Lockjaw has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful animal heroes.[1][2][3]

Lockjaw made his live-action debut in the 2017 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series Inhumans.

Publication history edit

He first appeared in Fantastic Four #45 (December 1965), and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.[4]

Fictional character biography edit

Lockjaw was born on the island of Attilan (formerly in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually moved to the Moon). Many times he has brought Inhumans to Earth and back again. At times, his powers have been manipulated by evil forces, most usually by Maximus the Mad. Lockjaw and the Royal Family encountered Maximus' creation, the Trikon, and were driven from Attilan's Great Refuge in exile.[5]

Lockjaw first appeared as a member of the Inhumans when they attempted to retrieve Medusa from the outside world and take her back to Attilan. This led them into conflict with the Fantastic Four, the first humans they met, who were harboring Medusa after rescuing her from the villainous Frightful Four. Accordingly, Lockjaw is indirectly responsible for revealing the existence of Attilan to the outside world. They returned to Attilan and became trapped in Maximus' "negative zone" barrier around the Great Refuge.[6]

Lockjaw is able to escape and becomes separated from his city. He roams the country for some time, accidentally terrorizing the local citizens, until he meets up with Johnny Storm and Wyatt Wingfoot. He journeyed with the pair in their attempt to breach the "negative zone" barrier.[7] Before long, the Inhumans were freed from the "negative zone" barrier, and Lockjaw transported Crystal to New York, and brought Triton from Attilan to rescue Mister Fantastic.[8] Lockjaw was later compelled to return Crystal to Attilan by Maximus.[9]

With Crystal, Lockjaw was captured by Diablo.[10] They later rescued the injured Quicksilver.[11] Before long, Lockjaw attended the wedding of Quicksilver and Crystal.[12] He also brought the Fantastic Four to Attilan to battle Thraxton.[13]

At one point, Quicksilver and Thing witnessed what appeared to be Lockjaw, apparently a sentient being once mutated by Terrigen Mists, speaking to them. This convinces Quicksilver not to expose his daughter Luna to the Mists.[14] However, Lockjaw later brought Quicksilver to Washington, D.C., in search of X-Factor, and Quicksilver there stated that Lockjaw's sentience was actually a hoax perpetrated on the Thing by Karnak and Gorgon.[15]

Lockjaw brought the other Inhumans to Earth in search of Medusa when she fled Attilan to avoid a compulsory abortion. He also transported the injured Triton back to Attilan.[16] With Crystal, he later summoned the Avengers to help battle Thane Ector and the Brethren.[17] With the Avengers, he battled the Brethren.[18]

As noted in Ka-Zar #12, Lockjaw also travels to the Heroes Reborn universe with his Inhuman family. This visit lasts for about a year; all are returned successfully.[19]

Lockjaw is featured into the 2006 limited series Son of M. With the majority of the mutants on Earth having been rendered powerless, Quicksilver decides to steal the Inhumans mutagenic Terrigen Mists and re-power willing mutants. Lockjaw is convinced to help him on the mission. Traveling with Quicksilver's daughter Luna, they traverse the Earth, heading to such places as Genosha. The other Inhumans follow.[20]

Later, Lockjaw rejoins Black Bolt, Medusa and other Inhumans to assist a super-human strikeforce in taking down the confused Sentry.[21]

During the "Secret Invasion" storyline, Lockjaw assists his family tracking down Black Bolt, who had been captured by the Skrulls. Using technology gained from their allies the Kree, Lockjaw's abilities are upgraded, allowing him to teleport much farther.[22]

In 2009, Lockjaw received a four-issue mini-series titled Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers, teaming with Lockheed, Redwing, Ms. Lion (Aunt May's puppy from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends), Zabu, Niels the Cat/Hairball, and a new frog named Throg. This series involves Lockjaw bringing the Infinity Gauntlet together with the assistance of animal allies.[23] The series spawned two additional mini-series with the Pet Avengers.

