Villains War (Saverio Gamba)

Origins

Duncan Nelson was born in New York by the union between Jacob Nelson, a famous police officer in Canada and Jane Jackson, a schoolteacher. Duncan had a good relationship with his mother, however his father showed no concern for his own son because of his childish behaviour and most likely never cared for him. The behaviour of his father would have costed Duncan to have father issues by the time he grew up.

At the age of 8, Duncan was at a subway with a cousin of his to make a surprise to his mom for the arrival of his uncle, who came from the same place his father was born: Canada. While his big cousin asked Duncan to stay where he was as he went to buy some things for their family, an ambush on the subway took many people, including Duncan, off guard as three men tried to kill them all. While succeeding in taking many lives, they would also attack the young kid by pinning him to the ground, blocking him before he could escape and stabbing him in the neck, leaving him to die of bleed out.

Duncan as he appears in the CGI Realm

However Duncan didn't wanted to die and started to suffer of Thanatophobia, as he pleaded when he was stabbed, a Black God heard him and quickly took his soul on a black world. Then, the Black God offered to Duncan to join as one by making a deal: in exchange of the kid's servitude, the god would have given him immortality as long as their lives were bound into one. Duncan accepts and was restored to life. Then he reached where his attempted killers (they were assassinating a man) and slaughtered the three men by tearing them apart. When his cousin arrived, he was shocked to find many dead bodies as he asked what happened here, Duncan simply answered by telling him that he was almost killed but he survived, while the others were strangely murdered and the killers suffered the consequences of their actions. Shocked, he felt scared.

Some time later, Duncan visited Hell, where he met his master's messenger, the Stalker and two minions of the king who, like him, where revived to serve his master: the legendary vampire Dracula and businessman Vlad Masters, who at that time was 20 years old. On his 12th birthday, he had a gift from his master: a black hood. Duncan, despite feeling happy for this unexpected gift, also felt concerned about so. The god then manipulated him into thinking that with this hood, he will be a vigilante stopping all criminals in the only way Duncan knew how to stop someone: kill.

Duncan then proceeded to dub himself as the Hooden Killer. Even when Duncan was arrested and went to juvie several times, he kept coming back by summoning weapons with his magic at his disposal. His father, having enough of this charade of Duncan's but still unaware to his son's alligance with the Dark God, casted him out of the house much to his mother's anger and horror at what her husband did.

Fight Against A Sorcerer

Vandalising as usual, Duncan is encountered by the deadly sorcerer Mozenrath, who ordered him to surrender his belongings, including a criminal gang of his own, or else he would have faced his wrath. Unfazed and thinking that Mozenrath was just a silly man in a costume, Duncan starts mocking him, to which the young sorcerer responded by zapping him with his magic, laughing and mocking the punk while torturing him. The teenage criminal, however, isn't willing to give up and, angered for Mozenrath's action, quickly leaps at him, taking him off guard and sending him tumbling down a mountain. However, Duncan gets mad when he sees Mozenrath climbing up and unleashing his wrath on him and, before he can do anything, he is knocked out by the sorcerer.

Sacrificed For A Dark Purpose

A Dark Return

Later on throughout the war, the malicious sorcerer Eli Pandarus and his ally, the demonic Lord Darkar, manage to resurrect Duncan.

However, both he and Eli Pandarus welcome Duncan back from the dead as the latter explains that he returned to serve as a the new head of the Misfits after its former leader, Julius, died to a criminal from another rival organization, Ladd Russo. Seeing it as a fun way to cause destruction, he is about to accept, but asks for more insight first, hearing that Pandarus also struck a deal with Courtney to bring her boyfriend back to life. He also states that Duncan would be a good candidate within the council of the Knights of Despair but would need to hunt down someone to prove his worth first. The delinquent already has an idea to destroy Mozenrath, but realizing his last fight with him didn't go so well, agrees to start small as long as Pandarus helps him make a necessary tool to best the wizard, known as the Infinity Gauntlet. Loving Duncan's sadistic side, the wizard accepts the offer.

The First Victim

Thanks to Pandarus, Duncan find the cutlery criminal, and one of the lower ranked henchmen of an organization from which the deceased Ladd Russo worked before being the sacrifice for Lord Darkar's resurrection the Condiment King. Unphased by the recent return of the punk, Buddy Standler fires his ketchup and mustard guns at his face... which barely does anything, as Duncan throws a chair in response. With his main tactic going nowhere, Buddy belittles Duncan, knowing full well that the rest of the clan would destroy him, and even mocking his relationship with Courtney, infuriating him and leading to the henchman getting kneaded in the chest and thrown off the top floor of the building. Although he hangs on by both the wires of his tanks, and the skin of his fingers, Duncan pounces onto both of those with a knife and stabs both, causing Buddy to lose his grip and fall to his death.

Despair at its Maximum!

Despite the Beast abandoning the faction, King Andrias holds an announcement showcasing that while their leader is gone, and largely replaced by him, their motives have not changed, and their faction has recently gained a new member, introducing the magical master of rats, simply titled the Shaman. With this reveal, Junko Enoshima and Sideshow Bob decide to reveal their own allies that joined the cause, albeit not willingly, those being Speed-O-Sound Sonic and Genocide Jill. Most prominently however, when Pandarus shows up in the middle of the meeting, he summons the nigh-godlike being of despair, Lord Darkar, and the recently revived scoundrel, Duncan. The crowd is proud to see the two of them, as the recent misfit claims their next target, Mozenrath, one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, and the cruel fool who had used him as a PowerSource to create his own equal beast, Eradicus. Seeing the griffin as a threat, the Knights agree upon Duncan's idea to target them, with Facilier in particular, used as more of a pawn for Alastor than... much else, sees value and pity of the punk, offering him a deal to create a few allies to assist him in the wizard's fall, to which he easily accepts, as two new demonic entities, El Charro Negro and Grimmjow join his side, for him to use to bring a fate worse than death onto Mozenrath.

Trivia

• Despite his involvement in wars, he cannot deny that after the roles he has had and the controversies, he has generated some noise within the fandom and problems in recent times despite the fact that it should have never happened in the first place as for the creator of Villains Battles he didn't mean to cause this whole controversy in the first place.
• Duncan being a major villain in villains war contexts is reminiscing about roles he had in fanfictions, in which Duncan was the main antagonist instead of characters such as Chris Mclean or Chef Hatchet. However this isn't the only reason why the creator of Villains Battles and Smash Bros Lawl Infinite uses him as a major villain, in fact, he also looks on the TD contestants' point of view rather than looking only on the major villain's point of view, reason why Duncan results being a major player due to his arc within every Total Drama season he appeared.
• Aside from Scar, Duncan is also considered as an equivalent to other three Disney characters, those being Hades, Pete and Donald Duck.
• In the Disney vs Cartoon Villains War lore, Duncan plays the same role the Disney Villain with the same name from Gargoyles does, with the only difference that while an assassin hired by the Disney Duncan didn't kill the king personally, the Non-Disney/Cartoon one manages to kill his father although aided by the assassin he hired. Plus, while the Disney Villain does not become enemies with Macbeth right away, Duncan becomes enemies with him, leading to his downfall at the hands of his former ally, Scary Girl, who switches sides with Macbeth during the final stages of the war.
