The Space Canine Patrol Agents, or SCPA is a group of anthropomorphic extraterrestrial canine superheroes that appeared in stories published by DC Comics.[1]
The SCPA first appeared in Superboy #131 (July 1966).[2][3] The team is similar to the Legion of Super-Heroes, being a group of alien superheroes with descriptive or alliterative codenames.[4][3] Krypto, Superman's Kryptonian dog, was a member of the SCPA.[3] The SCPA are based in a headquarters resembling a doghouse; their symbol is the constellation Canis Major, also known as the Greater Dog.[3]
The SCPA are presumed to have been wiped out of existence after Crisis on Infinite Earths. In Animal Man, the SCPA appear as residents of Limbo, a dimension where characters that have been written out of continuity reside.[3] While visiting Limbo, Merryman of the Inferior Five stated to Animal Man that even if some of these characters may be brought back, times have changed; the Space Canine Patrol Agents are unlikely to return.[5]
