Carlos Lobo is a mutant with the ability to transform into a humanoid wolf under a full moon. Lobo is not a true werewolf, in that his powers derive from mutation and not from supernatural causes. Lobo resembles supernatural werewolves in that his transformations to lupine form occur at the rising of the full moon. He reverts to human form at dawn. While in this form, Lobo possesses various superhuman attributes. He also retains his full level of intelligence and his ability to speak, though his personality is considerably more vicious and dominated by bloodlust.
