History[]
Early life[]
Lobo had no fixed home. He had some altercations with members of the Justice League.
2016[]

The Light anonymously hired Lobo to further their plans. He was to travel to Earth and capture or kill the Krolotean posing as Tseng. The contract specified that Lobo was to "put on a show for the locals", and he was happy to oblige, recklessly forcing his way through police and security forces. Despite interference from both Batgirl and Wonder Girl, Lobo successfully captured his quarry and returned to space.
2018[]
|
Lobo was approached by a Contract-Bot that offered him a job. Initially uninterested, Lobo was persuaded by this case and accepted the contract to head to Earth and assassinate Forager.
|
Arriving on Earth, he caught Nightwing and his group by surprise. He voiced his assignment to kill Forager and told the other heroes to leave, though they refused and engaged him in battle. Lobo fought the heroes while shrugging off their many attacks with his great resilience and strength.
He refused to divulge the identity of his employer but confirmed it was neither Mantis nor Ma'alefa'ak. After being annoyed by their interference, Lobo turned to finish Halo and Helga Jace but Forager came to the rescue. Believing he caught the Bug, he began to attack him and knocked away the other heroes as they try to intervene and crushed Forager's shell. With his contract seemingly completed, Lobo taunted the heroes and escaped the area on his space bike. He was unaware that Forager shed his exoskeleton and faked his death.
Sometime later, Lobo returned to Owings Mills where he killed a miniature clone of himself born from his lost finger. After dealing with the situation, he proceeded to walk off while throwing a cigarette onto the puddle of blood which ignited.

- Invulnerability: Lobo withstood a hail of gunfire, as well as blows from Wonder Girl and explosives planted by Batgirl with no apparent ill effects. He took a barrage of attacks of lava, lightning, and cannon fire with no problem. He wasn't even fazed by losing one of his fingers.
- Regeneration: He was able to regrow a severed finger in a matter of months.
- Duplication: Lobo's severed finger grew into a miniature clone of Lobo.
