Thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine and the upcoming Superman (2025), the world has officially fallen in love with Dogpool and Krypto. Besides being incredibly loyal, man’s best friends can also be incredibly heroic and protective. It seems that even superheroes like Deadpool, Batman and Superman find these remarkable dogs to be great companions in the fight against evil. Sometimes, these pups have extraordinary bravery that rivals their human partners. Nothing can really explain the powerful bond that the world’s most amazing dogs have with their real-life superheroes. Dogpool aside, here is a list of the coolest superhero costume-wearing, superpowered superhero dogs.

1. Krypto

There probably aren’t many people who don’t know that Krypto is Superman’s dog. Created by Otto Binder and Curt Swan, Krypto was the family dog in Jor-El’s household on Krypton and was used for a test flight of the rocket that eventually carried baby Kal-El to Earth. However, Krypto‘s rocket was blown off course, similar to Supergirl’s, and drifted into space until the rocket picked up the signal from Kal-El’s rocket that landed on Earth.

Growing up alongside Superboy and first appearing in Adventure Comics #210, he was raised in Smallville on the Kent Farm and has many of the same abilities as Superman. He has been a member of Team Superman, the Legion of Super-Pets, and the Space Canine Patrol Agents and was the first super-dog to grace the pages of comics in the DC Universe.

Krypto is definitely the greatest superhero dog of all time.

2. Ms. Lion

Ms. Lion

Despite the name, Ms. Lion is a male dog who belongs to Peter Parker’s Aunt May. Although he doesn’t have any life-saving superpowers (only natural energy and loads of enthusiasm), he became a founding member of the Pet Avengers.

3. Lucky

Lucky, who also went by the name Arrow or Pizza Dog, was renamed by Clint Barton at the end of Hawkeye #1 – Lucky. Lucky, who has appeared in over 30 comic books, is missing his left eye due to the trauma he sustained after rescuing Hawkeye.

4. Ace the Bat-Hound

Ace the Bat-Hound

First appearing in Batman #92 in June 1955, Ace is a German Shepherd dog who was originally owned by an engraver named John Wilker. He was found by Batman and Robin after his master was kidnapped by a gang of counterfeiters. On one particular outing, the dog raced after the Batmobile when it left the Batcave and, rather than return him, Batman and Robin took him along.

In DC League of Super-Pets, Ace was more of a pitbull and was voiced by Kevin Hart, and this time round, Bruce Wayne was Ace’s owner. Ace is definitely one of the coolest and greatest superhero dogs around.

5. Hyperdog

Hyperdog

Hyperdog is a super-intelligent, talking Doberman in a man-shaped robotic exoskeleton with astonishing science at his paw tips. Kemlo is a humorous and kind individual, hiding his feelings of inadequacy at being a dog in a human world.

6. Dynomutt, Dog Wonder

Dynomutt, Dog Wonder is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The show focused on a Batman-like superhero, the Blue Falcon and his assistant, a robot dog named Dynomutt. As with many other animated superheroes of the era, no origins for the characters were provided.

7. Cosmo

Cosmo (who many would have seen in Guardians of the Galaxy 3) was a former test animal of the Soviet Space Program. He was launched into Earth’s orbit as part of an experiment, but he drifted off into space at some point during the 1960s. Arriving in Knowhere and at some point being mutated, he eventually came to serve as the station’s security chief. This a great example of the underdog succeeding.

8. Lockjaw

greatest superhero dogs

Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Lockjaw is a massive bulldog-like dog with the ability to teleport. He is also the loyal pet of the Inhuman royal family. His origins are a mystery, and questions have been raised regarding whether or not he is a giant dog with superpowers or a mutated Inhuman who looks like a dog.

Have we missed any other cool superhero dogs?
