Lockjaw
Lockjaw is a comic book character that first appeared in Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #45
An Inhuman transformed into the shape of a dog by the Terrigen Mists which also gave abilities of incredible teleportaton feats.
Origin
The Inhumans are an ancient race that diverged from human beings over 25,000 years ago. When they come of age, they are exposed to the Terrigen Mists. Each Inhuman experiences different results.
One Inhuman child was transformed into the shape of a giant dog. He is now known as Lockjaw and serves as a companion to the Royal Family. Lockjaw has the ability to teleport himself and a large number of others (with a combined weight of one ton) over great distances, such as from the Earth to the Moon. Lockjaw is also capable of teleporting to other dimensions.
Lockjaw has the intelligence of a human, but has many canine traits. Allegedly Lockjaw is able to speak but rarely seems to do so. Lockjaw is generally treated as a pet, but is respected by other Inhumans. He appears to be Luna's protector, as he was to Crystal.
Lockjaw comes just in time when Black bolt is freed from the ion field. He unknowing distracts the Kree soldiers just long enough for Black Bolt to attack them. Lockjaw then teleports them outside of Attilan by the Kree tents. Lockjaw teleports Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, and Gorgon to the mists to fight the Kree.
Powers
Lockjaw can teleport as little as ten feet and as much as 24,000 miles, (from Earth to the moon), it is unclear if he can teleport further. Lockjaw can also teleport interdimensionally and has teleported across time on very rare occasions, when teleporting he cna bring up to a dozen individuals or a ton of mass, though all being teleported must be within a radius of 14 feet of him, (the closer the better, physical contact makes it easier). He cannot teleport others without teleporting himself. His teleportation is accompanied by a bright sparkling whit flash. Certain types of fields, notably the Inhumans "negative space" barriers, can inhibit Lockjaw's teleporting.
Lockjaw has limited telekinetic ability. He has used this to move rocks and to create force shields to protect the Royal Family, these exhaust him and he rarely uses them. The antennae on Lockjaw's and Black Bolt's Foreheads allow the two to combine their powers, they once created a dimensional gateway, something neither can do alone. Lockjaw has limited and erratic empathic abilities as well, he can sometimes sense when those he cares for are in danger or need, no matter their distance. Lockjaw can also track beings he knows, even across interdimensional space.
Lockjaw's intelligence fluctuates from a little more than canine at times to comprehending complex language. Lockjaw's strength is significantly greater than that of a normal being of his size and build, and his jaws are able to grab and hold hold up to 90 tons, he also held Silver Surfer at a standoff. Lockjaw's teeth and digestive system are similarly strengthened, whereas normal dogs chew on and digest bone, Lockjaw chews on metal.
