Biography[]
Adopted by Kate Bishop[]
Meeting Kate Bishop[]
- "Hi. Heck of a party, huh?"
- ―Kate Bishop[src]
In December 2024, Lucky was sitting alone in the snow outside the entrance of a hotel in which a charity gala was taking place. Lucky was greeted by Kate Bishop, who had just walked outside from the hotel, but was distracted by the sound of a horn honking, running off to chase it.[2]
Robbery of the Black Market Auction[]
After the Tracksuit Mafia began a heist of the black market auction taking place below the charity gala, Lucky found a member near a truck loading the stolen goods into a truck. Lucky attacked the criminal, knocking the Mafia member to the ground and biting his leg. As the man struggled to shake Lucky off his leg, Kate Bishop, dressed in the Ronin Suit, arrived and knocked the criminal out with a kick to the face. With the Tracksuit Mafia member down, Lucky ran away, pursued by Bishop.
Lucky ran away from the hotel into a busy street. Lucky stopped midway into the street, seconds away from being hit by a vehicle. Lucky was saved by Bishop who managed to run across traffic and roll over the hood of a car to dive and grab Lucky just in time to save his life, bringing him to safety on the other side of the street. The heavy traffic temporarily stopped Kazi Kazimierczak and the rest of the Tracksuit Mafia, who were pursuing Bishop, allowing Lucky and Bishop to retreat safely.[2]
Attack on Kate Bishop's Apartment[]
- "I'm gonna... I'm gonna get you some food. Uh... Pizza? You want some pizza? Have some. Go on. Good boy. Wow. You like pizza."
- ―Kate Bishop[src]
Kate Bishop brought Lucky to her apartment and let him get settled in. Realizing that he was hungry, she searched her refrigerator and found a pizza box, revealing one pizza slice left. She provided him with the pizza to eat and Lucky excitedly ate it up. Bishop left Lucky alone in her apartment while she went to investigate Armand Duquesne III, warning Lucky not to destroy the apartment in her absence.[2]
Shortly afterwards, Bishop returned to the apartment, now accompanied by Clint Barton, who found Lucky next to the pizza box he had began chewing apart. After Bishop changed out of Ronin's Suit, Lucky ran upstairs while Barton interrogated Bishop about the suit.
The Tracksuit Mafia managed to track Bishop to her apartment, throwing two Molotov cocktails inside, starting a fire in the kitchen. The two archers briefly attempted to prevent further damage, with Barton catching the next Molotov cocktail to throw back at the Mafia while Bishop shot another with an arrow. However, the fire intensified, forcing Bishop, Barton, and Lucky to have to escape through the fire escape.[1]
New Home[]
Escaping the Tracksuit Mafia[]
- "I'll be back in the morning, buddy. You're a good dog."
- ―Clint Barton[src]
Fleeing from the Tracksuit Mafia, Clint Barton, Kate Bishop and Lucky used the subway to make their escape. Barton took them to a convenience store to pick up some medical supplies for Bishop's injuries. At Bishop's suggestion, the trio went to her aunt's apartment to stay at since Bishop's apartment had burned down.
Lucky stayed in the apartment with Bishop as Barton left to retrieve the Ronin Suit from Bishop's apartment. Barton returned later that night, and before leaving back to the hotel that he was staying at with his kids, pets Lucky and assured him he would be back in the morning.
The next morning, Lucky was fed pizza for breakfast by Bishop and ate it in a bowl while she watched the television. Lucky was left inside the apartment when Bishop and Barton left for the day.[1]
Going for a Walk[]
- "Probably should walk the dog. Don't you think? Been cooped up all day."
- ―Clint Barton to Kate Bishop[src]
The next day, Clint Barton and Kate Bishop returned to the apartment after being away for most of the day due to be detained by the Tracksuit Mafia. Realizing that Lucky had been cooped up in the apartment all day, Barton and Bishop decided to take Lucky with them as they left again for the day. Lucky sat with Barton and Bishop as they waited for an audiologist to arrive to fix Barton's hearing aid that had been smashed.