During the "War of Kings" storyline, Lockjaw re-joins his Inhuman family for the conflicts that eventually led to them taking over the Kree empire. This leads to the seeming loss of Black Bolt despite Crystal and Lockjaw's best efforts.[24] This conflict also leads to the ravaging of the Shi'ar Empire. As his family determines who will rule, Lockheed is seen playing closely with Luna and assisting with Shi'ar recovery efforts.[25] Lockjaw again becomes involved with gathering the Infinity Gauntlet together when the Soul Gem is lost and later found.[26] Lockjaw was also sent by Medusa to keep an eye on recent Inhuman Kamala Khan,[27] and helps her in her battle against a cockatiel/human hybrid clone of Thomas Edison known as Inventor.[28]

During the Inhumans vs. X-Men storyline, Lockjaw was taking a nap when he is knocked out by Fantomex.[29]

At the time when Lockjaw was on a mission to free Black Bolt from the deep space torture prison, a flashback revealed that Lockjaw got his powers during an Inhuman experiment on canines.[30]

In the pages of "Death of the Inhumans", a faction of the Kree eventually initiated a murdering mission to bring Black Bolt to their ranks and across the stars as thousands of Inhumans were killed by Vox, the first of a new race of Super-Inhumans built by the Kree. Black Bolt quickly sent Lockjaw to bring his brother to him, however Vox had already reached New Arctilan and was fighting Maximus when Lockjaw arrived, and while the canine was able to temporarily take down the Super-Inhuman, the latter released his full power that not only burned down New Arctilan but in the process also apparently killed Lockjaw and Maximus.[31]

In reality, Maximus and Lockjaw were simply teleported to an unknown location where they were converted into brainwashed agents of the Kree. Maximus was later killed during a confrontation with his family.[32] During the Inhuman Royal Family's final assault on the Kree, Lockjaw was pitted against them along with a brainwashed Crystal. Lockjaw and Crystal were eventually freed from the Kree's control when Black Bolt used his powerful voice to destroy the equipment that was controlling them.[33]

Powers and abilities edit

Lockjaw can teleport himself and nearby living creatures and matter to any destination on the Earth or the Moon.[34] He can also open passages between dimensions. Energy barriers that are seemingly impenetrable to others seem to pose no problem to him. Lockjaw also has the ability to psionically trace a given "scent" across dimensional space. Lockjaw also once seemingly sensed danger from far off, when Doctor Doom had manipulated Silver Surfer's powers.[volume & issue needed] Lockjaw seemingly has "super-canine" strength in his jaw. Once he locked on to Thing's arm and Thing could not get him to let go.

In the Secret Invasion: Inhumans mini-series, the Royal Family enter into an alliance with the Kree to free Black Bolt from his Skrull captors. To that end, the Kree greatly enhance Lockjaw's teleportation powers, enabling him to teleport himself and others over vast interplanetary distances.[35]

Cultural impact and legacy edit

Critical reception edit

Liz Wyatt of CBR.com referred to Lockjaw as one of Marvel's "fan favorite animal companions," stating, "Lockjaw is perhaps the cutest Inhuman out there...though we might be biased on that count. Lockjaw is not only extremely adorable, loyal, and okay...he's massive as well, but he's also very useful. You see, Lockjaw can teleport almost as well as he can drool. Which is saying something! Lockjaw is a massive bulldog, and an Inhuman to boot. He's made friends and allies with more than one Marvel character, and we're not surprised by that fact. This is one dog who has plenty of room for love in his heart. And that is why we love him so much."[36] Chase Magnett of ComicBook.com called Lockjaw "one of the longest-lasting and most beloved super pets in existence," writing, "The bottom line with Lockjaw is that he's a very good dog. One of the best. If there were a We Rate Dogs Twitter in the Marvel universe, it would almost certainly give Lockjaw a 15/10. As a character, he reminds us of everything we love about our canine companions with an extra dose of superheroic powers and adventure on top. Lockjaw is loyal and loving, filled with fun, and there whenever his people need him. Whether you have a dog in your home or prefer to admire them from afar, the appeal of the species is obvious when looking at this big, jowled face. He's just such a good dog."[37] CA Staff of ComicsAlliance asserted, "It's hard to imagine anyone not loving Lockjaw. He's a huge puppy dog who teleports you to where you need to go! He's so smart that for a while the story was that he wasn't a dog at all — but thankfully that was retconned, because Lockjaw is the best dog, and not letting him be one kind of ruins him. He's loyal to the Inhuman Royal Family — he even has a tuning fork on his head to match his master — but he's also spent time with the Thing and Ms. Marvel, two of Marvel's best characters. who are made even better with Lockjaw around. He may not star in many stories of his own, but if you could magically wish one comics character to life and hang out with them, Lockjaw would be an excellent choice."[2] Simon Winter of WhatCulture said, "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."[38]

