But Peter David was like There Is No Way For Wolverine To Beat Lobo In A Fight. Wolverine has a great healing factor, but Lobo can regenerate his whole body from a single drop of blood. There is no way for Wolverine to win. But that's what the fans picked, so that's what Peter David had to write.

The entire Wolverine vs Lobo fight happens behind a bar, and Wolverine stands up at the end as the victor.

And then IIRC it was later implied that Lobo was paid to take a dive.

Speaking of the Marvel and DC stuff, I get why certain characters are paired up: Captain America and Batman, Hulk and Superman, etc. But like... why was Spider-Man paired up with Superboy? I know literally nothing about the latter, so anyone wanna shed light on that?
