Courage
Courage is the protagonist of the series. He lives in the middle of Nowhere with his owner Muriel Bagge and her husband Eustace. Despite his signature cowardly demeanor, Courage does live up to the meaning of his name. Because of a kidnapping incident with his parents, he was abandoned as a puppy, found by Muriel, and began fearing everything. This fear is easily swallowed, however, when Muriel's safety is put into jeopardy or trouble falls upon him in general. Not only because he wishes to protect Muriel, but because the events of his most painful memory drives him to do so in fear of losing another loved one. Though he is willing to risk his own life to protect Muriel at all costs, his irrationality sometimes causes others to doubt his intuition.

Dukey
Dukey is the talking animal companion of young Johnny Test. He is very intelligent, and has fought many enemies that are very dangerous alongside Johnny. Dukey is also great at kung Fu, and fighting. Dukey claims that he hates becoming Super Pooch in "The Revenge of Johnny X"... Dukey isn't as enthusiastic about being a superhero as Johnny is, but he is forced to go along with his schemes on account of reverse psychology, guilt, and offerings of steak.
Super Pooch
Dukey also has his alter ego, Super Pooch that gives him many abilities.
Powers in Super Pooch
Flight
Super Strength
Shape Shaping
Teleportation (only in "Johnny X: The Final Ending")
Oral Force-Fields
Power poots (sometimes)
Super Vision
Weaknesses
Despite his uniquely human abilities, Dukey's still a dog who can't deny his natural dog urges. His dog habits greatly annoy Johnny's sisters, to which Johnny takes deep delight in. Usually once per episode, when trouble arises and there's no alternative, Dukey will say something along the lines of "Here's an idea: RUN!" Dukey has admitted that he's ticklish and can't resist a belly rub from Johnny.
Jake
Jake is a dog, but not an ordinary dog. He's a talking magical dog. Since Jake is magical, he's able to shape shift and stretch himself out vast distances! He's also gone on many different adventures with his friend Finn, who is one of the few humans in Adventure Time.

ABILITIES
Shape-Shifting-Allows Jake to morph his body into any shape, whether it be keys, weapons, items, etc. Can manipulate every single facet of his body, even his teeth and internal organs, to gigantic proportions.
Stretchy Powers-Can stretch his body to incredibly great heights and/or length
Possession-Can possess other people's bodies by shrinking down, forcing himself down their throat, and then stretching every inch of himself into every fiber of their being
WEAKNESSES
Stretching abilities have limits
Pushing these limits too far could kill him
Easily persuaded into dangerous and irresponsible situations
Is rather weak without his magic abilities
Wizkid222: He does have weaknesses though. He can only stretch or grow so far before he becomes weak. Even though he has more durability than Finn, he can get pretty hurt from big blows. And lastly, he's kind of dumb.
Scooby Doo (Shaggy and Scooby gets a Clue)
Wizkid222: I'm using this Scooby so he would actually stand a chance.
Scooby-Doo is a dog with an immense appetite, owned by Shaggy Rogers. An inheritance from Shaggy's Uncle Albert plunged him into the world of high-tech, super-powered international crime-fighting. Scooby-Doo is a large brown dog with black spots on his upper body. He is either a Great Dane, or (more likely) a Great Dane mix, and is also 7-years-old.
He can speak and understand English, though he does speak it with a speech impediment. He is generally a quadruped, though he sometimes walks on his hind legs and uses his front paw as hands, complete with opposable thumbs. His tail is also fully prehensile, allowing him to push buttons or even swing from it.
Strength
Scooby should be comparable to a Great Dane (Since Scooby IS a Great Dane), and Great Danes have a jaw pressure of 750 Pounds.
Have been Sumos in the past.
Teamed up with Blue Falcon and Dynomutt to take on an army of soldiers, and won