Literary reception edit

Volumes edit

Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers - 2009 edit

Marvel Comics announced that Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers #1 sold out in March 2009.[51][52]

Doug Zawisza of CBR.com called Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers #1 an "all ages tour de force," stating, "Branded with an "All Ages" tag, this book is one for all ages—older fans of the Walter Simonson era of "Thor", fans of "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends", X-Men fans, or just Marvel comics enthusiasts. This book serves as a reminder that not every comic needs to be hard-coded into continuity, so put that slide rule down and grab a copy of this book, as it brings an enthusiastic story to readers of the Marvel Universe. [...] This is a title that has come out of nowhere and deserves some recognition as it takes less than Z-list characters and offers an enjoyable tale that can be shared with long-term fans and younger readers alike. Eliopoulos gives of these characters each a voice and a reason to join up, but among them Lockheed really touched me in a way I hadn't thought of much before now."[53] Daniel Crown of IGN gave Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers #1 a grade of 6.5 out of 10, asserting, "Ultimately, it's somewhat refreshing to see a child-friendly title like this one firmly set in the Marvel mythos proper. Lord knows the comic industry, and specifically the superhero genre, needs more all-ages comics. And to that end, Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers is just cute enough to skate by for adult readers, and should be more than acceptable for any little tyke who makes it a habit to ride their father or mother's leg into the comic store every Wednesday."[54]

Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed - 2010 edit

According to Diamond Comics Distributors, Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed #1 was the 195th best selling comic book in March 2010.[55][56]

Doug Zawisza of CBR.com said, "The Pets are fabulously rendered by Ig Guara, the artistic beast master from the previous series. Guara, thankfully, has returned for another go at the Pets, bringing expression and emotion to these critters while never failing to deliver fantastic backgrounds, foregrounds, and cursory characters. This issue only has two panels with human beings in it, but with Guara drawing Eliopoulos' story, there is certainly no shortage of characterization. Sotomayor and Roberts color the living daylights out of this book, making the frogs look like amphibians, and setting off Ms. Lion's fur, giving each animal an almost tangible difference in their appearance. Sabino's lettering is equally well-suited to this story, giving many of the animals a different tone and tenor. The rumble of the hippos is different from the resonance of Hairball's speech. The mystery of Frog Thor coupled with the last page reveal are a bit more than one would expect from an "All Ages" book, but it just proves that this is truly "All Ages" and not "intended for younger readers, but hoping older readers think it's cute enough to pay for." Well done, I say. A single page Hulk-Pet Avengers story ends this issue with the characters teaming up with Blue Hulk to go to Ice Cream Mountain. It's silly and fun, and nice little extra for the younger readers written by Audrey Loeb and drawn by Dario Brizuela."[57] Kevin Lee of Screen Rant included the Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed comic book series in their "10 best super-pets comics storylines" list, saying, "A thought-provoking follow-up to Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers (2009), Unleashed #1-4 (2010) sees the Pet Avengers assemble when their mystical connection to Throg is lost. Eventually, they track Throg down, discovering the warped Golden One is destroying the mythical realm and plotting an incursion into the Earth realm. The dynamic creator duo of Super Pets, Eliopoulos and Guara, come together in this imaginative tale of finding oneself, friends, and the power of love when fueled by imagination."[58]

Lockjaw - 2018 edit

According to Diamond Comics Distributors, Lockjaw #1 was the 139th best selling comic book in February 2018.[59][60] Lockjaw #2 was the 190th best selling comic book in March 2018.[61][62]