The trio then went to Cranky Pete's Deli for breakfast. Lucky sat down next to the table as Barton and Bishop discussed the realities of being a superhero and Barton's "branding" issues. After their meal, Barton went to pay and told Bishop to name Lucky. Bishop tried calling Lucky a couple of names, watching his response to each one, as he seemingly smiled when she called him "Pizza Dog".
Afterwards, they went walking in Central Park. As they walked, Bishop and Barton discussed the Tracksuit Mafia and their history with Ronin. The three then hopped into a taxi and, deciding to access the Bishop Security database to research the Mafia and Jack Duquesne, Bishop had them taken to the Bishop Residence. When they entered, Bishop let Lucky off his leash and he went to explore the new area.[3]
The three were surprised when they found Duquesne and Eleanor Bishop there as Bishop believed the house to be empty. When Barton left them, Lucky stayed behind with Bishop and laid down beside her, as she talked with her mother.[4]
Celebrating Christmas[]
Kate Bishop and Lucky left and went to pick up pizza and Christmas festivities before returning to the apartment to be with Clint Barton and celebrate Christmas. When Lucky entered the apartment, he ran over to Barton and started eating the snacks he had on the end table. Lucky then laid on the couch as the two watched movies, drank slushies, and decorated the Christmas tree.
After Barton showed Bishop he could throw an ornament across the room to hit the power button on the television, Bishop attempted it several times, almost hitting Lucky on one attempt. Later on, after Bishop and Barton had a deep conversation about the Blip and his time as Ronin, Bishop went to bed and took Lucky with her.[4]
Meeting the LARPers[]
The next day, after Clint Barton left the apartment, Lucky went with Kate Bishop to Central Park to meet with a NYPD officer among the LARPers. When they found the LARPers, Lucky barked at them, confused by their practice fighting, but Bishop told him they were not a threat.
Afterwards, Lucky and Bishop went to Grills' apartment. Lucky laid nearby as Bishop tried on costumes made by Missy. When Barton arrived, he and Bishop left to track down the watch, while Lucky stayed behind with the role players where it would be safer for him.[4]
Staying with Grills[]
- "You think you could look after the dog just for a few more days?"
"Sure."
"I got a hotel, and they don't have, they don't allow dogs." - ―Clint Barton and Grills[src]
Lucky remained with Grills, who was thinking about a possible name for him, after learning that he was not named yet. That night, Clint Barton came back from his fight and Lucky greeted him. Barton asked Grills if he could watch over Lucky for a few more days, which Grills agreed to, as well as offering Barton his couch to sleep on as well. Lucky rested his head on Barton's lap, as Barton pet him and fell asleep.
The next day, after Barton left the apartment, Lucky was trained by Grills to dance for a treat. The next morning, Barton and Kate Bishop returned and Lucky danced for Grills. Bishop tried to get him to do the same for her, though she failed.[5]
Christmas with the Bartons[]
- "The dog is so cute. What's his name?"
"That's Lucky." - ―Nathaniel Barton and Kate Bishop[src]
That night, Kate Bishop and Clint Barton returned to Lucky and prepared for their departure, as he invited them to come and live with him. The next morning, on Christmas Day, Lucky's name was finally decided on. The three left New York City and took a road trip to Barton's home in Iowa.
Later that day, when they arrived, Lucky was excitedly greeted by Barton's children, Cooper, Lila, and Nathaniel. Lucky then sat with them, Laura, Barton, and Bishop as the family opened their Christmas presents.[6]
Young Heroes Meet[]
- "Pizza delivery!"
- ―Kate Bishop to Lucky[src]
Kate Bishop relocated to a new apartment in New York City, taking Lucky with her. One night, Lucky witnessed Kamala Khan break into the place while Bishop was out. When Bishop returned, she gave Lucky a slice of pizza, which he happily ate as Khan introduced herself to Bishop.[7]
