Dr. Reginald Bushroot
Who is Dr. Reginald Bushroot....and why should you care about him? Who is this person who pretends to be able to write a
web page? Well, my name is Katalin "Rover Artist" Bakonyi, and I'm a rabid fan of both Road Rovers and Darkwing Duck.
In Darkwing Duck however.....I'm a VERY rabid fan-girl for Bushroot(Reggie).
Yeah, yeah, some of you are saying that "Reggie's a whimp" and "Reggie's a villain" and "Reggie's a veggie",well,
I'm quite aware of those things, thats why I like him...he's so gosh-darned cute looking, even if he IS a plant.
Anyway, anyone who has the good taste and smarts to like Reggie must be a gosh-darned good person, eh?
So, without further ado (or with all honesty, a tiny little bitsy bit of ado)
my little compiled biography of Reggie!
Bushroot
Real Name: Dr. Reginald Bushroot
Organization: Sometimes member of The Fearsome Five
Status: Plant scientist (botanist)
Base of Operations: St. Canard, anyplace with plants really.
Wanted For: Attempting to turn a colleague into a mutant plant duck; having two former colleagues killed by
vines; menacing the city with a bouquet of giant daisies; stealing Christmas; failing to control the giant
vampire potato for which he was responsible; turning a child into a giant slime moster
First appearance: Beauty and the Beet
History:
Doctor Reginald Bushroot was a low-funded scientist at an ivy league
school. His ultimate goal was to end world hunger by combining plant DNA
with the DNA of other ducks, thereby giving them the ability to
photosynthesize (combine sunlight with gases in the air and water to synthesize
food. Remember your science class?) When his grants were revoked, he
hastiliy put together an experiment and tried it on himself. Needless to
say it worked a little to well making him the first duck with plant DNA
(Laceum nycanthropus). Unfortunately, Bushroot then had to turn to
crime to further fund his research. (Sounds frighteningly real) His pet, Spike, is a venus-flytrap.
They occupy a large greenhouse(it was never established where is really is, all we know is that it's somewhere
in St. Canard, and is walking/running distance from the University of St. Canard because Bushroot was running
back and forth between those two places in 'Beauty and the Beet')
with the rest of his(Bushroot's) plants and scientific material.
Synopsis:
Bushroot is not really such a mad scientist. More like a mislead
scientist. All bushroot really needs is maybe some friends or a support
group. He is often seen lonely and has attempted many times to "grow" his own friends and even a bride.
Why is the scientist who tries to solve world hunger the "bad guy"?
There must be something about scientists people don't like since they are
often the "bad guys". A few examples are Doctor Frankenstein, Doctor
Jekyl (Mister Hyde), and our friend Bushroot. Bushroot can regenerate to full size and health if
even a clipping of him survives, making him very nearly immortal(also the fact that trees can live for hundreds
of years+ might be a factor.....wonder how long Reggie could live?And if he does age like a tree....does he get
growth rings?).For your imformation the idea of photosynthesis as an answer to world hunger
has been brought up before. That's why martians and other aliens in old movies are always
portrayed having green skin.

Usless Trivia: Bushroot was working in Scientific Research Lab 356. He was lab partner for a long time to
Dr. Rhoda Dendron, Bushroot had a crush on her, and didn't know if she felt the same way towards him.
He was constantly tormented by Dr. Gary and Dr. Larson because of his passion for plants and his theorys.
The dean that took away his grants was dean Tightbill. The flower that he combined his DNA with was a
petunia. Formula IQ2U is the one that was supposed to give normal plants intelgence but ended up killing the
plants after they dissolved into a slimy mess.
Reggie pics! Reggie pics! Yayyy!
Okay...I'm forever having the everlasting problem of posting pictures (or anything else for that matter)....sooo...
here's a link to my very first computer generated Reggie picture!.
Well, this is all I have for now, please come again, oh, and bring some cheese balls (inside joke)
Yayyy...thanks, Georgie for posting this! Yayyy!!
More to come.......
