History:
(Howard the Duck I#6 (fb) - BTS) - The regional sales manager for Rubbercorp International, Joe Mountbatten attended the American Ball Manufacturers Association convention in Dayton, Ohio, where he successfully closed a million dollar deal.

(Howard the Duck I#6) - While traveling through the Pennsylvania mountains on his way back home from the American Ball Manufacturers Association convention, Joe Mountbatten was distracted with thoughts of his triumphant sales deal that he nearly hit the hitchhiking Howard the Duck and Beverly Switzler in the road. Taken aback by Beverly's beauty, Joe nonetheless was appalled at the "hideous" and "monstrous" Howard and in his terror, he lost control of the car's steering wheel, almost running over the two hitchhikers, who ducked out of the way of Joe's car. Despite the near-accident, Joe continued driving on his way. Howard immediately yelled at Joe, accusing him of intentionally trying to kill them, but Beverly informed Howard that Joe could no longer hear him and suggested Howard squawk about something original.

    Joe Mountbatten was never seen outside of his car so his height and weight were impossible to approximate.