Brandon Davis of ComicBook.com gave Lockjaw #1 a grade of 4 out of 5, stating, "A tale of man's best friend kicks off as Lockjaw branches from the reins of Black Bolt and his Attilan home for a planet-trotting adventure. Daniel Kibblesmith pairs the oversized teleporting pup with once-hero D-Man for an adventure which will certainly teach them to rely on each other, possibly one more than the other, in an unnecessary but potentially quite fun adventure."[63] Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave Lockjaw #1 a grade of 8.6 out of 10, saying, " By now readers should have a certain idea of what to expect from a comic about Lockjaw. He's a gigantic, teleporting dog with a habit of getting into wacky adventures when he isn't busy teleporting the Inhumans to and fro. Tonally, we're not exactly talking The Dark Knight Returns here. But while this new miniseries is every bit as goofy as one would expect, it also manages to weave in a surprising amount of emotional depth in the process. [...] It's understandable if readers are feeling burnt out on the Inhumans at this point. However, Lockjaw #1 offers an entertaining diversion from the norm that places more emphasis on Lockjaw's new partner than the trusty canine himself. This issue delivers all the wacky superhero fun one would expect, but it anchors that fun with a surprisingly deep look at a fallen hero in crisis."[64]

Other versions edit

Age of Apocalypse edit

In the "Age of Apocalypse" reality where Apocalypse had conquered North America, Apocalypse approached the Inhumans to gain access to the Terrigen Mist. However, the Inhumans refused to deliver such material. Maximus made a secret deal with Apocalypse. Maximus would give the Terrigen Mist to Apocalypse if the High Lord granted him a position in the Horsemen. Maximus then took over the Inhumans Royal Family, slaying all those who stood in his way, including Lockjaw. As the new Death, Maximus created twisted clones based on the Inhuman Royal Family that were loyal to him. The clone of Lockjaw clashed with the X-Men when they traveled to the Blue Area of the Moon to try to kill Apocalypse during a time when he was recuperating there. Lockjaw used its tuning fork to knock out Morph. The X-Men freed themselves and defeated Maximus. Despite the Inhumans' initial victory, Lockjaw and all of the Royal Family were killed when the Ship was destroyed by Sunfire.[65]

Earth X edit

In the alternate future of Earth X, Lockjaw is shot by some gaseous bullet and murdered by Maximus. His teleportation-forehead assembly is seemingly the only part of him that has survived. It is used by Black Bolt and the other Inhumans to investigate happenings on Earth.

Marvel Knights 2099 edit

Lockjaw is one of the few Royal family members to survive to the year 2099; Maximus the Mad had slain the rest. The Inhumans had established themselves on a space station also called Attilan.[66]

Marvel Zombies edit

Lockjaw appears zombified along with the Royal Family of the Inhumans, creating a portal for them to meet with the Kingpin.[67] He is later seen trying to attack Machine Man. The heroic android tricks Lockjaw into teleporting to the mainstream Marvel Universe. Lockjaw is tricked into eating an explosive-laden human brain. He is destroyed in the explosion.[68] Another Lockjaw is seen when the zombie virus spreads to "Earth Z". He too is zombiefied and assists in slaying the "Warbound". He was captured by Machine Man, Ultron and Jocasta.[69]

Ultimate Marvel edit

The Ultimate Marvel incarnation of Lockjaw appears in Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual #1. In this incarnation, he has teleportation powers as well. He leaves the Inhumans' Himalayan refuge with Crystal, who is running away because she was being forced to marry Black Bolt's brother, Maximus (only Crystal suspects he is mad). Lockjaw assists in saving Crystal from her pursuing guards but they eventually drag her back home anyway. They leave him behind and he brings the Fantastic Four for assistance. This is not well received as most of Inhuman society severely dislikes any outsiders. Black Bolt ends up destroying the evacuated Attilan simply because the Four "contaminated" it. Several of the Inhumans indicate they had conspired for Lockjaw to be left behind in the human world.[70]

