Lobo – 'assassin, brigand, sociopath, monster,' and 'scourge of the cosmos' – is a bounty hunter doing his regular duty of picking up a small time thief when all of a sudden he's intercepted by The Preserver. In his pursuit of collecting the rarest creatures from all over the universe, he forcibly 'hires' Lobo to retrieve the final specimen of the planet Krypton: Superman.

Episode Notes
 
Sherman Howard, who voices the Preserver, played Lex Luthor in The Adventures of Superboy. Howard was orginally going to play Lex Luthor for this series, but the producers liked Clancy Brown's performance better.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Professor Hamilton: It was our honor, Superman. To study a vehicle like this is any scientist's dream. Where did you say you kept it all these years?
Superman: I didn't.
 
Lobo: It's always sweeter collecting a reward knowing that you beat some other geek out of it.
 
Lois: I'm confused, Kent. See, I've lived in Metropolis most of my life and I can't figure out how some yokel from Smallville is suddenly getting every hot story in town.
Clark: Well, Lois, the truth is I'm actually Superman in disguise and I only pretend to be a journalist in order to hear about disasters as they happen, and then squeeze you out of the byline.
Lois: You're a sick man, Kent.
 
Lobo: The name's Lobo. That's L as in 'lacerate', O as in 'obliterate', B as in 'disembowel', and O as in, uh... ah, I guess I can use 'obliterate' twice, huh, what do you think?
Superman: I think you're a certifiable madman.
Lobo: Thanks.
 
Police Officer: What is it?
Superman: I don't know. I've never seen a creature like this...
Lobo: I love you too.
 
Lobo: You actually care about them geeks!
Superman: They're human beings.
Lobo: Yeah, well, they're gonna have to make due with other big blue babysitter from now on. You see, someone's paid me a heap of cash for your carcass, and the Main Man, always delivers.
 
Lobo: Now, the more you move, the worse it will hurt, so feel free to go crazy.
 
Lois: Give him one for me. MAKE IT A DOZEN!
 
Lobo: You know, I believe that Lois gal might be getting a tad lonely now that you're doing time in a cosmic petting zoo. Maybe I go back and cheer her up.
