Superman and Bizarro Face Off in a NewAction ComicsStory
Bizarro is one of the strangest opposition that Superman has , and DC has really struggled to pin down a classical version of the villain . Bizarro has been a Frankenstein - like copy of Superman have a bun in the oven from a dysfunctional ray gun ; he ’s been create by Emperor Joker ; he ’s been from another macrocosm ; and he ’s been a clone of Superman create by Lex Luthor .

Superman stands for Bob Hope and the true ; while Bizarro has committed crimes and been a strong-arm problem , it ’s usually due to incompetence or mistaking , not nefarious maliciousness . While the " evil Superman " figure is certainly act as out , it ’s genuinely bizarre that the one place it has n’t been played out is with the actual inverse Superman character DC has had for decades .

While it ’s unclear exactly what this means , see thatBizarroisSuperman’sopposite , things could get very dark very fast .
