3. Lockheed

(X-Men, Marvel Comics)

If you thought that somehow, I wasn’t going to put a literal dragon on this list, than you clearly do not know me very well.

Lockheed originally appeared as a replacement for the X-Men’s Blackbird in a bedtime story Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) tells to Illyana Rasputin (Magik)…Because Lockheed was the name of the aircraft producer who built the Blackbird. It’s a pretty good pun.

Chris Clairemont must’ve realized that Dragon + X-Men = so much awesome, because he eventually introduced a real version of Lockheed, who was a space alien dragon. Because the only thing better than “dragon” is “space dragon”. Lockheed and Kitty Pryde formed a bond, and the duo became quite the team. Despite being the size of a housecat, Lockheed is a badass through and through.

He’s even an agent of SWORD (think SHIELD, but for outer space). But again: Space dragon. Why would I need to say more?
