NEW CHANGES FOR THE AVENGING HOUNDS

As the Avenging Hounds gathered to hold a party to celebrate the Marriage of The Hawk-Eyed Hound to the Mucky-Bird Dog, the Viz-Hound bust into the festivities with news that HE had now restored his body and He has also discovered signs of a cosmic threat to the Earth, and all known life.
THE NEW VIZ-HOUND MEANS BUSINESS

But before the Waspish Pooch, the Avenging Hounds Chairperson could question the Viz-hound on what he knew.... she and some of the other active Avenging Hounds are called away to investigate a strange structure that had appeared in Cent-Howl Park.

The Waspish Pooch along with Paw, Canine America, Canine Mutt-vell, The Hawk-eyed Hound, Iron Hound and the She-Hounded Hulk meet 3 members of the FUR-TASTIC FOUR and a large Group of the Mutt-ant Mutts call the the Un-Caninie  X-MUTTS and assorted Hero Hounds who operate in the local area of New Yorkie City .... all of which have been drawn to the strange structure in the Park.

As the host of Hero Hounds enter the structure to investigate, they all disappear.  No one left behind knows that has happened..... but the various Hero Hounds have been transported to BATTLE WORLD where they are made to partake in what will be known as THE SECRET WOOFIE WARS.   More about this at a later time.
7 AVENGING HOUNDS M I A !

BUT back to the story of the Avenging Hounds.

With The Waspish Pooch and other serving AV Hounds now missing, The VIZ-HOUND decided he should take the Chair persons position on the team for the time being.

The Missing AV hounds re appear a while later. To the World they and the other Hero Hounds have been missing  for only a number of WEEKS,  but for the Heroes that had been kidnapped it had been MONTHS that they have been forced to take part in The Secret Woofie Wars

All of the missing AV Hounds return to the AV Mansion, except for The She Hounded Hulk.  She has accepted a position as a member of THE FUR-TASTIC FOUR as a replacement for Bone Grimm aka The Hairy Thing , who has stayed behind on Battle World for personal reasons.

With the Waspish Pooch back at the helm of the AV Hounds, her 1st act is to resign her position as Chairperson and elect The Viz-Hound as her replacement as she can see he has done a great job in keeping things together whilst she has been away,

The Viz-Hound accepts, but requests that Janet stays on the team.  The Waspish Pooch accepts this request.

The Viz-Hound then announces that  his 1ST act as Chairperson of the AV HOUNDS is to set up a SECOND TEAM of AVENGING HOUNDS. This sister Group would be based on the West Coast of America..... and he wanted The Hawk-Eyed Hound to the Lead the new TEAM.

Clint Bark-ton aka The Hawk-eyed Hound accepts the roll. The Viz-Hound then tells the team why he  and they need a second team.

A race of shape shifting Aliens called the Dire-Woofs had invaded Earth and wanted to conquer it.  For many years this menace had been on the planet, but few knew of its existence.  The Alien Space Knight called ROM-TIN-TIN had followed them to Earth and had been disposing of them when ever possible.  (BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY)

ROM-TIN-TIN the Space Bite sorry KNIGHT

As The Hawk-eyed Hound and his new bride move to California to set up the new chapter of the Avenging Hounds, the East Coast team decided to start investigating the  threat of the Dire Woofs. The AV hounds hear of a possible lead that the Alien Menaces are trying to sabotage a space flight.

The AV hounds win the battle but are then informed by LICK FURRY that the Dire-Woofs are now to be investigated solely by his organisation called       H. E .E. L. E. D
  or     HOUND .  ESPIONAGE . EMERGENCY .    LAW .     ENFORCEMENT .    DOG-VISION
LICK FURRY, AGENT OF H.E.E.L.E.D.
The Viz-Hound is upset with this decision, but as H E E L E D have been appointed by the US Government, he and the other Avenging Hounds have to accept this.

