Taurus Bulba, later known as the Steerminator, is a major antagonist in Darkwing Duck. He is also the main antagonist of the first arc of the Darkwing Duck comic book series.

- Tried to kill Darkwing Duck by grabbing him to prevent him from getting away when the damaged ramrod was about to explode.
- Years later he betrayed FOWL and destroyed their base, even though the organization resurrected him, but as a cyborg. He would of killed everyone there if Steelbeak didn't mentioned Darkwing Duck, who he wants to destroy forever.
- After finding out Darkwing Duck is still alive, he decides to take revenge on Darkwing Duck and kidnaps Gosalyn and her best friend Honker Muddlefoot.

- Forces his prisoners to get the code for the Gizmoduck suit, and tries to make Gosalyn his slave when she gets it.
- Unleashes weapons all over QuackWerks HQ in order to destroy St. Canard when Darkwing has him cornered.

Trivia
- His 2017 counterpart can be considered more evil than he is since he attempted to destroy all of reality. However, the standards are lower in Darkwing Duck than they are in DuckTales 2017, that too, 2017 version really didn't have any plans to murder Professor Waddlemeyer in cold-blood, something this version planned on doing, that too after he gives the codes for the RamRod which can make him rob every bank in the world.
- Also, this Taurus Bulba is worse boss than his 2017 counterpart, as he was rude to his minions from the beginning, while his new version was firstly nice to his minions, but became ruder later.
- He is the very first Mickey Mouse Pure Evil villain (since Darkwing Duck is connected to DuckTales and DuckTales is connected to Mickey Mouse universe, due to Donald Duck being the best friend of Mickey Mouse and Scrooge Mcduck (DuckTales's main protagonist) being the uncle of Donald Duck).
- He is the very first TV Disney villain to be Pure Evil.