In other media edit

After helping the Royal Family escape Attilan when Maximus starts a coup d'état, Lockjaw is stunned by Pulssus and imprisoned in the Quiet Room while Crystal is placed under house arrest.[77] Thanks to a trick to get away from Maximus, Crystal revives him with her powers and they escape to Hawaii, but Lockjaw is injured by a passing motorist named Dave.[78] He is revived to full health by Dave's ex-girlfriend Audrey.[79] Afterwards, he teleports Crystal, Black Bolt, and Medusa back to Karnak upon reuniting with them.[80] Lockjaw then returns his family back to Attilan to stop Maximus[81] and finally returns them back to Earth when Attilan begins to fall.[82]

Film edit

Video games edit

  • A statue of Lockjaw appears in Spider-Man (2018). The developers originally wanted to include Wall Street's Charging Bull sculpture, but replaced it with Lockjaw to avoid legal issues.[88]

Non-fiction edit

  • The debate over Lockjaw's sentience is discussed in Peter David's non-fiction book Writing For Comics.

In the context, he has accompanied Crystal to the baseball game.[90]

it December 2012 He first appeared in Fantastic Four 45 December 1965 and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby 4 Fictional character biography editLockjaw was born on the island of Attilan formerly in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually moved to the Moon Many times he has brought Inhumans to Earth and back again At times his powers have been manipulated by evil forces most usually by Maximus the Mad Lockjaw and the Royal Family encountered Maximus creation the Trikon and were driven from Attilan s Great Refuge in exile 5 Lockjaw first appeared as a member of the Inhumans when they attempted to retrieve Medusa from the outside world and take her back to Attilan This led them into conflict with the Fantastic Four the first humans they met who were harboring Medusa after rescuing her from the villainous Frightful Four Accordingly Lockjaw is indirectly responsible for revealing the existence of Attilan to the outside world They returned to Attilan and became trapped in Maximus negative zone barrier around the Great Refuge 6 Lockjaw is able to escape and becomes separated from his city He roams the country for some time accidentally terrorizing the local citizens until he meets up with Johnny Storm and Wyatt Wingfoot He journeyed with the pair in their attempt to breach the negative zone barrier 7 Before long the Inhumans were freed from the negative zone barrier and Lockjaw transported Crystal to New York and brought Triton from Attilan to rescue Mister Fantastic 8 Lockjaw was later compelled to return Crystal to Attilan by Maximus 9 With Crystal Lockjaw was captured by Diablo 10 They later rescued the injured Quicksilver 11 Before long Lockjaw attended the wedding of Quicksilver and Crystal 12 He also brought the Fantastic Four to Attilan to battle Thraxton 13 At one point Quicksilver and Thing witnessed what appeared to be Lockjaw apparently a sentient being once mutated by Terrigen Mists speaking to them This convinces Quicksilver not to expose his daughter Luna to the Mists 14 However Lockjaw later brought Quicksilver to Washington D C in search of X Factor and Quicksilver there stated that Lockjaw s sentience was actually a hoax perpetrated on the Thing by Karnak and Gorgon 15 Lockjaw brought the other Inhumans to Earth in search of Medusa when she fled Attilan to avoid a compulsory abortion He also transported the injured Triton back to Attilan 16 With Crystal he later summoned the Avengers to help battle Thane Ector and the Brethren 17 With the Avengers he battled the Brethren 18 As noted in Ka Zar 12 Lockjaw also travels to the Heroes Reborn universe with his Inhuman family This visit lasts for about a year all are returned successfully 19 Lockjaw is featured into the 2006 limited series Son of M With the majority of the mutants on Earth having been rendered powerless Quicksilver decides to steal the Inhumans mutagenic Terrigen Mists and re power willing mutants Lockjaw is convinced to help him on the mission Traveling with Quicksilver s daughter Luna they traverse the Earth heading to such places as Genosha The other Inhumans follow 20 Later Lockjaw rejoins Black Bolt Medusa and other Inhumans to assist a super human strikeforce in taking down the confused Sentry 21 During the Secret Invasion storyline Lockjaw assists his family tracking down Black Bolt who had been captured by the Skrulls Using technology gained from their allies the Kree Lockjaw s abilities are upgraded allowing him to teleport much farther 22 In 2009 Lockjaw received a four issue mini series titled Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers teaming with Lockheed Redwing Ms Lion Aunt May s puppy from Spider Man and His Amazing Friends Zabu Niels the Cat Hairball and a new frog named Throg This series involves Lockjaw bringing the Infinity Gauntlet together with the assistance of animal allies 23 The series spawned two additional mini series with the Pet Avengers During the War of Kings storyline Lockjaw re joins his Inhuman family for the conflicts that eventually led to them taking over the Kree empire This leads to the seeming loss of Black Bolt despite Crystal and Lockjaw s best efforts 24 This conflict also