Lockheed the Dragon

Kitty Pryde’s dragon Lockheed has had as much as a complicated past as any of the X-Men but remains a favorite. After the dragon saves and frees her in space, Shadowcat and the dragon become almost inseparable for many issues and over many years. Most recently however, Lockheed betrays the team in Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men, surprising almost everyone. Lockheed is highly intelligent and has the ability to block telepathic probing, like that of Professor X. He can understand English, and even speak it if he chooses, which he does rarely, and can understand and speak a multitude of languages including alien languages. And let’s not forget he is a dragon so he can most definitely breathe fire. Lockheed has yet to appear in any films, but with such a complicated history and important standing with Kitty Pryde, it will be important for him to eventually make his way on screen.
