Changes: The Lobe

Revision as of 05:23, 7 August 2016

The Lobe, played by David Warner, is Freakazoid's primary nemesis.

History

Lobe's background is never explored. All that is known about him is that he is a super genius with a giant brain for a head. He also has a great deal of low self-esteem, once surrendering just because Freakazoid told him his plan was stupid. He takes great pleasure in his combative relationship with Freakazoid, and is disappointed when Freakazoid does not have the time to properly chase him. Freakazoid and Lobe exchange presents at Christmas.

The Lobe seems to be respected by the villain community at large. Many of Freakazoid's enemies came to watch Lobe's attempted lobotomy of Freakazoid in a huge medical amphitheater. Another time, the Lobe assembles Cave Guy, Cobra Queen, Longhorn and Kid Carrion to try to defeat Freakazoid. He plays outfield in the annual Superheroes-Villains Softball Game.

Lobe's schemes sometimes have an international character, including turning hikers into clowns in the Germanic village of Schnitzel, and terrorizing Europe with a giant cheese ray.

He is shockingly beloved by the staff of the Washington Gardens restaurant, who consider him their favorite customer. Unfortunately, he has been unable to show his face there for years due to his dubious legal status. One night, after Freakazoid foils Lobe's plot to pirate all the TV broadcasts in history (thus crippling the entertainment industry and saving him from programming his VCR), Lobe decides to have a night out on the town and returns to the restaurant. The staff give him an enthusiastic and very musical welcome.

One of the Lobe's more ingenious and elaborate schemes was to publish and disseminate a Superhero Code Book, along with a rumor that no superhero can refuse a request on his birthday. Lobe then told Freakazoid not to bother him, permitting Lobe to run rampant through Washington, D.C., with Freakazoid powerless to stop him, and all the other superheroes away at a conference on some moon. The Lobe's plan was defeated when Freakazoid noticed that the code book was copyrighted by Lobe Industries.

When Lobe's therapist told him he should be more playful, he trapped Freakazoid and Cosgrove in a virtual reality game and let the actual game characters run amok.

Lobe was later among the many villains captured by Dr. Mystico.

Lobe is the primary villain in the series finale, having built the ultimate weapon to destroy Freakazoid, the Lobe Finestra 3000. He and the other villains throw a party as they are about to kill Freakazoid, but they are swiftly defeated, and join in a series-ending musical number.