leads to the ravaging of the Shi ar Empire As his family determines who will rule Lockheed is seen playing closely with Luna and assisting with Shi ar recovery efforts 25 Lockjaw again becomes involved with gathering the Infinity Gauntlet together when the Soul Gem is lost and later found 26 Lockjaw was also sent by Medusa to keep an eye on recent Inhuman Kamala Khan 27 and helps her in her battle against a cockatiel human hybrid clone of Thomas Edison known as Inventor 28 During the Inhumans vs X Men storyline Lockjaw was taking a nap when he is knocked out by Fantomex 29 At the time when Lockjaw was on a mission to free Black Bolt from the deep space torture prison a flashback revealed that Lockjaw got his powers during an Inhuman experiment on canines 30 In the pages of Death of the Inhumans a faction of the Kree eventually initiated a murdering mission to bring Black Bolt to their ranks and across the stars as thousands of Inhumans were killed by Vox the first of a new race of Super Inhumans built by the Kree Black Bolt quickly sent Lockjaw to bring his brother to him however Vox had already reached New Arctilan and was fighting Maximus when Lockjaw arrived and while the canine was able to temporarily take down the Super Inhuman the latter released his full power that not only burned down New Arctilan but in the process also apparently killed Lockjaw and Maximus 31 In reality Maximus and Lockjaw were simply teleported to an unknown location where they were converted into brainwashed agents of the Kree Maximus was later killed during a confrontation with his family 32 During the Inhuman Royal Family s final assault on the Kree Lockjaw was pitted against them along with a brainwashed Crystal Lockjaw and Crystal were eventually freed from the Kree s control when Black Bolt used his powerful voice to destroy the equipment that was controlling them 33 Powers and abilities editLockjaw can teleport himself and nearby living creatures and matter to any destination on the Earth or the Moon 34 He can also open passages between dimensions Energy barriers that are seemingly impenetrable to others seem to pose no problem to him Lockjaw also has the ability to psionically trace a given scent across dimensional space Lockjaw also once seemingly sensed danger from far off when Doctor Doom had manipulated Silver Surfer s powers volume amp issue needed Lockjaw seemingly has super canine strength in his jaw Once he locked on to Thing s arm and Thing could not get him to let go In the Secret Invasion Inhumans mini series the Royal Family enter into an alliance with the Kree to free Black Bolt from his Skrull captors To that end the Kree greatly enhance Lockjaw s teleportation powers enabling him to teleport himself and others over vast interplanetary distances 35 Cultural impact and legacy editCritical reception edit Liz Wyatt of CBR com referred to Lockjaw as one of Marvel s fan favorite animal companions stating Lockjaw is perhaps the cutest Inhuman out there though we might be biased on that count Lockjaw is not only extremely adorable loyal and okay he s massive as well but he s also very useful You see Lockjaw can teleport almost as well as he can drool Which is saying something Lockjaw is a massive bulldog and an Inhuman to boot He s made friends and allies with more than one Marvel character and we re not surprised by that fact This is one dog who has plenty of room for love in his heart And that is why we love him so much 36 Chase Magnett of ComicBook com called Lockjaw one of the longest lasting and most beloved super pets in existence writing The bottom line with Lockjaw is that he s a very good dog One of the best If there were a We Rate Dogs Twitter in the Marvel universe it would almost certainly give Lockjaw a 15 10 As a character he reminds us of everything we love about our canine companions with an extra dose of superheroic powers and adventure on top Lockjaw is loyal and loving filled with fun and there whenever his people need him Whether you have a dog in your home or prefer to admire them from afar the appeal of the species is obvious when looking at this big jowled face He s just such a good dog 37 CA Staff of ComicsAlliance asserted It s hard to imagine anyone not loving Lockjaw He s a huge puppy dog who teleports you to where you need to go He s so smart that for a while the story was that he wasn t a dog at all but thankfully that was retconned because Lockjaw is the best dog and not letting him be one kind of ruins him He s loyal to the Inhuman Royal Family he even has a tuning fork on his head to match his master but he s also spent time with the Thing and Ms Marvel two of Marvel s best characters who are made even better with Lockjaw around He may not star in many stories of his own but if you could magically wish one comics character to life and hang out with them Lockjaw would be an excellent choice 2 Simon Winter of WhatCulture said 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 38 Accolades edit In 2009 TIME included Lockjaw in their Top 10 Oddest Marvel Characters list 39 In 2014 ComicBook com ranked Lockjaw 7th in their 10 Greatest Animals in Comics list 1 In 2015 IGN included Lockjaw in their 7 Inhumans We Want on Agents of S H I E L D list 40 In 2016 ComicsAlliance ranked Lockjaw 1st in their Marvel s

