Bizarro () is a supervillain actualization in American comic books published by DC Comics. The graphic symbol was created by writer Otto Binder and artist George Papp as a "mirror image" of Superman and starting time appeared in Superboy #68 (1958).^[1]

Debuting in the Silverish Historic period of Comic Books (1956 – c. 1970), the character has often been portrayed as an antagonist to Superman, though on occasion he also takes on an anti-hero part, and has appeared in both comic books and graphic novels as well equally other DC Comics-related products such as animated and live-activeness boob tube series, trading cards, toys, and video games.

Publication history [edit]

Bizarro debuted in Superboy #68 (encompass-dated October 1958, but on auction in August^[2]), writer Otto Folder casting the character as a Frankenstein'southward monster pastiche that possessed all the powers of Superboy.^[3] Shunned for his unenviable appearance, the teen version of Bizarro but appeared in a single comic book story. An adult version appeared effectually the aforementioned time in the Superman daily newspaper comic strip written past Alvin Schwartz, debuting in Episode 105: "The Battle With Bizarro" (strips 6147–6242: August 25, 1958 to Dec 13, 1958). According to comics historian Mark Evanier, Schwartz long claimed that he originated the Bizarro concept prior to the character'southward appearance in Superboy.^[4] The newspaper storyline introduced the strange speech patterns that became synonymous with the character, with all of Bizarro's comments meaning the opposite (e.yard. "bad" means "good"). The newspaper version wore a "B" on his breast, as opposed to Superman's distinctive "South".^[five]

Schwartz stated:^[6]

I was striving, you might say, for that mirror-epitome, that opposite. And out of a machine which would reveal the negative Superman, came the mirror epitome – always remembering that in a mirror everything is reversed... The times were such that i-dimensional characters, your standard superheroes, even in comics, seemed rather simplistic, like paper cutting-outs. What was demanded was the full dimensional personality – a figure that carried a shadow, if you like. I was certainly inspired to some degree also by C. Chiliad. Jung's archetype of "the shadow" – and Bizarro certainly reflected that, besides.

Binder introduced the adult version of the character into the Superman comic volume, this time wearing an "S", in Activeness Comics #254 (July 1959).^[7] Bizarro proved pop, and eventually starred in a Bizarro Earth feature in Chance Comics for fifteen issues, running from issue #285–299 (June 1961 – August 1962),^[8] as well as in a special all-Bizarro 80-Page Behemothic (Superman #202, December 1967/January 1968). The character made twoscore appearances^[9] in the Superman family of titles – Activity Comics, Superman, Superman'south Pal Jimmy Olsen, Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, Gamble Comics, Secret Social club of Super Villains, and DC Comics Presents – from 1959 to 1984, prior to a reboot of the DC Universe as a outcome of the limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths #1–12 (April 1985 – March 1986).

Bizarro was reintroduced into the DC Universe in a one-off appearance with characterization similar to his original Superboy advent in Superman: The Human of Steel #5 (December 1986). He was subsequently revived in the "Bizarro'due south World" serial that ran through the Superman titles in March and April 1994, and in Action Comics Annual #eight in 1996. An unrelated four-issue limited series titled A. Bizarro (July–October) was published in 1999.

Notwithstanding another version was introduced during the "Emperor Joker" storyline in September–October 2000. Remaining in DC Comics continuity, this Bizarro continued to brand semi-regular invitee appearances that firmly established the grapheme equally part of the Superman mythos.

Fictional grapheme biography [edit]

Pre-Crisis Bizarro [edit]

Full general Zod's Bizarro Ground forces [edit]

Full general Dru-Zod had originally created bizarro duplicates of himself to dominate the planet Krypton. The Bizarros had no power because they were not nether a xanthous sunday, but they were soldiers ready to impale and die without hesitation. This was the reason why Zod was banished to the Phantom Zone for 25 Krypton sunday-cycles.^[10]

Bizarro-Superboy [edit]

