Krypto the Superdog is a TERRIFYING concept.

The dog has all of Superman’s powers. A Dog.

So, for starters, Krypto cannot be neutered. That means that every female dog on Earth would be under constant threat of death by Krypto the Superdog’s insatiable libido. Yes. Death. Think about the thousands of exploded female dogs, found in homes all around the world. Every week. Thousands. Flying, laser-vision, Super strong, super-fast, and with the libido of an average male dog. THOUSANDS.

Next, the dog is repeatedly mentioned as being a mean, ill tempered little shit that only listens to Superman. It chased Supergirl around the fortress of solitude once. It’s a mean, super-strong, horny, flying, laser-beam eye shooting dog.

OK, PoorSimon.Tumblr.com, lets talk about this.

What makes Superman an amazing character is that he has the power to do anything, and yet he chooses to be Superman. He can throw Planets, but he is gentle and kind enough to have a long term physical relationship with Lois Lane. It’s not his powers that make Superman great. It’s the fact that he controls his powers so completely and constantly. THAT is the “Super” thing about him: his constant self control and awareness of the fragility of the life that is around him on his adopted home.

Self Control is why Superman amazing.

Now, have you personally ever had a dog as a pet? Not like, your parents had one when you were a kid, I mean YOU have a dog that you raised and trained from puppyhood? Dogs don’t have self control. Dogs are not self-aware, making self control an impossibility for a dog. Domesticated dogs behave according to predetermined systems of reward and punishment. You train a dog to obey your wishes. And, if you do it well enough, the Dog will obey even when you are not present. It’s not about self control to the dog. It’s about learned behavior based on a system of obedience.

Krypto is a kryptonian dog. He behaves like a dog. The problem is that the only people capable of controlling a Kryptonian Dog on Earth are Kryptonian People.

Superman does not always have Krypto with him. In fact, he rarely has the dog with him. And no one else likes the dog, including Batman and Supergirl.

My take on the existence of Krypto might not be to your liking… but I am not wrong about any of this.
