Lobo (3)

Biography

Lobo is an antihero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, and first appeared in Omega Men #3 (June 1983). He is an alien from the planet Czarnia, and works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. Lobo was first introduced as a hardened villain in the 1980s, but he soon fell out of use with writers. He remained in limbo until his revival as a bounty hunter with his own comic in the early 1990s. One of the key factors in this revival was considered to be the distinct and influential artwork of Simon Bisley, whose exaggerated and dynamic style helped redefine the character and significantly contributed to his popularity. Writers attempted to use Lobo as a parody of the 1990s trend towards "grim and gritty" superhero stories, but he was instead enthusiastically accepted by fans of the trend. This popularity led to the character having a much higher profile in DC Comics stories from then on, as well as starring roles in various series in the decades since. Lobo has been adapted into media outside comics. Brad Garrett, David Sobolov, John DiMaggio, and Fred Tatasciore, among others, have voiced the character in animation and video games. Lobo made his live-action debut in Krypton (2018–2019), portrayed by Emmett J. Scanlan, and made his cinematic debut in the DC Universe film Supergirl (2026), portrayed by Jason Momoa.
