Bizarro III (New Earth)

Bizarro has white skin, unkempt hair, poor hygiene and disproportionate physical features. Linguistically, Bizarro speaks in complete opposition to his thoughts, or for that matter, any commonly accepted sense of logic. His pattern is consistant however, in that everything he says is actually the negated form of his intended thought. When greeting someone, Bizarro will say "Good-bye" rather than "Hello". When complimenting someone, he will usually say something insulting like "Batzarro am world's worst detective", etc. In recent times, Bizarro seems to have forsaken his negated speaking abnormalities, though he still appears to be of sub-standard intellect. This is due to the manipulations of criminal mastermind Lex Luthor.

History

This creature is actually the third being to assume the name of Bizarro. The first was a failed clone of Superman developed by Lex Luthor and a scientist named Doctor Teng. The second Bizarro was another failed clone developed during a time when Luthor was himself dying from a genetically engineered clone plague. This Bizarro however, has nothing at all to do with Lex Luthor.

A few years ago, the Joker managed to acquire for himself the 5th dimensional powers of Mister Mxyzptlk. With this power, he declared himself Emperor and created his own insane version of Superman. Bizarro was intended to imitate the role of Superman, but with the Joker's best interests at heart.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Superhuman strength: The exact range of Bizarro's strength has never been measured, but it widely accepted that he is strong as, if not stronger than Superman. Thus Bizarro's approximate strength level is such that he can easily lift in excess of 100,000 tons.

Invulnerability: A living juggernaut, Bizarro is impervious to most forms of physical force. He can even survive in the vacuum of outer space without restriction or undue discomfort. Sufficient enough force however, could eventually wear Bizarro down. To date, nothing has been shown which can cause Bizarro permanent injury.

Self-sustenance: Whereas Superman relies upon solar radiation in order to tap into his super-powers, Bizarro requires no such external assistance. He does not need to eat or drink, and can function for an indeterminate amount of time without the need of rest.

Flight: Bizarro can fly under his own willpower without the aid of external assistance. The exact nature of this ability is unknown. Bizarro's top speed while flying is on pars with Superman's.

Arctic vision: Bizarro can produce beams of concentrated cold from his eyes. The beams maintain subzero degrees of temperature enabling Bizarro to freeze solid objects within his scope of vision. The range of this ability is unknown. This power serves as an analog to Superman's heat-vision.

Flame-breath: Bizarro can produce super-heated plasma from his mouth, which he uses to ignite combustible materials within a specified radius. The range of this ability is unknown. This power serves as an analog to Superman’s Arctic Breath.

Bio-Fission: While operating within an environment under a blue sun, Bizarro gains the ability to replicate new lifeforms from his own body mass. Using this power, Bizarro populated a cube-shaped planetoid that has become colloquially known as "Bizarro World".

Known Abilities: Through no fault of his own, Bizarro manages to confuse and confound opponents due to his backwards mental processes and lack of basic common sense. Even when an adversary believes that they have figured out how Bizarro thinks, the creature will often find a means of proving them wrong. In most instances, Bizarro's foes give him more intellectual credit than he likely deserves.

Abilities

None known.

Strength level

Superhuman; able to easily lift in excess of 100,000 tons.(See above)

Weaknesses

Blue Kryptonite has proven to be fatal to Bizarro. Exposure to blue Kryptonite radiation drains away Bizarro's strength, and prolonged exposure will ultimately kill him.

Paraphernalia

Equipment: Bizarro wears a chain around his neck with a medallion that reads, "Bizarro No. 1". Ironically, this version of the Bizarro is the third being to assume such a name since Crisis on Infinite Earths. In Bizarro-logic however, declaring himself No. 1 makes perfect sense.
Transportation: Self-powered flight
Weapons: None known.

Notes

Appearances in Other Media

Bizarro from Justice League Unlimited

This version of Bizarro made his small-screen debut in the 1996 television series, Superman: The Animated Series. Voiced by Superman actor Tim Daly, he first appeared in the Season Two episode "Identity Crisis" (not to be confused with the DC Comics Identity Crisis storyline). Bizarro later re-emerged as a member of Lex Luthor's Injustice Gang in the Justice League animated series. Like many of his contemporaries, Bizarro made follow-up appearances when the program changed its name and format to Justice League Unlimited. After several adventures, Luthor ultimately performed brain surgery on Bizarro, making him subservient to Lex Luthor's influence. This permutation is similar to events which transpired in 2007 in Action Comics #845.

Bizarro appeared in Superman 64 and Superman: Man of Steel as a supervillain.

Bizarro also appears as a villain and playable character in the Superman Returns video game. Bizarro is only playable for a short period of time and during that time you have to cause as much damage that's indicated on the screen. A cheat code exists for the Superman Returns Two-Disc DVD which allows you to play as him for an unlimited period of time.
