Question 1. Does Lobo only produce clones when he's made to externally bleed, or can he just conjure them out of thin air?
Question 2. If the answer to #1 is "no", why is it assumed Hulk has to make Lobo bleed in order to knock him out? Most boxing matches that end in knockouts don't have visibly bleeding fighters. Most Hulk comic book fights don't either. Why is it assumed this one will?
Question 3. When these clones are produced, are they necessarily working together? I seem to remember a story arc or 2 where Lobo clones actively worked AGAINST one another.
Question 4. Is it only forum rules preventing Hulk from reaching higher levels, despite what the comics themselves show, or is there an actual logical reason for him not doing so here?
1. Needs to bleed. He's cut himself before to make them, IIRC.
2. See 1. If needed, he can cut himself.
3. When Lil Lobo (I.e. the magically de aged Lobo) had the blood clones, they united and ran rampant on Apokolips. Then fought each other, after there was nothing left to fight. IOW, they will fight each other, but not at the expense of losing. Don't forget, he's a genius as well.
4. Forum rules, PLUS character. It took an extreme amount to get him ramping up past those levels - he didn't ramp up to those levels when Strange blew a hole through him, when Ghost Rider choked him, when Sentry beat the gamma out of him, when Herc was beating him up, etc.
