Cosmic Odyssey Inspired Dog Names

In truth, the Warhounds of Apokolips should be thought of less as actual dogs and more like canine-shaped abominations. These metallic monsters have hides that consist of a metal harder than steel. They're also outfitted with fully functioning computer systems that are linked to their nervous systems. Not one for really giving peace a chance, Darkseid also had his Warhounds outfitted with highly advanced weapons systems; a single Warhound is typically outfitted with numerous ballistic, explosive, and thermal weapons that they can quickly access almost instantly. The Warhounds of Apokolips would give a normal human a run for their money, let alone a normal dog. But dogs that run with the Justice League could be considered normal by no feasible stretch of the imagination. 

Krypto the Superdog and Ace the Bathound are two of the first canine heroes we'd think to call if the Warhounds of Apokolips ever showed up on our front door. The Warhounds are deadly and numerous, but they lack the ability to really think for themselves and are little more than soulless, dog-shaped machines. Krypto and Ace, on the other hand, are bonafide heroes in their own rights - these dogs have helped their respective masters fight crime and are also notorious for handling business all on their own.

Indeed, in the DC Comics Universe, one shouldn't be surprised to see Krypto or Ace arriving at the scene of a crime and cleaning up! Krypto typically patrols Metropolis and will intervene when Superman or the Police have their hands full. Krypto also has a tendency to act as a liaison between other animals and people. Ace guards Gotham whenever Batman and the rest of the Batman family have their hands full. He's also a very proactive dog, often aiding the Gotham Police Force and their K-9 Units when a baddie needs to be sniffed out.
