Darkwing Duck and Megavolt knew each other years ago, at their senior prom. This is where the two brought into light their
hero and
villain personas. Megvolt originated as a calm high school geek named Elmo Sputterspark. Due to his intellect, he constantly got
teased and
taunted by a "
jock" named Hamm String and Prina Lott, his
girlfriend. One day, while Elmo was conducting as experiment with static electricity, Hamm tampers with the experiment. In the end, Elmo got the power to harness
electricity.
After the experiment, Elmo's brain became wacky, which explains why he can't even remember his name most of the time. Also, Elmo had the urge to take revenge on the school. So, he attended the high school prom to wreak his revenge. At first, his name was "Megawatt", but he changed it to "Megavolt" because it matched the name of the band in the prom. He was thwarted by Drake Mallard who dressed up as the hero Darkwing Duck.
Years later, Megavolt attempted to destroy the high school reunion. However, he was again stopped by Darkwing Duck.
