APPEARANCE: Here
PERSONALITY:

Loud. That is the easiest way to sum up Lobo. Abrasive and foul-mouthed, Lobo is far from what anyone would consider X-Men material. Frankly, Professor Xavier is inclined to agree. But since the Main Man owes no loyalty to anyone and works as a mercenary, it's generally agreed that it’s better to have him working for the X-Men than doing anything else. And as Lobo likes to claim, “I’m one of them, whaddya call ‘em, good sombreros. These kids are all orphans. They need a good role model, ya know?”

He might very well be considered pure evil if it was not for the fact Lobo doesn’t align himself with any side one way or another. He’s an incredibly selfish person who is only out for his own gain and pleasure. However despite his lack of scruples with carnage, he does have a sense of honor. Primarily he considers his ‘word’ to be his ‘bond’, meaning that he’ll never double cross a client (unless they double cross him). He doesn’t steal, because he prefers to think of himself as a legitimate businessman. However he is highly destructive and pays little mind to the lives he ruins with his penchant for collateral damage (except in those instances someone fines him and forces him to pay up.)

All in all, Lobo is not the most gifted of mutants out there when it comes to intelligence. He’s dense and tends not to notice how much people actually hate him. He’s arrogant and thinks of himself as being an extremely good catch and God’s gift to women. He tells jokes that only he thinks are funny and laughs when other people get hurt. But in spite of being an incredible idiot, he’s something of a genius when it comes to warfare. Ask him to re-assemble a machine gun or disarm a bomb and he’s definitely your man. Ask him to record tonight’s episode of Glee and you’ll have a crater where your DVR was.

Although he doesn’t exactly feel guilty over things, he is well aware that he’s one horrible bastiche that deserves anything he gets. Consequently he will often make misguided attempts to make ‘penance’ with God or whatever other deity seems convenient, usually by doing something for the common good. In the past, he’d visit orphans and give them free cigarettes or he’d grab a homeless man and yell at a shopkeeper to hire the hobo until the frightened manager would relent and agree to it. Or maybe he’d bust open a pet shop and free all the animals or toss an old woman across the street. Real charitable works and the like. It doesn’t happen often, but he feels damn good about himself when he does.

As it is, he joined the X-Men under the notion that he’s doing God’s work now, which he’s convinced is just what he needs to get himself a place past the pearly gates and all that crud. He still does mercenary and bounty hunter work on the side, but he never takes jobs against the Institute, though he will sometimes insist Xavier match the price of whatever he was offered to bring him in.

POWERS/ABILITIES:

Super Strength - Although not the most powerful of mutants in the world, Lobo is incredibly strong to the extent he can easily lift and toss around cars like they weigh nothing to him. While he wouldn’t win at arm wrestling with the Hulk, he’s easily strong enough to do what he wants and get what he wants.

Invulnerability - Lobo is resilient enough that all but the most powerful of blows do nothing to him. In fact, many angry women have tried smacking him in the face and pulled her hand back, realizing it was like hitting a brick wall. He is not completely invulnerable and strong enough blows can hurt him. But even if they do...

Rapid Regeneration -Lobo heals fast. Very fast. While some other healers probably do have him beat (like Wolverine), Lobo can still manage to heal from just about anything that’s left of him. It’s speculated that his regeneration renders him immune to the effects of aging, but since nobody can figure out how old he is (him included), there’s no way of knowing yet.

Super Scent - Lobo’s sense of smell is so acute that once he has someone’s scent, he can track them anywhere on the planet, no matter what route they take.

Beyond his powers, Lobo is fairly decent fighter, but his bar brawl style of battle is rather unrefined, since he doesn’t often run into combatants on his level. Consequently, speedy fighters are a pain in the ass for him. His preferred weaponry is simple stuff, like crowbars or hooked chains. He has an electric gun he stole from the MRD when they tried to bring him in, but Xavier doesn’t allow him to bring it on the premises.

