Uplifted animals that aren't primates or completely anthropomorphic. 
Think Rocket Raccoon, Cosmo, Pinky & the Brain, Krypto, Devil Dinosaur, 
Mr. Ed, etc.  What's the utility of a hero having an intelligent animal? 
  How smart can you make an animal?  Do you have to make an animal 
smarter, or can they function with a translator system?  Why would a 
hero want a talking pet?

That's my idea.  Good luck.
