And with the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special now streaming on Disney Plus, Cosmo has made her debut as a fully-fledged Guardians supporting character.&n🍃bsp;

With our real-world history l꧒esson accounted for, what's the comic book history of Cosmo, the psychic dog who has often hung aro𒈔und with the Guardians of the Galaxy?

G𝔉et ready with your treats and🐽 tummy scritches as we explore the comic book backstory of Cosmo, Marvel Comics' cosmic canine.

Who is Cosmo the Spacedog?

Cosmo the Spacedog is a literal space dog!

Just ♔like in the real world, the Marvel Universe experienced a decades-long Cold War between the🐻 United States and USSR, with the so-called 'space race' of the '60s marking the conflict's zenith. And just like in the real 'space race,' the USSR experimented with sending dogs into orbit (though Cosmo didn't appear in comics till 2007's ).

In the Marvel Universe, one of those dogs, aptly named Cosmo, wound up floating into space and being bombarded by Cosmic Rays - just like the ones that empowered the Fantastic Four, whose own ♌comic book origins lie in the mythos of the space race. 

The๊ Cosmic Rays increased Cosmo's intellect and empowered him with psychic abilities. As a result, Cosmo became an interstellar traveler, eventually making his way to the cosmic locale known as Knowhere, a community inside the head of a dead Celestial.

Knowhere is, of course, the same lꦫocation seen in the first Guardians of😼 the Galaxy film, where Cosmo has a cameo as part of the Collector's Menagerie.

In comics, Cosmo eventually becomes the head of security for Knowhere, and it's in that capacity that he meets the cosmic superhero Nova (reportedly the subject of his own upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios film or streaming series) while he was on the🐷 run from a necromantic villain named Abyss, beginning Cosmo's association with Marvel's cosmic heroe🐬s.

Cosmo in the Marvel Universe

Cosmo thꩵen became embroiled in the conflict of , in which the evil AI Ul🍌tron conquered the techno-organic alien race known as the Phalanx and attempted to use their cybernetic plague to overtake the entire Marvel Universe.

As a result of Annihilation: Conquest, a new Guardians of the Galaxy came together consisting of Adam Warlock, Peter Quill, Gജamora, Drax, Rocket, 💧and Groot - in other words, the incarnation that was mostly adapted to the MCU. 

Cosmo, while not technically an official ಞmember of the team, wound up becoming a close ally to the Guardians, who made their headquarters in Knowhere, where Cosmo was still operating as chief of security.

Then, during the story ',' the Guardians were forced to team up with Thanos to defeat an evil version of Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, from an alternate realityꦕ. 'The Thanos Imperative' concluded with the disbanding of t🐼he Guardians and the apparent death of Peter Quill (who eventually got better) - but before his death, Quill tasked Cosmo with forming a new incarnation of the team.

Cosmo went on to found the , a new cosmic team consisting of Silver Surfer, Gladiator of the Shi'ar, Quasar, Ronan the Accuser, 🌌and Thor's ally Beta Ray Bill.

The Annihilators were short-lived, and Cosmo found himself back at Knowhere, where he was poisoned by the villain Captain Skaarn, who attempted to conquer the station for 💎himself.

Cosmo was saved by 🌺Nova, repaying Cosmo having saved Nova's life when they first met. And that was the last tim🍬e Cosmo showed up in comics.

Cosmo in the MCU

Cosmo had a cameo appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy as part of the Collector's menagerie, but the now streaming Disney Plus Holiday Special and Guardians of the Galaxy V🎃ol. 3 will put Cosmo in more of a spotlight (replete with telekinetic powers), and she'll have a full character presence in next year's Vol. 3, voiced by Maria Bakalova of Borat 2 fame. 

Speaking of which, when Guardians Vol. 3 rolls around, there's a good chance she'll have some connection to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:High Evolutionary. His comic book experiments often involve creating animal-human hybrid𓆏s, or experimenting on evolving ani𒁃mals.

Director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn has stated that Guardians Vol. 3 will be the end of this form of the team in the MCU -𓆉 which mean🎶s there's a chance Cosmo could wind up forming a new team like the Annihilators in the wake of the film.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is now streaming on Disney Plus. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hits shelves May 5,💧 2023.
