Background

Note: Credit to the Darkwing Duck wiki

Splatter Phoenix, born Melody Amber Phoenix, is one of the numerous citizens of St. Canard who believes crime pays. As an artist, she is pompous and arrogant, defining herself as a "daringly innovative pseudo-anti-neo-postmodern deconstructionist", but she is not without talent. Her works continue to be rejected, though, because they are too far removed from convention. On one hand, this leaves Splatter Phoenix without money to continue her passion. On the other, she is a painted being herself and might very well have reason to be insulted when her views are turned down. To deal with her predicament, she created herself paint supplies with reality-warping properties. They allow her to enter paintings, animate them, paint wholly new structures and creatures to help her, and even repaint existing structures and people to suit her needs. Simply put, if it has a visual component, she is able to create or alter it as she pleases.

She was voiced by Dani Staahl in "A Brush with Oblivion" and by Andrea Martin in "Paint Misbehavin'".

It is unknown how Splatter Phoenix came to be. After her death and the revelation she is a painting herself, Launchpad wonders if she had created herself or if some "greater being" did, going as far as to ask himself if perhaps the entire world is but a painting. On the other hand, she has a civilian name, Melody Amber Phoenix, which suggests she is a regular person, possibly a mutant. Regardless, no one but Splatter Phoenix has to fear turpentine, setting her apart still. Given her condition, it is possible she is aware of the fourth wall, but evidence is not conclusive. This trait would only be shared with the 3-D Man.

Splatter Phoenix tried to make it as an artist at first, but found her work sent back by the critics for being too experimental. This in itself she could deal with, but not the resulting unsellability of her work and the dwindling of her financial means. Unwilling to let her talents go wasted and having a knack for chemistry and physics, she created herself brushes and paint that allow her to use reality as her canvas in any way she can imagine. These she has since put to use stealing works of art to sell on the black market for the needed cash. Thinking highly of her own art, she also uses her powers to redefine and redesign any object of artistic expression she comes across to her own standards.

Trivia


  • Phoenix is one of the few characters in the series to die onscreen, the other being Major Synapse.
  • Phoenix's death in the show is closely similar to the Wicked Witch of the West's in the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz (The Witch is melted by water; Phoenix is melted by turpentine).
  • Tad Stones has stated that, in hindsight, he feels he should've put Splatter Phoenix in the Fearsome Five instead of Negaduck.
  • Those who originally watched her episodes as kids in the 1990s had ZERO clue what she was saying most of the time: due to Splatter using big, higher level vocabulary words.
