Comic Book Character of the Week: Lobo

In light of the announcement of his upcoming movie, this week's CBCW is no other than Lobo. Lobo is a Czarnian bounty hunter, possessing exceptional strength and fortitude. He enjoys nothing better than mindless violence and intoxication. He is also arrogant and self-centered, focusing almost solely on his own pleasures, although he proudly lives up to his word. Lobo is the last of his kind, having killed all the other Czarnians, cannot stay dead, as both Heaven and Hell threw him out.

Along with his superhuman strength and durability, he has 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.

Lobo has had several encounters with the likes of Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Guy Gardner and Wolverine to name a few.

Guy Ritchie has recently announced that he will be directing a Lobo movie so look forward to seeing this anti-hero's big screen debut sometime in the near future. Stay up.
