**Ace the Bathound** is the tritagonist of the episode *the Enchanted Pup meets Ace the Bathound* and a major character in the *Enchanted Pup* franchise. Ace is the pet of the American superhero, Batman who resides in Metro City, protecting its residents from crime with his partners, Krypto and Streaky, the Dog Stars and the legendary Enchanted Pup, Hansel.

## Background

Ace is the pet and partner of Batman, helping him protect Gotham City from villains such as the Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Harley Quinn and many more. At some point in his life, he left Gotham City to live in Metro City, home of the famous Superdog, pet and partner of Superman. The two dogs crossed paths when they worked to stop a bank robbery. After bringing the robber to justice, the two immediately became close friends and began to fight crime together. Later, Ace became affiliated with the Dog Stars after saving their ship from the villainous Mechanikat.

### Development

   Ace is a character from *Krypto the Superdog,* that Elkwood wanted to include in his stories. For one, he decided his background, the same as his master's. Also, he decided to give Ace, an updated personality and costume change. His original costume made his eyes, white. The updated costume change shows that his eye color is blue.

### Personality

Ace is shown to be exactly like his master. Being extremely focused, acting threatening towards criminals and rarely smiling. He did however have a soft spot for his dog-and-cat companions and his master, whom he looks up in admiration. However in his debut, Ace was shown to be skeptical and somewhat judgmental when he met Hansel for the first time. Due to his clumsiness and awkwardness, he found Hansel to be "dead weight" and initially refused to bring him along on duty. Ace only refused because he felt that having a teenager on the team would be embarrassing and time-wasting.

Throughout the episode, Hansel proved himself as a genius and hero to Ace. Being able to locate Luther and fight him and his henchmen despite getting captured and nearly killed by the former. Ace was surprised by Hansel's skills and admitted that he was wrong and that he shouldn't have doubted him. Also, his time with Hansel changed Ace's perfectionistic and stoic personality for the better. He usually makes a witty remark once, twice or more in an episode. He seems to have done that before he encountered Hansel.

Ace has also chosen to let loose and have fun, seeing how Hansel was able to do that while working on a mission.

### Physical appearance

Ace is slender dog with grey fur. His supersuit is a black mask and cape with a golden collar that supplies with various weapons.

### Powers and abilities

Just like his master, Ace doesn't possess any super, special or magical powers. However, he does seem to be a master in Kung-Fu and has great agility and physical strength.

* **Dog Physiology:** Ace is an anthropomorphic dog
* **Martial Art Skills:** Ace mentioned that he was a master in Kung-Fu when his master, Batman trained him.

## Appearances

### The Enchanted Pup: The Series

#### Ace meets the Enchanted Pup

Ace is introduced when Hansel mistaken him for a criminal on a military base. Krypto introduces Hansel to Ace and he explains that he's in a military base trying to figure out who's been stealing electric and nuclear energy. The only witness he has is Butch the Terrible Terrier. Krypto and Streaky are unable to identify the witness but Hansel is, since he's a dangerous criminal in the kingdom of the EverRealm. He offers to come along but Ace refuses. Hansel tried to convince Ace to change his mind, but it results in him humiliating himself.

Later that night, Ace encounters Butch and his gang but is unable to get answers from them. Fortunately, Hansel learns that Luther paid the Terrier Gang to rob the military bases and erased their memories to ensure that the secret didn't get out. Hansel also learned that Luther is planning to steal the new national bank in Metro City. Reluctantly, Ace allows Hansel to come along with them on their mission to stop the incoming robbery.

Inside the bank, Luther freezes everyone with his magical staff's powerful magic. He and his pet hyenas, Bud and Lou prepares to retreat, only to be confronted by Krypto, Streaky, Ace and Streaky. Unfortunately, Krypto, Streaky and Ace are quickly defeated by the Bat King. Hansel, however, chases Luther up onto the room to confront his enemy. Luther then activates a suction spaceship that is rigged to explode as soon as it leaves orbit. It sucks Hansel and blasts into the sky. Krypto and Streaky regain consciousness, wakes up Ace and rescues Hansel with help from Dogmobile.

Hansel is rescued and the Bat King and his goons are arrested by Xavier. Luther's curse is broken and the grand opening of the national bank resumes. With dignity, Ace admits that he was wrong about Hansel and accepts him for who he is. He bids his friends a farewell, but not before he gives Hansel a high-five, a sign of Ace adopting a more relaxed and fun disposition.
