Just wondering if anyone can think of good figures to use instead of the actual (sub-par) Lobo we got in Justice League.

I've got Green Scar on the brain, but he doesn't seem to have quite enough Regeneration. Other than that, He seems pretty solid for the role with a number of powers that match up with Lobo's current dial and card.

Ideas?

For what purpose? i mean you could put down any piece and say "Yeah ... you are Lobo." What do you want Lobo to be? Just the thrashing mashing type brawler?

What do you feel is wrong with the current Lobo? While not a guaranteed win, it is playable, and fairly representative. Say what you want to change, and maybe I can make some suggestions.

I find the Justice League Lobo to be kind of a bloated turd, honestly... Love the sculpt, though. Mine actually disappeared.

Was just agreeing with the OP.

I think Green Scar is a little powerful for Lobo offensively speaking.

Not sure if Green Scar is too overpowered. Lobo is a beast in the DCU, you ever read 52? I think Scar with Auto-Regen is about perfect.

Honestly Valkyries dial is a good sub in, but it lacks the regen necessary. though you could throw on Vampirism and it's not too bad.

absorbing Man could be fun

Terrax the tamer is a bit over the top, but not dead wrong (again you'll need to play vampirism

Heck Lobo isn't really that bad.

Supernova Vet Drax is pretty good for a straight up brawler. Not sure who has the kind of regeneration you are looking for. Maybe the current Deathstroke. If you wanted to go for the Lobo from Lobo's Back maybe the Ultimate Hulk with the 6 damage.

Or look at your sig and why not use Omni-Man for straight up awesomeness.

I play a modded Scar with a Lobo on it. I luv him.

Possibly M&M Maestro...

I think the best by far is U General from Unleashed. Check it out:

I think range is important and The General has it. I love the high start and massive damage capability. The copious amounts of Regeneration coupled with his fairly high attack value makes him a threat and at 176 you can fit him on any team you like.

Yeah, the General is a good fit, for Lobo off of his hog.

Really though, I just use Lobo. But I'm not playing in any big regional events anytime soon...

What's wrong with Lobo? He's got a 12 attack against his quarry.. that's a TEN with the move and attack penalty. 18 Def with invuln.. a pant load of regen towards the end.. if you're playing with Feats.. he could be just brutal..

(Speed) Nobody Rides This Hog but the Main Man: Lobo can't carry characters. This power cannot be canceled.

I thought so, too and tried my best to make him work.

What happens?

first off choosing a Quarry is crucial. As soon as you pick something it will move far away from you. At which you will only face figures with your 10 attack.

His Move and Attack means a 207 point figures is attacking with an 8 - for 8 movement.

Lobo is built for Close-Combat so he wants to base - and 3 clicks of damage in he goes to an 8 attack. I can choose to try and breakaway with my Earthbound clicks but every figure and hindering terrain stops Lobo from hunting down his quarry.

He does have a lot of Regen but with a 14 defense who wouldn't push to knock him out. And if you do get to regen you get to heal him back to his 8 attack Earthbound clicks? Yay.

Theoretically I can see how he can wreck someone. Realistically, because his Quarry is named so early, that target avoids him rendering Lobo a very average figure with above average cost.

If his SP was +2 for Close-combat attacks then he would be worth 207 (well, maybe not with all that earthbound), but as he stands now, gimme The General every time.

Try this

SR Lobo 207
Fortitude 25 (232)
Repulsor Shield 25 (257)
Automatic Regeneration 12 (269)
Shellhead 10 (279)
Protected 8 (287)
Nanoarmor 6 (293)
Endurance 5 (298)

298 points of 'Frag you' !!!!!!!!

I would have suggested The General if tyroclix hadn't beat me to it. Lunge and Automatic Regeneration make him dangerous even with those low defence values.

Last time I played against Lobo, I KOd him with Masked Manhunter (Alpha) and E Punisher (Ultimates), and lost neither figure. I think that's a fair indication that he's just not very good.

I find that his attack values are too low, and his "Hog" just seems to get in the way. I want to like the JL dial, but his Attack is far too low, and the Bounty Hunter power never seems to work.

In other news, I don't have one.

Just looking for a Lobo that could go head to head with Superman-Level brawlers, kinda like Lobo should.

The General's a pretty good idea though...
