From truly wild acts of violence to even driving his own mother crazy, here’s seven of the most fraggin’ insane things that Lobo has ever done.
7) Became an Archbishop
Lobo found god. No, really. In a wild twist of fate for Lobo, he, at one point, becomes an Archbishop for the First Celestial Church of the Triple Fish-God. This turns into a rare moment of pacificus for Lobo, inspired by his devotion to his beloved Fishies, aka Space Dolphins. This changes, however, once Lobo acquires the Emerald Eye of Ekron, a relic that returns Lobo to his usual dangerous self. Afterwards, he kills the Fish-God, the very deity he served, as one of his first acts as the “old Lobo.” Space Dolphins be damned, apparently.
6) Drove His Own Mother Insane, From Birth
Even at Lobo’s very beginning, his dangerous nature became evident in the mere moments outside of the womb. Little Lobo started off strong when he bit the fingers off of the nurse delivering him and even proceeded to then chase the medical staff with scalpels. This incident was traumatizing enough to cause nearly all involved to go insane, including Lobo’s own mother. It isn’t all surprising, then, to discover that Lobo’s name literally translates to “he who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it,” a translation he would go on to honor throughout his life.
5) Kicked Out of Both Heaven and Hell
Lobo found himself banned from both Heaven and Hell after encountering Lord Nytemayr. Here Lobo becomes tormented by him and, through this, Lobo stumbles into Heaven, where he’s then sent to Hell, after laughing at the very face of God. Lobo doesn’t stop there, however, as he then kills several demons, to remain true to his desire to always “go against the grain,” landing him back on Earth. Apparently, even Hell itself can’t contain Lobo, though, to be fair, Hell might as well be a theme-park to someone like Lobo.
