Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Created in the nineties by young Mexican author Eggar Delgado, Ultraduck is a superhero comic miniseries about the first Flying Brick in an all-animal setting. The series is about Carlos, a young man whose his life isn't going anywhere, can't get his crush Lisa to notice him, and has to grow up in order to get himself together. His life, however, changes when he gains a gauntlet from outer space that turns him into a super hero, but he also has to face someone with equal power in Horace Rooson.The series was originally a short 4 issue miniseries drawn and written by Edgar Delgado in the nineties, where the story became a Cult Classic. From that miniseries, came a spin off called "The Valiants", a group of superheroes inspired by Ultraduck.Edgar then went to become an official colorist at Marvel Comics, and in 2011, decided to remake his comic book series, though this time the comic would be drawn by artist Omar Lozano.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The series is a homage to good old fashioned superhero stories like Spider-Man, especially during the time the original series was published. The original comic book series is considered something of an Old Shame for the author due to being inexperienced when he wrote it, with its remake showing how far his talent has grown. Likewise, from the remake also came a remake of "The Valiants", with occasional cameos from Ultraduck himself.The series is published by Arcana comics, and can also be acquired in Comixology. | |

| Ultraduck / Comicbook / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: The remake adds new characters to the setting. Carlos' best friend, Louie, who didn't exist in the original version, was created so Carlos had someone to talk to instead of giving an Info Dump in thought bubbles. Tropes Are Not Bad. Carina Chirpeen, Horace's ex-girlfriend, doesn't exist in the original version either. She was created to be a Morality Pet to his ex-boyfriend Ax-Crazy super villain alternate self, and to be Lisa's friend. Tropes Are Not Bad either, as Carlos and Horace's stories are more connected this way. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Ultraduck / Comicbook / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: In the remake, Horace's first appearance was as a bulky Ax-Crazy super villain, following his original incarnation characterization of being Drunk with Power. His later appearance, however, presents him as more stoic and collected character, while still hammy to an extent, thanks in part to his Morality Pet. | |

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames | |
| Ultraduck / Comicbook / int_643879c7 | comment |
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: In the original comic book series, the name of Horace's supervillain alias was "Ultra Gallo". This wasn't adapted in the english remake because Ultra Gallo in english can be read as "Ultra Cock". | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Ultraduck / Comicbook / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: At first glance, Horace's personality as a Drunk with Power supervillain with a victim complex appears to mirror his original incarnation, however, his real self is later shown to be quite stoic, something his original self wasn't. (When he was captured by The Clash, he was as arrogant without his powers as with them). | |

Kamehame Hadoken: In the original comic book series, Ultraduck manages to defeat Ultra Gallo by blowing a beam wave into him. The author was a fan of Dragon Ball Z back in the day. | |

Classical Anti-Hero | |
| Ultraduck / Comicbook / int_a713e674 | comment |
Classical Antihero: Carlos is presented as sort of a flawed hero. Yes, he is a good person at heart, but part of the reason he became Ultraduck was so that his crush would notice him more. Louie calls him on this. | |