Syfy ranked Lockjaw 6th in their Marvel and DC s super pets ranked list 48 In 2022 Collider included Lockjaw in their 10 Most Iconic Super Pets in Comics list 3 In 2022 The A V Club included Lockjaw in their 21 top superhero pets list 49 In 2022 CBR com ranked Lockjaw 2nd in their 15 Coolest Pets In Comic Books list 50 Literary reception editVolumes edit Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers 2009 edit Marvel Comics announced that Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers 1 sold out in March 2009 51 52 Doug Zawisza of CBR com called Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers 1 an all ages tour de force stating Branded with an All Ages tag this book is one for all ages older fans of the Walter Simonson era of Thor fans of Spider Man and His Amazing Friends X Men fans or just Marvel comics enthusiasts This book serves as a reminder that not every comic needs to be hard coded into continuity so put that slide rule down and grab a copy of this book as it brings an enthusiastic story to readers of the Marvel Universe This is a title that has come out of nowhere and deserves some recognition as it takes less than Z list characters and offers an enjoyable tale that can be shared with long term fans and younger readers alike Eliopoulos gives of these characters each a voice and a reason to join up but among them Lockheed really touched me in a way I hadn t thought of much before now 53 Daniel Crown of IGN gave Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers 1 a grade of 6 5 out of 10 asserting Ultimately it s somewhat refreshing to see a child friendly title like this one firmly set in the Marvel mythos proper Lord knows the comic industry and specifically the superhero genre needs more all ages comics And to that end Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers is just cute enough to skate by for adult readers and should be more than acceptable for any little tyke who makes it a habit to ride their father or mother s leg into the comic store every Wednesday 54 Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed 2010 edit According to Diamond Comics Distributors Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed 1 was the 195th best selling comic book in March 2010 55 56 Doug Zawisza of CBR com said The Pets are fabulously rendered by Ig Guara the artistic beast master from the previous series Guara thankfully has returned for another go at the Pets bringing expression and emotion to these critters while never failing to deliver fantastic backgrounds foregrounds and cursory characters This issue only has two panels with human beings in it but with Guara drawing Eliopoulos story there is certainly no shortage of characterization Sotomayor and Roberts color the living daylights out of this book making the frogs look like amphibians and setting off Ms Lion s fur giving each animal an almost tangible difference in their appearance Sabino s lettering is equally well suited to this story giving many of the animals a different tone and tenor The rumble of the hippos is different from the resonance of Hairball s speech The mystery of Frog Thor coupled with the last page reveal are a bit more than one would expect from an All Ages book but it just proves that this is truly All Ages and not intended for younger readers but hoping older readers think it s cute enough to pay for Well done I say A single page Hulk Pet Avengers story ends this issue with the characters teaming up with Blue Hulk to go to Ice Cream Mountain It s silly and fun and nice little extra for the younger readers written by Audrey Loeb and drawn by Dario Brizuela 57 Kevin Lee of Screen Rant included the Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed comic book series in their 10 best super pets comics storylines list saying A thought provoking follow up to Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers 2009 Unleashed 1 4 2010 sees the Pet Avengers assemble when their mystical connection to Throg is lost Eventually they track Throg down discovering the warped Golden One is destroying the mythical realm and plotting an incursion into the Earth realm The dynamic creator duo of Super Pets Eliopoulos and Guara come together in this imaginative tale of finding oneself friends and the power of love when fueled by imagination 58 Lockjaw 2018 edit According to Diamond Comics