Some 12 years later on, totally oblivious to these facts, a scientist on Globe is demonstrating his newly invented "duplicating ray" to Superboy, and an accident causes the ray to duplicate the superhero. The re-create, quickly labeled "Bizarro", is a flawed imitation as it possesses chalky white skin and artless erratic behavior. Shunned by the people of Smallville, Bizarro befriends a blind daughter named Melissa, and loses all hope when he realizes that the daughter did not shun or abscond from him because she was bullheaded. Superboy is eventually forced to "kill" the "less than perfect" clone, using the remains of the duplicating machine, which acts like blue kryptonite (as opposed to green kryptonite, Superboy's weakness) on the re-create. The whole business organisation proved unexpectedly easy as Bizarro deliberately destroyed himself by colliding with the duplicating car's fragment. The ensuing explosion miraculously restores Melissa'due south eyesight.^[xi]

Bizarro #1 [edit]

Years afterward, Superman'due south arch-foe Lex Luthor recreates the "duplicating ray" and uses it on the hero, hoping to control the indistinguishable that became known as Bizarro #1. The Bizarro that is created, however, is confused, stating: "Me not homo... me not beast... me non even animal! Me unhappy! Me don't vest in world of living people! Me don't know difference between right and wrong – good and evil!"^[6] Luthor is arrested past Bizarro for re-creating him, but forgotten equally Bizarro attempts to emulate Superman, creating havoc in the city of Metropolis and nigh exposing Superman'south secret identity equally Clark Kent. When Bizarro falls in honey with reporter Lois Lane, she uses the duplicating ray on herself to create a "Bizarro Lois", who is instantly attracted to Bizarro. In addition, he also used the duplicating ray on himself to create "New Bizarro" who later dies from exposure to Light-green Kryptonite. The Bizarros leave Earth together, determined to notice a dwelling where they can exist themselves.^[12]

Superman encounters the couple once again, discovering that Bizarro – at present called Bizarro #1 – has used a version of the duplication ray to create an entire world of Bizarros, who now reside on a cube-shaped planet called "Htrae" (Earth spelled backwards).^[13] Bizarro #1 and Bizarro-Lois #one also give nascency to a kid who, while super-powered, appears to be totally man. Considered a freak by Bizarro standards (out of resentment for the way he was treated by Earth humans, Bizarro #1 made a law that they must act the contrary of humans, causing no stop of lunacy), the kid is the catalyst for a brief war between Htrae and Earth.^[fourteen] Bluish Kryptonite is also invented during this state of war, as well as the temporary existence of Bizarro-Supergirl. Bizarro also has a serial of adventures on Htrae, aiding a normal Jimmy Olsen when he is accidentally trapped there,^[15] preventing an invasion of blue kryptonite statues,^[xvi] and stopping the Bizarro version of Titano.^[17]

Bizarro's influence is also felt on Earth: Jimmy Olsen is inadvertently turned into a Bizarro for a while,^[18] and a new teen version of Bizarro travels to the 30th century and attempts to join the Legion of Super-Heroes. When he is rejected past the Legion, the Bizarro teen creates his own Bizarro version of the Legion, which Superboy eventually persuades him to disband.^[xix]

When Bizarro encounters Superman in one case again, his powers are now the opposite of Superman's (such equally freeze vision equally opposed to estrus vision and oestrus jiff rather than freeze breath), and he attempts to kidnap Lois Lane.^[20] Bizarro besides temporarily joins the Secret Lodge of Super Villains to battle the Justice League of America and Helm Comet.^{[21] [22]}

Bizarro appears in the Alan Moore-scripted "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", in Superman #423 (September 1986). Bizarro goes berserk and destroys the Bizarro Globe and its inhabitants, then travels to Metropolis and wreaks havoc before abruptly committing suicide. This and many other deaths turn out to exist the machinations of Mister Mxyzptlk, who had begun a rampage of crime. Superman is unable to undo the deaths, but kills Mxyzptlk and and so uses gilded kryptonite on himself.

