when taker first came up (it was actually dibiase the million dollar man who intro'd him to the wwf) he was AWESOME--unbeatable. lol i recall there was talk that he'd pinned hogan in some non-televised match but i was never sure.
as for the match--probably lobo for a slight majority. that could change dramatically depending on the version of lobo of course.
Members need to change the tune of their beat. All this talk about which version of Lobo, is becoming redundant.
As a Fan, and more importantly working on redoing Lobo's respect thread. I've come to realize that Lobo has been consistently strong since his introduction. He's been a team wrecker since Justice League International #018 way back in 1987.
Even by current times, he is still a team wrecker; Teen Titans, Shadow Pact, Green Lanterns etc..
And thats just Lobo outside his own books.

Truth. And when will the respect thread be done?
Lobo FTW! But a good fight.

I can't give you a date, this one is going to be massive. But this is what I've got so far.

YES!
I've run into too many otherwise reasonable posters that simply dismiss Lobo as some kind of joke, no matter what feats of arguments you make. Matched Etrigan the Demon? PIS, Etrigan has even higher feats. Near literally laughed off Desperos punches? Also PIS, because Despero punked Martian Manhunter who MUST be above Lobo and has better feats.
And they'll use Superman speed blitzing Lobo ad nausm in their counter arguments, which is ONE fight of many between the characters. But of course, the time Lobo punked Supes is PIS...
There's always an excuse or reason to dismiss him. It can be kind of irritating, if you're a fan.
Here are a few new scans that are not found in any Lobo respect thread. Hot of the scanner.
Lobo resists survives a trip through a black hole.

Here is another. With his clones, Lobo could instantly repopulate Czarnia. Fabricate weapons potent to wreck entire solar systems....That No force in the Universe would be able to stand up to such an army.

in my case, "version" may have been the wrong term. fact is though that he is depicted differently by different writers. there are times i would say he would definitely beat thor, but there are times i can see thor winning some. he's always tough, but the level of toughness does vary from time to time. some of his regeneration feats alone would make it almost impossible for him to lose this. trying to take a most average or consistent showing for lobo is hard, which is why i say typically he'd win the majority but thor could certainly take some imo.

What about Lobo losing to Wolverine in Marvel vs DC? Non-Canon am i rite? Yet even in the same comic, they had Lobo fistcuffing with Thanos. The City being torn to bits by the two.

You should totally add the scan where Lobo says in his own title how Xavier paid him to throw the fight. 😎
I don't look to define the character by variations. The way I look at Lobo is as followed;
On average he is a Superman class brawler. Point, blank, period. And thats in the main stream books, making his guest appearance.
In his own book his feats/showings escalate into higher highs. But go figure its his own book. Its the same case with many characters including Thor.
He routinely jobs more often due the nature of his books, in attempting to portray a humorous scene. Well if your shooting for a humorous book, it comes with the territory. Ask Deadpool, he gets the same treatment.

it's the comedic scenes that make him hard to gauge sometimes though. pool's a decent example except that you'd never see a fart from pool be a cosmic event.

Well ok, but references such as those really come from people trying to downplay Lobo brings up that feat. No real fan will come in, and say. Look Lobo k.o. Thor, by lighting up a match, and blow a fart in his face.
Though legitimately, I don't believe Thor could survive that.
Or how about a real scene. Lobo breaks his hand when he punches Darksied.
That makes no sense, Lobo has sustained far greater punishment than breaking his hand, and continued to fight on. BUT! more importantly, why bring up that scene in the first place? Its Non-Cannon!
These type of arguments, make the member look lame. You kinda like Lobo, but you dont want to see him lose to your fav. chara.
Lame
