- "Uh, no, sweetheart. I'm the Canine of Chaos. I was gonna have you murder each other, but now I'm gonna kill you myself!"
- —Marchosias to Charlie[src]
Marchosias, self-titled the Canine of Chaos, is a hellhound which impersonated a Jack Russell Terrier that Gary found in Hell and named "Gary Jr." Gary made him his emotional support animal.
Biography[]
Sometime in New York during the '70s, Marchosias made the Son of Sam commit a series of murders.
Marchosias as "Gary Jr".
Years later, in Hell, Gary Green noticed Marchosias in the form of a terrier and, believing he was lonely, decided to adopt him. As Gary was introducing him to the Legends, he explained that he was not trained. Marchosias demonstrated this by urinating on the floor and running away.
Sounding like barking to each member, Marchosias had different Legends do his bidding. He had Charlie move the rings of the Loom of Fate and drop them into the ship's septic system, and he had Zari Tarazi and Nate Heywood sabotage the Waverider. When the Legends came back to reality, they had no memory of their actions.
Marchosias is sent back to hell.
Gary carried the terrier to Sara Lance, hoping the dog would cheer up his blind commander. While she was holding him, Marchosias tried to persuade Sara to kill Gary, but she was able to reject his prompts. Soon, he transformed into his true form, but John Constantine was able to stun him. The hellhound escaped to confront Heatwave and his daughter but was thwarted by Sara. Constantine told Sara that he needed the real name of the hellhound to banish him when Astra Logue arrived providing it. Constantine then cast the spell that opened a portal, sending Marchosias back to Hell.[1]
The experience with Marchosias caused Gary to be more cautious with befriending dogs,[2] causing him to choose a rabbit as his next pet, Gary Jr. II.[3]
Erased futures[]
In one erased future, the Legends were all killed by their leader, Sara Lance, who was under the control of the terrier when doing this. This was all initially started when Gary brought Marchosias in to cheer Sara up and he used this opportunity to mind control Sara into snapping Gary's neck.[1]
Sara saw another erased future in a vision where Marchosias, in his hellhound form, killed Mick when Mick was trying to protect Lita from the creature. Both of these futures were prevented when the Legends realized the creature's scheme.[1]
Powers and abilities[]
Powers[]
- Hellhound physiology: As a Hellhound, Marchosias has special powers.[1]
- Pyrokinesis: Marchosias has the power to summon and control fire as shown by how he surrounded himself in a swirl of fire in order to transform into his true form.
- Fire immunity: As demonstrated upon being shot by the heat gun, because Marchosias was born from fire, fire cannot hurt him. If anything, it makes him stronger.[1]
- Mind control/Telepathy: Marchosias can make anyone do his bidding just by talking, though it would appear that only the being he is trying to manipulate could hear him speak the incoherent language; to anyone else, he is simply loudly barking. He is seen to be powerful enough to control a deity like Clotho, but it would appear that he could only control one person at a time. Anyone under this effect would be in a trance-like state and thus would not be able to recount anything that's happened whilst under his influence.[1]
- Shape-shifting: Marchosias was able to shapeshift into a Jack Russell Terrier.[1]
- Immortality: As a Hellhound, Marchosias is immortal.[1]
Weaknesses[]
- Banishing spell: For Constantine's spell to work, he needed to know the real name of the demon. Fortunately, Astra knew it, allowing Constantine to return the Hellhound to Hell.[1]