In the coming weeks the Viz-Hound becomes more and more obsessed with safety of the planet Earth and starts making plans to make the planet in to an Utopia, ending all wars, violence and unrest. He plans to make Earth a paradise, with HIM in TOTAL CONTROL. 

Although he is basically a machine, he has become more over the years since he was created to destroy the AV Hounds by The Ult-Tail-On. However  he starts to realise that he is loosing the Canine characteristics that he has had to struggle hard to find.  His wife the Scarlet Bitch also has seen this, and has started to feel disconnected from him also.

As he is about to start the final  process that will ensure that he and only him has any control over the World and its Canine Population, he has a change of heart and realises that his programming has become corrupted  from his linking his mind to the Artificial Intelligence on Titan.

The Viz-Hound manages to destroy the link from Titan nearly destroying himself in the process.  The Avenging Hounds ask for explanations from the Viz-Hound, who explains that HE had been manipulating the team, and was planning to take over the world. Remaking it in his own idea of paradise, which he realises is wrong.  He resigns from the Avenging Hounds and travels along with the Scarlet Bitch  to Washington DC to explain his actions to the government.



AVENGING HOUNDS ASSEMBLE CIRCA 1985

She decides against disbanding the NEW West Coast team that has been formed by The Hawk-eyed Hound as she thinks this is a good idea. Originally the team was to have been under the control of the New Yorkie Based team, BUT Janet believes that the two teams can work side by side, and gives more control over to The Hawk-Eyed Hound and his new Team

Next Time I will give some back ground on the NEW WEST COAST AVENGING HOUNDS.

Until next time      ENJOY !

THE RETURN OF THE SCARLET BITCH & THE VIZ-HOUND

For the Avenging Hounds the next few years did not bring any new members into the team. Many of the former Avenging Hounds returned to spend time with the team when the need arose. These included the Bark Knight, The Bark Panter, The Bark Widow, The Hairy Beastie, Hair-collies and Wonder Mutt to name a few.

FORMER ACTIVE AVENGING HOUNDS

However a crisis in New York brought The Scarlet Bitch and her Husband The Viz Hound back into the fold, which started the ball rolling for a brand new chapter in the Avenging Hounds Universe.
THE RETURN OF THE SCARLET BITCH & THE VIZ-HOUND

A mystery Invisible barrier appeared in the middle of New Yorkie City, this barrier surrounded the BARKER BUILDING, the home of the FUR-TASTIC FOUR.   The Viz-hound and his Mutt-ant wife responded along with a lot of other heroes to investigate the strange force bubble.

The Viz-hound using his powers of molecular  control passed through the unseen barrier, but once inside his artificial body was shut down, and he fell inert to the ground.

THE VIZ-HOUND HAS GONE OFF LINE

Once the barrier was later destroyed with the help of Canine Mutt-vell,  the Avenging Hounds were able to reclaim the body of their fallen hero hound. However, not the combined knowledge and expertise of both the Avenging Hounds or the Fur-tastic Four could re activate The Viz-Hound.

The artifical robotic hounds body was taken to the Avenging Hounds mansion , so that further studies could be made. The Scarlet Bitch decided that whilst she waited for her husband to recover she could use her time productively  a full time Avenging Hound.

The Viz-hound did make a slow recovery, with the help of linking up his mind and circuits with the Avenging Hounds own computer system, and with the help of The Star Fox Terrier, the Viz-hound became linked to the Computerised entity that controlled the Tit-hound moon home of the Etern-howls

With his body still in a coma like state, the Viz-hound was only able to move and interact with his fellow hero hounds by the aid of a holographic representation of himself. This made life a little bit difficult for his wife Wanda, but The Viz-hound realised that now he was in touch with all corners of the globe and this meant that with his help the AVENGING HOUNDS could now be aware of all planet wide threats.

THE SCARLET BITCH & CANINE AMERICA COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE NEW HOLOGRAPHIC VIZ-HOUND

The Hawk-eyed Hound then returned to active status, the first time since he had broken his leg. Whilst he was off recovering he had had one or two adventures of his own, and when he returned to The Avenging Hounds Mansion he brought with him his new bride...... DOGGIE MORSEL an ex spy turned hero hound called The Mucky Bird Dog.

