to plenty of possibilities for finding out what happened to him; is he still alive or not? Was he a hero, a traitor or just a coward who ran away from his responsibilities? I personally think if they did something like this he would most likely be dead only because to find him alive would just be redundant after the Della arc and they could make him a hero without being redundant if he's dead but they learn that he died doing the right thing because that's who he was, someone who believed in doing the right thing no matter the cost. Being completely honest tho, they may never talk about the mysterious Mr. Duck. Although one of the newest episodes implied that Mrs. Beakley is hiding something from Webby so maybe we'll get to finally know something about the elusive Vanderquacks and if so maybe they will give us something about the equally elusive Mr. Duck.

[@OzzyDrixClay]

Look at Gantu's depression after loosing his position as captain of the galactic alence . And his lake of motivation might the cause of his incompitence In tge series

[@mikebearthegamer1365]

Maybe Della and the father split up before della found out she was pregnant, and don't make him a douchebag, just that it was a mutual break up, and have della never told him that she was pregnant. And then have the triplets find there dad and have them and the dad have a close connection and make Della jealous and theb make della and the dad married. Then we'll get a wedding episode. Well, that's my theory.

[@seangross5057]

To be honest, I think they should’ve done another season about the dad that only Donald duck and Scrooge know the truth about him and what he was been doing this whole time it’s kind of sad that they never brought him up or mentioning him at all

[@valmcallister5886]

The new set up looks great! Can’t wait to see it all finished!

[@kassidytucker8431]

Maybe he didn't even know he had kids? It could have been a fling and by the time she found out they had no idea we're he was

[@vincentfranklin17]

Maybe we'll get the answer in future DuckTales episodes. Interesting theories, though.

[@XxWondering_CatxX]

Maybe the loss of della made him soo sad to the point that even looking at the boys made him sad soo he left but not to far he was still in there lives with out them knowing the picture you draw looks just like a reporter in the Atlantis episode soo maybe he is 'stocking them' possibly

[@molly1002]

This is one of those questions I am itching to know the answer to ever since we saw Della's story line, but I feel like this is just one of those things where they'll take the "it doesn't have to make sense, it's a cartoon" route. Della's story line was so big and important, I don't see them starting up another "lost parent" story line. And, while I personally am curious, would the introduction of a dad actually benefit the show? Donald (and Scrooge) already have strong father-figure roles in the show. Donald and Scrooge's fatherly role also lets kids who might not technically have a father, see that other male figures can be just as important and fatherly. I love everyone's cool and positive headcanons, but my personal one is on the glummer side and would definitely not be written into a Disney cartoon lol. Which is that Della probably wasn't married to their dad and it was either just a fling between them or their dad yeeted out of their lives when she got pregnant. It's what makes most sense to me with what they've given us in the show. Which is, well, nothing. Nobody mentions him or seems to care lol. EDIT: Btw, I definitely do not mean for this to sound like i'm demeaning Della. I love Della and she's probably my favorite cartoon mom. But yeah, stuff happens. Lol.

[@moonlightstudios6479]

Maybe he was the opposite of Della. Maybe he was a calm, level-headed, non-adventurous duck who couldn't handle being a part of the very active, hot-tempered, adventurous Duck family. He couldn't handle being in the Duck family, so he left. Personally, I think it would be a little much if DuckTales brought back their father. The nephews already have Scrooge and Donald as their father figures and Della as their mother-in-training. If they were to address the problem of lack of father, he should probably be dead or missing or ran off.

[@DianaGohan]

Quite honestly my own theory and headcannon is that Huey Dewie and Louie's father actually wasn't that great a guy and didn't want to have anything to do with the family once he realized he wasn't getting a cut of the fortune of Scrooge so was cut out and no one just wants to ever talk or think about him again even the boys. Why do I think that? Because quite honestly it would explain Louie a lot. Like when I see Della I see a lot where Huey and Dewey got their obvious dedication and ingenuinity and fearless brash fool heartyedness, but I don't see really any of Louie in Della or vice versa which makes me think Louie got his more lazy and scheming side from the father's side of the family. Again maybe just my own theory but one I think works and also explains probably why we won't really get the guy explored in the future.

[@krystelpines106]

I prefer this theory than everyone else! I don't really think or like the fact that their father is a great guy at all, It would be too boring and somewhat cliché. This theory also makes sense than the others

[@DimoB8]

The triplets' personalities are less as a result of their parents and more like faucets of Scrooge's character. Huey is responsible and hard working Deuie is adventurous and fearless Louie is money hungry and cunning

[@Totlethegreat]

What if the Father was an astronaut who got lost in space and that's why Della took off when she did - to bring him back. Otherwise, it makes little sense for Della to do something that risky when her kids are about to hatch.... unless she was trying to bring their dad back for when they do hatch so the kids could have both parents.

[@everaldosantos5554]

I never watched these new series, and never knew there was a Della Duck in the old comics!!! She's Donald's sister, right? Man, what i missed all these years... I was searching for the ducklings' dad and... i found this about her. What a world! Thanks, man.

[@ashrunblader1648]

Think its launchpad

[@user-ls6li4gb4m]

Launchpad can be the father . After some serious fight between Della and him , it was accident (crash) he lost his memory at and become that stupid . None knew about their relationship and Della decided to keep it secret because was afraid he will be bad example for her children. Della has stolen the rocket to get the moon, but why? It was supposed for her .Why she left her children and flight earlier? It could be a depression ,she needed to be attracted . When Della returned, she always annoyed and mad at launchpad without any real reason . However her children strongly love launchpad , while they are not so close to Guro gearloose ,Fenton Crackshell , darkwingduck or to any other character more interesting for them than launchpad . By the way, della and launchpad both are pilots, so you can see their first meeting easily . None know why, but della hates all like fish, seaweed and sea slimming stuff at all . What if the reason is that mermaid that were calling launchpad from the ocean in one of the previous episodes ? And just ... don't you see , they looks perfectly together, even their style is similar !

[@katsunAC]

Don't think so But Its a good theory

to this day I still don't know why disney didn't decide to do a story arc for their father,they did extremely well with della's story arc,so I see no reason why they couldn't do the same with tather
