Hellhound is a legacy name used by several dog-themed villains in the DC Universe. The original was a dog-themed martial artist who studied under the Armless Master, becoming an antagonist to Catwoman. He was murdered by the hitman Zeiss while working as a bodyguard for Lew Moxon during War Games. Jack Chifford bought the costume and identity from Calculator to join the Secret Society of Super-Villains, although he died during Salvation Run. Chifford's cousin and a dog-like metahuman later fought over rights to the identity, but eventually formed the team Dogpound as Anubis and Devil Dog. Hellhound was created by Jordan B. Gorfinkel and Jim Balent, first appearing in Catwoman (Volume 2) Annual #2. (1995)