MR & MRS HAWK-EYED HOUND

The Mucky Bird Dog was given temporary honorary Avenging Hounds status as she was now the wife of a serving Avenging Hound. As the Avenging Hounds planned to give the happy couple a party to celebrate their marriage,  the Viz-Hound detected a world wide danger that could mean the extermination of all life on Earth.

What happened next would end in  splitting up  the team.

Find out why next time

HE CAME FROM OUTER SPACE.....

Hair-os was born from a race of Space Hounds called the ETERN-HOWLS.  He had been raised on the  Moon called Titan or Tit-hound to the locals,  that is in orbit around the Planet Saturn.  The Etern-Howls of Tit-hound spend their time in scientific study and in ways of furthering their knowledge of the Universe. These Saturn based Etern-howls were the cousins of the earth bound Etern-howls of old.

ARRIVING FROM IN NEW YORKIE CITY

However,  one of their race...  FANGOS, brother to Hair-os wanted more. Unlike the other Etern-howls who looked like the most perfect and beautiful beings in the Universe, FANGOS was born different and deformed. His fur and skin was dark as was his manner.  Unlike his fellow Etern-howls he did not want to better himself in a way he could help others.  He only wanted to better himself so he could destroy and conquer others.  As a result of his lust for power he attacked his own people killing many. One of which was his mother. Fangos is a complicated character who I will be looking at some time in the future.   BUT for now Back to the STAR- FOX TERRIER

DEAR BROTHER FANGOS

Hair-os had originally meet the avenging hounds many years before when he along with the original Canine MUTT-VELL  battled his brother Fangos.    Later when his friend Mutt-Vell died from Cancer on Tit-hound he promised his dying friend he would look after Mutt-vell's mate Healy-sius. However, Hair-os was a creature with a short attention span, and eventually he decided to seek out new life , and civilisations and in his quest for FUN ended up on Earth.


Not knowing much about earth culture he made a bee line to the home of The Avenging Hounds in New Yorkie City.

The Chairperson at the time, Janet Van Dog, the Waspish Pooch agreed that Hair-os could join the team, as an Avenging Hound in training...... and the first thing she did was give him the CODE NAME   THE STAR FOX TERRIER .  The Hawk eyed Hound was at this time nursing a broken leg, so the Waspish Pooch knew the team was in need of an extra pair of paws to help out.  the Hawk eyed Hound was not too pleased to be side lined, but had to accept Janet's decision as the chairperson.

Welcome to the Avenging Hounds Star Fox Terrier

The full story can be read in AVENGING HOUNDS issue 232, available in all good book stores.

THE NOW CLASSIC AVENGING HOUNDS # 232 FROM  JUNE 1983


This Foxy Character would stay with the AV hounds for many months, and would add value to the team,  he did not take the news well that his friends name was now being used by the NEW female Canine Mutt-vell, but over the weeks that followed he saw that she was an good person and a great person to continue the name of a great fallen hero hound.   As time went on he again started to look for more exciting things to do, and eventually left the team to pursue NEBULL - DOGA the Space Pirate who he believed was the Grand-daughter of his Evil Brother Fangos.

Another new member next time.

ALL CHANGE AT THE AVENGING HOUNDS MANSION (again)

The last few months had been a bit of a roller coaster for The Avenging Hounds.  Dr Hairy Pym founder member of the team, had been released from prison after it was proved he had been framed by one of his enemies.  However, now a free dawg, his life was a mess. His Marriage to Janet Van Dog, aka the Waspish pooch was over.  his career as a Hero Hound was also in tatters... he decided he needed to put his life as The Yellow Jack Russell behind him, and offered this suit and equipment to the Avenging Hound as he planned to spend the rest of his life doing what he was good at........... Scientific research and development.  

