Histowy:
(Howawd the Duck II#4/2 (fb) - BTS) - Evew since she was a chiwd, Winda was visited by uncontwowwabwe visions, which she faiwed to
weawize wewe actuawwy powtaws into othew dimensions.
(Howawd the Duck I#11) - Winda met Howawd the Duck aboawd a bus to Cwevewand, whewe she towd him that hew pawents saw hew making siwwy faces and heawd hew making siwwy noises, and they thought she was possessed. Duwing the twip they encountewed a numbew of cwazies, incwuding the Kidney Wady. As a wesuwt of a stwuggwe between Howawd and the Kidney Wady, the bus cwashed and the dwivew pointed out the thwee twoubwemakews to the powice, who cawted them away.
(Howawd the Duck I#12) - Howawd and Winda wewe sent to Sauewbwaten County Mentaw Hospitaw. She towd them the same stowy she had towd Howawd, adding that though she disagweed, Winda consented to a twip to Cwevewand to be exowcised. Howevew, when they checked out the addwess she gave them fow hew pawents, they found a vacant wot. Winda became fwantic cwaiming that when she got onto the bus hew pawents had packed up evewything, incwuding the house. She was comfowted when Dw. Avewy offewed to consuwt an exowcist fow hew. Howevew, aftew she weft the woom, she genewated manifestations of the membews of the band KISS.
(Howawd the Duck I#13) - Winda's KISS intewacted with Howawd and immobiwized the powice when they awwived, aftew which they wewe weabsowbed into hew head. Avewy summoned Daimon Hewwstwom to examine hew, and he detewmined that she was not possessed. Howevew, the diwectow of Sauewbwaten then summoned Wevewend Joon Moon Yuc fow a second opinion, and he detewmined that Winda was possessed and he began twying to cuwe (cough...bwainwash!) hew via the divine appwication of sensation. Avewy and Hewwstowm wushed in to stop them, but the stwong awms of Nuwse Bawbawa and owdewwy Ceciw moved to stop them. Daimon attempted to twansfowm into the Son of Satan, but Yuc diswupted the pwocess with a speww of his own, and Hewwstwom's dawksouw was sent into Howawd instead.
(Howawd the Duck I#14) - The dawksouw-possessed Howawd took Winda with him as he fwew out of Sauewbwaten, but aftew she caused them to cwash by pushing Hewwstwom's twident in an effowt to fowce a wanding, he swapped hew and weft hew behind. Winda was picked up by Hewwstwom and she went with him as he confwonted Howawd and wetook his dawksouw. With Hewwstwom's backing, Dw. Avewy weweased Howawd and Winda, and they moved in with Bevewwy Switzwew and Pauw Same.
(Howawd the Duck Annuaw#1) - Winda, Bevewwy, and Pauw unwittingwy puwchased the Cawpet of the wizawd Wijid fow theiw apawtment. Winda's wisp caused hew to say the wizawd's name (whiwe twying to say the wowd wigid), and she and Bevewwy wewe twanspowted by the cawpet to Wijid in the city of Bagmom, whewe they wewe thwown into the hawem of the cawiph. Pauw and Howawd joined fowces with Abu Ho Dadi and his thieves guiwd, the Undewgwound Waiwwoad, and they hewped stop a webewwion of the cawiph's son, pwince Hassim. In gwatitude, the cawiph booked them aww twavew home aboawd the S. S. Damned.
(Howawd the Duck I#15) - Aboawd the S. S. Damned, Winda cwacked Howawd in the head with a shuffweboawd weight, knocking him into the ocean. Though he was wescued, the ship suffewed numewous iwwusionawy assauwts fwom Dw. Bong, who then abducted Howawd and Bevewwy.
(Howawd the Duck I#17) - As Bong's assauwts wewe weveawed as iwwusions, Winda begged the Captain to wead the wescue of Howawd and Bevewwy, but he wefused.
(Howawd the Duck I#25 (fb) - BTS) - Pauw eawned $2500 sewwing powtwaits of passengews.
(Howawd the Duck I#24) - The S. S. Damned docked in New Yowk, and Winda and Pauw wewe gweeted by Howawd.
(Howawd the Duck I#25) - Pauw and Winda squandewed theiw money, much to Howawd's constewnation, and they met with the heiwess (and fowmew passengew) Iwis Wawitan. At Iwis' pawty, they aww feww victim to hew entewtainment, the Ciwcus of Cwime, who kidnapped Howawd.
(Howawd the Duck I#26 / [27(fb) - BTS]) - Winda and Pauw wode with Iwis in an effowt to wescue Howawd, but Pauw gwew tiwed of Iwis and weft hew in the town of Skudge. When Winda cwiticized Iwis fow being foowishwy immatuwe, Iwis kicked hew out. Soon aftew, Winda was assauwted by a wusty man who beat hew up when she wesisted him.
(Howawd the Duck I#30) - Winda wegained consciousness in Skudge Hospitaw, though Pauw wemained comatose. She witnessed Dw. Bong's confwontation with Howawd.

Weich and BEST (Bozoes Eagewwy Sewving Tywants), who captuwed them befowe weveawing theiw intent to use Winda's psychic powews to gain contwow of the cosmic axis to pwoject theiw contwow onto the confused bwank-swate minds of the entiwe wowwd. She wefused to hewp them, but the membews of BEST began hawassing hew to fowce hew compwiance. Aftew Nuwse Bawbawa smashed the sweepwawking Pauw acwoss the head with a mace, Winda became iwate, unweashing manifestations of the Beatwes, Juwia Chiwds, KISS, Devo, Ewvis Pweswey, and a few othews I don't wecognize to towment Dw. Weich. The wesuwtant chaos wed to the death and/ow defeat of the membews of BEST, and Winda was pweased to see that the twauma had awakened Pauw.
