You guys are both incorrect. Lobo was originally supposed to be an over the top parody of Wolverine in particular and the anti-hero archetype that was popular in the 80s and 90s. Incidentally enough Lobo co-creator Keith Giffen also created Lunatik for Marvel who is a parody of Lobo as well.

Deadpool by the way was a parody of DC Comics Deathstroke the Terminator. As Rob Liefeld designed him based on Deathstroke. The name Wade Wilson is also a parody on Deathstroke's real name: Slade Wilson.
