Aquaman Rebirth Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

Back in 2016, DC Comics relaunched all of their ongoing comic franchises under the Rebirth banner in an effort undo many of the complications that arose from their New 52 venture; whereas the New 52 line of comics were meant to serve as a way for newcomers to get into comic books, the Rebirth line of comics was created to appeal to both long time fans of DC Comics and people who were getting into them for the first time. The Aquaman Rebirth line of comics was a part of DC's initiative, as many Aquaman Rebirth stories were created with the purposed of taking Arthur Curry back to his roots and focusing on the aspects of his character that truly made him heroic.

Aquadog

While Aquadog is definitely more obscure of a character than the likes of Krypto the Superdog or even Ace the Bathound, we honestly weren't all that surprised when we learned that the King of Atlantis also has a canine companion who bears his name. But Aquadog is actually very different than either Ace or Krypto in a lot of ways; first and foremost, Aquadog doesn't typically accompany Aquaman on his adventures or anything like that. Secondly, Aquadog doesn't have any supernatural abilities that would allow him to endure the immense amounts of pressure that one can encounter at the bottom of the ocean. Lastly, Aquadog was found by Arthur and Queen Mera and the two decided to adopt him (as opposed to Krypto being the El's family dog back on Krypton and Ace being a dog that the Wayne family cared for as well, in most depictions.)

While Aquadog's exact breed has never directly been stated, most fans have assumed that the dog is a Golden Retriever due to the hue of his coat and his overall resemblance to the world famous breed. Aquadog has certainly exhibited many of the traits that are associated with Golden Retrievers; Aquadog has a great sense of smell, is very friendly and outgoing, has tons of spunk and energy, and is fiercely loyal to his family friends - so much so that Aquadog has thrown himself into the fray a few times in order to help Aquaman or Mera during a time of need.

Arthur and his fiancee first encountered Aquadog during a time where they had to deal with a race of horrific sea creatures known as the Trench. The Trench were kidnapping people and animals, encasing them in cocoons, and then later feeding on them at a time of the Trench's choosing. Arthur and Mera find met Aquadog while he was encased in one of these cocoons. After freeing the dog, he helped Aquaman and Mera rescue a number of people who were trapped by putting his sense of smell to good use.

Once Aquaman and Mera defeated the Trench and successfully rescued everyone imprisoned by them, the super couple is visited by a deputy shortly thereafter who informs them that the dog who helped them on this mission is actually named Salty and is actually a stray without a proper place to call home. Arthur and Mera decide to adopt the dog and the deputy jokingly suggests they name the pup Aquadog, hence the name of our Spotlight dog for this article.

Aquaman Rebirth Inspired Dog Name Considerations

The Aquaman Rebirth series contains many of the characters that Aquaman and DC Comics fans have come to know and love over the years. Arthur Curry naturally stars as the leading character of this line while Queen Mera returns as Arthur's fiancée. Characters like Arthur's villainous half-brother Orm (better known to the world at large as the Ocean Master), as well as the enigmatic Black Manta, are also prominent characters in the Aquaman Rebirth comics, much to the delight of long time fans and newcomers alike. With the James Wan directed Aquaman movie on the horizon, the Aquaman Rebirth comics can potentially serve as an excellent way for people to brush up on the character's history, supporting cast, and villains long before the film hits theaters in December of 2018.

If you'd like to win brownie points with fans of Aquaman and DC Comic books, we feel that you should give your dog a name based on an Aquaman Rebirth character. And if you're already a dyed in the wool Aquaman fan, then you likely won't need very much convincing; the Aquaman Rebirth line has done a pretty good job staying faithful to roots of Aquaman as a character, so naming your dog after him, one of his familiar friends or enemies, or even after some of the new characters who've appeared in Aquaman Rebirth can be a great way to show DC that you appreciate how they've treated the characters.
