How Powerful Is Krypto Compared To Superman
The new trailer for 2025"s Superman debuts Krypto the Superdog who"s set to join David Corenswet"s new Man of Steel in the upcoming live-action DCU movie. As such, many may be wondering just how powerful Krypto is compared to Superman himself. After all, Kal-El"s four-legged friend does make a pretty powerful entrance in the new trailer.
In the new teaser trailer for Superman released by James Gunn and DC Studios, Krypto the Superdog is prominently featured as he"s shown helping a beaten-down Kal-El in the snow. First appearing in 1955"s Adventure Comics #210, Krypto has long been by Kal-El"s side on the page, having also been born on Krypton and surviving its eventual destruction. To that end, Krypto does have powers of his own that are comparable to the Man of Steel"s, and the same looks to be true in the DCU"s Superman as well. Here"s a quick breakdown of Krypto the Superdog and his abilities.
Krypto's Powers In DC Comics And James Gunn's Movie Explained All The Same Powers As Superman's Kal-El Close As a Kryptonian, Superman"s powers are derived from Earth"s yellow sun as opposed to the red sun Krypton once had. Seeing how the alien Krypto also comes from the same planet, the comics" Kryptonian canine possesses many of the exact same powers as the Man of Steel. This includes super-strength, super-speed, flight, heat vision, ice breath, super-senses, and essentially all the same abilities as his best friend Kal-El (and any other Kryptonians operating on Earth like Supergirl).
Some of these abilities have already been shown by the DCU"s Krypto. As seen in the new teaser trailer for Superman, a broken and bloody Kal-El whistles and Krypto comes running at super-speed, having heard his call from presumably miles away. Likewise, Krypto"s super-strength is also on display in the new trailer, as he"s shown pulling Superman home (most likely the Fortress of Solitude). However, it stands to reason that this new live-action Krypto can likely fly and also has all the other aforementioned powers of Superman.
How Krypto's Powers Compare To Superman's The Proportionate Kryptonian Strength To An Earth Dog![]()
Despite having all the same powers as Superman, it"s also important to remember that it"s all proportional to that of a normal Earth dog. Devoid of a yellow sun, Krypto is as strong as any other dog would be, just as Superman would be just as strong as any other human. As such, this also means that Krypto has more accurate senses of super smell, sight, and hearing compared to Superman, and the same goes for his speed on the ground.
