Gotta love people suddenly becoming apolitical when someone is doing something they approve of.

Should be a breeze. It took me like forty-five minutes to write the Howard one plus two other characters I decided not to do.
Went ahead and rescinded the "they have to be current or former Avengers" rule because, well, Howard the Duck is too damn good not to include.


Whoops. Didn't read the rules too thoroughly. My bad.

Ohmygod, I'm just supposed to be giving the location of the scene! I am so sorry! This is my first post writing these things, so I apologize!


Howard waddled down the New York sidewalk with his prospective client. The occasional onlooker threw a strange look his way. Even in this world of superheroes and mutants, a talking duck was a bit of an oddity to these people. Howard was used to it. He lived here among these hairless ape folks for years now. They weren't far removed from the caves of their ancestors, but there was the occasional good one. Ming Hou seemed to be one of those good ones.

"It might be tricky, Mr. Hou, but I think I can help you recover your wife's stolen necklace," Howard said to the tall, lanky Asian man who walked by his side. "But I don't come cheap."

"I have no money, Mr. The Duck."

"... Okay. I'll come cheap."

Hou's eyes lit up and he hugged Howard hard and tight around the shoulders. Howard tried to fight against Hou's grasp, but gave up.

"Why do you smell like buttered bread?"

"It's my cologne," Howard said, shrugging out of Hou's hug. "Poppy Seed Roll by Calvin Klein. It drives the hens wild, or so I've been told."

Hou arched an eyebrow at Howard. "Okay... thank you again for taking my case, Mr. The Duck."

"Please, Mr. The Duck was my father. Call me Howard, and thank you for seeking me out. I have so few clients, and I'm glad that you made the right decision to choose me because I stand for professionalism, dedication, and--"

"Heroes for Hire cost too much," Hou said. "Everyone says to find the duck, he works dirt cheap. Peanuts. He works for peanuts."

"Waugh!" said Howard. "You do one lousy job for the circus and everyone can't stop talking about it. Humans, what a bunch of cheapskates. I'll find your stolen necklace, Mr. Hou, and... I'll be taking all my coffee breaks on the clock! That's right, buster, that'll teach you!"

Howard stalked away, more of a fast waddle given his webbed feet, away from his new client and disappeared into the busy New York foot traffic in a huff.
I want you all to know how fucking close I am to picking Howard the Duck.
Only if you volunteer to become an orphan. For method acting purposes.

It’s like Andy has collected some kind of RP-Finity Gauntlet. My word.


I call dibs on the time gem. You know, for history reasons.
Poooooooooooooooooooost!
I'm in for this. Haven't decided whether I'll be applying for Spider-Man or Thor, but that'll come down to who applies for who.


Now that's a name I haven't read in a long time. Long time.
