Warning: Spoilers forward for Fantastic Four #11 (2023)!
If you consider it, extra heroes ought to have canine sidekicks. Dogs are loyal and can by no means betray you to develop into a supervillain. In reality, if Jason Todd had been a canine, then I doubt followers would have voted to kill him in that notorious 1987 phone ballot.
Fantastic Four #11 (written by Ryan North and penciled by Iban Coello) introduces a brand new canine to the Marvel Universe, which is simply tremendous by me, since you may by no means have sufficient furry friends. The canine doesn’t have a reputation, so for the needs of this text, I’ll be referring to her as Pupverse.
Pupverse wanders onto the Fantastic Four’s Arizona farmstead, the place she refuses to go away Ben Grimm’s aspect. The grumpy hero is initially proof against the canine’s charms, doing all of the “daddy doesn’t want to keep the dog” cliches. “I’m not a dog person,” Ben angrily protests. Thing even places up a ‘no dogs allowed’ register entrance of the home. This gained’t work as a result of as soon as Pupverse chooses her finest good friend, there isn’t any turning again. Oh, and since dogs can’t learn.
Resisting the charms of a loving canine is more durable than battling Doctor Doom, so it isn’t lengthy earlier than Ben Grimm offers in. The villainous Miracle Man traps Ben Grimm inside an phantasm, however Pupverse saves the day. Thanks to her eager sense of scent, Thing is in a position to determine what’s actual and what isn’t. Following Pupverse’s instincts, Ben Grimm breaks by means of the phantasm and knocks out Mister Miracle. Hooray! This is why extra heroes want doggos.
Ben decides to maintain the canine, and the remainder of the Fantastic Four spend a while debating pet names. “If you ask me, I think she’ll let us know what her name is soon enough,” Ben says.
Hooray, Pupverse is sticking round (and doubtless getting an actual title quickly)! I hope she will get a cute Fantastic Four uniform. Is there a spot open on the Pet Avengers? Maybe she will also have a doggie playdate with D-Dog.
