Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and bring out your fatwagon. LET'S GO!
THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW – 4:00PM (Syndicated) For 25 years, Oprah Winfrey has been inspiring millions of gullible Americans by way of talking about herself constantly. It's a neat little trick, one anyone else out there will be hard-pressed to duplicate. So savor the flavor today as Oprah finishes off her dominant run in daytime with a final episode that will likely feature some surprise guests and old friends. But in the end, it will be about Oprah and Oprah alone. That's Oprah's deal. She's amazingly successful, and she has all kinds of famous friends, and you're supposed to sit there and celebrate that fact. Why? Hey, don't ruin the illusion for everyone with your questions, bucko! ANTICIPATION: NO MO OPRAH!
AMERICAN IDOL – 8:00PM (FOX) Tonight it comes down to Scotty (Too Hottie!) McCreery vs. Lauren Alaina to decide who gets a record deal and then is forgotten about four weeks later. Both singers are under 18 and both work primarily in the country music genre. So when CMT hosts seventeen award shows in consecutive weeks later this winter, you know where you'll be able to find these two. And let's pause a moment to give props to J-Lo and S-Ty (I came up with that just now!) for keeping Idol atop the ratings when most everyone thought they would fail. Pretty impressive, until Simon and Paula return in the fall and the show gets wiped off the map. ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
MODERN FAMILY – 9:00PM (ABC) Ugh, the season finale. Nooooooooo!!!! I need 52 new episodes of this show a year. ANTICIPATION: BITTERSWEET!
MAN VS. FOOD NATION – 9:00PM (Travel Channel) Travel Channel has given "Man vs. Food" its very own spinoff. And here I thought the only thing this show would spin off would be diabetes and coronary heart failure. ANTICIPATION: GORGING!
SOUTH PARK – 10:00PM (Comedy Central) Cartman works with crack babies. Everything about that premise just boils over with promise. ANTICIPATION: CRACKY!

Has anyone had this dilemma? I had the consultation with my surgeon during which she told me I needed to lose about 25 lbs before surgery.

Reverse Versions of Kryptonian Powers:
Bizarro is a super villain who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Otto Binder and artist George Papp as a "mirror image" of Superman and first appeared in Superboy #68 (1958). Since then, various iterations of Bizarro have appeared in which he frequently has been portrayed as an antagonist to Superman.
Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books (1956 - c. 1970), the character has appeared in both comic books and graphic novels, and other DC Comics-related products such as animated and live-action television series, trading cards, toys, and video games.
Bizarro was Ranked #25 on IGN's List of 100 Top Comic Book Villains, and the term itself has entered the lexicon beyond pop culture.[1]
Publication history[edit]
Bizarro debuted in Superboy #68 (cover-dated Oct. 1958, but on sale in August[2]), writer Otto Binder casting the character as a Frankenstein's monster pastiche that possessed all the powers of Superboy. Shunned for his grotesque appearance, the teen version of Bizarro only appeared in a single comic book story. An adult version appeared around the same time in the Superman daily newspaper comic strip written by Alvin Schwartz, debuting in Episode 105: "The Battle With Bizarro" (strips 6147-6242: Aug. 25, 1958 to Dec. 13, 1958). According to comics historian Mark Evanier, Schwartz long claimed that he originated the Bizarro concept prior to the character's appearance in Superboy.[3] The newspaper storyline introduced the strange speech patterns that became synonymous with the character, with all of Bizarro's comments meaning the opposite (e.g. "bad" means "good"). The newspaper version wore a "B" on his chest, as opposed to his distinctive "S".[4]
Schwartz stated:
|I was striving, you might say, for that mirror-image, that opposite. And out of a machine which would reveal the negative Superman, came the mirror image — always remembering that in a mirror everything is reversed... The times were such that one-dimensional characters, your standard superheroes, even in comics, seemed rather simplistic, like paper cut-outs. What was demanded was the full dimensional personality — a figure that carried a shadow, if you like. I was certainly inspired to some degree also by C.G. Jung's archetype of "the shadow" — and Bizarro certainly reflected that, as well.[5]
Binder introduced the adult version of the character into the Superman comic book, this time wearing an "S," in Action Comics #254 (July 1959). Bizarro proved popular, and eventually starred in a Bizarro World feature in Adventure Comics for fifteen issues, running from issue #285-299 (June 1961-Aug. 1962),[6] as well as in a special all-Bizarro 80-Page Giant (Superman #202, Dec. 1967/Jan. 1968). The character made forty appearances[7] in the Superman family of titles — Action Comics, Superman, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, Adventure Comics, Secret Society of Super Villains, and DC Comics Presents — from 1959 to 1984, prior to a reboot of the DC Universe as a result of the limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 - 12 (April 1985 - March 1986).
Bizarro was reintroduced into the DC Universe in a one-off appearance with characterization similar to his original Superboy appearance in The Man of Steel #5 (Dec. 1986). He was later revived in the "Bizarro's World" serial that ran through the Superman titles in March and April 1994, and in Action Comics Annual #8 in 1996. An unrelated four-issue limited series titled A. Bizarro (July - Oct.) was published in 1999.
Yet another version was introduced during the "Emperor Joker" storyline in September - October 2000. Remaining in DC Comics continuity, this Bizarro continued to make semi-regular guest appearances that firmly established the character as part of the Superman mythos.
