Tawky Tawny was the animal sidekick of Captain Thunder.
History
This section of the history takes place during Flashpoint, a massive crossover event set in an alternate timeline to the mainstream DCU. History was completely changed when Professor Zoom finally found a way to erase his nemesis the Flash without harming his own legacy.
In an effort to save his mother's life from the Reverse-Flash, Barry Allen unknowingly changes reality, creating a new world in which his friends' lives are drastically different.
In this universe Tawky Tawny is an ordinary tiger, kept on a leash by one of six children who each possess one of the powers of Shazam. He along with six human children are trapped in a subway car that transports them to the Rock of Eternity. There they meet the wizard Shazam who grants each of the children with a different one of the wizard's attributes.
By saying the word "Shazam" together, the six children possess the collective ability to turn into Captain Thunder, this timeline's version of Captain Marvel. When the children transform into Captain Thunder, Tawky Tawny becomes a Smilodon in armor. Pedro, the child who keeps Tawky on a leash, claims that due to the magic surrounding the tiger, most people only see him as a regular tabby cat. Cyborg however could see him as a tiger through his cybernetic eye.[1]
