Biography[]
Howard the Duck[]
The Dark Overlord of the Universe was a powerful alien and a member of an ancient race of worlds dominators. Confined in an alternate dimension, the Dark Overlord seeks revenge and waits for the occasion of his dominion to come back.
When Dr. Walter Jenning tries to send Howard T. Duck back on his planet, something goes wrong and the Overlord's brought to Earth, where he takes possesses Jenning's body. Then he reveals himself in a diner, just a moment before destroying it and kidnapping Beverly Switzler for having her as a host for another member of his race.
After taking possession of a truck, the Overlord comes back to the lab, but Howard, with Phil Blumburtt's help, hits him with an experimental neutron disintegrator. The Dark Overlord looks like it's destroyed, but in reality, he's just been expelled from Jenning's body, thus gaining his original form. After a hard battle, Howard manages to hit him again with the disintegrator, killing him, and destroys the dimension machine preventing the other Dark Overlords to come to Earth. The loss of the dimension machine resulted in Howard's being unable to return to Duckworld.
