Lockheed

Creators

Lockheed was created by Chris Claremont and Paul Smith.

Origin

Lockheed first met the young mutant, Kitty Pryde, during a battle between the X-Men and an alien race known as The Brood. He decided to secretly stow away with the X-Men back to Earth. Kitty was initially frightened by Lockheed, but the two eventually bonded and have become nearly inseparable ever since.

When Kitty went to the United Kingdom to join the team Excalibur as a founding member, Lockheed went too. Lockheed would venture off on his own from time to time, but always returned to Kitty eventually. During the "Secret Wars" Lockheed fought with Colossus but disappeared after the first battle. He reappeared with another dragon, and just in time to fly into the teleporter Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) had built causing it to spark and create numerous anomalies.

When the alien known as Ord first made his presence known, Lockheed was instrumental in stopping him the first time he confronted the X-Men by breathing fire in his face. Since then it has been revealed that Lockheed is in fact an informant working for SWORD in exchange for help on his homeworld. It is also shown that Lockheed knows multiple languages fluent including english. And that he is very intelligent.

Powers

Lockheed has sharp claws, teeth, and two horns. He has small wings on his back, providing his power of flight. He is also an empath, and can understand what one is saying regardless of language. He speaks English, but rarely does so. On the defensive end of battle, Lockheed is quick, nimble, and completely impervious to telepathy. On the offense, Lockheed's ability to breathe fire of extreme intensity more than makes up for his small size.

He is supposed to be highly intelligent. Agent Brand claims Lockheed can speak more languages than Professor X.

Pryde of the X-Men

Lockheed served as a pet to the Brotherhood of Evil Terrorists. But unlike other pets being cared by a master, he is always bullied by the members and was not treated well. When the X-Men came to retrieve the power circuit after being stolen by the Brotherhood, Kitty Pryde and Nightcrawler fought Magneto. Since Nightcrawler is busy in performing a task, Kitty was left to fight him, yet, she was a newbie having a hard time against the villain. Lockheed bit Magneto's foot and Magneto's plan of controlling the asteroid was destructed. After their mission, Lockheed joined Kitty Pryde to the X-Men.
