Fictional character biography

Jonas Glim is an alien who was born on Manson's World. His father Jeremiah Glim was alcoholic and abused him, intending for Jonas to become a bounty hunter. Jeremiah gives Jonas the Krupps 101, a weapon noted for its wide variety in firepower. Soon after, Jonas kills his father and becomes a bounty hunter. [1]

Jonas meets and becomes friends with Lobo, as they work for the same agency. Together, they torment and beat the often-confused hero Goldstar; at one point they take advantage of his mental illness and turn him into a virtual slave. [2] Around this time, Jonas suffers the loss of most of his left tusk.

At some point, Jonas Glim assists when Lobo finds a pleasing lead. [3] It concerns a gang leader, the only man who has ever beaten Lobo in a fight. The criminal had hidden from Lobo in the timestream using a time-traveling bike. Lobo jumps through the timestream to alter the fight so he wins, which unintentionally and temporarily transforms Jonas into a frog-like creature.

Powers and abilities

Jonas Glim possesses superhuman strength and can survive in the vacuum of space. [4] [5] He is an expert at hand-to-hand combat and the use of firearms, favoring the Krupps 101 energy gun. [6]
