Biography
Lockheed
Sometime after leaving Excalibur, Lockheed and Kitty became separated, each believing the other to be dead. On his own, Lockheed travelled around England, where he soon caused quite a stir in a small village. The locals, believing him to be a demon, chased after Lockheed and would have killed him had it not been for the intervention of two young witches. The girls seemed nice and, though they took him home and cared for him, Lockheed failed to notice how much everyone else feared them. When the girls’ nemesis, a fellow witch, confronted the two, they had the idea of setting their new pet on her. Lockheed launched a torrent of flames at her but, when she saw he didn’t want to hurt her, she reached out to him with kindness. The other girls were angry that Lockheed didn’t do as they asked and struck him with stones, causing him to singe them for their wickedness. This new girl informed Lockheed that the person he thought he had lost was actually alive and well. Bidding farewell to his new friend, Lockheed set off across the ocean to find Kitty.

At some point Lockheed became aware of a problem that was going on back on his home world. He aligned himself with SWORD, the Sentient World Observation and Response Department, who offered to look into the situation in return for his help. Lockheed agreed and was asked to secretly report on the goings-on within the X-Men and alert SWORD if anything happened that would require their attention. (Astonishing X-Men v3 #22)
Lockheed was inconsolable over the loss of Kitty and what made it worse was that they had parted ways without clearing the air. He spent more time on SWORD’s Peak space station and even started drinking heavily to numb his pain. He had hoped that SWORD’s technologies would allow for a way to retrieve Kitty from deep space, but Agent Brand told him that nothing they could do would bring Kitty back. The only bright side was that reports had come in of the bullet still phasing through asteroids, indicating Kitty was still alive. This offered little comfort to Lockheed, causing him briefly to contemplate striking up a partnership with the deadly robot Unit to get Kitty back, though he backed out at the last minute. Regardless of his disappointment with SWORD, Lockheed still stuck around and, when Agent Brand’s criminal brother was kidnapped off the Peak, Lockheed joined his boss and Beast to retrieve him.
