Big congrats to 4 year old, Sean Z. from Chicago, who wins 3 awesome DC Super-pets Books! Heroes of the High Seas, Midway Monkey Madness, and Pooches of Power, His super-pet creation that won our contest is:
Max Cat. This super pet has the ability to claw bad guys into being good. He also has super heat powers to warm cold bodies. His superhero costume is a studded collar & paw cuffs.
That sounds like one super punk, super-pet. Look out bad guys. You're about to be rehabilitated back from the dark side with the swipe of a claw.