Bizarro's last pre-Crisis advent was in DC Comics Presents #97 (September 1986), which was also the final issue of that series. Later being empowered by a hideously disfigured Phantom Zone sorcerer, Mr. Mxyzptlk destroys Zrfff and then causes the Bizarro world to implode, killing all its inhabitants. Bizarro's severed head crashes onto Clark Kent's desk and addresses Clark Kent before his simulated life ends. Bizarro does not appear in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently because of this story's events.

This story directly contradicts a Earth's Finest story where it is revealed that sometime in the future, Htrae is transformed into a more than normal world (egg-shaped rather than cubical) by the radiation from an exploding celestial body. The Bizarros are changed into normal people without powers, only however retain vestiges of their Bizarro laws (defunction hung exterior the windows of a house, etc.).^[23]

Postal service-Crisis [edit]

Project Changeling [edit]

Later on the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Lex Luthor orders his scientific team to create a clone of Superman that was part of Project Changeling. Incorrectly starting from the assumption that Superman is a human with metahuman abilities (his alien origin had not yet been revealed), the process results in a flawed copy, which Luthor dismissively refers to as "...this bizarre – Oh, forget it", before ordering for the subject to be tending of. The clone survives and, although mute and possessed of only limited intelligence and vague memories of Clark Kent's life, attempts to mimic Superman. He kidnaps Lois Lane and is finally destroyed when colliding with Superman in mid-air.^[24] Each time he exerted himself, the clone crumbled slightly. When Lois Lane's sister, who had been blinded in a terrorist attack, is exposed to Bizarro'south grit, she regains her sight. While Superman had non expected this effect, he speculated that Bizarro heard the sister explain her fractional recovery and may take deliberately allowed himself to be killed in order to cure her.^[25]

Bizarro II [edit]

A 2d Bizarro, able to speak and remember better due to genetic engineering by Luthor, appears in a five-issue substory in the clone plague story-arc titled "Bizarro'southward Globe" (kickoff in Superman vol. 2 #87). Earlier he died, this Bizarro seriously injured Happersen, kidnapped Lois, created a ramshackle dummy version of Metropolis in a warehouse (to parody Superman'southward frequently rescuing Lois, he deliberately exposed her to and "rescued" her from one lethal danger after another), abducted Lana Lang, proposed to Lois and finally died in Luthor's labs.^[26] During this period, Superman also had to cope with an unending increase in his powers due to exposure to "purple kryptonite" in the climax of the Decease of Superman and Reign of the Supermen story-arcs.^[27]

Dabney Donovan's Bizarro [edit]

1 other Bizarro is created using Lex Luthor's clone process, by Lex Luthor'southward estranged married woman Contessa Portenza and Dabney Donovan soon after Superman regained his normal powers when he expended his electromagnetic ones. This Bizarro abducted Lex Luthor's infant girl and intended to send her past rocket to another planet, emulating Kal-El'southward escape from Krypton. His pile of explosives and bombs, meant to launch the rocket, would have killed her instead, and Superman had to shield her when Bizarro threw the launch switch. Bizarro III, already self-destructing from a genetic booby trap encoded into him by his creator, perished in the explosion.^[28]

Joker's Bizarro/Bizarro #one [edit]

Another version of Bizarro possesses all the abilities of Superman simply with a childlike mentality and method of speech. He is created by Batman's arch-enemy the Joker when the villain steals the powers of the fifth-dimensional imp Mister Mxyzptlk. Creating a twisted version of Earth called "Jokerworld" – a perfect cube with Joker'southward image on each facet – the villain designates Bizarro to be the planet'southward greatest hero and leader of a reimagined "JLA" (the "Joker'due south League of Anarchy"). When Mxyzptlk regains his powers, the imp allows Bizarro and several other beings to remain on the restored Earth.^{[29] [30] [31] [32] [33]}

Bizarro suffers a setback when captured by the Pokolistanian dictator General Zod. Zod beats and tortures Bizarro, simply because the creature resembles Superman. The hero rescues Bizarro, and to help him adjust to the normal Earth rebuilds Bizarro'southward "Graveyard of Solitude" (the contrary of Superman's Fortress of Solitude).^[34]

