Krypto the Superdog
Created by Otto Binder and Curt Swan, Krypto’s first appearance was in the pages of Adventure Comics # 210 (March, 1955). Good Krypto was Kal-El’s dog, and he was sent to earth in an experimental rocket, which arrived years after Kal-El reached earth.
Like Superman, Krypto develops certain abilities similar to those of the Man of Steel, thanks to the radiation with the yellow sun, in addition to having normal canine intelligence and understanding of speech, capable of making decisions such as saving Metropolis.
Ace the hound
The main inspiration for this character comes from Ace the Bat-Hound, Batman and Robin’s mascot that originally appeared in Batman # 92, devised by Bill Finger and artist Sheldon Moldoff.
Ace was the dog of an engraving artist named John Wilker, who was kidnapped by a gang of counterfeiters. Bruce Wayne looked for Ace’s owner, but Wayne had to improvise a mask in the form of a hood for the dog and incorporated the bat emblem hanging from the collar on Ace’s neck, to prevent Ace from discovering the alias of Batman.
Chip the squirrel
Chip is inspired by Ch’p, the squirrel who is a member of the Green Lantern corporation, and his debut was in Green Lantern Corps # 203, when he was part of the resistance that defended his home planet, H’lven, from a invasion of Doctor Ub’x’s Crab army.
One of the Guardians of the Universe rescued Ch’p and gave him one of the corporation’s rings to defeat the crab, earning him a place in the Green Lantern corporation.
PB the miniprill
While there is no connection between Wonder Woman and PB that is remembered in the comics, this union would have been inspired by the episode This Little Piggy from the first season of the animated series Justice League Unlimited.
In this chapter Batman and Wonder Woman follow the trail of Intergang, which leads them to Cirse, the enemy of Hippolyta, Wonder Woman’s mother, whom this sorceress turns into a pig, for which Batman asks for Zatanna’s help.
Merton the turtle
The fastest turtle on the planet has its origins in Funny Stuff # 1 (1944) when Martin Naydet introduced Merton McSnurtle, the first talking animal in DC Comics history.
The Terrific Whatzit, which is his alias and superhero, received superpowers from the princes highness and lowliness, to discover that he would make an honest entity with these gifts, Merton before was an honest but lazy merchant who lived in Zooville.
