Cosmo (Guardians of the Galaxy)

First Appearance; Guardians of the Galaxy (Cameo)

Played By: Fred the Dog

A former canine member of a U.S.S.R Space program that originated on the planet Terra (known to the locals as Earth), Cosmo was somehow obtained by the Collector-Taneleer Tivan, who locked him behind a glass display case and made him one of the exhibits in his private Museum on the mining colony of Nowhere (in the severed head of a Celestial).


"Guardians of the Galaxy"

During Star-Lord, Gamora, Groot and Rocket's visit to the Tivan Museum- the home of the "largest collection of Fauna, Relics and Species of all manor"- to sell him the Orb, Cosmo is alert in his exhibit and growls at Rocket as he passes the display case. Rocket retorts in the same fashion, but leaves him barking as the four outlaws (not yet official the Guardians of the Galaxy) follow Carina to meet the Collector.

After Carina's attempt to kill Tivan with the Power Stone backfired, causing her body to disintegrate and then explode in a blast of purple energy that tore through the museum and destroyed much of the building and the exhibits, Cosmo managed to survive the blast and scampered off into Knowhere. 

Returning to Tivan later, Cosmo begins licking the Collector's face while the recovering owner is drinking. He doesn't receive a reaction and pathers off while Howard comments that it was "gross" that Tivan would "let him lick you like that."
