Hey, I was scrolling down my Twitter TL the other day, saw this random tweet & y'know who's a great DC Comics character that comes to mind for no reason at all? Lobo! 🙂

But seriously, Lobo seems pretty clear as a Gen X homoerotic White rocker / biker guy fantasy (whether or not that was the creators' original conscious intention), LOL

Oh, that little slut scamp! 🤭

😌 Anyway, Lobo appreciation post!

Superman (2023) Annual

There's lots of things going on right now in the current plot as the dark secrets of Metropolis slowly begin to unfold and I am genuinely excited to see Lobo but I do have so many questions.

I am loving that Czarnian architecture though.

Lobo by David Finch (2010) - Edgy, intense, intimidating representation of the intergalactic bounty hunter - the Main Man from the planet Czarnia.

What we call heavy metal on Earth, is considered classical music on Czarnia

“Remember, you’re on Czarnia…the planet killed by its last son Lobo…with carnivorous flying scorpions.”

Ah, yes, of course. Carnivorous flying scorpions. I mean, normal scorpions are carnivores. Who says alien scorpions can’t, uh, fly and “kill” a planet?

Into the GuyLoboVerse: Day 14

Earth 13: League of Shadows

In the permanent magical twilight of EARTH 13, GUY GARDNER has become the MAGE STARHEART. With his eye replaced with part of the glowing meteor passed down in his order through the centuries, GUY GARDNER recklessly summoned LOBO, the DEMON of CZARNIA, to aid him when asked to assist FATE with some LEAGUE of SHADOWS business. Now he must live with the consequences.

Authors Notes:

Its been a while since I read the Earth 13 stuff but I always thought it was neat! (The fact that this is a world where Jared Stevens is alive as Fate definitely helps even if he isn't a focus haha). The designs here I just played around with in MS Paint until I got something that I thought fit the aesthetic of a magic world. Even if Constantine is walking around in a typical hero suit.

Lore-wise I always thought it would be interesting if Green Lantern stuff got flipped so that the magical Starheart that Alan Scott uses in main continuity was the standard instead of the exception for Earth 13 Green Lantern equivalents. Though it looks like they just decided to use a version of Hal as Spectre as Green Lantern in the background of one of the scenes a while ago.

The Guardians of Oa would send a meteor of concentrated magic to planets that they wanted to have a point of control on and the dominant sentient lifeforms would general adapt that meteor and its magic into their culture somehow. (Usually. There would always be exceptions). Since Earth has such a rich concentration of magic existing on it already, Earth gets a larger meteor so that its magic can be wielded by multiple people, creating the Order of the Starheart.

The Order of the Starheart has been around for centuries. A new mage is accepted when they are drawn to the Starheart and the Starheart accepts them (usually manifesting by an intense pull to wherever the Starheart is currently being kept and then an intense glowing from the Starheart). The new mage then chips of a part of the meteor and that gets embedded in their body and becomes part of their magical power. Usually The Order of the Starheart recovers the piece of the meteor when a mage dies but that is not always possible which can result in someone becoming a member of The Order without their knowledge.

I'm on the fence about whether or not Guy is one of these accidental members but either way eventually he makes his way to a position of respect (for his power if nothing else) in The Order. Guy also comes by way of magic via his alien heritage that, while diluted, gives him a much bigger aptitude for magic than the average homo sapien but not quite at the levels standard for homo magi.

This Lobo is more of a direct Etrigan parallel and would probably end up clashing with Superdemon either as teammates, allies, or enemies. He's pretty standard for Lobo's but just with more of a monstery look than a biker look. He also makes a red aura around him when he fights. Instead of traveling through space of his own accord, legends of the Demon of Czarnia have spread throughout the galaxy and with that methods of summoning him to do your bidding. However it is well known that this is a double edged sword because there is no banishment spell that works on him. He will stay until he is summoned somewhere else or he acquires a means of leaving your planet on his own. But usually he hangs around until he gets bored instead of actively finding a way off your rock. Past summoners of Lobo have generally found themselves held responsible for his behavior and end up being pariahs.

Of course Brainiac would have a bottle city from Czarnia on his ship. DC really hates the idea of Lobo being the last Czarnian (or any endling narrative) or making it stick.