During the "Infinite Crisis" storyline, Bizarro is tricked into joining the reformed Undercover Society of Super Villains by Flash's foe Zoom. In a battle with the Freedom Fighters Bizarro accidentally kills the Human Bomb, repeatedly hitting the hero to see the flashes of calorie-free that are produced from the kinetic energy of the blows.^[35]

Bizarro becomes involved when Kryptonian criminals, led by General Zod, escape to Earth.^[36] Wishing to create a home for himself, Bizarro travels into deep space to a solar organization occupied by a blueish sun. After creating a cube shaped planet, filled with distorted versions of various buildings and locations on Earth, Bizarro is still lonely. The blue sun, even so, gives Bizarro a new ability chosen "Bizarro Vision", which allows him to create new Bizarros. When this fails, Bizarro kidnaps Jonathan Kent, Superman's adopted father on Earth. Superman rescues his father and helps Bizarro become his earth'southward greatest hero.^[37]

Bizarro eventually appears on the planet Throneworld, befriending and aiding Earth hero Adam Strange and allies Prince Gavyn, Captain Comet, and the Weird. Together they participate in the war between alien worlds Rann and Thanagar,^[38] and against villains Lady Styx and Synnar.^[39] Bizarro eventually visits the grave of a deceased Jonathan Kent, and is so sent (past rogue Kryptonians) with other Superman foes to the inter-dimensional prison, the Phantom Zone.^[40]

Bizarro has a serial of encounters with former Surreptitious Gild ally Solomon Grundy,^[41] and during the events of Blackest Nighttime, Bizarro confronts the Blackness Lantern version of Grundy. Bizarro destroys Grundy by driving him into the center of the Dominicus.^[42]

Afterward, while investigating an object that crashes into a Urban center park and leaves a massive crystallized crater in its center, Dr. Light and Gangbuster discover a Bizarro-like creature that resembles Supergirl.^[43] The Bizarro Supergirl takes the heroes hostage, merely is defeated in battle by the existent Supergirl.^[44] It is revealed that the Bizarro Supergirl is a refugee from the cube-shaped Bizarro World, and was sent to Globe by her cousin after their planet was attacked by a being known every bit the Godship. Dr. Light attempts to take the Bizarro Supergirl to S.T.A.R. Labs, only to be violently knocked unconscious past Supergirl, who then absconds with her doppelganger and her ship, hoping to end the Godship and save Bizarro World.^[45] Later on taking Bizarro Supergirl back to Bizarro World, Bizarro Superman is reunited with Bizarro Supergirl.^[46]

The New 52 [edit]

In 2011, The New 52 rebooted the DC Universe. Ii versions of Bizarro first announced in the Forever Evil effect.

Subject A-0 [edit]

Five years ago, Lex Luthor, intending to create his personal army of Supermen, attempted to splice Superman's DNA with human Deoxyribonucleic acid and injected it into a teenage test subject named Bobby. Instead, he transforms into a hulking white-skinned monster with cryonic vision, incendiary jiff, and amnesty to Kryptonite which is labeled "Subject field A-0". Deducing his weakness, Luthor hits him with concentrated solar radiation that oversaturates his cells and kills him. Luthor so takes samples of the beast to continue his experiment, deciding to clone a purely Kryptonian torso. 5 years later, a capsule labeled B-0 is shown.^[47]

Field of study B-0 [edit]

Afterwards the Criminal offense Syndicate takes over the globe, Luthor releases Subject B-0, though his transformation is only halfway through. When he kills a security guard named Otis on Luthor's orders, Luthor is pleased and decides to employ the imperfect clone in his program to take the Syndicate down.^[48] Later, when Luthor and his team of villains pass through a tunnel, B-0 is revealed to be afraid of darkness. Luthor tries to comfort him with a story about his own fears, only ultimately wonders whether the clone was a waste product of time; B-0 then speaks his first words, "Bizarro... try", much to Luthor's surprise.^[49] Though initially hundred-to-one, Luthor grows truly fond of "Bizarro", who proves to be a powerful nugget throughout the outcome.

