Brainiac, on the other hand, is a much more personal foe, in addition to being more than willing to eradicate entire populations and planets to further his own desires, is completely taken seriously, and can hold on his own against Superman anytime they meet.

Brainiac often attempts to entice Superman to join him by bartering his possession of all of Krypton's vast collection of knowledge. Brainiac hopes to be this trope for all civilizations across the universe, destroying them once he collects their cultural information until none are left that exist.

* ArchEnemy: He's this to Superman, just behind Lex and Darkseid, given that Brainiac used to have close ties to Jor-El, callously left Krypton without any care to save its populace, and develops an obsessive intrigue towards Kal-El for being the LastOfHisKind. Evidently, he's one of Superman's most feared, worrisome, and hated foes and for good reason.



* ItsAllAboutMe: In "The Last Son of Krypton", he sabotages Jor-El's efforts to warn people about Krypton's imminent destruction because it might interfere with his own escape, which he judges to be more important than helping evacuate the planet.

to:

* ItsAllAboutMe: In "The Last Son of Krypton", he sabotages Jor-El's efforts to warn people about Krypton's imminent destruction because it might interfere with his own escape, which he judges to be more important than helping evacuate the planet. At the end of the day, all that matters to Brainiac is knowledge and his own preservation.



* LackOfEmpathy: He's a remorseless, unempathetic being who sees no value in feelings, let alone compassion and personal relationships.



* TheSociopath: Brainiac is devoid of any sense of moral reasoning or understanding. As far as he is concerned, the only thing that matters to him is his desire for knowledge and to be the only being in the universe that holds said knowledge. He's also manipulative and treacherous, leaving whatever comrades to die if it suits his needs, destroys and sunders as his way of stimulation, and is incapable of expressing any genuine affection for anybody.



** SuperStrength: Brainiac, like Darkseid, is one of the few beings Superman has [[GodzillaThreshold no issue killing]] and [[NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech never holds back against]]. Despite this, Superman still sometimes has trouble putting him down; Brainiac can trade blows with the Man of Steel for a while and hurt him with his own strikes. This puts him as among the strongest beings in the ''DCAU'', only below Superman himself, Doomsday, Darkseid, Captain Marvel, and Mongul.

An alien who runs a cosmic zoo which houses
''WebAnimation/LoboWebseries'' | ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''

A trash-talking, brutish bounty hunter from
the rarest creatures in the universe, as each is [[LastOfHisKind the last of its kind]]. He hires (former) planet Czarnia. Lobo to capture Superman, will track down anyone and anything, as long as the last Kryptonian. However, after getting Superman, he betrays Lobo price is right, and captures him as well since Lobo is the last Czarnian.he'll have himself a literal blast while doing it. He may also give blasts to other people. He's generous that way.



* BodyHorror: Transforming into his true form involves the substantially larger clawed beast clawing its way out of his peaceful form's mouth and leaving behind a hollow skin.
* CanonForeigner: He was created for the series.
* TheCollector: He collects living creatures who are the last of their kind. He doesn't target "sentient" creatures usually, but since both Superman's planet and Lobo's planet don't exist anymore...
* CreepyMonotone: He speaks with a robotic-like voice, without any inflection or emotion.
* NoSell: Lobo punches his monstrous form in the face, to no effect.
* NotSoStoic: He loses it when he turns into his monstrous form after Superman and Lobo fended off all of his attempts to put them back in their cage. He comments to Lobo that "a trash like him is not worth saving".
* OneWingedAngel: He loses it and turns into a hulking red monster with giant claws as a last resort measure to force Lobo and Superman back into their cage.
* PowerFloats: His first form hovers over the ground.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Lobo opens the ship's airlock with his hook and the Preserver is sucked into outer space.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: He speaks with a reverbal voice.

to:

* BodyHorror: Transforming into AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Darlene loved Lobo despite his true form involves bad attitude.
* AmusingInjuries: Receives these a lot. And finds
the substantially larger clawed beast clawing its way out injuries of ''others'' amusing as well.
* AscendedExtra: He went from being a minor character of ''Superman: The Animated Series'' to the main character
of his peaceful form's mouth webseries.
* AshFace: One of the Preserver's security probes shoots a beam on his head with this as the sole result.
* BadassBiker: He travels on a flying motorcycle, kills everyone who gets in his way,
and leaving behind heals from every injury he sustains, even if it's as severe as losing a hollow skin.
limb or getting his head blown off.
* CanonForeigner: He was created BadassBoast: Gets two rather good ones in his debut episode:
-->'''Lobo:''' The name's Lobo. That's "L" as in "lacerate," "O" as in "obliterate," "B" as in "disemBowel," and "O" as in...[[SubvertedTrope Um, er, I guess I can use "obliterate," twice, huh, what do you think?]]
-->'''Lobo''': See, someone's payin' me a heap'a cash
for yer carcass. And the series.
Main Man...''always'' delivers!
* TheCollector: {{Badbutt}}: He's very accurate to his comic counterpart, but he's also somewhat restricted by the fact that he's in a family-friendly cartoon. His hook never penetrates skin, for instance. Averted completely by his webseries.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: And talk, too. No, don't ask how that works when nobody else in the DCAU can; it's RuleOfFunny.
* BerserkButton:
He collects living creatures who gets angry when his bike is destroyed or taken.
* BigShutUp: He yells this to the Space Penguins.
* BoisterousBruiser: Naturally.
* BountyHunter: Lobo is recognized and feared throughout the galaxy as a persistent master bounty hunter.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Feetal's Gizz!"
* CigarChomper: 'Bo prefers to smoke Cubans in the webseries than rescue people.
* ClusterFBomb: In the webseries, he is likely to go on a swearing streak.
* CoolBike: His chopper doubles as a CoolSpaceship.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Lobo is actually quite good at his job, if not the brightest bulb in the box.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Lobo likes to kill people if they make him angry.
* EnemyMine: Teams up with Superman against the Preserver.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Upon hearing that Superman has been killed, he joins the Justice League and makes himself at home. None of them
are the last of pleased and [[HeroWithAnFInGood he takes artistic liberty with following their kind. He doesn't target "sentient" creatures usually, rules]], but due to other pressing matters, they don't have the time to tell him to leave.
* GoshDangItToHeck: "Frag!". On the other hand this is averted like ''hell'' in the Venezuelan Spanish dub and the webseries, when he ''swears hard''.
* GunsAkimbo: He is this in "Warrior Queen".
* HandCannon: A normal human wouldn't be able to lift his handgun.
* HealingFactor: In the webseries, Lobo regenerates after deadly injuries.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Since the show is intended for kids, he's not allowed to do anything truly horrific, and comes across as mostly PlayedForLaughs instead. Though he rather casually admits that he blew up his home planet and everyone else on it.
* IGaveMyWord: He'll keep his word and repay his debts. ...when reminded of them. He's kind of forgetful.
* IncomingHam:
-->'''Lobo:''' I'm givin' you geeks ten seconds before I frag everything in sight. One...TEN!
* InUniverseNickname: 'Bo.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not really a nice person at all,
since both he hits on every woman he sees (with horrible and emasculating failure to his pride) and cares very little about innocent lives.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It's...somewhere in there. If nothing else, he has a genuine (if a bit warped) respect for Superman, and always keeps his word. It's not much, but it's something.
* LastOfHisKind: Like Superman. Unlike Superman, however, [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed he destroyed his own planet]].
* LaughablyEvil: Because of his crude, dark, irreverent, and over-the-top sense of humor.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to his R-rated webseries. Averted in the Venezuelan dub.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A hair-metalesque electric guitar riff.
* MetalMuncher: During
Superman's planet first fight with Lobo in "The Main Man -- Part 1", Lois Lane tries to help the downed hero by striking Lobo with a lead pipe. Lobo is [[NoSell unfazed by the attack]], then grabs the pipe and eats the whole thing with [[BuzzsawJaw comical speed]].
* NighInvulnerability: Almost Superman-level resistance to harm and no KryptoniteFactor to boot though in
Lobo's planet case it's more to do with his ability to heal and recover from damage. While he is tough he isn't exactly invulnerable like Superman as compromising his respiration (gassing him) seems effective. It made Lobo pause and force him to play possum while he recovered before sucker punching Superman. It's also how the preserver captured and kept Lobo weak.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: For all his LaughablyEvil, LargeHam traits, his initial plan to locate Superman, rather than thrashing the place to get his attention, was to simply go to a police station and ask for his whereabouts. He only begins to attack Metropolis [[NiceJobBreakingItHero when the police officer tells him that Superman shows up where there's trouble]].
* NobleDemon: For all his vices, he ''always'' keeps his word when making promises. Including the one he made to Superman to leave Earth alone after their encounter and when he made a bet with Sunny Jim.
* ObligatorySwearing: In the Venezuelan Spanish dub, in the very first episode when he appears, he utters "son of a bitch" ''twice'' for some bizarre reason, despite the series being geared towards younger audiences. Some reruns in some countries remove it though.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Lobo participated in an intergalactic presidential election.
* PetTheDog: Although he doesn't actually ''mourn'' Superman in "Hereafter", the fact that he volunteers to ''do good'' for ''free'' is an [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristic]] gesture of respect. Sadly, it isn't appreciated. Particularly not by Kalibak.
-->'''Lobo:''' (''dumps an enormous pile of junked cars on top of a downed Kalibak'') Say it! ''Say it!''
-->'''Kalibak:''' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments ...Uncle.]]
-->'''Lobo:''' (''goes to grab another'') I CAN'T HEAAAAAR YOU!
* PunchClockVillain: The one time he fights Superman, he is merely being paid to do it by someone else. Otherwise, he is perfectly happy with leaving Superman alone.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: And with no pupils, to boot.
* SirSwearsALot: In ''Lobo For President'', he yells tons of swears at the camera.
-->'''Lobo:''' Let's cut the bullshit in this fucking place. You jackasses and assholes
don't exist anymore...
give a shit about issues! Stupid fucking bastich! Kiss my hairy, infested ass! All you jackoffs want is a guy who looks fucking good on tv! FUCK this!
* CreepyMonotone: He speaks with a robotic-like voice, without any inflection or emotion.
SmokingIsCool: In the webseries, he embodies this trope.
* NoSell: SuddenlyShouting: "A vote for Lobo punches his monstrous form in the face, and-FRAG THIS! This is crap!"
* SuperStrength: Lobo's strength is close

* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Lobo opens the ship's airlock with his hook and
"[[YouAndWhatArmy Who's gonna make me?]]" boast, which usually leads to appropriate trouble showing up. After the Preserver goes OneWingedAngel in response, he mentions he should probably quit saying it.
* TokenEvilTeammate: When it seemed like Superman was killed, Lobo filled in to quash the rioting in Metropolis. Not surprisingly, this was a temporary arrangement.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Implied to some degree by his reaction to The Preserver's tractor beam.

In the comics, he was out of shape and overweight, so he was no physical match for Superman even with his Kryptonian superpowers. In addition, his comic backstory had him as a Kryptonian scientist, rather than a military general like Zod. That said, unlike Zod, this version was made the shortest (and presumably weakest) member of the team, possibly as a reference to comic!Jax-Ur.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Darlene loved Lobo despite his bad attitude.
* AmusingInjuries: Receives these a lot. And finds the injuries of ''others'' amusing as well.
* AscendedExtra: He went from being a minor character of ''Superman: The Animated Series'' to the main character of his webseries.
* AshFace: One of the Preserver's security probes shoots a beam on his head with this as the sole result.
* BadassBiker: He travels on a flying motorcycle, kills everyone who gets in his way, and heals from every injury he sustains, even if it's as severe as losing a limb or getting his head blown off.
* BadassBoast: Gets two rather good ones in his debut episode:
-->'''Lobo:''' The name's Lobo. That's "L" as in "lacerate," "O" as in "obliterate," "B" as in "disemBowel," and "O" as in...[[SubvertedTrope Um, er, I guess I can use "obliterate," twice, huh, what do you think?]]
-->'''Lobo''': See, someone's payin' me a heap'a cash for yer carcass. And the Main Man...''always'' delivers!
* {{Badbutt}}: He's very accurate to his comic counterpart, but he's also somewhat restricted by the fact that he's in a family-friendly cartoon. His hook never penetrates skin, for instance. Averted completely by his webseries.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: And talk, too. No, don't ask how that works when nobody else in the DCAU can; it's RuleOfFunny.
* BerserkButton: He gets angry when his bike is destroyed or taken.
* BoisterousBruiser: Naturally.
* BountyHunter: Lobo is recognized and feared throughout the galaxy as a persistent master bounty hunter.
* CigarChomper: 'Bo prefers to smoke Cubans in the webseries than rescue people.
* CoolBike: His chopper doubles as a CoolSpaceship.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Lobo is actually quite good at his job, if not the brightest bulb in the box.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Lobo likes to kill people if they make him angry.
* EnemyMine: Teams up with Superman against the Preserver.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Upon hearing that Superman has been killed, he joins the Justice League and makes himself at home. None of them are pleased and [[HeroWithAnFInGood he takes artistic liberty with following their rules]], but due to other pressing matters, they don't have the time to tell him to leave.
* GoshDangItToHeck: "Frag!". On the other hand this is averted like ''hell'' in the Venezuelan Spanish dub and the webseries, when he ''swears hard''.
* GunsAkimbo: He is this in "Warrior Queen".
* HandCannon: A normal human wouldn't be able to lift his handgun.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Since the show is intended for kids, he's not allowed to do anything truly horrific, and comes across as mostly PlayedForLaughs instead. Though he rather casually admits that he blew up his home planet and everyone else on it.
* IGaveMyWord: He'll keep his word and repay his debts. ...when reminded of them. He's kind of forgetful.
* IncomingHam:
-->'''Lobo:''' I'm givin' you geeks ten seconds before I frag everything in sight. One...TEN!
* InUniverseNickname: 'Bo.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not really a nice person at all, since he hits on every woman he sees (with horrible and emasculating failure to his pride) and cares very little about innocent lives.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It's...somewhere in there. If nothing else, he has a genuine (if a bit warped) respect for Superman, and always keeps his word. It's not much, but it's something.
