'''Underdog''' is the name of an [[anthropomorphic]] cartoon [[dog]] featured in both TV cartoons and a 2007 live-action movie. He first appeared in his own cartoon on October 3rd, 1964, as a parody of Superman and other various superheroes. Wally Cox provided the rhyming voice for both Underdog and his secret identity, mild-mannered Shoeshine Boy.<br />
<br />
Every week, villains such as Simon Bar Sinister, Cad and anthro [[wolf]] Riff Raff, The Electric (Slippery) Eel, Battyman, and Overcat would threaten the fair city and more importantly Underdog's girlfriend reporter Sweet Polly Purebred (a parody of Lois Lane). Mild-mannered shoeshine boy Shoeshine Boy would duck into a phone booth in a parody of Superman transformations and, in an explosion that would destroy the booth, become Underdog.<br />
<br />
Underdog's powers originally come from a "Underdog Super Energy Vitamin Pill," but in the 80's and 90's, this was edited out from the cartoons as the producers didn't want to glorify drug use.<br />
<br />
Although the series was canceled in 1973 and went into syndication, Underdog had entered cult status. He can be seen annually as a balloon at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He's also seen on t-shirts, commercials and parodied in cartoons.<br />

On August 3rd, 2007, [[Disney|Walt Disney Pictures]] released a live-action Underdog motion picture, featuring the voice of Jason Lee as the voice of [[beagle]] Underdog. Amy Adams provided the voice of his sweetheart Polly Purebred. Actor Peter Dinklage played Underdog's archnemesis Simon Bar Sinister, while Alex Neuberger played Underdog's [[human]] friend. The movie was not based on any previous continuity of Underdog and offered a new, different perspective on the character and his origins.<br />
