History[]

The Ballad of Duke Baloney![]

A graduate student who successfully started her own charity, Zan becomes the CEO of Glomgold Industries after Flintheart Glomgold disappears during the events of "The Shadow War!" She shuts down a number of the company's divisions that were based solely on Glomgold's outlandish schemes for revenge on Scrooge McDuck. She also sets out to form a charity between her company and McDuck Enterprises called "Dimes for Ducklings", though Scrooge proves miserly as usual. Zan is later present when Glomgold makes his return after recovering from amnesia, and witnesses him and Scrooge making a wager to settle once and for all who the richest duck in the world will be.

The 87 Cent Solution![]

Zan Owlson hopes that Glomgold's company can win the wager through amicable means and not his villainous plots. She even puts up a plan called N.E.S.T. (No Elaborate Schemes Today), and even advises Glomgold to adapt to Scrooge's methods. Later, she informs her superior of being crowned "Richest Duck in the World"; And when Scrooge supposedly dies of Gold Fever, Owlson informs Glomgold at the funeral of the cause of death. When it seemed like a Glomgold victory, Scrooge shows up alive and well having listened to his family.

Raiders of the Doomsday Vault![]

Owlson accompanies Glomgold to Von Drake labs in Boarway for a presentation about the Doomsday Vault while cutting back on her superior's dramatic entrance. At the meeting, when the Money Tree comes up, Owlson points out she prepared it but Glomgold didn't read about it. When Glomgold says he wants to use the vault's Money Tree, Owlson means to blow the Von Drake children's minds with how secure the vault will be. Glomgold's attempt at another evil plan gets him ejected from the lab and earns another admonishment from Owlson who is only trying to prevent the company from suffering a potential catastrophe. Owlson is then mentioned to have left taking Glomgold's plane without him.

GlomTales![]

Owlson gets to work for McDuck Enterprises because Scrooge won the bet and Glomgold's Company.

The Richest Duck in the World![]

Owlson starts work with Louie but then realizes what a self-centered person he was after Louie says he did it when it was really another person's idea. She decides to quit and be a "Bigger Billionaire than Scrooge".

Let's Get Dangerous![]

Owlson is the Mayor of Saint Canard, and she tells Darkwing they need a hero to stop The Fearsome Four from destroying the city.

Trivia[]

Zan Owlson's name is based on that of Suzanna Olson, a producer for DuckTales.
Owlson reappears in her role as St. Canard's mayor in Dynamite Entertainment's new Darkwing Duck comic book, which is drawn in the original series' style; this makes her the first character created for the reboot to be depicted in the "classic Disney" style (but not officially incorporated into the original Disney Afternoon universe, as the new series is considered non-canon to the original show and the previous revival comics).
