He can ride a horse and a bull and has been decorated by the French Foreign Legion.

Over the 46 issues of his series he had many truly wild adventures including fighting numerous dinosaurs, befriending aliens, and repeatedly journeying to a subatomic universe. After serving in WWII and Korea, he was taken home by an army major and proceeded to split his time between crimefighting and working as a Hollywood stunt dog, obviously. Yes, that’s right-three years before Krypto’s debut, there was a super dog with his own book! Rex is basically a canine Captain America-he was part of the Army’s K-9 Corps, where he performed so well that he was given a DC variation on super soldier serum, giving him enhanced strength, speed, and intelligence. Krypto has a very distinguished resume, with membership in both the Legion of Super-Pets and the Space Canine Patrol Agents, his own animated show in 2005, and recurring live action appearances on DC Universe’s Titans.įun Fact: His father’s name was Zypto, his grandfather’s name was Nypto, and his great-grandfather’s name was Vypto, because the Silver Age never met any concept it didn’t want to beat into the ground.įirst Appearance: Rex the Wonder Dog #1 (January/February 1952) Designed to create those “a boy and his dog” warm fuzzies, he’s most strongly associated with Superboys, belonging predominantly first to a young Clark Kent, then Clark’s teenage clone Kon-El/Conner Kent, then Clark’s son Jon, though most recently he’s been adventuring through space with Supergirl. Krypto’s origins have changed many times over the decades-basically, every time Superman gets revamped, his dog does too-but his most frequently used (and simplest) backstory is that he was the El family dog back on Krypton, sent to Earth in a rocket before baby Kal-El because apparently Jor-El was the kind of man who saw no issue with shooting the family pet into space.
