First I've got to say that there are not too many DC-Characters
I'd like too see as a heroclix-figure, because I don't know many
(cause I've always read Marvel-stuff and Spawn). But one of
the coolest Characters has not been released in Hypertime.
What about the main man? What about Lobo?
I'm interested in what you guys think his dial should look like.
Here some proposes:

- RANGE 8, 3 ARROWS - To represent his "ABILITY" to blast away entire armies not by being a proper hitman but by being in insane rage and being unbelievably lucky! (Oh how I love him :D)

- CHARGE - No matter how his chances - He'd never let anybody have the first punch!

- SUPER-SENSES - Ok, by the abillities name not too logic. But the humor of the comic bases on his stupidity and his luck! Lobo never wins a fight by being the strongest son of a ##### but by being lucky, so I think super-senses would fit him much more than toughness. (I think Impervious would go way too far)

- I'm not too sure about a damage ability. Battle fury would fit him pretty well, but I think perplex would represent his abillities much better because the bonus is - accoeding to the rules - build on the characters "unpredictable behaviour" (or something like that) that confuses the enemy - That ability was just MADE for the main man!

Looking forward to your ideas - Eddie

Battle Fury would be more appropriate, IMO. Also, 3 arrows is too many. Pulse wave would do what you are saying if they are on him, EE if they are not.

Charge seems to be the only power you got right.
whne armed with a gun he normally shoots a bullet at a time. I could buy him using a rapid fire weapon and hitting milutiple targets for a clic, but that is not his common weapon of choice.
He normally ising his chain with a hook. so if I was doing a more common Lobo I'd do Range Four. But I'd either give him Close combat Expert since none can really tell him what to do to enhance his tactics/damage. Battle Furry also seems fitting cause he is often not a team player. His regen would not be avaible on his starting posision but it should be on the rest of his dial. Charge shoudl only be on the begining of his Dial. I would also give him super Strength. For he is not afriad to grab stuff and hit people with it.
And that takes care of Lobo. I'm sure with DC's new set, which will realse late Summer 2003 new power like regneration will be one of the possible new powers to be seen.

Impervious = too far??? Are you sure you read any Lobo? And what about Lobo's battles against Superman? Impervious is NOT too far at all... actually Lobo should have more than just Impervious!

Just read a couple of Lobos, not including the fight against Superman. I see the argument of battle fury instead of perplex cause he's no team player at all. Also didn't mind his chain - So if he had a range of four (what absolutely makes sense:) ) close combat would be a fine addition, just as super strength. But the mags i DID read often included a Lobo raging with sever automatic rifles. Seems like I didn't get the representative ones;) .
Perhaps a ranged combat based Lobo would be just fine as a unique.

I'd like to see him with Charge, Super Strength, Impervious, and Close Combat Expert. He would have a long dial, around 10-11 clicks. Range would be 4, Speed starting at 10, Attack starting at 13, Defense starting at 16, and Damage starting at 3 (maybe 4). He would later have Perplex, Regeneration, Blades/Claws/Fangs assuming DC uses Regeneration and BCF in their next set.

I'm definitely looking forward to a LOBO figure.
