One of the key factors in this revival was the distinct and influential artwork of Simon Bisley,[2] whose exaggerated and dynamic style helped redefine the character and significantly contributed to his popularity.

[5] 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.

Brad Garrett, David Sobolov, John DiMaggio, and Fred Tatasciore, among others, have voiced the character in animation and video games.

In issue #41 of Deadpool, a separate Marvel series, Lobo was parodied as "Dirty Wolff", a large blue-skinned man who drove a demonic motorcycle.

Simon Bisley's biker lifestyle played a significant role in shaping Lobo's redesign, infusing the character with a rugged, rebellious aesthetic that resonated with fans.

[9] Lobo was introduced as a regular character in Keith Giffen and Roger Slifer's Green Lantern and Teen Titans spin-off The Omega Men.

Simon Bisley's dark humor fits well within the pages of his artwork by having countless mutilations of background characters occurring in each panel.

Lobo has regularly made guest appearances in other series, even in cross-company interactions with such non-DC characters as the Mask, Judge Dredd, and the Authority.

It is later revealed that some Czarnians survived: Lobo's teacher and former military officer Miss Tribb, and the population of a city that Brainiac stole centuries prior.

Like many comic book characters, Lobo's body is highly muscular, though his initial appearances were thinner compared to later iterations.

Lobo's friends include Dawg, a bulldog that he often claims is not his when it gets into trouble; Jonas Glim, a fellow bounty hunter; Ramona, a bail bondswoman/hairdresser; and Green Lantern Guy Gardner.

[11] His enemies include the do-gooder superhero parody Goldstar, Loo, Vril Dox, Bludhound, Etrigan the Demon, and General Glory.

Lobo generally tries to kill anyone he is hired to capture, including his fourth-grade teacher Miss Tribb, his children, Santa Claus, and Dawg, although his main targets are Superman and Deathstroke.

Al and Darlene later prosper due to Lobo's appetite for destruction; he destroys the city, except for the diner, leaving hordes of construction workers with only one place to eat lunch.

At the prospect of a last well-paid job and a chance to score with the client, Lobo quickly agrees, and he again invades the diner to use their Tesseract teleporter to reach his gear.

After reaching his gear, Lobo invades the HQ of the International Justice Legion Wanna-Bes and crushes all opposition to hack their files on Malo Perverso.

In one such appearance, Jenny Quantum finds a comic book detailing Lobo's murder of Santa Claus; she experiences a fit of rage and confusion.

Lobo has also had run-ins with Hitman, Valor, Starman, the Ray, Deadman, Green Lantern, the JLA, StormWatch, Mister Miracle, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Doctor Fate, the Sovereign Seven, Supergirl, and Superboy, among others.

Lobo acts as an independent bounty hunter until tricked by Vril Dox into nominally joining his interstellar police force, L.E.G.I.O.N.

An additional weaker teenage Lobo remained, however, having hidden from the fight; he rejoins Young Justice and chooses to rename himself Slobo.

In the 2006–07 miniseries 52, Lobo reappears and encounters a group of heroes (consisting of Adam Strange, Animal Man, and Starfire), who find themselves stranded in space after the events of the 2005–2006 "Infinite Crisis" storyline.

After helping the lost heroes defeat Lady Styx, he brings the Emerald Eye to the triple-headed fish god, who agrees to release Lobo from his vow of non-violence in exchange.

[volume & issue needed] Lobo appeared in "Deadly Serious", a two-part crossover miniseries with Batman in August 2007, written and drawn by Sam Kieth.

In addition, Lobo has fought the Teen Titans and Blue Beetle in their respective titles to stop a rocket for the Reach, in which he failed.

Lobo was freed from his prison in a battle between Etrigan the Demon and Blue Devil, and he traveled through Hell to seek revenge on Neron.

[11] Still wearing his red ring on a chain around his neck, Lobo is recruited from a bar by Vril Dox, who requires his help battling his "father" Brainiac and Pulsar Stargrave, a captured weapon.

He was originally the bodyguard to the Czarnian royal family, who utilized a Eucharist-like ritual involving the planet's "life blood", pools similar to Lazarus Pits.

However, an unknown party contaminated the "life blood", causing the Czarnian Emperor and any citizenry that had participated in the ritual to go insane, which in turn forced Lobo to commit planetary euthanasia.

In one instance, Lobo was declared immortal; after he died and went to Hell, he proved too much for the demons and, when he was then sent to Heaven, he wreaked so much havoc that he was permanently banished from the afterlife.

If Lobo sustains injury, his accelerated healing factor enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with superhuman speed and efficiency and little apparent pain.
