THE SPECIAL DEVICES Since his first adventures DUCK AVENGER in FANTOMALLARD-style, makes his missions utilizing some special devices. Some of these are personal equipment, some other are devices installed by Gyro into Donald's famous car. All the devices shown in the first story have been found by Donald in Villa Rose thus are those which belonged to FANTOMALLARD including those installed in the car by Gyro following the instructions of the FANTOMALLARD' mobile tank. In the subseguent stories all the special devices are designed and created by Gyro Gearloose. During the years the masked duck got new and more modern devices but unfortunatelly in some case much more ridiculous, exagerated, not very original and really useless as well. In the story of Enna and Perissinotto PAPERINIK E IL PROTOCOLLO MAD DUCKTOR, (DUCK AVENGER AND THE MAD DUCKTOR PROTOCOL), Duck Avenger is wering a special anti exposure suit for the extreme cold environment. A very interesting and well realized map of some of the first of the DUCK AVENGER's devices is shown in a couple of colorful pages on Almanacco Topolino n°280 in 1980, for a special dedicated to the DUCK AVENGER's equipment. schematic view of the famous DUCK AVENGER's which allow jumps up to 10 m. These boots are made of a special rubber with an internal cover of soft leather. the sole is slippery safe and they have a safety metal shell in the front area.
