Flint Steel

Flint Steel is a character from the Quack Pack episode; "Hero Today, Don Tomorrow."

Hero Today, Don Tomorrow
Flint Steel is first seen on T.V. performing in a game event against Gunther Hassenoferr, whom he manages to beat fast. Donald's nephews: Huey, Dewey and Louie love Flint so much as their hero that Donald grows more jealous and full of hatred of Flint Steel. Flint is next seen arriving at the Duckburg airport while trying to avoid the press. He tries to give Dewey a handshake when asked for it but only manages to step on him when running away to avoid the press approaching him. In order to draw the boys' attention, Donald convinces everyone that he knew Flint Steel from childhood and that he saved his life from a train once when they were children.

When Donald tries to enter Steel's room to talk to him about meeting the boys, he only ends up getting tossed out the window countless times. Then, in the place where Flint Steel is to perform, Donald disguises himself as Steel so as to impress the boys but the jig is up when he is tricked by Daisy to keep disguising and not disguising himself countless times, therefore, depressing Daisy and the boys. Alone and depressed, Donald gets mad until he actually comes face to face with Flint Steel himself. When Flint asks who Donald is and is surprised that Donald is the "Donnie Duck" he once knew, he is rejoiced to see him again. When Donald doesn't seem to recognize him, he reminds him about their days at Camp Kayak and about a skinny kid named Whirl "Wiggy" Wigglemeyer everybody picked on and how Donald used to pick on him mostly. The two have some great laughs until Flint reveals that he actually is Whirl Wigglemeyer; much to Donald's shock.

Next, Donald and Flint are taken upstage to perform at the show where Flint announces to the audience about him and how he manages to repay him. Thinking that Flint means to get his revenge for being picked on by Donald years ago and Donald's skates malfunctioning, Donald begins the race fast with Flint in pursuit while Donald tries to avoid being "attacked" by Flint. When Donald wins the race, he gives up and allows Flint to "pulverize" him but Flint simply reveals that he actually wanted to thank him for picking on him as a kid since it inspired him to pump up his muscles during his childhood days with Donald at Camp Kayak and provided him a great future career. Then, Flint congratulates Donald and Donald passes out. Flint is last seen smiling to the audience after that.