All the AV Hounds were upset by his decision, but respected it.  Hairy Pym needed to find his place in the world as himself...... he could no longer hide behind his costumed identities any more.  He was an Avenging Hound No More...... He was a Hero Hound No More...... He was a Husband No More.....  He was NOW  simply DR HAIRY PYM ..... SCIENTIST.

THE MANY FACES OF HAIRY PYM

The AV Hounds were shocked by a second blow when Iron Hound contacted the Avenging Hounds Mansion BY PHONE and also resigned from active membership.  Iron Hound said it was personal, and would not give any more details.  As current chairperson  The Waspish Pooch had to accept this resignation with a heavy heart.  She had lost her former Husband, and her recent Lover and Team Mate in the matter of minutes. 

What Janet did not know was the Iron Hound who had rung her was NOT her ex lover Boney Bark, But his replacement  Jaws Rhodes.  
JAWS RHODES..... THE NEW IRON HOUND

Jaws Rhodes had replaced Boney Bark as the Iron Hound after Boney had succumbed to his acholol addiction.  Boney was now unable to stand up. let alone put on the Gold and Red Armour.  Rhoney knew that he could fill in for Boney as IRON HOUND and the general public would be none the wiser, but  he realised that fooling the Avenging Hounds was another question.  So by resigning from the Av Hounds hopefully he could cover for Boney whilst he tried to get to grips with his drinking problem.

CHEERS !!!!!!

With their numbers again diminished to just  Thunder Dog PAW, CANINE AMERICA, The HAWK-EYED HOUND, THE SHE-HOUNDED HULK and herself The WASPISH POOCH,   Janet decided to declare that The New Canine Mutt-vell would now lose her title as AVENGING HOUND in Training and become a FULL Member of the team.

BUT before they could start another recruitment drive, The Hawk-eyed Hound suffered a broken leg on their next mission.....

The Avenging Hounds needed another member, BUT before Janet could start to find a new PERSON for the Team....... a strange DOG from another World arrived  and said he had come to Earth wanting to join their MERRY TEAM of MUTTS....... His name was HAIR-OS....But the Public would get to know him better as The STAR FOX TERRIER.

HE CAME FROM OUTER SPACE


More about this Foxy Mutt next time.

A NEW CANINE MUTT-VELL IS BORN

Monica Ram-bone was a lieutenant serving in the New Howl-leans harbour patrol  when an accident caused her body to be bombarded with energies from a prototype machine that had been stolen by evil doers.

The result she  found she could transform at will into pure energy. Not just one form of energy, but 100's of different forms of energy from Cosmic Rays to X rays, Radio Waves to Micro Waves, Invisible  light to radiation. She could become what ever type of energy she wants..... as long as she had come into contact with it, she can become it,


THE ALL NEW CANINE MUTT-VELL

This ability allowed her to use  this energy as force blasts,  and to fly at light speed if she so desired.   In the beginning she had trouble becoming solid when she used her powers, but with practise she was able to generate HARD LIGHT forms so that she could interact easier with others.

She was dubbed Canine Mutt-vell by the press when they reported on her many heroic deeds.  However in the beginning she found it hard to control her powers, and was worried that some of her energy forms could be of danger to others...... ie Radiation and X Rays.
MONICA IN ONE OF HER MANY ENERGY FORMS

Wanting to become a better Hero Hound she asked for help from the Avenging Hounds who allowed her to join their group as a member in training.

The Group welcomed Monica, but a few disapproved of her adopting the title of the Late Great Canine Mutt-vell from the planet K9-REE  who had fought alongside the Av Hounds many times over the years.
THE ORIGINAL CANINE MUTT-VELL FROM THE PLANET K9-REE

However her devotion to duty and the manner she conducted herself  made her a very popular member of the team.   And slowly all the team accepted that she was a worthy holder of the Canine Mutt-vell title. She would go onto Lead the Avenging Hounds in later years. This leadership was not always a happy one, as at the time elements in the team tried to undermine her at every turn.

