Trivia / The Super Dog from Krypton

• First Appearance: Of Krypto the Super-dog.
• Follow the Leader: Krypto's introduction kicked off the trend of super-heroic pets. Only three months later, The Batman books introduced Ace the Bat-Hound. Adventure Comics #229 (October, 1956) introduced Aquaman's pet octopus Topo barely one year later. Other heroes like Supergirl would also get her own pets (Streaky the Super-cat was introduced in "Supergirl's Super Pet" (December, 1959) and Comet the Super-Horse in "The Super-Steed of Steel" (1963)). Eventually, there were enough of them to form their own super-team, the Legion of Super-Pets.
