===Super Daisy<!--'Paperinika' and 'Super Daisy' redirect here-->=== [[File:Paperinika.png|thumb|right|Daisy as Paperinika]] Since the early 1970s, Daisy has been featured as a [[superhero]] [[crime fighter]] in Italian Disney comics. Daisy's [[alter ego]] as '''Super Daisy'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> ('''Paperinika'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> in Italian) was designed by writer [[Guido Martina]] and artist [[Giorgio Cavazzano]] as a female counterpart to the "Duck Avenger" ("[[Paperinik]]" in Italian). While Donald's superhero persona was originally created to place Donald into situations where he was finally a "winner" (versus his usual portrayal as a "loser"), when Super Daisy appeared in the same story as the Duck Avenger, she then became the "winner" and Donald was once more relegated to the role of "loser". This upset some children, who complained to the comics' editors, which resulted in the Italian comics ceasing to depict Daisy as a superhero, although Super Daisy continued to be featured in the [[Disney comics]] in [[Brazil]]. As Super Daisy, Daisy has no superpowers but instead uses devices created by high society fashion designer Genialina Edy Son. Genialina personally designed Daisy's costume, as well as supplying her with crime-fighting gear such as sleeping pills and a [[James Bond]]-esque sports car. Frequently, Super Daisy both fights alongside and against the Duck Avenger. In the Brazilian stories, Super Daisy often teams up with other Disney comic superheroes, such as [[Super Goof]] ([[Goofy]]), Super Gilly ("Gilbert"), and [[the Red Bat]] ([[Fethry Duck]]). While the Duck Avenger's main goal is enforcing justice in Duckburg, and proving himself better than Donald's usual, unlucky self, Super Daisy acts mostly on an extreme, somewhat warped form of [[feminism]], donning her alternate identity to prove that women are better than men at whatever they do, openly antagonizing the Duck Avenger to prove her point.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++923-AP|title=Paperinika contro Paperinik β I.N.D.U.C.K.S.|website=Coa.inducks.org|access-date=January 7, 2018}}</ref> Later stories, such as the "Hero Club" inspired Italian story "Ultraheroes", show Super Daisy and the Duck Avenger at the center of a weird [[love triangle]]: Super Daisy, despite their bickering eventually warms to the Duck Avenger, feeling drawn to his righteous persona. They both feel unable to pursue their relationship, as they feel themselves cheating their non-superhero selves, as they do not realize each other's identity as companions in everyday life.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://coa.inducks.org/subseries.php?c=Ultraheroes|title=Ultraheroes β I.N.D.U.C.K.S.|website=Coa.inducks.org|access-date=January 7, 2018}}</ref>
