“Iâm all in on the return of crusty biker Lobo and his resurgence.
In the anals (I know that may strike you as being incorrectly spelled, but I assure you, itâs correct) of DC blunders, slim, emo Lobo has to be one of the more inexplicable ones.
Were we courting the audience of chicks who like Edward Cullen and Legolas? Which is fine, but did we think LOBO was that gateway character?
The first Lobo story I read involved him being killed, eaten by snails, shit out by said snails, and then being stitched back together by his healing factor.
There have to be dozens of better options. Off the top of my head:
1. Nightwing: slam dunk.
2. Animal Man: young him up, and heâs catnip for the furry crowd.
3. Booster Gold: dude time travels, so just make him a young influencer or whatever.
4. One of them Legion kids. Take your pick.
5. Nightwing again. Because câmon, itâs right there.
6. Plastic Man: he could easily identify with the challenges of modern beauty standards.
7. Deadman: just make him a little sexier, less rot-y.
8. Swamp Thing: guy is a nice set of teeth away from being a total hunk.
9. Superboy: I think heâs gay now(Supermanâs son is gay, not sure if heâs Superboy, though). But that doesnât mean he canât be the target of crushes.
10. Damian Wayne: dark past, lithe figure. Itâs all there.
11. Mercury from the Metal Men: why not?
12. That Uncle from the Marvel Family: get the man in a crossfit gym. “
