Wonder Dog is a canine superhero from the original Super Friends series. The character appeared in both the animated series, as well as the comic book of the same name, but wasn't incorporated into the DC Universe until 2008.
Super Friends
In the Super Friends animated series, Wonder Dog is portrayed as the pet/sidekick of Wendy and Marvin. This version of Wonder Dog also appeared in the Super Friends comics as well. He appears in all 16 episodes of the original television series, and in the first six issues of the Super Friends comic book
The New Adventures of the Wonder Twins
Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog appear in one episode of the Adult Swim series "The New Adventures of the Wonder Twins." They appear in the episode "Be Kind, Rewind." In that episode, they are seen in a video store that the Wonder Twins are hanging out in. Wendy and Wonder Dog's appearance is quite brief, but Marvin has a fairly significant role in the episode. Apparently he put on a little weight since the Super Friends series, and grew a beard. Marvin tells the Wonder Twins that he has no hard feelings about them getting them fired from the Super Friends, because now he and his band are signed to a major label. (this of course contradicts the comics which tells the story of how the Wonder Twins and Gleek replaced Marvin, Wendy and Wonder Dog)
Teen Titans comics
Wonder Dog makes his first appearance in the mainstream DC Universe in Teen Titans #63. In this issue, he is just a stray dog that finds his way to Titans Tower, and the Titans start to call him Wonder Dog, since that's what Miss Martian began calling him. But eventually Wonder Dog transforms into some kind of gigantic dog beast and he kills Marvin and viciously attacks Wendy. Apparently Wonder Dog is being used by a villain called King Lycus, whose motives are not yet clear.
