All of them get moments right here, as does an advisory who’s able to matching Superman’s power — imagined to be Ultraman, an alternate actuality or evil clone model of Superman.
However the first super-companion we get a glimpse of is definitely Krypto the Superdog, who helps a overwhelmed (and bleeding!?) Superman get “dwelling” (the Fortress of Solitude, little doubt) like a superb boy.
