Talk:Lockheed (character)

Untitled
I felt the article needed a picture so I linked to one used in the Shadowcat article. On the one hand she is much more prominent in it than he is, on the other it shows scale. (Note: the image is justified as fair use.)RJFJR 18:19, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

Errors
I think the page has a serious error. The only way it could not be is if there has been a continuity reset since I stopped reading comics, and the page is addressing only the canon of Marvel comics from that continuity reset.

Lockheed's first appearance was in the original Secret Wars miniseries. Secret wars was held on an artificial planet constructed by the Beyonder out of bits and pieces he ripped out of various other worlds. (It was also the original source of spider man's new black costume that later created the villain Venom.) After the 12-issue series concluded, Lockheed simply showed up on Earth a few issues later in the X-men, means of getting there unexplained. He appeared when Kitty was in a bad fight with some critters in the X-men's tunnels that were leftover from some other story, and I believe he breathed fire on the creature attacking her. (I think it was a solitary Sidrian Hunter left over from some Shi'ar storyline.) Later on, while the X-men were in Japan, a female giant dragon of his species showed up. That was the first appearance of his fiance, and it was heavily implied that the dragons were galactic-range teleporters.

So, in conclusion: wrong first appearance, wrong origin story, omission of 2 powers (admittedly, the fire breathing was seldom-used, but it did happen on a couple occasions). I'm not a regular user of Wikipedia so I'm just leaving this as a comment. I hope someone will research it when they get a chance and verify what I'm saying.


 * Wrong dragon. That wasn't Lockheed - LH predates SWs. - SoM 18:41, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

" In addition to serving alongside her with the X-Men, he joined her when she founded the British superhero team Excalibur." This sentance, seemingly refering to Kitty Pryde, is tacked onto a paragraph on the giant, female dragon. Rather confusingly, infact.

Revisions (10.11.05.)
The article formerly contained this line: "Inside the Brood starship, Kitty discovered an extra-terrestrial dragon who exactly resembled the creature from her fairy tale, except that he was the size of a large cat." “Exactly” and “resembled” are contradictory, since the word “resemble” indicates a partial or superficial similarity, whereas “exactly” implies a total or identical relationship. In fact, the fairy tale Lockheed did indeed only resemble the alien one, since the fairy tale one was an anthropomorphized cross between the jet and a dragon, was black in color just like the jet (not purple like the alien Lockheed), had several snaggleteeth protruding downward from his upper mandible, and had one large horn protruding from the back of his head like a pterosaur, not two small ones like the alien Lockheed.

Also, where was it established that he is an empath? Nightscream 10.11.05. 10:20pm EST.

Can this really be considered a stub?
It seems pretty fleshed out to me... Ocicat 02:04, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

The green dragon from Secret Wars
Didnt a recent Kitty Pryde miniseries reveal it was really alive? --DrBat 12:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

...empath..?
I'm not familiar with this character, but I think that the wrong word was used in this sentence:

"He is also an empath which allows him to understand human speech."

Empathy is the ability to feel the emotions and attitudes of another; in what way does it contribute to understanding an apparently foreign language, hence, human speech? Either the power's described wrong or the wrong word was used. If the latter is the problem then I suggest you check the info box, too. --208.127.64.67 07:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