* LastOfHisKind: Like Superman. Unlike Superman, however, [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed he destroyed his own planet]].
* LaughablyEvil: Because of his crude, dark, irreverent, and over-the-top sense of humor.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to his R-rated webseries. Averted in the Venezuelan dub.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A hair-metalesque electric guitar riff.
* MetalMuncher: During Superman's first fight with Lobo in "The Main Man -- Part 1", Lois Lane tries to help the downed hero by striking Lobo with a lead pipe. Lobo is [[NoSell unfazed by the attack]], then grabs the pipe and eats the whole thing with [[BuzzsawJaw comical speed]].
* NighInvulnerability: Almost Superman-level resistance to harm and no KryptoniteFactor to boot though in Lobo's case it's more to do with his ability to heal and recover from damage. While he is tough he isn't exactly invulnerable like Superman as compromising his respiration (gassing him) seems effective. It made Lobo pause and force him to play possum while he recovered before sucker punching Superman. It's also how the preserver captured and kept Lobo weak.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: For all his LaughablyEvil, LargeHam traits, his initial plan to locate Superman, rather than thrashing the place to get his attention, was to simply go to a police station and ask for his whereabouts. He only begins to attack Metropolis [[NiceJobBreakingItHero when the police officer tells him that Superman shows up where there's trouble]].
* NobleDemon: For all his vices, he ''always'' keeps his word when making promises. Including the one he made to Superman to leave Earth alone after their encounter and when he made a bet with Sunny Jim.
* ObligatorySwearing: In the Venezuelan Spanish dub, in the very first episode when he appears, he utters "son of a bitch" ''twice'' for some bizarre reason, despite the series being geared towards younger audiences. Some reruns in some countries remove it though.
* PetTheDog: Although he doesn't actually ''mourn'' Superman in "Hereafter", the fact that he volunteers to ''do good'' for ''free'' is an [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristic]] gesture of respect. Sadly, it isn't appreciated. Particularly not by Kalibak.
-->'''Lobo:''' (''dumps an enormous pile of junked cars on top of a downed Kalibak'') Say it! ''Say it!''
-->'''Kalibak:''' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments ...Uncle.]]
-->'''Lobo:''' (''goes to grab another'') I CAN'T HEAAAAAR YOU!
* PunchClockVillain: The one time he fights Superman, he is merely being paid to do it by someone else. Otherwise, he is perfectly happy with leaving Superman alone.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: And with no pupils, to boot.
* SirSwearsALot: In Lobo For President, he yells tons of swears at the camera.
-->'''Lobo:''' Let's cut the bullshit in this fucking place. You jackasses and assholes don't give a shit about issues! Stupid fucking bastich! Kiss my hairy, infested ass! All you jackoffs want is a guy who looks fucking good on tv! FUCK this!
* SmokingIsCool: In the webseries, he embodies this trope.
* SuperStrength: Lobo's strength is close to that of Superman's.
* TemptingFate: His "[[YouAndWhatArmy Who's gonna make me?]]" boast, which usually leads to appropriate trouble showing up. After the Preserver goes OneWingedAngel in response, he mentions he should probably quit saying it.
* TokenEvilTeammate: When it seemed like Superman was killed, Lobo filled in to quash the rioting in Metropolis. Not surprisingly, this was a temporary arrangement.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Implied to some degree by his reaction to The Preserver's tractor beam.
-->"Holy fragaroni! It feels like I'm being torn apart!" (''beat, amused'') "Cool!"
-->"If they manage to catch us again, they'll probably trap our butts to the floor ith razor wire! Not that it isn't an interesting way to liven up an otherwise ho-hum evening but I have a bounty to collect."
* TruerToTheText: In the webseries, he is returned to his adult oriented roots as in the comics.
* VillainousCrush: Gains a crush on Lois immediately upon meeting her.
* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Provides the page quote. Apparently, his high school science project involved blowing up his home planet.
* WouldHurtAChild: He shoots an alien baby for peeing acid on him in "Lobo for President".
* YouGotSpunk: Towards Lois.
