Superior Duck is a 1996 Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones.
Title
The short named after Daffy's (semi) heroic alter-ego, which in turn is a play on "Super-Man"
Plot
Daffy is a superhero named "Superior Duck" who tries to do good, but can't get started due to an unprofessional Narrator messing up his intro. There are cameo appearances by Foghorn Leghorn, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, Tasmanian Devil, Tweety, Marvin the Martian, and Porky Pig. After dealing with the unreliable narrator for a good amount of time, Daffy eventually gets fed up with him and fires him, deciding that he will resort to saving the human race, but Superman intervenes and tells him to "bug off". Daffy takes a literal approach to the suggestion by changing in a phone booth and becoming "Superior Bug".
