Duncan is one of the main characters in the Total Drama franchise. He is a delinquent punk currently on parole from Juvie. While Duncan has displayed multiple villainous tendencies in his harsh treatment of those around him during the competition, he is actually a good person in his core, but he would never admit it to anyone. Appearance Duncan has black & lime green mohawk hair and teal eyes. He has a vertical eyebrow piercing and two ear piercings. He wears a black shirt with a skull on it, dark green shorts, and red sneakers. History In Total Drama Island, Duncan antagonises many people and is responsible for Bridgette’s elimination. In most times, he, along with two of his best friends Geoff and DJ, would often bully and prank Harold to the point of him getting revenge by getting Courtney, his love interest, eliminated. Since the season one special, his relationship with Courtney slowly becomes an abusive one, due to her ditching him for the million dollars. In Total Drama Action, he becomes close friends with Gwen, and was a part of Trent's mental breakdown after combining his and Gwen's names together, forming "nine". This made Trent obsess over Gwen until his elimination, to the point where the couple broke up due to Trent's health problem with the competition, as well as Gwen not wanting to cheat. He is also one of the two people directly responsible for Gwen being hated by most of the contestants, the other being Justin. Throughout the season, Duncan started causing eliminations of some contestants (Bridgette, Geoff, Trent, Leshawna, Justin, Lindsay, Harold, and Courtney). Also during this season, he is mostly the victim of beatings, orders, and being used by none other than Courtney, who was suppose to be his love interest, but she lost respect for him she had in Season 1. He either came in second to Beth or won Total Drama Action, depending on the results of a fan-vote done online for each country when the finale aired there. Despite being a winner, he returned to Total Drama World Tour. Duncan loses his patience with Chris, fed up of having to sing in every episode. Duncan loses his patience with Chris, fed up of having to sing in every episode. In the first episode of Total Drama World Tour, Duncan quits the show because he refuses to sing, and is then then brutally thrown off the plane by Chris and afterwards is reported as missing on the Aftermath show. He and Ezekiel has became Total Drama Fugitives. Later, he is found by Courtney and Gwen in London during a challenge to capture Jack the Ripper (Ezekiel), and forced to return to the show by Chris McLean. Immediately after returning, Duncan apparently lost his attraction to Courtney, and became attracted to Gwen. Duncan and Gwen shared their first kiss on the end of the episode of I See London.., cheating on Courtney with Gwen in the bathroom confessional with the intention of starting a relationship, but they are caught in the act by Tyler, who reveals what happened to the rest of the contestants in the next episode due to pressure from Alejandro, who discovers Gwen and Duncan's secret by overhearing a musical number between them. Courtney is so shocked by the news that she goes insane, vowing to destroy Gwen to the point of sabotaging her own team. Cody, Gwen's one-sided love interest, punches out Duncan in response. Although Duncan does attempt to apologize to Courtney immediately after this, only to be kicked in the croch mid-sentence, he has shown no remorse after this point and he and Gwen make no further attempts to apologize to Courtney, because of everything she has put them through, through humiliation, hatred, and threats. This, along with the ever-manipulative Alejandro encouraging her to take revenge, makes Courtney even more infuriated, leading to her brutalizing Gwen during the Area 51 challenge and "flirting" with Tyler in order to make Duncan jealous as revenge. Duncan didn't care about Courtney and Tyler flirting, and Duncan and Gwen became an official couple sharing their second kiss in The Ex Files. In the next episode, Duncan starts secretly working with Alejandro to throw Courtney off, the same thing that she did to him last season, and pretends to feel sad about her. During the challenge in Australia, Duncan and Cody fight while riding on kangaroos and as revenge, Duncan throws a Dingo at Cody towards the end of the episode, injuring him and causing his team to lose. However, while doing all this Duncan didn't realize Gwen's emotions, who was upset when she saw him crying over Courtney and had put together her own plan to get rid of Courtney and save herself, which would have worked if Duncan hadn't thrown the dingo at Cody, who was going to vote for Courtney but ended up accidentally voting for Sierra instead due to being in a daze from his injuries. Gwen and Courtney end up competing in a tiebreaker challenge, which Gwen loses due to the challenge being rigged that leads to an allergic reaction, which leaves her eyes swollen shut and her face mauled as she takes the Drop of Shame. Gwen gives Courtney one final, insult as she plummets, presumably referring to the fact that she still has her former boyfriend despite being defeated... although Duncan does not seem to be there for Gwen as she leaves the show broken and humiliated. In the following episode, even though Duncan doesnt show signs of concern for Gwen, Duncan seems depressed because hes pretty quiet, but still does not want to take Courtney back and they are now both openly hostile to one another. In the episode after that, they are "married" as part of a challenge, so Duncan gets back at Courtney by pranking her in the first challenge and still show nothing but hatred for each other. In Sweden Sour, Duncan is shown carving Gwens face on a wooden part of the