psychoanalysing lobo

I find DC's Lobo to be a psychologically interesting character. I see in Lobo aspects of Nietzscheanism-in-the-extreme, which itself is the consequence of being an "indictment of the the Punisher, Wolverine, hero prototype." More specifically, I see Lobo as a type of alien Ubermensch characterized by complete freedom from moral conventions (he does whatever he wills, from the genocide of his own people to killing Santa Claus, possessing the ultimate will-to-power, which I'd argue is inherently sadistic in Nietzsche's philosophy) and the creation of his own personal code of honour (e.g., never violating the letter of an agreement, even though he may willfully violate its spirit).

To me, Lobo exhibits a type of radical individuality that seeks to 'transcend' the world of lesser letzte Mensch in order to lord over it (alive or not). His very being embodies the things Thus Spoke Zarathustra praises and conventional/Christian morality condemns, particularly sex, the 'lust to rule,' and selfishness. His suffering, if indeed he has any, is drowned out by continuously creating and overcoming himself (quite literally, in fact, when he eventually fights his own clone). And his actions ultimately personify the spirit of this passage from The Dawn: "The striving for excellence is the striving to overwhelm one's neighbor, even if only very indirectly or only in one's own feelings or even dreams."

Of course, this may be a crude understanding (even misunderstanding) of Nietzsche's Ubermensch; but I believe that many of his ideas essentially praise and promote aspects of psychopathy when taken to their logical conclusion, and Lobo is the ultimate DC psychopath. And I think it rather intriguing when viewing Lobo from this perspective to also consider his actions from a Freudian perspective, and how his psychopathic behaviour can be seen as representing a megalomaniac attempt to transcend his castration anxiety extraordinaire via rejecting/transcending traditional morality, and effectively 'castrating' society first, through mindless and all-encompassing violence. I think much the same can be said about the Joker's 19th century Russian nihilism, as well.
