%%[[caption-width:300:some caption text]]
Once upon a time, a [[InterspeciesRomance gigantic rampaging dragon and a human woman fell in love]]. The product of their union was Duncan, a HalfHumanHybrid. Though they divorced, Duncan's parents share custody. He spends most of his time trying to fit in at school despite his obviously draconic features, and when with his dad he is tutored in the ways of becoming the next king of the world's {{Kaiju}}.
For real.
Fun fact: The character was originally supposed to be a member of the ComicBook/YoungAvengers in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and Duncan was to be the son of the alien dragon Fin Fang Foom, a foe of ComicBook/IronMan.