seat, which shows that he does miss Gwen. During this time he attempts to warn his friend Owen about Alejandro's true nature taking note from Noah's warning about Alejandro earlier and are working together to eliminate him unfortunately Owen is eliminated in Niagara Brawls due to his popularity being a threat. Courtney is finally eliminated in Chinese Fake-Out, much to Duncan's pleasure, but finally meets his end not long after when Alejandro finally betrays him, and along with Heather allows Duncan to be brutally beaten by the feral Ezekiel during the African Safari challenge, after which he is eliminated. Duncan is last seen in the peanut gallery with all the other losers during the finals, including Gwen, whom he is frequently seen next to, inferring that they are still together despite after what happened in Australia. Thus, the two presumably remain a couple, and survived the volcano incident in the finale along with everyone else, even Ezekiel. It's also been hinted that nobody cared about them cheating on Courtney due to everyone's hatred for her for what Courtney has put them through. In March 2011, a never-before-seen clip surfaced in the Polish version of the show, in which Duncan and Gwen are seen relaxing together in Hawaii after their eliminations. Courtney starts singing rudely about them after insulting Cody and Heather, and Duncan threw a sandal at her before making out with an incredibly amused Gwen again, confirming that they are indeed still a couple, despite what happened during their times together on the show. Thanks to Alejandro and Heather, Duncan is eliminated from the season. Thanks to Alejandro and Heather, Duncan is eliminated from the season. All these events during the third season have make Duncan's character controversial in the fandom. Many have noted his apparent lack of concern for Courtney during Season 3 even prior to her going insane, as well as his continued hostility to her afterwards (despite Courtney doing the same to him), and claim that he intended to hurt her from the start, and would have left her for Gwen even if she had reacted differently. This is apparently due to the fact that due to everything that Courtney has pulled him through in Total Drama Action, and finally opens his eyes to who his girlfriend really is and all she's done to him, he, infact, no longer cares for her any longer. These events, however, were eventually made up during the events of the fifth season. He made a couple of cameo appearances during Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, Duncan appears on the yacht with his fellow veterans. He and Gwen are making out passionately while DJ, Harold, and Leshawna dance nearby. Duncan still owes Chris some camera time for quitting last season, and was caught in order to demonstrate the challenge in Grand Chef Auto. However, Duncan runs away when Chef unties him. As revenge for Chris using his kitchen as the site for the challenge, Chef later points the newcomers to paint Mt. Chrismore, and he blames it on Duncan. At the end of the episode, Duncan says he in fact didn't add Mt. Chrismore as a spray paint spot, but right after that,. he blows up Mt. Chrismore while laughing maniacally with Chef.

Duncan was once called "Dunkie" by Courtney after he got knocked out with a tranquillizer dart in "Dial M for Merger" from Action. It's implied Chris pulled some strings to get him out of juvey when he started doing the show, Chris threatens to send him back to keep him in line when he first see's the camp. The audio of the "TDA Caught on Tape" clip reveals that Duncan has a blankie named Mr. Bumblebottom. Duncan considers it the best thing he ever has stolen. Despite his negative attitude, Duncan ended up winning Action in his ending. Real world example was that when Cartoon Network conducted a public vote, Duncan ended up winning the vote with 77%, beating Beth's 23%. In World Tour, while Duncan cheated on Courtney for Gwen, he doesn't get much flack (compared to Courtney and Gwen, who end up being hated by the majority of the contestants, and even getting their statuses swapped in All-Stars, where Gwen is a villain and Courtney is a hero). In my AU, Duncan is 21, is still dating Gwen, not having caught feelings for Courtney. He's in community college. He's Chris McLean's son, being neglected, ab*sed and exploited a lot as a kid. His mother was the one who helped him the most, but Duncan usually spent more time in juvenile hall than at home. When Duncan was 18, after Total Drama, Chris adopted Harold to stir "drama" in the family, but Duncan and Harold got along surprisingly well, forgetting about all the shit they did to each other on the show. When Duncan was 19, his small brother, Jakee, (yes, two e's) was born. Jakee was chaotic, a genius and easily knew how to get his way. At one point, Harold went to war in Romania, and the war ended with him sacrificing himself. Harold's funeral was on national television, Canada, Georgia and Nigeria paying respect for his services. Harold won many badges, including the Medal Of Honor. Duncan hated it, but eventually got over it. He was excited to find out Harold hadn't actually died and came back under the name of "Nerd Davenport" (ironically, Davenport was the name of their future step dad, since their mother would divorce Chris and take all his money, winning in court with a brutal ammount of evidence). His cousins are the Ross family, and his dearest cousin and best friend is Luke Ross, a chaotic prankster, much like Duncan. Duncan lived in a dorm building alongside all former TDI contestants, and some former Squid Game contestants, and a few extras. The dorm building is owned by Chef Hatchet, who makes them work around the building so they don't have to pay rent (and also train with badass VR setups).
