10 Marvel Pets You Wish You Could Adopt

2. Lockjaw

Despite being a dog, Lockjaw is by far the best member of the Inhumans. As 'Companion to the Royal Family of the Inhumans', Lockjaw plays an important part in keeping New Attilan safe from the countless threats it faces. However, if you think he's just a giant slobbering eating machine... Well, you'd be mostly right, but there's way more to this lovable mutt than meets the eye.

In one of Marvel's greatest decisions, Lockjaw got his own Avengers team in 2009's 'Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers'. While Reed Richards visits Attilan, Lockjaw reads his mind and finds out Richards needs the Inhumans' help to collect the Infinity Gems. Being the good boy he is, Lockjaw decides to help out by fetching the remaining Gems.

Teaming up with Lockheed, Redwing, Throg and some other cuddly friends, the Pet Avengers use Sparky's abilities to teleport around the Marvel Universe. They find the Time Gem in the Savage Land (also gaining assistance from Zabu, the Sabretooth) and manage to grab the Soul and Reality Gems from inside Giganto, a whale-like monster from the depths.

The unlikely group of critters managed to retrieve all the remaining Gems, with Lockjaw getting the honour of surprising Mr Fantastic with them all.
