BURP!
Line 9:
Listen up, dweebs! Seein' as how I'm me, it's time I gave ya the real lowdown on the Main Man.
 
Name's Lobo, and I kill people. That ain't my real name, by the way - you dweebs can't pronounce it, but it translates to [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|He Who Devours Your Entrails And Thoroughly Enjoys It.]] I'm the best fraggin' bounty hunter the galaxy has to offer - ferget the guy in the [[Star Wars|potbowl helmet]]. I grew up on a rock named Czarnia, which was full of dweebs. So when I took chemistry in high school, I mixed up [[The Virus|somethin' special]] to show 'em [[Kill 'Em All|how I really felt]]. [[Doomed Hometown|Fragged every last one of them]] for that year's Science project, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|gave myself an A]]. Anyways, afterwards I got hold of a chain and hook, and a nice bike, and I've pretty much been boozin' and fightin' my way across the galaxy ever since.
 
Some of the nerds around here might try to tell ya I'm some sort of parody of a [[Nineties Anti -Hero]], but try laughin' at the Main Man and I'll blow yer head off. In any case I predate most of them, first appearing in ''"Omega Men''" #3 (June, 1983). Records of my life turned up in my own 4 issue mini-series (November, 1990-February, 1991). The readers seemed to love it, as more mini-series turned up and sold well. I next got my own regular series which lasted for 64 issues, from December, 1993 to July, 1999. Not that I ever stopped appearing in the pages of series named after other guys.
 
Other'n that, I'm pretty much what I look like. Oh, and I [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|like dolphins.]] What, ya think that's funny? Waitaminnit. [[Amusing Injuries|There, here's yer spine back.]]
----
=== The Main Man owns the followin' Tropes: ===
 
* [[Amusing Alien]]
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Frequently inflicted onto others.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: People try to put me as a Type V.
* [[Apocalypse How]]: That one time I found [[The Mask (Comic Bookcomics)|The Mask]].
* [[Badass Biker]]
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: I can [[Up to Eleven|smoke a fukken cigar]] in space.
Line 27:
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: The best around!
* [[Cigar Chomper]]
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: They don't call it [[Subverted Trope|frag grenade]] fer nuthin', ya know!
* [[Contractual Immortality]]: Heaven and Hell both kicked me out, so now I can't die.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: In ''[[Tiny Titans]],'' I work as the school coach. Once made my students run a race around the world.
* [[Exact Words]]: The Main Man's word is his bond. Mostly.
* [[From a Single Cell]]: There was [[Young Justice (Comic Bookcomics)|this time]] I got de-aged and died, and every cell in my blood ended up creating a new Lobo. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Then we all fought to the death, with the winner (yours truly) fragging anybody in his way ever since.]]
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Not only can I rip a spine right out of a body, I can make a homemade Virus and hack the JL's satilite!
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: After [[Superman|the Big Blue Boyscout]] seemed like he bought it on the [[Justice League]] cartoon, yours truly showed up to take his place, since no one else besides the Main Man woulda been man enough to do it. Some of [[Villain Team -Up|Superman's enemies]] tried goin' after us, and I ended up fightin' that tutu-wearin', daisy-sniffin, showtune-singin', broccoli-eatin', [[Overly Long Gag|sensitivity-expressin']] panty-waist Kalibak. I ended up buryin' him under a pile of smashed cars until the little sissy-mary finally agreed to say "Uncle". It was a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], but as you mighta guessed the Main Man tends to specialize in that sorta thing.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Can't have enough.
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]: [[Brad Garrett]] (of ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'') has the honor of voicin' the Main Man in my TV [[Superman: theThe Animated Series|cartoon]] [[Justice League (animation)|appearances]].
* [[Hooks and Crooks]]
* [[Hypocritical Heartwarming]]: Darlene thinks I'm a pervert who objectifies women... Hey, [[I Can Live With That]], but if any ''other'' pervert comes into Al's Diner and tries to get fresh with her, he's leaving in a body bag.
* [[Karma Houdini]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: Does the nickname "Mr. Machete" mean anything to you?
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
