The character

Lobo is Czarnian having an exceptional force and supers capacities. Lobo was always a malicious boy liking free violence and the intoxication. To kill is an end for him besides its nickname is Khundian " that which devours your entrails and in is always satisfied ". Always arrogant and egocentric person and seeking to satisfy his most primary needs. He is the last of Czarniens which he all killed with a mortal insect that he itself created. However the Czárnia planet was a model in all the galaxy of harmony and of peace, not of wars and death was only one option there, almost all its inhabitants were immortal, they had the capacity to reproduce by the creation of clones with simple blood drops. But Lobo was born different and, hardly born, it devoured the fingers of the midwife and killed her doctors.
