Origin
Dr. Reginald Bushroot was once a scientist, but when his budget was going to be cut, he was forced to do the experiment on himself. This experiment changed him into a Plant-duck creature. After that he became the super-villain known as Bushroot, fighting the superhero Darkwing Duck. He sometimes is a member of the Fearsome Five.

Major Arcs
Duck Knight Returns
When Quackwerks took over the city of St. Canard, Bushroot was forced to work in an office job watching everybody’s plants wither and die. So, when Quackerjack invited him to join him and his new Fearsome Five, he jumped at the chance to go back to a life of villainy. When he and the gang saw Darkwing Duck had also returned, they attacked him, only to have both teams subdued by Quackwerks Crimebots. They quickly realized the force behind Quackwerks was not Negaduck like they expected but Taurus Bulba! A fight brakes out, and Bushroot and his fellows are defeated. Darkwing does end up winning and Bushroot ends up in Jail.

Crisis on Infinite Darkwings
