    I know his teeth are very powerful, but like in terms of carrying/lifting things how much can he lift? His strength is still proportionate to a dog level right? Or is he as strong as Superman?

    I think, strength-wise, he's proportionate to a dog. That means a little weaker than Superman, but can still tackle.people.

    I imagine that Krypto's powers would be like Bolt's television persona. Super-bark that work like Black Canary's sonic scream, a powerful bite that could break bones or pull a tree down, heat and x-ray vision, ice-breath..etc. Think Superman if he was turned into a dog by some rare-colored kryptonite.

    @Shotgun:  Strength wise, I mean like lifting. How much could the dog lift, is what I am trying to understand.

    He's beat the crap outta Darkseid alone, I'm pretty sure. Unless it was Doomsday. Either way, Supes has a hard enough time taking either down

    I'll say he is between 40 to 60% of Superman's strength.
