Surprising MCU Hero Achieves Ultimate Expression of Superman’s Abilities

While many superheroes strive to attain the legendary status of Superman, remarkably, one member of the Guardians of the Galaxy has managed to surpass him in an extraordinary way – and it’s not even a close match. Among the cast of beloved characters in the Guardians, one stands out as the epitome of cuteness: Cosmo. In the Marvel Comics universe, Cosmo has been a significant figure for years, beginning his journey as the head of security on Knowhere. Voiced by Maria Valcheva Bakalova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this telepathic canine is stealing hearts.

The Guardians of the Galaxy may have a solid legacy in the mainstream 616 universe, but they have recently undergone a fascinating transformation in the new Ultimate Universe. This was unveiled in The Ultimates #8, crafted by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri. The story reveals that America Chavez, once a member of the Guardians in the distant 61st century, was tracked down for a daring rescue mission, aided by none other than Cosmo’s remarkable sense of smell.

Dogs are known for their unparalleled sense of smell, but Cosmo elevates this ability to a whole new level. In a stunning revelation, it’s noted that the Guardians were able to locate America because “Cosmo finally caught your scent 5000 years from now!” This ability transcends what even Superman, with his legendary super-senses, could achieve. Though the Kryptonian can detect stimuli all over Earth, he cannot perceive scents spanning across millennia.

In the 61st century, Cosmo has evolved into the last remaining dog, acquiring traits akin to a cosmic deity.

Cosmo Is Capable Of Smelling Through Time

Cosmo has always been a character full of surprises. Despite his unassuming appearance, he possesses extraordinary telepathic abilities. With remarkable telekinetic finesse, he has demonstrated the power to obscure both his presence and that of his allies from those nearby. Beyond mind control and thought reading, he can create telepathic illusions, induce amnesia, and erect barriers to guard against both physical and mental threats. While managing peace on Knowhere, Cosmo proved his worth by neutralizing any disturbances that arose.

The reimagined Ultimate version of Cosmo is particularly captivating, blending his established telepathic prowess with enhanced abilities that emerge from his unique canine nature. It is noted that by the 61st century, Cosmo is the last of his kind, as all other dogs have transcended to a higher state of existence. This variant positions Cosmo as a ‘god dog,’ with senses and capabilities that may eclipse even those of Superman and his canine companion, Krypto.

And The Ultimate Good Boy

In the vast realm of Marvel, numerous formidable psychics exist, yet few can possess the potential to track individuals across time through mere scent. The Ultimate rendition of the Guardians of the Galaxy showcases powers that seem to overshadow their 616 counterparts, and among them, Cosmo potentially reigns supreme. He possesses the remarkable ability to read thoughts, share memories, reconfigure mental pathways, and trace the scent of someone through thousands of years.

Fans eagerly anticipate the return of this new version of the Guardians of the Galaxy, along with their beloved canine companion. The roster of Marvel characters capable of outshining Superman is remarkably brief, and few can boast such endearing qualities.
