Ganz is a nemesis of Ace Duck and the leader of a trio of Nazi-inspired anthropomorphic geese.
History[]
Because of fluctuations in the space/time continuum, April was pulled into an alternate dimension where anthropmorphic animals (birds, at least) exist and humans do not, on a planet that is not Earth. She meets Ace Duck when he saves her from a trap, and then explains that he's trying to get to a magical artifact known as the Heart of K'avila before the villains do. Right on cue, Ganz shows up with Carlsbad and another unnamed goose. Ace and April high-tail it into Temple of K'avila and make their way past a host of dangerous traps, only to be surprised when the geese are already in the heart of the temple waiting for them.
Ganz forces April to walk the narrow path to the Heart in order to spare the geese from any potential traps. Ace tells her where the traps are located, and she gets the idea to trigger one on purpose, causing the path to crumble behind her. This gives Ace an opportunity to sock Ganz in the beak while he stares in shock.
April grabs the Heart and the entire temple begins to collapse. She asks it to show her a safe passage out, and grabs Ace to come with her as they exit and leave the geese beneath the rubble. She asks the Heart if the geese got out, but it tells her there is only one use of the Heart per person. Saturday Morning Adventures April Special
Ganz shows up again alive and well when Mr. Ogg pulls a host of the Ninja Turtles' villains from the "past, present, and future" to attack them all at once. After the villains start fighting among themselves, Tokka chokes Ganz and then is seen fighting Antrax while on top of the Kraathatrogon. What Rhymes With Melee?
