Young Avengers Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

The Young Avengers are a group of superheroes from the Mainline Marvel Universe who all have some sort of tie or bond with a member of the world famous Avengers team. Patriot (aka Elijah Bradley, whose grandfather was a part of another government sanctioned Super Soldier Project,) Kate Bishop (who took up the name "Hawkeye" after her role model and mentor), and Hulkling (who was once thought to be related to the Hulk due to the physical similarities between the two of them,) are all members of the Young Avengers and all exemplify the "ties that bind" theme of their series. Selecting a dog name from this roster of awesome characters will be an easy challenge!

Lucky

Lucky has become something akin to an "official unofficial" mascot of the Young Avengers team. While you won't see Lucky listed as the team's mascot on any of Marvel's official wiki pages, most fans think of the dog as a mascot due to how often he shows up in the Young Avengers comics as well as his personal ties to the team. We're eager to share a bit of info about Lucky, but before we go too far ahead, we'd like to address a few issues that tend to arise whenever one talks about comic book characters and their stories.

Comic book storylines and continuity are two things that essentially are always subject to change; there are a number of characters who share the same aliases and, depending on when you're reading a particular piece of material, certain information may seem outright false. Indeed, it was only a few years ago that Jane Foster had taken up the mantle of Thor and that Captain America had been revealed to be a Hydra sleeper agent. So in an attempt to address any continuity issues you may come across, should the writers drastically overhaul the Young Avengers or anything like that, we'll say this; Lucky currently is the pet dog of Kate Bishop, who is currently fighting crime under the name Hawkeye and who is currently a member of the Young Avengers team, as of this writing.

Now with all that out of the way, let's get into the nitty gritty of Lucky's basic stats; Lucky is an average dog with no apparent powers or abilities that aren't afforded to other members of his species. While we weren't able to find anything that officially states it, we believe that Lucky is a Golden Retriever due to the color of his coat and the shape of his head and ears. Lucky, unfortunately, only has one eye as a result of risking his life to save Hawkeye's (Clint Barton that is, not Kate.)

The story goes that Clint was facing off against the "Tracksuit Mafia" when the gang was about to make a move on Hawkeye's life. Seeing that the hero was in trouble, and remembering a time in the past where Clint showed kindness to the dog, Lucky lept to Clint's defense. Lucky's intervention helped Clint apprehend the criminals in the end, but only after the poor dog was beaten to the point of needing medical intervention. Clint was able to get Lucky the care he needed, and he was able to make a full recovery, but the dog lost his left eye in the process.

Impressed by the dog's bravery, Clint adopted the pup and called him Arrow for a time. After mentoring Kate, Clint decided to let his protege care for the dog. It was then that Arrow was given his current name and became a supporting member of the Young Avengers.

Young Avengers Inspired Dog Name Considerations

One of the reasons you should definitely consider naming your dog after a Young Avengers character would be if you consider yourself a massive Marvel fan. If you love the comics, movies, TV shows, and games that Marvel has created, you should definitely think about naming your dog after a Young Avengers character because each of the members is a living homage to Marvel's s legacy in some form or another. We've already talked about how Patriot and Kate Bishop both have close ties to well established members of the Avengers, but characters like America Chavez and Stature hearken back to older Marvel characters like Miss America and Ant-Man respectively.

At its best, the Young Avengers are all about referencing how enduring the legacy of Marvel comics and numerous characters they've created will be in the long run. There have been a number of missteps in the Young Avengers comics (no comic line is without its fair share of hits and misses after all,) but when the series is focusing on the things that connect different people and how the actions of the few can inspire many, that's when the series truly shines.

Aside from all of that, you should consider naming your dog after a Young Avengers character because they actually have dog as their mascot - something even the original Avengers haven't had the chance to do, as of this writing.