Distributors Lockjaw 1 was the 139th best selling comic book in February 2018 59 60 Lockjaw 2 was the 190th best selling comic book in March 2018 61 62 Brandon Davis of ComicBook com gave Lockjaw 1 a grade of 4 out of 5 stating A tale of man s best friend kicks off as Lockjaw branches from the reins of Black Bolt and his Attilan home for a planet trotting adventure Daniel Kibblesmith pairs the oversized teleporting pup with once hero D Man for an adventure which will certainly teach them to rely on each other possibly one more than the other in an unnecessary but potentially quite fun adventure 63 Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave Lockjaw 1 a grade of 8 6 out of 10 saying By now readers should have a certain idea of what to expect from a comic about Lockjaw He s a gigantic teleporting dog with a habit of getting into wacky adventures when he isn t busy teleporting the Inhumans to and fro Tonally we re not exactly talking The Dark Knight Returns here But while this new miniseries is every bit as goofy as one would expect it also manages to weave in a surprising amount of emotional depth in the process It s understandable if readers are feeling burnt out on the Inhumans at this point However Lockjaw 1 offers an entertaining diversion from the norm that places more emphasis on Lockjaw s new partner than the trusty canine himself This issue delivers all the wacky superhero fun one would expect but it anchors that fun with a surprisingly deep look at a fallen hero in crisis 64 Other versions editAge of Apocalypse edit In the Age of Apocalypse reality where Apocalypse had conquered North America Apocalypse approached the Inhumans to gain access to the Terrigen Mist However the Inhumans refused to deliver such material Maximus made a secret deal with Apocalypse Maximus would give the Terrigen Mist to Apocalypse if the High Lord granted him a position in the Horsemen Maximus then took over the Inhumans Royal Family slaying all those who stood in his way including Lockjaw As the new Death Maximus created twisted clones based on the Inhuman Royal Family that were loyal to him The clone of Lockjaw clashed with the X Men when they traveled to the Blue Area of the Moon to try to kill Apocalypse during a time when he was recuperating there Lockjaw used its tuning fork to knock out Morph The X Men freed themselves and defeated Maximus Despite the Inhumans initial victory Lockjaw and all of the Royal Family were killed when the Ship was destroyed by Sunfire 65 Earth X edit In the alternate future of Earth X Lockjaw is shot by some gaseous bullet and murdered by Maximus His teleportation forehead assembly is seemingly the only part of him that has survived It is used by Black Bolt and the other Inhumans to investigate happenings on Earth Marvel Knights 2099 edit Lockjaw is one of the few Royal family members to survive to the year 2099 Maximus the Mad had slain the rest The Inhumans had established themselves on a space station also called Attilan 66 Marvel Zombies edit Lockjaw appears zombified along with the Royal Family of the Inhumans creating a portal for them to meet with the Kingpin 67 He is later seen trying to attack Machine Man The heroic android tricks Lockjaw into teleporting to the mainstream Marvel Universe Lockjaw is tricked into eating an explosive laden human brain He is destroyed in the explosion 68 Another Lockjaw is seen when the zombie virus spreads to Earth Z He too is zombiefied and assists in slaying the Warbound He was captured by Machine Man Ultron and Jocasta 69 Ultimate Marvel edit The Ultimate Marvel incarnation of Lockjaw appears in Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual 1 In this incarnation he has teleportation powers as well He leaves the Inhumans Himalayan refuge with Crystal who is running away because she was being forced to marry Black Bolt s brother Maximus only Crystal suspects he is mad Lockjaw assists in saving Crystal from her pursuing guards but they eventually drag her back home anyway They leave him behind and he brings the Fantastic Four for assistance This is not well received as most of Inhuman society severely dislikes any outsiders Black Bolt ends up destroying the evacuated Attilan simply because the Four contaminated it Several of the Inhumans indicate they had conspired for Lockjaw to be left behind in the human world 70 In other media