BUT after a battle with a sea monster, who JUST HAPPENED to be the wife of  Prince Namutt the Sub Mutt-rina, the new Canine Mutt-vell would become badly injured and would lose her powers.  Having to step down from her roll as leader of the Avenging Hounds, Monica spent many months trying to recover.

She would again take up the mantle as Canine Mutt-vell but her powers would only be a fraction of what they had been.

When she met GNAW-NIS the Son of the original Canine Mutt-vell she gracefully gave the name to him, as she believed he was  the real successor of the mantle of CANINE  MUTT-VELL

Monica would go on to adopt the name  PHUR-TON  and then later  PUP-SAR


These days although she still holds a position as a Reservist Av Hound, she spends most of her time as leader of her own group of hero hounds call THE REX-WAVE



CIRCA 1982.....CANINE MUTT-VELL WITH SOME OF HER NEW AVENGING HOUND  TEAM MATES

The next Hero Hound to be offered membership to the ranks of the AVENGING HOUNDS was more of a Lover than a Fighter.   Come back next time this Foxy Character

THE STORY OF THE AVENGING HOUNDS CONTINUES

The last member to have joined  Earth's  Mightiest Mutts had been  JEN-SNIFFER WATERBOWL ( or  Jeni-Fur to her friends) aka THE SHE-HOUNDED HULK.

With her addition to the team,  The Waspish Pooch who  at this time was  the current chair person of the team,  tried to rebuild a group that had been reduced in numbers of late.

The Current Line up stood as ...... Canine America   Sent Hound of Liberty,  Iron Hound   The Armoured Mutt,   The Hawk eyed Hound    Marks Mutt supreme,   The Mutty PAW  The Horse Dog of Thunder,  The She Hounded Hulk   The Jade Pooch of Power  and  of course The Wonderful Waspish Pooch 

BUSINESS AS USUAL AT THE AVENGING HOUNDS MANSON

Janet Van Dog, aka the Waspish pooch was using her time as Chairperson of the Avenging Hounds as a distraction from her private life.   Her marriage to her  Husband Harry Pym, who was currently known as The Yellow Jack Russell had ended  after years of problems.  These Problems had been mainly  caused due to his mental instability. He had verbally abused her for years, but the final straw came when in a fit of temper HE BIT HER !

Then things went from bad to worse for Dr Pym. He lost his place as an Avenging Hound after attacking and nearly killing an unarmed foe who had surrendered.  Then when a failed bid to get him back on the team and into the affections of Janet  back fired,  he was framed by one of his arch foes EGG HOUND. The result he was currently in prison awaiting trial.



On the rebound The waspish Pooch in her everyday guise as Janet Van Dog the Millionairess and  famous fashion designer had started a relationship with Billionaire and Industrialist and Inventor Boney Bark , who was in fact her fellow Avenging Hound,  IRON HOUND.

At this time only Canine America and The Mutty Paw knew Boney's secret that he  was IRON HOUND,   however Janet did not know who was inside the Armour. As Janet and Boney got closer, Both Paw and Canine America made it clear to Boney Bark that they did not approve of the relationship on the grounds that withholding his true identify from Janet would ultimately hurt her when she found out.

DISAPPROVING FRIENDS

Believing his fellow Avenging Hounds to be right, Boney broke off his relationship with Janet, BUT confessed that he was her fellow team mate THE IRON HOUND.  This deceit did hurt the Waspish Pooch, but she was glad that Boney had come clean before their relationship developed.  Both Boney & Janet would continue to be close, but only as friends and teammates..... not as lovers.

As the months went on the BARK KNIGHT, aka Great Dane Woofman  came back into the lives of the AV Hounds, but after one adventure he declined The Waspish Pooch's offer of a full time position on the team. Well he had been living in medieval England for many years, he wanted to see what had changed since he had been gone.

THE BARK KNIGHT BACK FROM THE PAST

However, The Avenging Hounds needed a new member.....

Next Time we will meet the new addition to the team.

ENJOY
