New Quack City served as one of the numerous domains on Battleworld. It was populated almost entirely by anthropomorphic animals.[1]

History

New Quack City was stage of an incident between the vampire-slayer Blade and two anthropomorphic ducks: Drákula and Howard the Duck. Enraged by the injustices perpetrated on his fellow ducks, Howard engaged in a fight against Blade in the Duck District. The fight ended after Howard realized that his fellow duck was in fact a vampire and teamed up with Blade to take him down, but he was killed by a vampire-slayer duck.[2]

Upon being approached by the criminal Adrian Toomes, to who he was owing money, in Connors' Pub, Howard, a private investigator and the only human being in the entire domain, started to tell them the tale of what had happened to him earlier that day.

Howard had been hired by the Cat Lady to find the informant inside her organization, but someone was able to find him before Howard and killed him. As Felicia gave him twelve hours to find the assassin or otherwise she would kill him, Howard sought the help of Mouse Murdock. Murdock figured out that the informant was playing possum on order from Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, who wanted to take Felicia, his main rival, down. As he didn't want anyone messing up with his plan, Fisk ordered his monkey ninjas to kill them. Howard was knocked out, but Murdock managed to defeat them all alone. After regaining consciousness, Howard was given a paper with the information he needed to end the case by Murdock, who told him he himself would deal with Fisk afterwards.

With the police arriving, Howard, who was running out of time on the Cat Lady's deadline, took his car and fled from them, going to Connors' Pub afterwards. Back in the present, Cat Lady entered the bar with her men to kill him for not completing his mission when the K-9 police officers arrived, arresting both Felicia and Toomes, as well as their gangs. With the informant showing up as Howard called him out, Felicia asked Howard why he had done that if he could had turned the informant over to her and walked away with a lot of money instead. He replied that Toomes would take his money if he had done it, so he decided to turn the informant over to the police, take the reward offered for finding him and allow him to testify against her.[1]
