Composite Superman (Earth-12)

Composite Superman of Earth-12.[1]

On this Earth, the Composite Superman was a bio-combination of Superman and Batman. This version of the character was created when Mister Mxyzptlk used giant hands to clap with the two superheroes between his hands, causing them to fuse into one being. This proved to be fatal however.

This universe was subsequently destroyed by Mr. Mxyzptlk during his conflict with Bat-Mite. In a new timeline, this universe was re-created by the two imps that were fighting each other, and as such, this reality was restored, and the previous timeline in which it was destroyed was completely forgotten except to the two extra-dimensional imps.[2]
