Lobo the Duck is a fictional character and Amalgam Comics superhero who starred in a one-off comic book of the same name. He is a combination of DC Comics' Lobo and Marvel Comics' Howard the Duck.
[edit] Plot
The story evolves around bounty hunter Lobo the Duck, who is investigating the murders of several Amalgam Comics superheroes, including:
Lobo only agrees to find the murderer(s) as the aforementioned heroes had paid him up-front, and soon begins the investigation. Lobo fights his way through Gold Kidney Lady, Doctor Bongface and various other supervillains before he realizes that the end of the world is about to begin, and only he can stop it. (The fate of Lobo the Duck was not revealed, as Lobo the Duck #2 was cancelled before story drafting could be completed).
Throughout the story, Lobo is accompanied by his pet, Impossible Dawg (an amalgam of Impossible Man from Marvel Comics and Mad Dawg from DC Comics), who constantly changes into characters from the Marvel and DC universes in varying shots, including:
- Superman
- Galactus
- The Flash
- The Thing
- Kyle Rayner
- Garko the Man-Frog (A one-off Howard the Duck foe)
- Dr. Doom
- Wonder Woman
[edit] Trivia
- It was decided that Lobo the Duck had taken place outside of Amalgam Comics continuity in order to please fans who were otherwise upset with the deaths of the major heroes at the beginning of the book.
- When Lobo is speaking to Jonas Turnip, some graffiti on the wall reads Daphy Was Here. This is a reference to Looney Tunes character Daffy Duck.
- Despite being a satirical website, Uncyclopedia stated correctly that Lobo the Duck (according to many comic-book surveys, though Uncyclopedia doesn't mention this) is perhaps the oddest comic-book character ever created.
