10 Comic Book Sidekicks Better Than Their Mentors
7. Lockheed
Kitty Pryde is everyone's favorite wall-phasing mutant. While those powers are impressive, they don't offer much in a brawl besides being able to avoid the mess altogether. Besides being able to make a quick exit, the prolific X-Men member does bring something to the fight and it's something that every kid wishes they had.
Ms. Pryde’s loyal compadre is a living breathing dragon. This purple mythical creature is named Lockheed and is roughly the size of a household cat. But don’t underestimate the little guy because he isn't the standard size dragon fans are used to seeing.
This little ball of chaos has razor sharp claws and teeth, and backed by his insane amount of strength makes him a formidable asset for Kitty to use in battle. This empathetic dragon has the power of flight and can understand as well as speak English. And no dragon is complete without its fire-breathing abilities. Lockheed is no exception to the rule as he can breathe out huge and intense waves of fire.
Kitty is excellent, but in the fight involving a girl who can move through solid objects against a mythical beast of fire, the dragon easily takes the cake.
