Zan Owlson is a female anthropomorphic owl and the 2017 Continuum counterpart of Zan Owlson.
Description[]
After successfully forming her own charity as a graduate student at Mouseton University, this willful businesswoman ended up taking the helm of Glomgold Industries in 2018, during the four months where an amnesiac Flintheart Glomgold lived as Duke Baloney in the Duckburg Docks while presumed dead. Despite Scrooge's reluctance, Owlson's last and greatest deed as head of Glomgold Industries was to create a charity together with McDuck Enterprises, “Dimes for Ducklings”.
She later continued to work as Glomgold's top advisor, single-handedly reining in Glomgold's crazier schemes and preventing them from sinking the company, for about a year, before finally quitting in a rage after Louie Duck's brief takeover of Glomgold Industries and McDuck Enterprises led her to become involved in yet another life-threatening adventure. She subsequently became the Mayor of St. Canard, with her responsible and competent leadership soon driving back the thus-far-out-of-control supervillain crime in the city to the extent that Darkwing Duck was barely necessary.
Behind the scenes[]
Zan Owlson first appeared in 2018 in the DuckTales 2017 episode The Ballad of Duke Baloney. Owlson's name is wordplay on that of Suzanna Olson, the producer behind DuckTales 2017.
When she was first introduced, fans theorized that Owlson might be a disguise of Magica De Spell, due to her yellow-tinged eyes. This was, however, eventually proven inaccurate.
Owlson is the first instance of a character introduced in the 2017 Continuum before their Prime Universe counterpart debuted, with the Prime Universe Zan Owlson making her first appearance in Dynamite Entertainment's Darkwing Duck comics.
