Biography
Daffy Duck
Overview
Personality and attributes
In his debut, Daffy’s personality is notable to be considered crazy, screwball, and wacky. Later, his traits had expanded into a greedy, smart-alec, ill-tempered, spoil, wise-cracking, jealous, stupid.
During his time, he maintained a number of alter egos that included:
- Duck Dodgers : Duck Dodgers' search for the rare element Illudium Phosdex, "the shaving cream atom", the only remaining supply of which is on the mysterious "Planet X." Just after Dodgers has claimed Planet X in the name of the Earth, Marvin the Martian lands on the same planet and claims it in the name of Mars. The stage is set for a battle of wits, not to mention various forms of weaponry, most of which tend to backfire hilariously on Dodgers.
- Superior Duck :
- Green Loontern : a parody of the Green Lantern.
- Drake Darkstar :

Notes
- Daffy Duck was created by Tex Avery and Bob Clampett where he featured in the Looney Tunes universe.
- Bob Clampett recalled, "At that time, audiences weren't accustomed to seeing a cartoon character do these things. And so, when it hit the theaters it was an explosion. People would leave the theaters talking about this daffy duck."

Television
- In Babylon 5, Daffy Duck was referenced in the setting of the live-action television series. Michael Garibaldi mentioned Daffy Duck as being his favorite cartoon character. He described Daffy Duck cartoons as his second favorite thing in the universe. When G'Kar questioned Zack Allan about a Daffy Duck poster in Garibaldi's quarters, Zack told him it was an Egyptian god of frustration.
- In Family Guy, after holding an exploding bomb from Adam West, Meg has Daffy Duck's bill on the wrong side of her head, moves it to its proper position, and then states, “Of course, you realize this means war!” This scene was supposedly deleted after a contract dispute between MacFarlane and Warner Bros.
- In Loonatics Unleashed, a character named Danger Duck appeared in the setting of the action-comedy animated television series where he was voiced by actor Jason Marsden.
