In the companion series Spider-Man and the Secret Wars, it is shown that Lockheed spent some time patrolling Denver, Colorado, which had been taken to Battleworld as well, protecting its citizens from alien attack. She seemingly vanished from existence when Lockheed rejected her, though she eventually resurfaced. This second dragon accompanied Lockheed and his allies to Earth, but she grew to gigantic size upon arrival and rampaged across Tokyo.

Lockheed occasionally accompanies Illyana after she joins the X-Men's "junior team", the New Mutants, including an adventure where the two encounter Brood-controlled clones of the X-Men. To a lesser degree, Lockheed also bonds with Illyana Rasputin, who, after being abducted into the dimension of Limbo (also known as Otherplace) by the sorcerer Belasco, had aged into a teenager, manifested her own mutant powers, and been installed as Kitty's roommate.

Here, Kitty meets a cat-sized purple dragon who resembles the creature from her fairy tale, which she also names "Lockheed". Not long afterward, the X-Men are captured by the alien race, the Brood, and taken to a Brood-colonized planet. One such character was a giant black dragon named "Lockheed", who was based on the X-Men's modified Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird jet aircraft. ![]() The story recasts the X-Men, including the recently deceased Jean Grey, in the roles of fairy tale characters.
