Red Bat

Red Bat is Fethry Duck's superhero alter ego. He appeared in the Fethry comic series. He is one of the characters created for the Disney Studio Program by Dick Kinney and Al Hubbard and was first used in the story "The Health Nut", published on August 2, 1964. His powers are similar to those of.

Story
He is first seen running from the airport to Donald's house, implying he isn't a Duckburg citizen at that point in time. It is also shown that Donald and Fethry know each other from earlier, including Fethry calls Donald with a nickname, "Don". In a comic panel of "The Health Nut" story, Donald thinks to himself, "I think what his kick is this time?", making it clear that he knows about Fethry's tendency to come up with temporary interests every now and then. Kinney and Hubbard created this character to be a beatnik (meaning "a person who rejects or avoids conventional behavior") member of the Duck Family. The reason why Fethry wears a stocking cap is also revealed in "The Health Nut" (He was convinced by a self-help book author that one's head is healthier when it's kept hot). Fethry wears different colours of the same blouse depending on which country the story is published in: in Brazil, his blouse is generally yellow; in the Italian comics, he usually wears a red one; and, in the comic books of Egmont Publishing, the traditional color of his blouse is pink.

In Brazilian and Italian stories, Fethry is depicted in various occupations, including as a reporter (alongside his cousin Donald Duck and, sometimes, Daisy Duck) and comic strip artist for Scrooge McDuck's newspaper, the Duckburg Chronicle. Fethry has also gained a superheroic alter ego, The Red Bat (parody of Batman, like Donald's Paperinik), and a number of supporting characters, among them his girlfriend the urban hippie Gloria and his nephew the bratty Dugan Duck. After discovering Fethry is The Red Bat, Gloria also decided to become a superhero herself, so The Purple Butterfly (presumably a parody of Batgirl) was born, and she eventually ends up saving The Red Bat when he's in a jam. Gloria wears a hippie-like style of clothing and she usually is a carefree girl. She appeared as one of Daisy Duck's closest friends in some stories. But according to a couple of old Brazilian stories, Gloria wasn't the first and only love of Fethry. He had a goose-like girlfriend called Rita Gansa (original Brazilian name) whom he really liked before knowing Gloria. Rita was actually his childhoold classmate. There is one story where Gloria and Rita contest against each other to know who is Red Bat's biggest fan.
