Powers/Abilities: The Stone Ducks from Saturn have large and apparently rock-like forms, with superhuman strength that was even greater on Earth due to the lower gravity (perhaps lifting a few tons); they threw and broke some rocks to demonstrate their strength.

    They eat rocks like granite and marble.

    They possessed a spaceship for interplanetary and likely interstellar travel, and they believed they possessed the means to conquer and enslave Earth.

    They utilized advanced technology, such as the World Destroyer robot and the Psycho-Technologic Ray, which could generate illusions (or perhaps make others see something that they specifically feared).

    The Stone Ducks have a petrifaction weapon that project a ray that can turn anything into stone, and they turned a tree and a bush into stone to showcase it.

    Despite being made of stone, they can apparently sweat (see comments).

Traits: The Stone Ducks from Saturn sought to colonize other planets and to turn all of those planets' current inhabitants into stone.

Donald Duck comes back with newfound powers   

   

   

History:
(Marvel & Disney: What If...? Donald Duck Became Thor#1) - The Stone Ducks From Saturn came to Earth, arriving in Norway and wanting to make the planet one of their colonies and turn all of its current inhabitants into stone. Donald Duck found out about this after getting lost during a trip, watching the first arriving Stone Ducks announce their plans. He tried to escape and tell others, but after stepping on a branch and being noticed, he ran off into a cave.

The Air Force escapes from a fake dragon    The Stone Ducks called in their whole army, which arrived quickly, after which the Air Force arrived to counterattack. However, the Kronans quickly got rid of them by using their Psycho-Technologic ray to make the earthlings think a dragon was coming directly at them.

    As they were starting to take their plans into action, Donald Duck returned, having obtained the mystic hammer Mjolnir and using the powers of Thor. Donald quickly showed that his hammer could easily harm them and he also demonstrated his own newfound super strength.

    The Kronans decided to bring out their giant robot, the World Destroyer, which was quickly destroyed when Donald used his weather-changing abilities to make it rain, and the robot became completely rusty as Donald's opponents had forgotten to use an anti-rust product.

    After seeing Donald's power, the Stone Ducks decided to abandon Earth, worrying that all other earthlings could have similar powers. The Stone Ducks and their entire fleet quickly abandoned Earth, with the news about the “unknown hero” quickly reaching Donald's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, who refused to believe that Donald was the unknown hero who had prevented the alien invasion.



   

Comments: Created by Steve Behling, Riccardo Secchi, and Lorenzo Pastrovicchio.

    The Stone Ducks are obviously adaptations of the Kronans-616 (alias the Stone Men From Saturn), so I decided to assume both have the same species name and come from one of Saturn's moons (as that is the reason they were called Stone Men From Saturn in 616).

    It is unclear whether the Donald Duck empowered with Thor's abilities in this story is the same as the character in Marvel and Disney: What If...? Mickey and Friends Became the Avengers#1. That story also has a Donald-Thor, but he is a Ducksgardian, as opposed to be a person who gained the power of Thor. However, this seems pretty similar to the relationship between Donald Blake and Thor-616.
    But, regardless, these realities will remained undesignated until something in-story better clarifies the matter.

    Yeah, over at the Marvel Database we have taken the approach to consider this story and What if... Donald Duck Became Iron Man as part of the "Main Disney Earth" lumping it with Scrooge McDuck Earth's Mightiest Duck, and Scrooge McDuck and the Infinity Dime plus the Uncensored Mouse.

    There is an editor's note saying that to discover how they sweat you need to read the Galactic Encyclopedia Chapter Three, though I'm pretty sure that note is a joke...

CLARIFICATIONS:
The Stone Ducks From Saturn are based on


World Destroyer

    The World Destroyer was a robot used by the Stone Ducks From Saturn to battle, but they forgot to give it its anti-rust product before going to Earth.

     During their battle with Donald Duck, the Stone Ducks released it but Donald accidentally made it rain and the robot immediately became completely rusty and getting completely destroyed.
