Super-powered pets have been a part of comic books for as long as we can remember, and it makes sense. People to like animals. So why wouldn’t readers want to see them paired with their favorite heroes? Earlier this year, Super Pets went from the page to the big screen with DC league of super pets. Now is the perfect time to take a look at Marvel and DC’s greatest four-legged heroes with a “Top 5” ranking.
5. Dog Pool
Dogpool comes from Earth-103173. Aptly named Wilson, Dogpool was created as he was experimented with by a cosmetics company trying to create a product that gives consumers eternal youth. It’s the Mutt with the mouth and it’s number five on our list!
4. Comet The Super Horse
Directly related to Superman and his family line, Comet The Super Horse is the title given to two different super powerful beings. Traditionally a centaur, the original Comet was a magical horse from ancient Greece. He may be the only horse on our list, but he earns his place in the number 4 spot.
3. Aigly
It’s impossible to talk about Super Pets without addressing Eagly. The winged hero’s popularity skyrocketed after his appearance on HBO Max Peacemaker. He is a loyal and loving partner who does not still knows exactly what he’s doing, but his bond with Peacemaker is unbreakable and there’s just something special about seeing a grown man hugging an eagle. And that’s why Eagly is perched on the third spot on our list.

2. Krypto the Superdog
He may not be as popular as his superpowered counterpart, Superman, but Krypto the Superdog has been around for quite some time. He first appeared in comics in 1955. In 2005 he led his own animated series, and earlier this year he was released in theaters, voiced by Dwayne Johnson (Black Adam), in the DCs League of Super Animals. It’s not a bad run for the Kryptonian Canine, and that’s why he remains strong in second place.
1. Lockjaw
Lockjaw is the loyal pet of the Inhumans, a superhuman race of heroes from Marvel Comics. He’s a massive bulldog with an antenna sticking out of his head and possesses the ability to teleport (tell me that’s not great). He’s a powerful protector and a valued member of the Inhuman family, which makes him our number one “good boy” and our top choice for super-powered pets.
What do you think of our list? Did we choose the “best boy” or did we forget your favorite four-legged hero?
