Howard the Duck (1986)

Howard the Duck does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot and character arcs are entirely devoid of content related to queer identity, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.

The film features Beverly Switzler as the main female character. While she is present during action sequences and moments of peril, she does not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents. Her role is not that of a combatant.

The film adapts characters such as Howard the Duck and Beverly Switzler from Marvel Comics, maintaining their established genders. No characters originally established as one gender in the source material are portrayed as a different gender in the film.

The film's main character, Howard, is an anthropomorphic duck, not a human race. The human characters either match their established comic book race or are original to the film, with no instances of a character's race being changed from source material.
