Larger than other figures in the JLU series, the Lobo figure features multiple points of articulation. Originating as a comparatively peripheral character in the pages of The Omega Men, Lobo was ultimately expanded to semi-caricature outsized dimensions, and designated as a wide-ranging Czarnian bounty hunter, the last of his kind with immense strength and durability sufficient for him to battle the likes of Superman on near-equal terms. Lobo’s defining characteristic is his uncompromising preference for indiscriminate carnage. In the Animated Super episode, “The Main Man”, Lobo lured Superman into the captive custody of the creature called the Preserver; only to be similarly captured himself.
Eventually escaping from their native habitat cells, both Lobo and Superman were forced into a tentative alliance when the seemingly physically innocuous Preserver revealed its monstrous true form. Later, in the Justice League episode, “Hereafter”, Lobo returned to Earth in the wake of Superman’s apparent death and belligerently offered his services to the Justice League as a replacement for those of Superman.
