Origin[]

Baby Huey's impatient mother downs a whole bottle of pre-natal vitamins, and gives birth to a giant baby duckling that she names Huey. He is rejected by the other ducklings due to his size and stupidity, but wins their respect by using his strength to defend them from a fox.

Powers and Abilities[]

Baby Huey demonstrated superhuman strength and was virtually indestructible, but was very naive and seemed to be a little dim-witted.

  • Huey was initially planned to appear in a deleted scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