Amazingly enough, Lobo is something of a mechanical genius when it comes to weaponry and explosives and even poisons. Even more alarmingly, it has nothing to do with his mutant powers. He just happens to have a natural aptitude for understanding things, but he only ever uses this mental prowess in matters of destruction. However, because of his knowledge and general indestructible nature, he’s often called in for ‘bomb squad’ duties to disarm explosives.

His only two weaknesses are airborne toxins and gases (which are able to knock him out easily) and his love for dolphins, which he’s easily distracted by.

AU HISTORY:

Lobo grew up in a small town somewhere in the United States, out in the midwest in a squeaky clean town. As a kid, Lobo’s skin had a mild gray pigmentation that made him look sickly, but didn’t stand out from the other kids too much. The town was the ideal “Leave it to Beaver” American dream. No place could claim to be as happy a place as this place was. Until Lobo happened. Now, it’s worth noting, that wasn’t his name back then. Just one he gave himself after the fact. But as his physical mutation became more and more obvious, he decided he had enough of the town. So for his high school science project, he created a chemical weapon that wiped out the entire town. Lobo would have been killed too, but he managed to make himself immune beforehand. For that little incident, he gave himself an “A”.

Now an adult, Lobo’s physical mutation was completely apparent. Red eyed and gray skinned, Lobo was far from being able to fit into a crowd. He didn’t care. He stole a motorcycle and spent his time riding around the entire country looking for excitement. Usually in the form of violence, booze, and sex. However, he opted not to become a thief. Since it had a habit of bringing pesky superheroes down on him, he chose to earn his way by other means. The Main Man became a bounty hunter and mercenary, doing risky jobs so long as they paid him enough money to make it worth his while. With all the different factions that were developing in the world, it was easy pickings. Because Lobo’s own twisted sense of honor meant that his word was his bond, he was a bounty hunter that could be relied to get the job done and not double cross his client. Of course, the clients had to be comfortable with the extreme collateral damage that came from hiring him. He never claimed to be ‘gentle’. If you wanted a kitten rescued from a tree, don’t be surprised if you see Lobo walking away from an inferno with a traumatized kitten in hand.

Originally many people suspected Lobo as being an alien, a fact he capitalized on by claiming he was from a planet called Czarnia and claiming his alien name translated to “He Who Devours Your Entrails And Thoroughly Enjoys It”. It earned him some popularity and at one point he even started a religious cult, with himself as the head, where he proclaimed that he was the emissary of his species who would arrive soon on majestic space dolphins. It earned him a fortune, but unfortunately also all the wrong kinds of attention. A government agency managed to bring him in and discovered he was, in fact, merely a very strong and ugly mutant. Whatever research they gained on him is unknown, because he escaped and killed anyone that got in his way. And then blew up the building. He decided at that point it was best to drop the alien act. Especially since the news DID get out that he was actually a mutant and he started having to fend off the MRD when he’d be on a job.

Eventually these conflicts caused him to cross paths with the X-Men and after a mightily pointless fight, Professor Xavier contacted him telepathically and convinced him to lay down his weapons and talk peacefully. Being the ignorant biker that he was, Lobo was convinced it was the voice of God (despite Xavier insisting otherwise) and decided to work with the X-Men as some sort of misplaced penance for his past crimes, especially the bit about space dolphins. While that hasn’t stopped him from being a bounty hunter or mercenary, it does mean he decided to set up shop near the Institute. He often hangs around the place to bum off the professor by getting free food and making use of the accommodations (he likes the pool) or a place to fix his bike. He’s often used to consult on weapons used in the danger room or for security. Usually in the sense that, if Lobo approves, they’ve probably gone too far and need to tone it down. He also teaches an extracurricular class on explosives, which is purportedly for the purpose of learning to disarm them, but he usually has to be reminded to do that, because he much prefers teaching how to make them. He also has to be reminded that his lack of formal education means he can’t call himself Professor Lobo.
