10 Worst Things Lobo Has Ever Done

What's worse: killing Santa, or a dog?

When it comes to anti-heroes, there are few characters that emphasise the 'anti' part as much as Lobo. There are very few Lobo comic where he isn't actively destroying the universe one unfortunate soul at a time - and when he's not, it's only because he's preparing for an event that is all the bigger.

All this in mind, the only difficulty with Lobo and his terrible deeds is figuring out which is the very worst, because he's carried out so many simply awful acts that it's hard to put your finger on exactly which would be considered the most depraved. With a man who has killed all his own children, killed all his own species, and at one point even killed himself, there's no shortage of moments to pick between - only the sinking feeling that maybe Lobo should have his anti-hero status revoked at some point in the near future.

If you're in need of a hero that amps up all the bloodthirsty wildness of Wolverine or the Punisher, Lobo is your go-to guy. If you want a character with morals? Well, you might want to give him a miss, for the time being.

10. Blowing Up A City (For 83,000 Years In A Row)

Consistency is key in life - and this may explain why Lobo has done so well for himself over the years, as it is revealed that he has destroyed one particular city in the galaxy for 83,000 years in a row running, making him arguably more consistent than some types of public transport.

While this wouldn't initially sound like a bad thing - after all, Lobo destroys cities with the frequency that most people would have breakfast - but crucially, Lobo isn't trying to destroy the city, as he is only ever there to go to a diner he likes - meaning that the destruction that follows is merely a result of the KISS look-a-like existing in any one space for longer than three minutes.

Purposeful destruction is one thing, but seemingly accidentally destroying an entire city countless years in a row seems on another, more entirely careless level.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
