How SUPERMAN Sets Up One Character to Become the DCU’s Bizarro

The article breaks down a major development from DC Comics' recent issue, Superman #9. In this issue, Lex Luthor creates a powerful and dangerous new villain by combining two of Superman's classic foes: Bizarro and Ultraman.

Here are the key points:

• The Creator: Lex Luthor is the architect of this new being. The experiment takes place in his secret, high-security lab while the main "House of Brainiac" storyline unfolds.
• The Experiment: Luthor's goal was to create a "perfectly imperfect" Bizarro that he could control. To do this, he used the DNA from Bizarro's corpse and applied it to a living subject: Ultraman (the evil Superman from Earth-3), whom he had held captive.
• The Result: The experiment succeeds, creating a new, monstrous character that is essentially a Bizarro version of Ultraman. The issue ends with the birth of this new, powerful being.
• The Significance: This act of hubris by Luthor, done behind Superman's back, has likely unleashed a new major threat. This "Bizarro Ultraman" combines the raw power and malice of Ultraman with the twisted, unpredictable nature of Bizarro, setting the stage for a dangerous new conflict for the Man of Steel.
