7. Howard the Duck Alias: Master of Quak Fu / Feathered Fury

htd12

This is one of the few Marvel characters looked upon by many as a mistake that Marvel creators should be ashamed of — Why? Introduced in 1973’s ‘Adventure into Fear’ (No. 19), Howard Duck didn’t have any superpowers or anything substantial to be even considered as a Marvel character, other than the fact he was a talking duck. Seems familiar, doesn’t it? Hello, Donald.

Howard the Duck quipped rarely humorous one-liners while engaging the human race that often surrounded him. Further, the Feathered Fury was once shown as trying to occupy the White House and being booed away because of its strange appearance! For some inexplicable reason, the character did influence a 1986 movie called ‘Howard the Duck’ and the movie met the same destiny and failed miserably at the Box Office.
