This is just the sort of thing I was afraid of seeing when Disney bought Marvel. It's bad enough that we are getting this type of character, but it isn't even a very good representation - where's the Blade, Claws, Fangs and how can a dog have two clicks of impervious? Oh...Wrong Pluto. That's a little embarrassing.
Apparently there is another Pluto - the Roman god of death – who has appeared in a few Marvel comics over the years. And he's made for an interesting dial - I really can't recall seeing anything quite like that before. No sign of move and attack powers (unless that late-dial white power is one) but huge attack numbers and bucket loads of steal energy that should keep him on the map. Me likey.
This little gem grabbed me as I was looking up Pluto online – I hope it gives you as much pleasure as it gave me.
From the Wikipedia entry: "Zeus decrees that Pluto can only leave the Underworld if he finds someone willing to rule in his place. [fair enough so far] Pluto travels to Earth and disguises himself as Mr. Hellman, a movie producer, [remember, this is the god of death] and invites Hercules to make a movie about himself [of course]. Hercules signs the contract into ruling the underworld unaware of that the contract actually binds him to serve as ruler of the Olympian Underworld in Pluto's place. [I had to stop reading at that point as I nearly spat out my sandwich for laughing]
