Lobo is an alien from the planet Czarnia who works as an interstellar mercenary. Although introduced as a hardened, rarely used noir villain in the 1980s, Lobo languished in limbo until the early 1990s when he was revived as a one-note gag. Lobo enjoyed a short run as one of DC’s most popular characters throughout the 1990s.
The nineties version of Lobo was apparently intended to be an over-the-top parody of Marvel Comics antihero Wolverine. Ironically, in an issue of Deadpool, another Marvel series, Lobo himself was parodied in the likeness of Dirty Wolff, a large blue skinned man who drove a demonic motorcycle. Wolff's face was obscured by a muzzle over the course of the issue, at the end of which he was killed in an explosion.) The modern version of Lobo has the dress and attitude of a caricatured version of the Hells Angels and has an extreme love of bloodshed and destruction. He has been featured in a number of comic books noteworthy for their ironic portrayals of over-the-top violence.
His superhuman (or super-Czarnian) abilities include limited invunerability, enormous strength(which, however, seems to vary greatly depending on the writer), enabling him to fight beings such as Superman and withstand explosive blasts, the ability to survive unaided in space, a healing factor that heals ludicrous amounts of damage, an equally ludicrous sense of smell which allows him to track objects between solar systems, and the ability to regrow an entire new Lobo from each drop of his own spilled blood. This last ability was removed by Vril Dox. However, Lobo was seen regenerating out of a pool of blood in 52 #20 and Lobo himself has supposedly died many times. He still retains his ban from both Heaven and Hell, and is thus immortal.
Despite his violent and loutish nature, Lobo has displayed a genius level intellect such as when he created a virulent plague of immense proportions (and its antidote) in about a week's time, and obliterated his entire species (with the very ironic and unfortunate exception of his 1st grade teacher) when he set it loose on Czarnia.
He at times uses high grade weaponry and explosives.
