About Bizarro[]
Bizarro was originally created by Lex Luthor as a contingency plan to use against Superman should the need arise. When the need came, when Superman founded the One Earth Regime, Lex Luthor planned to release Bizarro to put his plan into effect. Before he could do so however, Lex had found that Bizarro had escaped containment. With no memory of his origin save for where he was made, Bizarro flew to Germany where he met a tailor who mistakenly believed him to be Superman. The tailor sewed a new costume for “Superman”, which Bizarro put on inside out, believing the “S” emblem to be backwards in the mirror. With no understanding of human customs, Bizarro attempted to understand who he was. Eventually, he was accosted by the Rogues. During the ensuing fight, Bizarro had killed Heat Wave and Weather Wizard. At this, the remaining Rogues involved in the fight, Golden Glider and Mirror Master escaped. After this, he befriended the Trickster, who taught him what it truly meant to be a hero. Later, Bizarro accidentally killed Trickster when the former dropped him while flying to cover his mouth when he sneezed. As a result, Bizarro went mad trying to find anyone who could “fix” Trickster. Eventually, Bizarro was killed by a mind controlled Doomsday, under the orders of Lex Luthor, who had been trying to whitewash all evidence of his involvement with Bizarro’s creation.
Biography[]
Bizarro is the perfect imperfect duplicate of Superman, acting as his antagonist (or ally, depending on the situation). Originally created to be Superman's clone by Lex Luthor by using blue kryptonite, his poorly constructed genetics caused him to become the complete opposite. As such, he occasionally speaks in opposites himself.
Injustice Comic[]
Year Four[]
Bizarro was created by Lex Luthor, cloned from Superman's DNA as a contingency plan to stop Superman. Before Lex could plan on how to release the clone, he returned to his lab to find that the clone escaped from the lab.
Year Five[]
Having escaped from Lex's lab, Bizarro lands in Ingolstadt, Germany where he meets an old man who mistakes him for the real Superman. The old man tailors Bizarro a Superman uniform, but Bizarro rips the embalm off, believing it is backwards and has the man reattach it backwards. Bizarro then notices a news report of the Rouges attacking the Regime and arrives to stop them. Bizarro would kill all of the Rogues except for Trickster, Trickster would then attempt to befriend Bizarro and the two would bond. Until Bizarro accidentally kills Trickster and goes to Lex Luthor for help, remembering Luthor creating him. Luthor attempts to "help" Bizarro by sending him to the Fortress of Solitude in an attempt to keep his involvement with Bizarro a secret. Bizarro is then attacked by Doomsday, who is being mind-controlled by Lex. Bizarro begins to beat Doomsday, so Superman arrives and fights Bizarro. Lex changes Doomsday's programing to kill Superman, as Superman is then beaten repeatedly by the two. Lex reconsiders, as he can't bring himself to kill Superman and changes Doomsday's targeting program back to Bizarro. Doomsday holds Bizarro in a choke-hold and breaks his neck. Disappointed with the lack of answers, Superman discards Bizarro's body in front of Lex and asks him to run every tests in order to figure out the clone's origin.
Powers and Abilities[]
Though a flawed clone of Superman, Bizarro still possesses all the innate abilities of an adult Kryptonian under the yellow sun Sol. Bizarro's superhuman strength, speed, and stamina are all equal to Superman, and he also has the power of flight, complete invulnerability, and wide range of extrasensory powers such as superhearing and ice vision. Bizarro is strong enough to fight Superman, Solomon Grundy, and Yellow Lantern at the same time and emerge the winner, and survive several rounds with Doomsday.
Bizarro shares most of Superman's abilities, albeit reversed, such as freeze vision instead of heat vision, flame breath instead of freeze breath, or vacuum breath instead of super-breath.
Appearance[]
Bizzaro is a flawed clone of Superman and appears almost physically identical to Kal-El, save for his chalky white skin and wild spiked hair. Bizzaro's costume is a replica of Superman's original costume, except with the S-Shield in reverse and the suit itself being worn out, with stitches and torn sleeves.
