Both are Disney-owned ducks.
According to Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, Scrooge's paternal grandmother was named Molly Mallard, so many have a headcanon that Drake Mallard is a distant relative to Donald.
Got it, thought people were suggesting there was a real connection with Donald in Darkwing Duck (as if he appeared), but I suppose they're saying Donald is super popular, so Darkwing Duck is also super popular by loose extension.
