History TheDragon / ComicBooks

** ComicBook/{{Magneto}} has employed a number of Dragons over the years. The first was Toad, a SycophanticServant type who eventually succumbed to the temptation of TheDogBitesBack and betrayed Magneto. After a long stint of working alone and a failed attempt to reform, Mags acquired a new Dragon in the 1991 ''X-Men'' relaunch, Fabian Cortez. Unfortunately for him, Cortez was a DeceptiveDisciple and betrayed him so quickly it would have made Toad's head spin. Mags got the last laugh though, as after a stint of being believed dead he returned in ''ComicBook/FatalAttractionsMarvelComics'' with his strongest and most loyal Dragon, Exodus, who eventually drifted out of the Master of Magnetism's good graces. After an even longer period of working alone, ComicBook/{{Mystique}} found herself promoted to the role due to AdaptationDisplacement (she's been Magneto's Dragon in most adaptations, though she never even worked with him until recent years). As of 2018 Mystique is the only one of Mags's Dragons who is still in good standing with him.

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': The Joker had Harley Quinn as his dragon then years later Punchline took over as his new right-hand woman.

** In the limited Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/WonderWoman series ''Trinity'' (the three issue Matt Wagner one, not the ''ComicBook/Trinity2008'' maxiseries), Ubu is present, but the role of Ra's Dragon falls to Bizarro, and the mysterious Amazon [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/{{Artemis}} of Bana-Mighdall]]]]

* ''Franchise/GreenLantern'' villain Sinestro becomes the Anti-Monitor's Dragon in exchange for [[ThePsychoRangers an army]] to rival the Green Lantern Corps in ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar''. Sinestro, in turn, leads this army with the monstrous Arkillo as ''his'' Dragon.

* ComicBook/NormanOsborn of ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' fame has had several Dragons over the past few years. When he formed the Sinister Twelve, Venom served as his Dragon. When Osborn became head of the Thunderbolts, he brought Venom along for the ride, but would also use Bullseye as his Dragon for more subtle work. Finally, when he formed the ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', Venom and Bullseye stuck around, but Osborn now used the Sentry as his Dragon in most cases.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'': Lex Luthor has Mercy Graces as his secretary and right-hand. Metallo would also sometimes play this role.

* ''Franchise/XMen'':

** The villain ComicBook/RasAlGhul is usually accompanied by an extremely large thug named Ubu. Apparently this is a title, rather than a name; he tends to replace Ubus fairly frequently. Ubu was absent from ''Film/BatmanBegins'', but [[spoiler:Ken Watanabe's fake Ra's could be said to fulfill this function]]. Ras' daughter Talia also plays this role.
