Irredeemable Inspired Dog Names

Perhaps for the better, Irredeemable doesn't really feature any canine characters prominently - the closest we get to that is The Plutonian being called "Wolf-Boy" when he was a child. So to find this article's Featured Famous Irredeemable Dog, we had to reach deep into the past of comic book history in order find a dog that wouldn't feel out of place in The Plutonian's dark world - to find a dog that was Irredeemable in every sense of the word. What we found was a truly horrific beast with a tragic past, much like The Plutonian, by the name of Sirius. And just like with The Plutonian, Sirius' sad backstory nonetheless excuses his actions or justifies the vast number of lives that he's taken. At least in Sirius the Gamma Dog's case, one might be able to argue that he didn't have control over himself. Ultimately, we'll present the facts and let you decide whether or not you personally feel Sirius the Gamma dog is truly irredeemable. 

First off, Sirius' humble beginnings; as you may have guessed from his name, Sirius is a dog from the Marvel Universe that had a run-in with Dr. Bruce Banner. After examining the hound, Bruce was able to deduce that the dog had a rare disease that was slowly destroying his musculoskeletal system. In a rare, somewhat out of character moment, Bruce Banner decided to expose the dog to gamma radiation in an attempt to heal his injuries; this is despite the fact that exposure to gamma radiation was a catalyst for some of the biggest tragedies in Bruce's own life. 

Sirius' condition drastically improved but it wouldn't be long before the dog started exhibiting strange symptoms. Sure enough, when Sirius became extremely angry, he transformed into a massive beast with emerald green fur and razor-sharp fangs and teeth. Sirius the Gamma Dog was officially born. The first thing he did with his new found strength was to destroy the home of the Douglas family - the humans that had taken him in. Next, Sirius set his sights on the Douglas children, biting one of the kids on the arm and causing extensive damage. Things became so dire that the Patriarch of the Douglas family had to shoot Sirius for the good of all.

Just like The Plutonian, one can't help but feel for Sirius. However, it's also impossible to approve of the dog's actions when he cut loose, as the damage he caused was utterly life altering. In the end, the most irredeemable thing about the Plutonian's and Sirius' tales is the fact that things were ever allowed to spiral out of control so severely.
