Introduction
Marvel Dog Names In Pop Culture
Lockjaw's first appearance in any of Marvel's comic books was all the way back in December of 1965, the 45th issue of The Fantastic Four comic book series no less. Since then, Lockjaw has made appearances alongside other Marvel juggernauts such as the X Men and the Avengers. Lockjaw is a typically friendly dog whose superpowers and enhanced physiology won't keep him from pouncing on a friend or family member and giving them the licking session of a life time.
The Inhumans are actually an off-shoot of the human race who were genetically modified by an extraterrestrial race called the Kree (the race of aliens Ronan the Accuser from the film The Guardians of The Galaxy is from). Black Bolt is the leader of the Inhumans and he has the ability to create world shattering waves of power with a whisper. As a result, Black Bolt has taken a vow of silence and typically relies on other means to fight crime. The other members of the Inhumans royal family include Medusa, whose hair is super strong and can be used as a weapon, Crystal, who can manipulate the elements, Karnak, who can essentially see into the future, Gorgon, the hooved, super strong member of the family, and Triton, the amphibious athlete of the team.
Marvel Dog Name Considerations
Many of the names of certain Marvel Characters are also very unique and will give dog owning Marvel fans plenty of alternative names to consider, as opposed to more traditional names. Naming your dog after a Marvel character could also serve the express purpose of letting others know how much you value your Geekdom; it's not everyday you meet a person who names their dog after a green, Jekyll-and-Hyde type raging monster or a patriotic super soldier, after all. For those individuals willing to take a step outside of the box in order to find a suitable name for their beloved pets, Marvel Comics has a massive array of memorable characters who'll give you something to think about.
