When Lex Luthor captures the Justice League, Krypto loses his power and then forms a team of shelter pets who were given superpowers so that they can save Superman and his friends. The Super Pets team includes the indestructible Ace; a pig named PB, who has the ability to enlarge herself to giant-size; and a a turtle named Merton McSnurtle who moves at super-fast speed, and Chip, a squirrel who gains electric powers.