Weaknesses
Pretty cowardly
He has an undying love for "Scooby Snacks." He so loves these brown, caramel-flavored cookies that he can be talked into doing just about anything
Wizkid222: Overall Scooby is a good fighter and great at solving mysteries with his team but he is still a coward and would most likely run away.
Before the fight
Scooby wakes up in the city and looks around he finds a note saying he must fight three other talking dogs if he wants to see his friends again. He goes downtown and looks for the dogs. Jake is sent through a portal with the same note. He crumples it up and transforms into a car and drives to the city. Courage gets a note saying he must fight three other dogs and win if he wants Muriel back. He heads downtown in Eustace's car. Dukey receives a letter saying he must fight the dogs to the death or Johnny and his family will never be free. Dukey goes to the city and spots the three other dogs.
FIGHT
Jake extends his hand to Dukey and grabs him, he then throws him into a building. Dukey then transforms into Super Pooch and takes to the skies. Courage takes out his slingshot and shoots rocks at Scooby. Scooby then takes out a bag and eats the Strength Scooby Snack. Courage looks at the dog and then his eyes pop out of his sockets and widen once he sees that Scooby has grown taller and extremely buff. He then grabs Courage and throws him into a building. Courage slowly gets up but Scooby punches him back to the wall. Jake then tackles Scooby and pins him to the ground. Scooby belches and he reverts back to normal. Jake then starts to crush Scooby with his giant hand but Dukey rams into Jake and flies to the middle of nowhere. Scooby then eats a speed Scooby snack and runs to Jake and Dukey. Courage gets up and drives back home. He goes to the attack and types on GIF.
"Three magical dogs. Need help" Courage says as he types. "That's sure a lot of info..."Gif says sarcastically. Courage sighs. "But seriously I can't help you. You have to fight them yourself. Good luck...you twit" he adds before going into sleep mode. Courage grabs a baseball bat and goes outside. Jake turns his hand into a mace and knocks Dukey out of the sky. He goes to crush him but Dukey teleports away. Scooby takes out a Scooby snack and eats it, it turns him into his giant monster form. Courage's eyes fall out his head shocked to see that. He drops his bat and digs a hole. He then fills it with instant quicksand. He shoots his slingshot at Jake and Jake chases after him. Jake then gets stuck in the quicksand. Courage than hits him in the head with a bat and Jake slowly sinks down.
Dukey uses his power poot on Scooby and Scooby changes back into himself. Dukey then kicks Scooby sending him flying. Courage then jumps on Dukey and shoots him down with his ray gun. Dukey crashes to the ground with Courage on him. Dukey groans and Courage aims his ray gun at him. Dukey then blasts a powerful power poot at Courage. Courage screams and then he catches the fire in his mouth. He then spits it at Dukey causing him to scream in pain. Courage then takes out his chainsaw and he impales Dukey with it. Courage starts the chainsaw and Dukey screams before dying. Scooby then eats a Scooby snack and he turns into hiss giant robot dog form. Jake then frees himself and fights Scooby. Jake tries to punch him but Scooby puts up a green shield to protect himself. Jake then grows as big as Scooby and then they to try to bring each other down. Courage thinks of what to do. He then grabs a lance from his pocket and rams it into Jakes foot. Jake yells in pain and shrinks down to take it out. He them grabs Courage by the neck and strangles him. Scooby attempts to crush the too but transforms to himself and fall on Jake. Scooby grabs his bag but Courage blasts the bag and the Scooby snacks. He then shoots Scooby in the chest and then Jake crushes the poor dog killing him. Courage and Jake then face each other. Jake and Courage fights hand to hand but Jake easily over powers him. Jake crushes Courage. Jake then throws him into a rock. Courage slowly gets up as Jake walks over to him. Courage takes a deep breath and unleashes his Super Scream. Jake quickly covers his ears and tries to keep his balance. The ground beneath Jake cracks and he falls into a whole. Courage then fills the hole with quicksand. Jake tries to free himself but he can't. Courage goes right next to Jake and does the Super Scream in his ears. Blood then starts to come from Jake's ears. The super scream is too much for Jake and Courage uses this to his advantage. He straps several bombs to Jake's head and runs away as they explode. Courage then leaves to find his owner.
KO
Wizkid222: And the winner is Courage and here's why. Dukey dies first because the only edge he has is intelligence. Scooby, Courage and Jake beat Dukey in experience and durability. Scooby dies next because Jake and Courage's pure strength will eventually be too much for him to handle. Lastly Jake loses to Courage because Courage has the edge in speed, intelligence, durability and weaponry. Also Jake has no way to end Courage. Courage could take all the pain Jake could give and dish out just as much. The winner is Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Rematch idea...Courage, Jake, Scooby, Dukey, Craig, and more talking animals.
