Scrooge's Doubles

[Gilles MAURICE]

Hello!
I'm working on Scrooge's doubles, from all creators.
I'm going to tell you what I've found in my little comics collection. If you know others, please tell me!!
Scrooge McDuck, the Richest Duck in the World, a little peevish and stingy, but we saw on several occasion, especially with a Goldie O'Gilt, that his heart was gold... He has prospered honestly (except one time...). Here are all (?) his doubles...
The first, well known, is John D. Rockerduck, created by our dear Uncle Carl in 1961, and continued by many italian creators... He would have a good heart, without Scrooge. He is a little younger than him , and they first met eachother around 1884, when John's father shows to Scrooge how to search for gold...
The second from Barks,1956, often mistaken with John, is Flintheart "Flinty" Glomgold. Flintheart, living in Limpopo, South America, think HE is the Richest Man, but Scrooge allways beat him in their stupid challenges. He does the same things that Scrooge: He's got a Money Bin, he keeps his first rand..., and he is almost as rich as Scrooge, but this "almost" makes the difference. This double has never acted honestly, since his first meeting with Scrooge, around 1896.
The third, also by Barks 1965, is the fantom of Notre Duck (real name unknown). Under his black clothes, which make me think a little about the Phantom Blot or the Black Knight, he's got EXACTLY the same face than Scrooge. He is good. He buids a reproduction of the Cathedral with the coins thrown in the fountain.
I consider the DonRosa's D93574 Scrooge when Donald doesn't exist, as a double from another parallel dimension. (I dunno if somebody has seen the episode of "Buffy against the Vampires". This episode was a sequel from another episode in witch Cordelia had wiched that Buffy never went to sunnydale, so every characters become vampires, but Buffy returns back in time and changed the vow, so everything become normal. In this episode, we discover that it exists a Sunnydale where everybody is vampires, in a parallel dimension created by the vow, and those vampires come in  our dimension, so every character has got a vampire double...). This Scrooge has the same past than our Scrooge, but he hasn't taken a kick in his back in 1930, and Magica and Glomgold have stolen all he owned, so he is a bum.
The fourth I've found is in the first Picsou Magasine, in the story "Oncle Picsou contre Tonton Soupic", originally AL 170 A : "Zio Paperone e la guera delle conchiglie", from Rodolfo Cimino and Giulio Chierchini". In France he is called Soupic, (does anyone know his Italian Name?), and if he was publicated in US, he would probably be named "DucMac", or something like that... He lives in Pearlyland[?] (Nacreland), an Island probably in Middle America, an island where shells are considered like money, so he has a big "Shell Bin" in form of a Giant Shell, and he thinks he is the richest man in the World because he's got a lot of shells, in which he dives... But he goes in Duckburg and meet Scrooge, and they fight as with Flintheart, untill a wiseman tells them to stay in their respective countries, in which each one will be the richest...He looks very muck like Scrooge.
The last one, from an Italian story published in PM 94, is a man who also looks very muck like Scrooge, first dressed like him. He comes from a future dimsion in wich Earth will be a colony of another planet...
In Barks'  WUS 48, an Indian Without Face has also briefly been a Scrooge Double because of Magica's power...
Fergus McDuck, Scrooge's Father, has been mistaken with Scrooge in DonRosa's "Of Ducks, Dimes and Destiny".
