A few weeks ago, my daughters were watching Spidey and His Amazing Friends (a great cheesy way to introduce kids to classic superheroes). I’m minding my own business and sn adorable and unfamiliar character appeared: Jeff the Shark. I had to look up the character and see if there was a comic book basis for the cute land fish. The resemblance to Gible is uncanny so immediately went into Pokemon Go and nicknamed my Garchomp “Jeff”. Naturally that led me to more Marvel-inspired nicknames—lots of them based off heroic pets. So here are some of my first favorites:
 |
| Trevenant as Groot |
 |
| Ariados as Man-Spider |
 |
| Golduck as Howard |
 |
| Obstagoon as Rocket |
 |
| (Shiny) Growlithe as Lucky |
 |
| Gallade as Dr. Strange |
 |
| Tyrunt as Old Lace |
 |
| Granbull as Lockjaw |
 |
| Gible as Jeff |
 |
| Rhyperior as Rhino |
