Answer
Hi John -

A)  In 1955 DC Comics introduced a dog from the planet Krypton, who became Superman's pet Krypto.  Superman also had a 'super horse' named Comet!

B)  Sure enough, moments after Krypto was introduced Batman quickly got a pet of his own named Ace the Bat-Hound.

C)  Hulk - I don't recall Hulk ever having any type of permanent pet but he may have had companions for one or two issues.

D)  Wolverine - Not to my knowledge.

E)  Flash - Not that I'm aware of, the character has been around a long time so anything is possible but I don't know of any.

F)  Captain America - Not as far as I'm aware.

G)  Green Lantern - in the 1970s (when GL was partnered with Green Arrow) he briefly had a small, flower like alien he named Itty that would ride around on his shoulder. Itty was a member of the Ayries species and debuted sometime in 1975.

H)  Spiderman - I'm not aware of one.

Given the inherent capabilities of Green Lantern's Power Ring, he should be able to defeat the Hulk.

Spiderman vs. Cap is a tough one and no matter how I answer I'll get in trouble!  My guess is Spiderman but that's only a guess.

Yes, if Supes is strong enough to resist the gravitational pull of a sun, he could easily tear Cap's shield in half.

I think Worf would be more likely to have a pet (maybe a Klingon Targ) than Odo, who can barely relate to humanoids!

Superman is more likely to subject himself to a trial by an inferior race, I think all Hulk would do would be to get mad.

Thanks!
