Dogpool is from Earth-103173, a universe in the Marvel Multiverse. [6] In this universe, Wilson the dog was subjected to animal testing by a cosmetics company called Babeline in a project called Mascara-X, which sought to create a product that would grant customers eternal youth. After being horribly mutated by the experiments, he was left in a dumpster to die, but eventually escaped and was recruited by a circus, seeing the potential of his regenerative abilities.
There, he performed death-defying tricks and adopted the name "Deadpool". He would eventually be rescued by the Deadpool of Earth-616 and join the Deadpool Corps, a superhero team composed of various versions of Deadpool from different universes. Dogpool became close friends with Kidpool, a child version of Deadpool, but would eventually be killed by an evil version of Deadpool. [1] [2] [7] [8]

An official Instagram account was created to host photographs of Peggy as Dogpool, and it had over 241,000 followers at the time of the film's release. [1] Ryan Reynolds, the actor of Deadpool, stated that he supported Peggy's inclusion in the film because "she feels like the animal manifestation of Wade Wilson". [9] [10]
