Howard the Duck (Earth-11584)

History
"'Personally, I would have let the lady have a day off once and a while. Maybe bought her a nice begonia or something? Leave them unappreciated to long and blam...blow up the universe time.'"Howard was an anthropomorphic sentient duck who was a central exhibit in the Collector's museum on Knowhere. It is unknown exactly where Taneleer Tivan obtained the fowl specimen, but speculation is that Howard may have hailed from an alternative realm known as "Duckworld." If that is the case, it is likely then that Howard is not a normal denizen of the Earth-11584 universe, and merely remains here either because of lack of ability to get home, or because of convenience's sake.

Howard was seen in the ruins of the Collector's museum, giving Tivan advice on women (apparently misunderstanding the relationship between Tivan and his assistant Carina, which resulted in the destruction of said museum.) At last check he was still in this same museum and a part of Tivan's collection, ostensibly still offering advice to anyone who would listen.

Powers & Abilities

 * Quack Fu: Legend has it that Howard is a black belt in a martial art known as Quack Fu. The full extent of this martial art is unknown, as it has never been seen in practice.
 * Flight: As a duck, it is possible that Howard possesses a natural ability of flight, but this again has never been shown.

Weaknesses
Howard has never been seen without a cocktail in his hand, leading to speculation that he might have a drinking problem.
