Originally, the Czarnian bounty hunter was supposed to be involved <em>Future Wife<\/em>but the King and Bilquis cut him off from the story at the last minute. Now, <em>Supergirl<\/em> offers a chance to see how he would fit into the story of a graphic novel &#8211; and, if DC Studios boss James Gunn is to be believed, Lobo will be an integral part of <em>Supergirl<\/em>the story of.
