Who Is Lobo? Jason Momoa’s DCU Character Explained

Well, now ain’t that a hoot, folks! The intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo, the one and only Main Man, is comin’ to the big screen with none other than Jason Momoa in the role. I’ve seen my fair share of movies, but this one’s got me all riled up!

I remember back in the day when I was just a young’un, flippin’ through the pages of those DC comics, stumblin’ upon Lobo for the first time. A burly space biker with an affinity for space dolphins? Sign me up! And let’s not forget his knack for killin’, boozin’, and womanizin’. Now that’s my kind of character!

I can just imagine Momoa, all beefed up and ready to tear through the galaxy on his Spacehog. This ain’t no ordinary bounty hunter, folks. Lobo’s a cold-blooded killer with a heart of gold… or at least a heart that likes space dolphins.

I gotta admit, I’m a bit disappointed that he won’t be appearing in the upcoming DCU movie, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what tricks they’ve got up their sleeves. One thing’s for sure, though – Lobo’s gonna make one heck of an impression when he hits the big screen in 2026.

So mark your calendars, folks! DC Studios’ Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to open on June 26, 2026, and I can’t wait to see Momoa bring Lobo to life. And who knows? Maybe we’ll even get a good laugh out of the guy with his explosive cigars and backup backup gun!

Until then, keep your eyes peeled for any news on this one – it’s gonna be a wild ride!

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got to say, who is this Lobo character that Jason Momoa will be bringing to life in the upcoming DC Universe film, “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” in 2026? He goes by The Main Man, The Last Czarnian, The Ultimate Bastich, an assassin to royalty and a scourge across the cosmos.

Momoa will play this intergalactic bounty hunter alongside Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-el, Superman’s Kryptonian cousin, and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, a farm girl on a mission to track down the Kingsagent Krem of the Yellow Hills, seeking vengeance for her father’s death.

It promises to be an intriguing space odyssey filled with action and adventure!

In the eight-issue comic series that serves as the basis for the upcoming DCU film, Lobo isn’t featured. However, writer Tom King revealed last year that he initially planned Woman of Tomorrow to be a Lobo/Supergirl collaboration. But when editors Brittany Holzherr and Jamie S. Rich persuaded King to transform Kara into the tough, unyielding U.S. Marshal character from Charles Portis’ novel True Grit, who accompanies a 14-year-old girl on a vengeance mission for her father’s murder, Lobo, the top galactic bounty hunter, found himself out of work.

Lobo: The Main Man

Originally conceived by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen for The Omega Men #3 in 1983, Lobo initially bore little resemblance to his later image as a tough space biker. Instead, he looked more like a member of the rock band Kiss rather than the massive intergalactic brute we know him as today, thanks to artist Simon Bisley’s rendition.

Hailing from the tranquil realm of Czarnia, Lobo – known for its ominous translation as “the one who savors disembowelment” – was born and swiftly labeled as “the embodiment of evil” and “a mischievous scoundrel.” Known derisively as the “bastard,” Lobo earned this title by annihilating all five billion inhabitants of his home planet, thus becoming the Last Czarnian. Despite being a ruthless murderer, this intergalactic rogue harbors a soft spot for space dolphins, affectionately referring to them as “fishies.

When Vril Dox, the leader of the interstellar team L.E.G.I.O.N. (Licensed Extra-Governmental Interstellar Operatives Network), hired Lobo for the galactic police force, it was a deal to ensure the safety of Lobo’s dolphin group. Being a man of integrity, Lobo always sticks to his commitments, and he felt honor-bound to collaborate with L.E.G.I.O.N., as he would prefer to take lives than break his promise.

As a seasoned professional in the world of assassination, I’ve learned that business is all about contracts and payment. No contract, no kill – that’s my motto. I’ve been hired by royalty, celebrities, and high-profile individuals to carry out their dirty work, and my skills are highly sought after. But the life of an assassin isn’t cheap, so if someone doesn’t pay up, they’re risking more than just their life – they’re risking mine too.

Now, you might think that I’d be cold-hearted and ruthless, but there are lines I won’t cross. If someone fails to pay me for a job well done, I don’t hesitate to take matters into my own hands. I call it “community service.” It’s my way of keeping the streets clean and maintaining order in this chaotic world. So if you owe me money, make sure you pay up – or else you might find yourself on the receiving end of my special skills, gratis.

Lobo: Bastich for Hire

Lobo resumes his life as a mercenary, earning credits to enjoy his lifestyle filled with battles, drinking, and companionship. Known as a menace among outlaws, Lobo equips an array of weaponry such as his large gun, secondary firearm, tertiary backup gun, a big knife, multiple smaller knives, fragmentation grenades, explosives, garroting wire, knuckle dusters, his hook and chain, and even an exploding cigar. He navigates the cosmos on his customized Spacehog, a SpazFrag 666 space cycle, and can locate a target faster than one can utter “Feetal’s Gizz!

As someone who has spent years studying crime and its impact on society, I must say that the individual you’re describing is undeniably a force to be reckoned with. His actions have claimed more lives than any other being alive today, earning him the title of the universe’s deadliest. He possesses an uncanny ability to inflict harm, making him the meanest and most ruthless person I’ve ever encountered.

His life seems to be a never-ending series of evil deeds, with each one more heinous than the last. From partying to womanizing, from maiming to murdering, he revels in the chaos he creates. It is truly chilling to think that such a person exists and walks among us.

In my professional opinion, this individual poses a significant threat to anyone who crosses his path. The sheer volume of evil he has enjoyed throughout his life speaks volumes about the depths of depravity he is capable of reaching. It is my sincere hope that one day justice will be served and his reign of terror will come to an end.

Apart from his unique talent for following anyone across the galaxy after a single encounter, Lobo possesses an uncanny ability to quickly identify the vulnerabilities of his adversaries. His physical prowess rivals that of Superman, making him a formidable opponent who can engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Man of Steel.

At one point, Lobo possessed the unique Czarnian talent to recover from injuries and generate clones using just a drop of his blood. However, Vril Dox took away his multiplying abilities to prevent a swarm of nearly invincible Lobos from overrunning the galaxy. One Lobo is already trouble enough.

Now frag off!

The movie “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” from DC Studios, starring Jason Momoa as Lobo, will debut in cinemas on June 26, 2026.
