One major correction. The Bizarros were created by Bizarro Superman, who in turn was created by Lex Luthor, who used an imperfect duplicating ray on Superman. Bizarro Superman used the ray to duplicate Earth, and then populated Bizarro-world with Bizarro duplicates of everyone on Earth: Bizarro-Perry White, Bizarro-Lois Lane, Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen, etc. Doug Burton inuxc!burton

Types of Kryptonite: Green - Weakens and eventually kills Red - Weird, unpredictable, temporary effect. Each piece only works once. Ex: Turned to a metallic giant Turned to a sea serpent Turned partly invisible Temporary blackouts (from artificial red K) Gold - Permanently removes super powers White - Withers any plant life Blue - Affects only the Bizzarro supermen (as green K) Superman's Girl Friends: Lois Lane Lana Lang Lesla-Lar Lori Lemaris Mon-el: Real Name: Lar Gand Home Planet: Daxam Origin: A space traveler who landed on Krypton, which resembled Daxam. Warned by Jor-el, Superboy's father, that Krypton would soon explode, he headed for earth, guided by a map Jor-el gave him. He drifted through space for years, in suspended animation, finally reaching earth. He had amnesia and Jor-el's map convinced Superboy this was his big brother. Since they met on Monday, Superboy called him Mon-el. Later, exposure to lead, his one weakness, endangered his life, but restored his memory. Superboy put him in the Phantom Zone till a cure could be found. 1,000 years later, Brainiac 5 discovered a cure and freed Mon-el, who joined the Legion of Superheros. Original 3 members of the Legion of Superheroes: Saturn Girl Lightning Lad Cosmic Boy Origin of the Bizarros Somebody (General Zod?) got hold of an imperfect duplicating ray, and duplicated Krypton to form the cube world of Bizarro.
