“I’ll take
people Wolverine beat in Marvel/DC Crossovers
that DC fans never ever stop complaining about,
Alex”
Today we review Lobo;
Lobo really isn’t funny. I’m sorry but he isn’t.
He’s a parody of the over-powered hyper-violent,
steroid-slinging late 80’s/90’s comic book
universe. He’s the literal incarnation of every
“Liefeld” joke, comment or criticism you’ve ever
read that wasn’t either; witty, amusing, droll,
sarcastic, insightful, original, or clever. (So
that would be all of them then).
Simply put, Lobo is witless and dated as both a
character and as a concept. And the fact the he
is still used in the DC universe illustrates a
chronic lack of innovation, ingenuity and
originality on the part of every writer has even
includes this tired & loathsome creation in a
submitted script.
My personal prejudice against this character not
withstanding, Lobo remains a remarkably
overpowered card that should never have been
released.
You see, Lobo replicates himself once stunned.
And he’s a six drop.
A six drop.
That replicates itself.
That’s just stupid.
You have no downsides to playing this card.
Defensively Lobo’s effect means that stunning
him is a bad strategy for your opponent. (At
best they’d have to stun and KO & or bounce the
guy to avoid losing the advantage). Offensively
it means that having him stunned is a great
manoeuvre for you as you just got another
character in play (And since Lobo’s effect
triggers off him being stunned, if you can avoid
KO’ing the original stunned copy, you’ve
effectively cloned him).
Plus, any combos that revolve around stunning a
character. I mean come on.
As a slight weakness this card isn’t team
stamped. As a further weakness (unless there has
been an erratum published recently) it can’t
replicate from copies you have in your hand. But
frankly that counts for nothing.
This card isn’t balanced. Or fair. Nor should it
have been released.
And it acts as a fine argument for anyone who
believes in segregation between Marvel VS and DC
VS.
Constructed: 4.5/5 (Lobo loses .5 for not being
team stamped).

Lobo - The
Main Man
This guy. Great attack, average defense, and an
annoying ability. In Lobo's voice: "When I get
stunned, I'll be back Supes!" Good thing he's
not affiliated or he might be broken.
Sealed: 4.5 (I really see him turning the tide
in your favor in sealed)
Constructed: 3.5 (Can't find him, the lazy bum,
but works when he comes.) |
