Jonas Glim is a fictional character in DC Comics. He first appeared in Lobo #1 (December 1993), and was created by writer Alan Grant and artist Val Semeiks.
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.
