Fictional character biography
Jonas Glim is an alien who was born on Manson's World. His father Jeremiah Glim was alcoholic and abused him, intending for Jonas to become a bounty hunter. Jeremiah gives Jonas the Krupps 101, a weapon noted for its wide variety in firepower. Soon after, Jonas kills his father and becomes a bounty hunter.
Jonas meets and becomes friends with Lobo, as they work for the same agency. Together, they torment and beat the hero Goldstar. At one point, the two take advantage of Goldstar's mental illness and enslave him. Around this time, Jonas loses most of his left tusk.
At some point, Jonas Glim assists when Lobo finds a pleasing lead. It concerns a gang leader, the only man who has ever beaten Lobo in a fight.

Lobo jumps through the timestream to alter the fight so he wins, which unintentionally and temporarily transforms Jonas into a frog-like creature.