During the terminal confrontation confronting the World-3 invaders, Bizarro battles Mazahs, the alternate version of Luthor himself; although he initially has the upper hand, Bizarro is fatally wounded and left to die. Luthor desperately tries to fix him, to no avail, and they share a sorrowful farewell. Enraged over the decease of Bizarro, Lex Luthor murders his Earth-iii counterpart, avenging Bizarro. After the battle is over, Luthor restarts the cloning process; when 1 of his scientists states it should take about ten years to fully develop a perfect Kryptonian clone, Luthor corrects him by proverb it will take only five years, revealing he truly intends to create a perfect copy of Bizarro.^[50]

DC Rebirth [edit]

In 2016, DC Comics implemented another relaunch of its books called "DC Rebirth", which restored its continuity to a form much as information technology was prior to "The New 52".

A clone of Bizarro is found inside of a tube in a railroad train car stolen by Black Mask sometime after the Crime Syndicate of America incident. Cherry-red Hood and Artemis leap aboard the train car attempting to steal a weapon, not expecting it to be a clone of Superman. Bizarro somewhen joins Red Hood'due south Outlaws.^[51] During this time, Bizarro is stricken with a sickness which causes his cells to rapidly deteriorate. After saving his teammates in the Outlaws, he dies. Lex Luthor takes his body to effort to resurrect him, on the condition that he be the property of Lexcorp. This results in Bizarro condign extremely smart, surprising his teammates.^[52]

Bizarro and Artemis briefly get trapped in a different dimension simply return to Earth. Bizarro becomes the ruler of Hell after killing Trigon, and plans to be the Ruler of Hell to brand sure Globe is not in danger before saying goodbye to Jason Todd and Artemis.^[53]

Powers and abilities [edit]

By and large, Bizarro'southward powers of strength, invulnerability, and supersonic flight are identical to Superman'southward with the most substantial departure beingness that certain powers are reversed.

• "Freeze vision" unleashes twin beams of subzero lite from his eyes which instantaneously freezes anything or anyone on contact; inducing frostbite and fifty-fifty hypothermia.
• "Flame jiff" allows him to breathe a superheated napalm-like substance which causes astringent burns with minimal contact and even melt steel at maximum intensity.
• "Vacuum breath" instead of super breath
• "Bizarro telescopic vision" which allows Bizarro to come across a "short distance behind his head" rather than a "long distance in forepart of his head"
• "Bizarro microscopic vision" which makes objects "actually smaller to everyone" rather than but "appear to exist bigger to only the user"
• "Bizarro X-ray vision" which allows Bizarro to "just see through pb" rather than the ability to "see through anything except lead"
• "Telescopic X-ray vision" which acquired Bizarro to shoot x-rays from his eyes from "50 miles around".^[54]

Similarly, Bizarro'south weaknesses are reversed: greenish Kryptonite has an empowering touch on on him - healing his wounds and strengthening his body like to the furnishings of yellowish sunlight on Superman - while merely blueish Kryptonite (the reverse of greenish Kryptonite) affects Bizarro adversely in the same manner that the former does with normal Kryptonians; causing him debilitating pain and diminishing his superpowers.

Other versions [edit]

All-Star Superman [edit]

The limited series All-Star Superman (Jan 2006 – October 2008) features Bizarro clones from an alternative universe chosen the "Underverse". They tin can "infect" a normal human and change them into a Bizarro clone by touch.^[55] Ane of these creatures is chosen "Zibarro" and is unique in that he has intellect and a roughly human being appearance, traits which he considered to be sources of scorn from his fellow Bizarros, resulting in a social isolation and loneliness he attempted to combat through artwork. When Superman was stranded in the Underverse, Zibarro helped him marshal the other Bizarros into building a rocketship that could send Kal-El home - Zibarro briefly considered taking Superman'due south identify in the rocket, but realized he had no way of knowing he would find any more credence among humans than his kinsmen. Before leaving, Superman advised him that rather than an aberration, Zibarro may be prove of increasing intelligence on the part of Bizarro-Abode, and encouraged him to keep up his piece of work; Superman had a segment of Zibarro's poetry preserved in Superlaminite within his Fortress of Solitude after returning dwelling house.^[56]

Amalgam Comics [edit]

An amalgamation of Bizarro and Carnage, Bizarnage was made through a botched experiment at Project Cadmus in an attempt to replicate alien Dna. The white, goopy creature they created went crazy and began destroying everything and anybody in its fashion. And then Spider-Boy arrived and battled him. Bizarnage wanted to be Spider-Boy, and so he tried insanely to kill him, only was eventually defeated by getting tricked by Spider-Boy and sucked into an energy containment unit.

