Fictional character biography
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]
