HistoryEdit

Lobe is the leader of a team working for John Sublime. He purchased the remaining Predator X's, and infused them with nanomachine spies. He then led his team to capture Scalphunter and forced him to fly a jet containing the Predator X's to Utopia. After the X-Men defeated the Predators, the nanomachines were released from the bodies and spied on all the mutants, analyzing the fighting styles, powers, and DNA. The nanobots then transmitted to Lube, who able to use it to enhance his team's capabilities, and give himself Wolverine's healing factor, with the ultimate goal being to replicate their powers for everybody on Earth.

Once Fantomex destroyed Lobe's central computer, his team lost their fighting edge, and were defeated. Lobe then released HX-NI, the influenza-based mutant plague, revealing that he was working for John Sublime. He and his team escaped, and his base exploded. The explosion was green like the plague gas, and was released high above the streets of Manhattan from a skyscraper, but that didn't seem to worry the X-Men at the time.

Lobe next released the HX-NI virus on Utopia. In addition to the flu-like symptoms, it had the added effect of suppressing mutant powers, while being completely harmless to baseline humans. At this time, Lobe also debuted his imitation X-Men, five humans who were given copies of the original X-Men's powers using a genetically tailored nanovirus. Lobe then contacted Cyclops and offered him the cure for the mutant plague in exchange for sole commercial rights to the mutant genome.

While Lobe was showcasing an inhalant that could give an ordinary human mutant powers to shareholders, planning on commercializing mutant powers, the X-Men decided to break quarantine and confront Lobe. Lobe tried to subdue the X-Men with his virus, only to discover that anyone who breathed in his inhalant would be susceptible too. Therefore, he was forced to release his cure. Cyclops then promised Lobe that they will sue him for everything.