Superboy Comics [edit]

Having no choice, the technician looks over the diary, which tells the story of the classic cube-shaped backwards Bizarro World. Superman accidentally finds himself in that location and, to allay people's fears of him, goes on a "constructive rampage." The original Bizarro, a.one thousand.a. Bizarro #one, goes to Earth and attempts to stop Superman with the assist of his friends. However, when the other Bizarros try to impale Superman, #one stops them, saying that killing is the earthly affair that they must, above all, do the opposite of. Realizing that, however strange the Bizarro World might be, its inhabitants are safer and happier than those of Earth thanks to Bizarro #ane'south leadership, Superman apologizes. To show his sincerity he hides a copy of the Bizarro Code where nobody volition ever see it. The people hold a parade in #i'south laurels and with his loving married woman Bizarro Lois #ane and their son, Bizarro Junior #1 at his side, Bizarro cries saying "Me am ... happiest beast in universe." When the technician finishes reading the story, he sees Bizarro is gone and, horrified, asks – what if the periodical itself is no exception to the Bizarro Lawmaking? Elsewhere, the truth is revealed; Bizarro, who has no home and no family and is held in contempt past Superman, weeps considering he is the nearly miserable animal in the universe.

Earth-Two Pre-Crisis [edit]

In Superman Family #219, Superman encountered an animated lifeless version of his Flight Tiger modify ego, which he used the previous event to fabricate a criminal career in order to runway down the supplier of Kryptonite to various crooks. Ascertaining that this Flying Tiger was an enlarged iii-dimensional version of a picture fatigued of him in the Daily Star, Superman ensnared this Tiger in a trap whereby the demented duplicate was crippled by Kryptonite radiation. Superman realized that this Flying Tiger not but had his abilities only also his weaknesses, and after defeating him he tracked down his creator, Funny Face. Although Funny Face transformed Lois Lane Kent into a two-dimensional drawing, equally he had done years earlier, Superman was able to restore her to normal and transform the fake Flying Tiger dorsum into a drawing on a folio.

Trinity [edit]

In the 2004 graphic novel mini-serial Trinity by Matt Wagner, Bizarro is a genetic clone of Superman that is the consequence of Luthorcorp's "Project Replica". The creature was so sealed away in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, encased within ice, until it was released by Ra'southward al Ghul, who used him as a pawn in his plan to use nuclear warheads to decimate Gotham besides as destroy a cluster of communication satellites, causing a major communications blackout, the end goal of his mission existence to incite chaos and purge the Earth of the "cancer" that is civilisation. After he is injured by Batman'southward use of a adapt of armour and solar pulse lasers, Bizarro's manus is removed by Superman'south rut vision earlier his template throws him into a volcano. This Bizarro is presumably deceased, nonetheless, his hand is turned into red kryptonite at the lesser of the sea.^[59]

Adventures of Superman [edit]

A story in the out-of-continuity digital-beginning album comic volume Adventures of Superman from 2013 past Christos Gage and Eduardo Francisco reveals that Bizarro's penchant for opposites comes as a result of his imperfectly formed encephalon, a discovery which allows Superman and Professor Hamilton to make him talk and think similar a regular person and pursue his desire to be heroic.^[60]

The other comics in the volume (including one brusk Bizarro World story written by Bizarro creator Alvin Schwartz) are presented every bit creations of the deranged mind of Bizarro himself.^[61] The 2005 follow-upwardly anthology Bizarro World features the character less centrally, but includes an introductory story in which the graphic symbol runs an amusement park.^[62]

