Duck wasn't really that awesome to me. I feel sorry how Zil and stuff treated him though D:

I think that duck is a heroe but its really sad that he died for nothing and got bullied most of the time by Zil. GGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Duck is a completly awesome character. Still, he like, dies for no reason. I don't like how he was bullied by Zil but yet I like the Human Crew.

the human crew are evil. they are the cause of death for so many people! and hunter... but yeah, duck was pretty cool as well. though his power must of been so frustrating at the start!

It would have been. It would be anmoying to start off with any power cause you wouldn't know how to control it.

Yeah, he's a hero to Perdido I guess. I just feel sad for him cuz I feel like he died for nothing. :[

I didn't like Duck, he was too whiny and egoistic, thinking he himself was the whole world. WHO CARES THAT THEY DESTROYED YOUR POOL. GO FEED A TODDLER OR SOMETHING, MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL!

huh? not many people seem to like Duck. well, i liked him. and he really manned up and basicly sacrificed himself to save sam, caine ect. he had sunk through the ground, seen heaps of things that were thought to be impossible, nearly drowned, then had no one to share that with cause everyone thought he was crazy! plus he helped, well, attempted to help anyway, Hunter. even though hunter had teased him in the past. and it was pretty cool how he kept talking to himself when he was in that cave underground.

I agree I think people forget he's only a kid really and it took a lot of guts to do what he did. The only thing that annoyed me was that he seemed to take ages to figure out that he had powers. I know its often easier to work things out from a readers perspective but you would have thought that with all the mutants around it would have been obvious that sinking into the ground was some sort of power? I guess i'm just impatient but I kept reading his POVs thinking 'Duck you have powers! Now do something with them!'

^yeah that was pretty frustrating! and it took him ages to figure out he could not only sink, but he could float as well. you would've thought he'd have thought back over those days he was in the pool and he seemed to fall back onto the float thing when he awoke from a good dream. but oh well. he was a hero and i really liked him anyway

He died for the town and I think it takes courage to do that. That's one reason why i like Duck. He also has an unusual name.

i love it when Caine keeps calling him goose. cause duck duck goose. get it? hahahaaa no.

Yeah, no. Duck is just plain awesome alongside several others but this is a topic about Duck! Not those other characters who aren't as important in tnis forum.

Personally I didn't find him to be awesome at all, whenever I came across the parts of the book which were his perspective I started to get bored. Yeah I know he sacrificed his life to save Lana and the other more important characters in the book series but, to me he was another unimportant character that was created just so that he could be disposed of.

Also, the whole hero thing wasn't really his style, he got bullied and he was scared of people. He also took so long to figure out his powers, which makes me think he was kinda slow... And then suddenly he's all hero-ish, saving town all spontaneusly(?) ? No. That's like. Not very logic. Idk, I just didnt like him.
