| “ | Greetings, puny Earthers. I am General Lunaris of the vastly superior Planet Moon. For too long, my people have lived in fear of your Earth hanging in the sky. The time has come for the Earth to fear us. I now wish to speak to Scrooge McDuck. "Smarter than the smarties", eh? Heh. Perhaps on Earth. You've probably just realized that I've taken out your defenses. And you've retreated to the strength of your impenetrable "Money Bin". But as we all know your family is the greatest strength of all. Which is why I'm coming for them next. Lunaris... has arrived. | „ |
| ~ Lunaris' speech to the people of Earth. |
| “ | If the Earthers won't live in fear of the Moon, then they'll DIE in fear of it! After I blow up the Earth, then YOU won't be a planet! | „ |
| ~ Lunaris announcing his intention to destroy the Earth by ramming his ship to the Earth's core. |
General Lunaris is a major antagonist in the 2017 DuckTales reboot series.
He is the leader of the Moonlanders and the hidden city of the Tranquility who plots to conquer Earth in order to prove the moon's superiority. He is also the arch-nemesis of Lieutenant Penumbra, Della Duck and Donald Duck.
He was voiced by the late Lance Reddick, who also voiced Steven Erickson in Invincible and Thordak in The Legend of Vox Machina, and by Masafumi Kobatake in the Japanese dub.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He wanted to launch an invasion on Earth because his father General Meridian feared Earth and kept his society hidden, while Lunaris wanted to have Earth fear him, deeming his father as a coward and not wanting to be like him.
- He framed Della Duck by shooting himself in the arm so he can motivate the Moonlanders to launch an invasion on Earth.
- He sentenced Donald to the gold mines for the rest of his life.
- While he did give Penumbra captain rank, it is not out of gratitude, but to maintain good publicity, before eventually taking it away when she freed Donald and tried to stop his plan to invade Earth.
- It's revealed later he has been planning an invasion of Earth long before Della arrived and only needed her for her rocket plans since his rocket wasn't working.
- He did not at all care for the lives of the Moonlanders, as he was willing to sacrifice them to achieve his goals.
- He cruelly tricked Donald into thinking that he intended to target the children first, either by killing them personally or ordering their deaths, when he invaded Earth to break the spirits of Scrooge and the rest of his allies, making them easier to finish them off.
- He electrocuted Penumbra into submission by remotely activating a charge on her suit upon discovering she had freed Donald and was against his invasion, and it's very likely that he sentenced her to life imprisonment under false charges of treason before the invasion started.
- He broke the radio to stop Donald from contacting his family and warning them about his invasion.
- In season 2 finale "Moonvasion", he launched his invasion on Earth, during which he initially succeeded in enslaving the entire planet, and forced it into an orbit that will eventually cause the entire planet to freeze, making it uninhabitable.
- Seconds before Mitzi showed up, he was about to kill Scrooge and possibly Glomgold too.
- When his plan to conquer Earth is foiled, he furiously decided to ram his ship into the Earth with enough force to smash through to its core and destroy it out of spite, deciding that if Earth won’t live in fear of the Moon, they’ll die in fear of it instead, while not caring that his own soldiers/people were on it.
- He trapped Della and her family behind his ship's engine boosters, planning to incinerate and kill them all nice and slow.
- Unlike the other Moonlanders, he knew what he is doing was evil, but he still did it anyway.
- Though he has comedic moments like repeatedly insisting that the moon is a planet and also his defeat of getting stuck in his ship orbiting the Earth, he is still generally taken seriously.
- His defeat is also played for satisfaction considering of what he has done to the Duck family and his former lieutenant Penumbra.
- While Taurus Bulba attempted to remake the universe with seemingly fewer resources than Lunaris, Lunaris doesn't have the resources to destroy the multiverse like Bulba.
