[edit] History
It was once believed that he was born humanoid and was changed by the Terrigen Mist, 'revealed' when he spoke to the Thing, but this was later described by Quicksilver to merely be a joke that Karnak and Gorgon were playing on the Thing. This seems to be confirmed through a scene in Son of M #4 from Lockjaw's point of view, including the words "It is too much for his limited intelligence to deal with," that seems to imply his intelligence is indeed that of a normal dog. It should be noted that "Son of M" was narrated by Quicksilver and is subject to his point of view, not an omniscient third-party.
[edit] Powers
Lockjaw seemingly has "supercanine" strength for a dog his age and size. At one time he locked on to the Thing's arm and the Thing could not get him to let go. Lockjaw can also teleport to anywhere he wants, from the Earth to the Moon, and open passages between dimensions.
[edit] In other media
Lockjaw appears in the 1994 Fantastic Four cartoon series where he helps the Human Torch get the Impossible Man to The Great Refuge and away from the Super-Skrull.
Lockjaw appears as a non-playable hero, along with the other Inhumans, in the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, sending the heroes to the Shi'ar galaxy and Skrull homeworld to gather implents necessary to defeating a divinely-empowered Dr. Doom. Also though not there in appearance, the game implys that the mini-portals used in the game for mid-point to homebase transport are made by Lockjaw.
