Lobo, aka the Main Man, has been a DC staple since the early 90s. His first stories featured him as a villain, but his popularity exploded when he was reinvented as an antihero. Rather than being a generic villain, Lobo became a violent yet humorous character who served as a satire of the grim and gritty figures who populated the era. He had his own solo titles and appeared and starred in multiple other books, with his newfound fandom remaining strong throughout the decade. By 2000, DC produced another successful comedic property in the form of Peter David and Todd Nauck’s Young Justice, and it only made sense for the Czarnian bounty hunter to cross paths with the young heroes.Young Justice began as a team-up of the three most popular young DC heroes of the time: Tim Drake’s Robin, Kon-El’s Superboy, and Bart Allen’s Impulse. With all three boys having their own ongoing titles, David and Nauck felt restricted by what could be done with them. Almost immediately after the book launched, the roster was expanded to include Cassandra Sandsmark’s Wonder Girl, the Impulse supporting character Arrowette, and David and Nauck’s original creation, Secret. These would be the characters the stories primarily centered around, and even more newcomers would be added with time. Their adventures were lighthearted, and they were often regarded as a group of friends who happened to be heroes as opposed to a proper superhero team. In 2000, DC capitalized on the popularity of Young Justice and its adjacent titles and built an event around them: Sins of Youth. This event saw the ages of many of Earth’s heroes inverted by Klarion the Witch Boy; the adults became teenagers and the teenagers became adults. Lobo was inadvertently caught up in this event as well.Upon being magically transformed into a teenager, Lobo was incensed, but nonetheless embraced his new identity as Li’l Lobo. When the event concluded, everyone was reverted to normal – except for Li’l Lobo. Trapped in the body of a teenager (with an altered mind as well), Li’l Lobo felt he could no longer be taken seriously as a bounty hunter. Instead of returning to space, he remained with Young Justice.Related: DC Completely Replaced a Definitive ’90s Superhero Team
