Krypto has gotten a lot of attention the past few months, getting a lot of screen time in the 2025 version of Superman. My thoughts on the movie aside, Krypto had a lot of screen time and showcased a few different abilities.
Meanwhile, Goose is the ā as it turns out ā female cat-alien, or alien-cat, from Captain Marvel and The Marvels. Goose appeared to simply be a cat that clawed Nick Fury in the face. As it turns out, Gus is an alien with a five tentacles instead of a tongue.
Now, looking at it on paper, it seems like Krypto may have more of a chance here. Heās got speed, flight, at least a little amount of strength (enough to chomp on metal robot drones with ease). But what is the level of strength weāre talking here? Thatās a little more unclear. Heās got enough strength to carry Mr. Terrific through the sky on his back.
But letās turn back to Goose. She seemingly just swallows up anything she wants. That means people, aliens, and objects. Not a problem. They all go to the pocket dimension inside of her body. Thatās the power of the Flerken race.
So what happens when Goose faces Krypto? Well, Goose immediately unleashes the tentacles when Krypto gets too close. I think Krypto will avoid the tentacles for the moment. But Goose will go on the offense and unleash the tentacles again ā entangling Krypto. Now, Krypto could potentially break free, but what is the strength level? Can he break out?
I donāt know. Heāll put up a fight, but I could theoretically see Goose swallowing Krypto up and sending him to a new dimension. I mean, Krypto was no genius in Superman. He was actually pretty stupid, so Goose seems to have the intelligence edge here. Itās just a matter of strength. I may be off base here, but if Goose can swallow up human-sized aliens and people of all strengths and sizes, Krypto loses this match.
Winner: Goose
