Superman vs Lobo's Disgusting Villain Is Even Grosser in Fan Art Statue
Numen has been a thorn in the side of both Superman and Lobo, and now this disgusting being gets even grosser in a new, fan-made statue. The central adversary in the recent Superman vs Lobo Black Label mini-series, Numen was created by writers Tim Seeley and Sarah Beattie and artist Mirka Andolfo, and Seeley took to social media to share his amazing find.

He has come to contact with Superman on several occasions; the Man of Steel is one of the few Earth heroes who is a true match for Lobo in terms of strength and endurance, leading to some truly epic fights.
