Known Powers
Normal specimen of Duckworld, in that he has the body of a duck, but has arms and hands as opposed to wings, and is thus incapable of flight without artificial means, but is capable of advanced thought, reason and speech.

Possesses normal avian strength, speed and agility for a duck of his age and build who engages in exercise only when necessary.  Limited knowledge of the fighting style known as Quack Fu, which is surprisingly formidable in hand-to-hand combat.

Origin
Born on Duckworld, a parallel Earth where waterfowl evolved into the dominate sentient life form, Howard was drawn to Earth through a Nexus of All Realities in the Florida Everglades by a shift in the interdimensional Cosmic Axis caused by the magic of Thog the Nether-Spawn.

Howard has been unable to return to his home dimension and due to being a talking duck this has lead him to be an unwilling participant in events on Earth dealing with the super-human community.  It has been predicted he has a major role in the destiny of the multiverse, but fate is yet to write the final chapter for Howard the Duck.