Cerise Son [edit]

In Superman: Reddish Son, Lex Luthor chose to create his own version of Superman through cloning to gainsay and overcome the original. Luthor decided to crash Sputnik into Metropolis which will bring Superman to the outcome and hopefully let Luthor to gather genetic material of Superman. As planned, Superman arrived in time to stop the deadly crash. The United states of america government claims the probe and Luthor obtained the samples he needs in order to create his copy which proves to be defective and was named "Superman two." Luthor sent Superman 2 off to engage Superman who was attending a state party which Wonder Woman was besides attending. Superman two clashed with Superman over the English Channel and the ii fight. Their boxing was so aggressive it accidentally caused an American nuclear missile to launch. Superman ii proves himself to be a truthful genetic descendant of Superman equally he sacrificed himself to salvage millions from the nuclear explosion.

Earth two [edit]

On World 2 as part of The New 52, Darkseid and Steppenwolf created a clone of Superman which they dub Brutaal.^[63] Subsequently beingness snapped out of Darkseid's control by his married woman Lois Lane (who in this reality inhabits the current of air-manipulating robot torso known as Cerise Tornado), Superman and Red Tornado get out for the Kent Family unit's farm.^[64] After a protracted battle with Globe two's superheroes, in particular Dark-green Lantern (Alan Scott) and a younger Kryptonian named Val-Zod, he is revealed to exist scaling and decomposing. Realizing he is a Bizarro-type clone and that his ability is waning, the Superman clone is destroyed by Lois using a cyclone blast from her hand.^[65]

Globe 29 [edit]

On Earth 29 that is filled with Bizarros, Bizarro is a member of the Unjustice League of America. Afterward the Unjustice League "saved" Metropolis from their globe's Metallo, Superman arrived on Earth 29 and briefly fought Bizarro until it was interrupted by Metallo. Doomsday subsequently appeared on Earth 29 and Bizarro destroyed information technology upon seeing it as a threat. Though this caused Bizarro to become infected and transform into Doomzarro who started to infect his earth. Though Bizarro's will was potent plenty to overcome Doomsday and flew into the sun to become the infection out of him. Surviving the lord's day, Bizarro returned to his Earth to win Lois Lane'south "hate".^[66]

Bizarro of Earth 29 later formed the Terribles consisting of Mister Terrible (a Bizarro version of Mister Terrific), Disposable Man (a Bizarro version of Plastic Man), Change-O-Shape-O (a Bizarro version of Metamorpho), and Figment Girl (a Bizarro version of Phantom Daughter) in his plot to destroy Prime World'southward technology through time travel.^[67]

Bizarro of Globe 29 and the Terribles are among the villains recruited by Lex Luthor to join the Legion of Doom in an all-out war with the Justice League.^[68]

Justice [edit]

In Justice, Bizarro was created by Lex Luthor, in an attempt to use early cloning technology to find a means to kill Superman. The results were less than perfect. Once fashioned, even Luthor was incapable of decision-making Superman'southward would-be duplicate. He is shown to have freeze vision, estrus breath, and loves creating devastation, but isn't as intelligent as Superman and is a fellow member of the Legion of Doom. He'southward based on the Silver Age version of Bizarro.

Injustice: Gods Among U.s. [edit]

In the prequel comic to the video game, Lex Luthor comes up with the idea of creating a clone of Superman that can gainsay the corrupt Man of Steel. Still, the clone escapes earlier the process can be completed, resulting in the clone having gray skin and macerated mental capacity. The clone travels to Germany where he meets a man who confuses it with Superman, making the clone assume this is his identity. Giving the clone a Superman suit with the Southward backwards, the clone goes on to try to found peace – just because he lacks mutual sense and a basic understanding of human means, he inadvertently wreaks havoc and kills Atmospheric condition Wizard and Heatwave. The Trickster is able to accept advantage of the clone's mental limitation to convince him they are friends and the "imposter" Superman is his enemy. The clone becomes known to the Authorities, with Superman meeting him as Solomon Grundy is being captured.
