12 Things You Learn Rewatching Avengers: Endgame

12. Howard The Duck

When Hulk snapped his fingers and brought back to life everyone that had been killed by Thanos five years earlier, he essentially guaranteed as full a team as possible to fight against the Mad Titan.

Thanks to Doctor Strange and Wong, everyone was transported to the now destroyed Avengers HQ at just the right time. The Guardians, Spider-Man, Wanda, Bucky, T'Challa, an entire Wakandan army, the Ravagers, Valkyrie, Hope, and so many more were brought back, including one 'hero' that fans absolutely wouldn't have expected.

When Doctor Strange asked Wong if that was everybody, this included Howard the Duck. The character had appeared in the post-credit scene of Guardians of the Galaxy, and was partying with the Ravagers in Volume 2, but quite how he got on Doctor Strange's radar, and why the Sorcerer Supreme thought he was needed for the battle are a mystery.

It is a blink and you'll miss it appearance, but Howard can be seen entering the battlefield just behind Wasp if you know where to look. Even then the pause button is usually required. None of his interaction in the battle was shown after this, but it's hard to imagine him taking down too many Chitauri Leviathans or Outriders.
