Wolf is a wolf that was freed from the control of the Brain and Monsieur Mallah by Superboy; after the mission was completed, he was taken home with Superboy and the rest of the Team.[3] He sometimes accompanies the Team on missions.[4]

Physical appearance[]

Wolf is a large white wolf native to northern India. He was enhanced with Kobra-Venom by the Brain that made him stronger to the point that he could go toe-to-toe with Superboy. Like most Kobra-Venom subjects he has areas of muscle exposed by torn skin, but they are limited to the insides of his legs.[3]

History[]

Early life[]

Wolf was originally a normal wolf and pack alpha in northern India. Some time prior to September 23, 2010, he and his pack were kidnapped by the Brain's gorilla servant Monsieur Mallah and taken back to their lab. Once there, he was injected with Kobra-Venom and given a power inhibitor collar to keep him under control.[3]

Wolf and other enhanced animals participated in a coordinated attack on the Team. Wolf and his pack targeted Superboy. Once freed of his inhibitor collar, he participated in the assault on the Brain's compound. After the fight, Superboy adopted him as a pet. Kid Flash suggested the name "Krypto", but Superboy stuck with the generic "Wolf".[3]

Wolf was there when Grodd, Solovar, Primat and Boka ended their telepathic conference with Miss Martian and returned her to the physical world; a Gorilla City hut. Later, Wolf pretended to be Grodd's unconscious prisoner and was brought to the Brain and Ultra-Humanite. After the Team had freed themselves, Wolf stood ready to attack. When the fight began, Wolf attacked the Shadow guards. After the Brain activated the base's self-destruct, Wolf evacuated to the gorilla's safe haven with the rest of the Team and their allies.[6]

Superboy took Wolf and Blue Beetle along on his personal mission to stop Intergang. They found Bruno Mannheim and Whisper A'Daire outside the Hall of Justice, but he had company: a golem, created from Appellaxian husks merged by an Apokoliptan device. Superboy and Wolf attacked, but the golem beat them back, and all damage they inflicted was quickly healed. Blue Beetle tried to use sonic on it, but the crystal elements of the Golem bounced them back, knocking out Superboy and Wolf.

They boarded the Super-Cycle, and chased the creature, who had flown off to the forests.[17]

Wolf helped pin it down after Superboy brought it to the ground, but it broke free. Blue Beetle took over, and via his scarab communicated with it. Wolf stayed on the sidelines, and watched how the golem was destroyed by a mysterious beam that came from the forest.[17]
