Editing Krypto (section)

===The modern Krypto===

====Pocket universe Krypto====
Following the ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' continuity reboot, Superman's history is extensively rewritten, initially eliminating Krypto and all other survivors of Krypton. The [[Time Trapper]] creates a pocket universe that replicates pre-''Crisis'' continuity and has a version of Krypto.<ref name="supervs">{{Cite comic|Writer = Byrne, John|Penciller = Byrne, John||Inker = Byrne, John; Williams, Keith|Story = Superman vs. Superboy Past Imperfect|Title = Action Comics|Issue = #591|Date = August 1987}}</ref> While battling three [[Phantom Zone]] criminals, Krypto sacrifices his powers by giving Superboy gold [[kryptonite]] to depower them.

====Krypto and Bibbo====
The second modern Krypto is a small white pet dog, rescued, and later named by [[Bibbo Bibbowski]]. Originally, Bibbo wanted to name the dog "Krypton" after Superman's home planet. However, the engraver of the dog tag intentionally drops the letter "n" to extort more money from Bibbo; an angry Bibbo refuses to comply and renames the dog "Krypto." Soon after, the dog finds two young children who were trapped in a bomb shelter for a month following Superman's fight with [[Doomsday (DC Comics)|Doomsday]]. The children are badly malnourished and dehydrated, but it is learned that they survive and recover. This gives Superman the idea to explain Clark Kent's long absence by staging a faked rescue from a similar predicament.

Krypto is later acquired by the modern Superboy; however, this version of Krypto is an ordinary Earth dog with no superpowers. The dog and Kon-El do not get along. For a time, Krypto's friends are agent [[Rex Leech]], [[Dubbilex]], and reporter Tana Moon. Krypto becomes involved in many of Superboy's adventures. The dog is eventually dropped from the series, remaining in Hawaii when Superboy returns to Project Cadmus. Superboy's friends believe him to be missing and Krypto is left in the care of Hillary, a young neighbor that he likes.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Kesel, Barbara|penciller= Jeanty, Georges|inker= Hazlewood, Doug; Stanisci, John|story= Searching ...|title= Superboy|volume= 3|issue= #49|date= March 1998}}</ref> After ''Superboy'' #69 of that series, the dog goes to live at Cadmus.  Along with a creature called Grokk the Living Gargoyle and a DNAlien named Angry Charlie, Krypto starts an uprising against the Agenda, an evil consortium which is influencing Cadmus at the time. After battling the DNAlien the Gene-gnome, Krypto is never seen again; his last appearance is in ''Superboy'' #74.<ref>{{cite comic| writer= Kesel, Karl| penciller= Grummett, Tom| inker= Champagne, Keith|story= Game, Set & Match!|title= Superboy|volume= 3| issue= #74|date= May 2000}}</ref>
