Anubis and Devil Dog, now calling themselves "The Dog Pound", were among the villains in the ambush of the [[Justice Society of America|JSA]] led by [[Tapeworm (comics)|Tapeworm]].

==In other media==

* Hellhound appeared in the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Grudge Match." He is shown as a fighter in [[Roulette (DC Comics)|Roulette]]'s Metabrawl fighting [[Shatterfist (DC Comics)|Shatterfist]]. He was also a member of [[Gorilla Grodd]]'s [[Legion of Doom (Super Friends)|Legion of Doom]].
