Here's everything you need to know about DC's Lobo, the new character Aquaman actor Jason Momoa will play in the DCU.
Who the frag is Lobo? The Main Man, the Last Czarnian, the Ultimate Bastich, Assassin to Royalty and Scourge of the Cosmos — and now, the character that formeractor Jason Momoa will play in the new DC Universe.
After years of coveting the role, Momoa was cast as the intergalactic bounty hunter in this year’smovie back in 2024, alongside Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-el, the Kryptonian cousin of David Corenswet’s Superman, and Eve Ridley as the farmer’s daughter Ruthye Marye Knoll, who tracks the Kingsagent Krem of the Yellow Hills across the galaxy to bring her father’s killer to justice.as a Lobo/Supergirl book. But when editors Brittany Holzherr and Jamie S. Rich convinced King to make Kara the “Reuben J. ‘Rooster’ Cogburn” character — the tough, fearless U.S. Marshal from the Charles Portis novel, who accompanies a 14-year-old girl on a quest to avenge her father’s murder — the best fraggin’ bounty hunter in the galaxy was out of a job. But now the movie is restoring him, thanks to Momoa, and here’s what we know…‘s storyline, but of course Lobo isn’t involved. The synopsis EW has revealed quite easily suggests how he becomes involved though: “A young alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll , tracks down Superman’s tormented partygirl cousin to bring the brute that killed her family to justice, Krem of the Yellow Hills . Kara has a personal motivation to complete the task: During an early encounter with Krem, the adversary poisons her beloved super-dog, Krypto, who will die in three days’ time without the antidote he keeps among his personal effects. The lovable but untamable Krypto is Kara’s last remnant of her life back on Krypton before the destruction of her home world — an event that continues to haunt the comic book strongwoman.” Kara being on the hunt for Krem does suggest that Lobo’s role as a bounty hunter could be key in helping her find her enemies. Director Craig Gillespie calls the movie a cross between John Wick and, and in that dynamic, you’d probably expect Momoa’s Lobo to play the Rooster Cogburn replacement – gruff, cantankerous, not really well-fitted to the job of helping his young ward, but he’s actually more likely the more supporting role of La Boeuf . He starts on his own mission to take down the same villains Cogburn hunts, and they end up teaming up. That seems to be the logical direction for Lobo and Supergirl too.#3, Lobo originally looked a lot different in his first appearance — resembling a member of the band Kiss more than the burly space bikerLobo, whose name means “one who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it,” was born on the peaceful paradise Czarnia and was immediately branded “the devil incarnate” and “an evil little bastard.” The bastard Lobo became the Last Czarnian because he killed all five billion people on his home planet. Although he’s a cold-blooded killer, the baddest bastich in the galaxy is fond of space dolphins . When Vril Dox, the commander of L.E.G.I.O.N. , contracted Lobo to work for the galactic cop force, it was part of a pact to protect Lobo’s dolphin pack. A man of honor, Lobo always keeps his word, and he was honor bound to work with L.E.G.I.ON. “I don’t kill nothin’ for nothin. The watchwords are: No Contract, No Kill. Dig? I’m the Hit Man, see, Assassin to Royalty, Executioner to the Stars. My special skills command big bucks. No pay, no play. ‘Cept… if I do kill somebody an’ I don’t get paid, then generally I’ll kill the four-flushin’ creep what didn’t pay me. That kinda thing I do gratis. Then it goes under the headin’ o’ community service.”Lobo returns to his mercenary ways for credits to fund his lifestyle: fightin’, boozin’, and women. As the scourge of outlaws, Lobo uses an arsenal of weaponry that includes but isn’t limited to —backup gun, a big knife, smaller knives, frag grenades, explosives, garroting wire, knuckledusters, his hook and chain, and exploding cigar. He rides his Spacehog — a customized SpazFrag 666 space cycle — and can track a target quicker than you can say “Feetal’s Gizz!” “He’s killed more folks than any being alive in the universe today! He’s the meanest, baddest, most massacring mother there is! This is a man who has enjoyed every evil sensation known to exist! He partied — he womanized — he maimed and he murdered!” Besides his tracking ability that lets him trace anyone anywhere in the galaxy after meeting them once, Lobo can analyze his opponents to instantly determine their weaknesses. His enhanced speed and strength makes him as powerful as Superman, and the Main Man is able to go toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel. Lobo once had the Czarnian ability to self-heal wounds and grow clones of himself from even a single drop of blood, but Vril Dox stripped Lobo of his multiplying powers to spare the galaxy from an army of virtually indestructible Lobos. One bastich is bad enough. Now frag off!movie featuring Jason Momoa’s Lobo is scheduled to open in theaters on June 26, 2026. Are you excited?
