Bizarro-Luthor

An imperfect duplicate of Lex Luthor. When Bizarro created duplicates of himself to populate Htrae, he unwittingly gave them all costumes with a perfect 'S' symbol, like that of Superman. In doing so, he violated the Bizarro Code and was exiled to a round planet surrounded by a Blue Kryptonite shield, along with the rest of his family.

In order to escape from the hideous round planet, Bizarro cloned Lex Luthor (someone very adept at escaping from prisons) to aid him. The disgustingly good Bizarro-Luthor agreed to help if Bizarro first performed several good deeds on Earth. After Bizarro No. 1 completed the daunting task of bettering humanity, Bizarro-Luthor corrected his mistake by designing costumes with a backwards 'S' symbol, which were then distributed to all Bizarros. Bizarro No. 1 thus corrected his violation of the Bizarro Code, thanks to the good deeds of Bizarro-Luthor.
