"Together, Morgana, you and I can rule the cosmos!" In this picture, Chaotica, Evil Overlord of Planet X (played by Megavolt), rants about the power of the Destructo Beam...while Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People (played by Morgana McCawber) looks less than impressed.
This is a crossover with "Captain Proton!", a very funny holodeck program done to look like an old 1930's science-fiction serial, on Star Trek: Voyager. Chaotica, the main villian, and Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People, are two of the main characters. (In case you're now thinking this sounds a bit familiar...YES, it IS where my screen name comes from. "Captain Chaotica!!" is a combo of the main good guy's title and the main bad guy's name. I don't know WHY I combined them, don't ask me...) Chaotica is a very melodramatic, ranting, insane mad scientist type, with a weird evil laugh and a tendency to make dangerous high-tech (well, THEIR idea of high tech, in the '30s) gadgets. He is also a classic "evil overlord" type...so, when I saw Megavolt playing the "Evil Cosmic Overlord" on the episode "Whirled History", something just went CLICK and I realised he'd be PERFECT for the part of Chaotica! And the more I thought about both characters, the more similarities I saw. Thus, a really wacky and strange crossover idea was born. It flourished even better when I realised how good of casting Morgana is for Queen Arachnia...not just in looks, but in temperment and alignment, too! And the fact that Chaotica has lightning bolts on his robe--nicely symbolising Megavolt's electrical powers--doesn't hurt nothin' either.
Anyway. If you haven't seen BOTH shows, then you won't get the joke. But TRUST me, these Darkwing characters are PERFECT "casting"! :)
This picture was not drawn in shades of grey, it was originally colour and then TURNED black and white--as _real_ black and white movies were, of course, colour at the time--in REAL life...to the people _on the set_.

To see the Destructo Beam in all its glory (hey, I'm proud of it, okay?) without the people in front of it, click HERE. The costumes and the hairdos were all copied off of actual Voyager screenshots, or as well as I COULD, considering that the only screenshots I could find were rather blurry. The Destructo Beam, however, I completely made up out of my own head....trying to make it look like the right STYLE for the period, of course (big, gaudy, lots of blinky lights and fancy doohickeys that do absolutely nothing but _look_ good) and it bears little resemblance to the actual Destructo Beam in the show...aside from general style. The light bulbs and the lightning stripe were added because of Megavolt's influence...hee hee...I mean, it is HIM playing this Evil Overlord, is it not? :)
