Maximus Lobo is a fictional character, a mutant appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in The Uncanny X-Men #417.
Maximus Lobo is part of the Dominant Species, a group of mutants with wolf-like abilities akin to werewolves. He runs the company Lobo Technologies, a subsidiary of Worthington Enterprises owned by X-Men member Warren Worthington III (Archangel). [1]
In White Plains, New York, the headquarters of Lobo Technologies, Lobo and the Dominant Species slaughter a small group of humans. When a team of X-Men arrive to investigate the murder, Lobo and the Dominant Species confront the X-Men and force them to retreat. [2] Lobo pursues Archangel and Husk, who learn of his plan to illegally sell Stark Enterprises products under the Lobo Technologies logo. When the rest of the X-Men arrived to help Archangel and Husk, Lobo created an explosion to cover his escape. [3]
During the "Dark Reign" storyline, Lobo is revealed to have lost his mutant powers during M-Day. While researching potential threats and allies for Norman Osborn, Quasimodo states that Lobo would have made a good ally if he still had his powers. [4] Following the events of "X-Men: Messiah Complex", Maximus is confronted by Wolf Cub, who he previously attempted to manipulate into joining his cause. [5]
Maximus Lobo is a lycanthrope able to assume a werewolf form with superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, senses, and powerful claws and fangs. He claimed that his bones had evolved to be naturally stronger than adamantium.
