In the mid to late 70's, Bizarro was a member of the Legion of Doom. At that time, he seemed to be quite evil, and cunning although this was likely due to the fact that he was being influenced by the bad association of the other Legion members.

By the early 80's, Bizarro often referred to himself as Bizarro # 1,
since he is the first of his kind.

He soon decides that he wants to become a superhero. And he forms the Bizarro Super Powers Team. His base of operations is the Hall of Injustice, located on the Bizarro World in Bizarro Metropolis. During this time, He often proved to be more of a menace than anything else, since he was so stupid that even though he tried doing good things,
it always turned out bad!

He is an imperfect duplicate of Superman who thinks somewhat like a child.
He uses very childish speech patterns.

His suit is practically identical to Superman's except that the 'S' (shield)
on the chest is backwards.

Background Information

On the paralell-universe of Earth-One, criminal mastermind Lex Luthor once acquired the designs for a Duplicator Ray first envisioned by a scientist named Professor Dalton. Modifying the device, Luthor intended on using it to create a super-strong clone of his nemesis, Superman; a mindless slave who would obey Luthor's every command. However, the duplication process failed, and resulted in the creation of an imperfect duplicate of Superman. This artificial being, later began to refer to itself as Bizarro. Luthor is forgotten as Bizarro attempts to emulate Superman, creating havoc in the city of Metropolis and almost exposing Superman's secret identity as Clark Kent. When Bizarro falls in love with reporter Lois Lane, she uses the duplicating ray on herself to create a "Bizarro Lois", who is instantly attracted to Bizarro. The Bizarros leave Earth together, determined to find a home where they can be themselves.

Superman encounters the couple once again, discovering that Bizarro - now called Bizarro #1; has used a version of the duplication ray to create an entire world of Bizarros, who now reside on a square-shaped planet called "Htrae" (Earth spelled backwards).

Notes

• Bizarro first appeared in Action Comics, Vol. 1 #254 (July, 1959).
• Bizarro #1 and Bizarro from Season 3, The Challenge of the SuperFriends look nothing alike.
• It is confirmed in the 1983 short; Video Victims that they are in fact the same person.

Trivia

• Although Bizarro No. 1 is the most famous of all related characters, he is not in fact the first Bizarro. In October of 1968, writer Otto Binder introduced a Bizarro character who functioned as an imperfect duplicate of the Earth-One Superboy. This bizarro was the product of a scientist named Professor Dalton and was destroyed after making only one appearance.

Appearances in Other Media

Bizarro Bizarro was Superman's deficient clone. He was a tragic figure and more misguided and manipulated rather than intentionally evil. He was the prototype of an army of 'Supermen' manufactured by Lex Luthor. - Go to DCAU for more on the Bizarro

Bizarro Bizarro Clark or Bizarro was the last and possibly most dangerous Zoner released from the Phantom Zone in 2006. He was accidentally created in a laboratory on the planet Krypton, and was sent into the Phantom Zone by Jor-El and J'onn J'onzz, but he escaped in 2006 when Clark Kent opened a portal to Earth so he could escape from the Zone. Bizarro followed him through and spent the next several weeks seeking a host who could sustain him. He eventually confronted Clark and stole a piece of DNA from him, allowing him to create an imperfect clone of the Kryptonian which would act as a permanent host body for Bizarro to inhabit. This version of Bizarro is based on the Smallville TV series (2001-??) as seen on the CW. - Go to the Smallville Wiki for more on the Bizarro