Pre-Crisis Bizarro[edit]
General Dru-Zod had originally created bizarro duplicates of himself to dominate the planet, Krypton. The bizarros had no power because they were not under a yellow sun, but they were soldiers ready to kill and die without hesitation. This was the reason why Zod was banished to the Phantom Zone for 25 Krypton sun-cycles.[8]
Some 12 years later, totally oblivious to these facts, a scientist on the Earth is demonstrating his newly invented "duplicating ray" to Superboy, and an accident causes the ray to duplicate the superhero. The copy, quickly labeled "Bizarro", is a flawed imitation as it possesses chalky white skin and childlike erratic behavior. Shunned by the people of Smallville, Bizarro befriends a blind girl, and loses all hope when he realizes that the girl didn't shun or flee from him, because she was blind. Superboy is eventually forced to "kill" the "less than perfect" clone, using the remains of the duplicating machine, which acts like blue kryptonite (as opposed to green kryptonite, Superboy's weakness) on the copy.[9] The whole business proved unexpectedly easy as Bizarro deliberately destroyed himself by colliding with the duplicating machine's fragment. The ensuing explosion miraculously restores the girl's eyesight.
Years after this adventure, Superman's arch-foe Lex Luthor recreates the "duplicating ray" and uses it on the hero, hoping to control the duplicate. The Bizarro that is created, however, is confused, stating: "Me not human... me not creature... me not even animal! Me unhappy! Me don't belong in world of living people! Me don't know difference between right and wrong — good and evil!"[5] Luthor is arrested by Bizarro for re-creating him, but forgotten as Bizarro attempts to emulate Superman, creating havoc in the city of Metropolis and almost exposing Superman's secret identity as Clark Kent. When Bizarro falls in love with reporter Lois Lane, she uses the duplicating ray on herself to create a "Bizarro Lois", who is instantly attracted to Bizarro. The Bizarros leave Earth together, determined to find a home where they can be themselves.[10]
Superman encounters the couple once again, discovering that Bizarro — now called Bizarro #1 — has used a version of the duplication ray to create an entire world of Bizarros, who now reside on a cube-shaped planet called "Htrae" (Earth spelled backwards).[11] Bizarro #1 and Bizarro-Lois #1 also give birth to a child who while super-powered, appears to be totally human. Considered a freak by Bizarro standards (out of resentment for the way he was treated by earth humans, Bizarro #1 made a law that they must act the opposite of humans,causing no end of lunacy), the child is the catalyst for a brief war between Htrae and Earth.[12] Blue Kryptonite is also invented during this war, as well as the -temporary- existence of Bizarro-Supergirl. Bizarro also has a series of adventures on Htrae, aiding a normal Jimmy Olsen when he is accidentally trapped on the Bizarro world,[13] preventing an invasion of blue kryptonite statues,[14] and stopping the Bizarro version of Titano.[15]
Bizarro's influence is also felt on Earth: Jimmy Olsen is inadvertently turned into a Bizarro for a time,[16] and a new teen version of Bizarro travels to the 30th century, attempting to join the Legion of Super-Heroes. When rejected by the Legion, the Bizarro teen creates his own Bizarro version of the Legion, which Superboy eventually persuades him to disband.[17]
When Bizarro encounters Superman once again, his powers had altered so that they were the opposite of Superman's (such as possessing freeze vision as opposed to heat vision and heat breath as opposed to freeze breath), and he unsuccessfully attempts to kidnap Lois Lane.[18] Bizarro also temporarily joins the Secret Society of Super Villains to battle the Justice League of America and Captain Comet.[19][20]
Bizarro appears in the Alan Moore-scripted "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", in Superman #423 (September 1986). Bizarro goes berserk and destroys the Bizarro World and its inhabitants, then travels to Metropolis and wreaks havoc before abruptly committing suicide. This and many other deaths turn out to be the machinations of Mr. Mxylptlk who had begun a rampage of crime. Superman is unable to undo the deaths, but kills Mr. Mxylptlk and then uses gold kryptonite on himself.
Bizarro's final pre-Crisis appearance was in DC Comics Presents #97 (September 1986), which was also the final issue of that series. After being empowered by a hideously disfigured Phantom Zone sorcerer, Mr. Mzylptlk destroys Zrfff and then causes the Bizarro world to implode, killing all its inhabitants. Bizarro's severed head crashes onto Clark Kent's desk and addresses Clark Kent before his simulated life ends. Bizarro does not appear in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently because of this story's events.
This story directly contradicts a World's Finest story where it is revealed that sometime in the future, Htrae is transformed into a more normal world (egg-shaped rather than cubical) by the radiation from an exploding celestial body. The Bizarroes are changed into normal non-powered people as well, but still retaining vestiges of their Bizarro laws (curtains hung outside the windows of a house, etc.)[21]
After the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Lex Luthor orders his scientific team to create a clone of Superman. However, wrongfully starting from the assumption that Superman is a human with metahuman abilities (his alien origin had not yet been discovered by Luthor, let alone publicly revealed), the process results in a flawed copy, which Luthor dismissively refers to as "...this bizarre -- Oh, forget it", before ordering for the subject to be disposed of. The monstrous clone survives and, although mute and possessed of only limited intelligence and vague memories of Clark Kent's life, attempts to mimic Superman; including carrying a broken down ambulance to the hospital. He kidnaps Lois Lane and is finally destroyed when colliding with Superman in mid-air.[22] Each time he exerted himself, the clone crumbled slightly. When Lois Lane's sister was exposed to Bizarro's dust, she recovers her sense of vision. Lois Lane's sister was previously blinded by a terrorist acid attack. The cure was completed when she was hit by a shower of the dust when Superman smashed the clone. While Superman had not expected this effect, he speculated that Bizarro heard the sister explain her partial recovery. Thereafter Bizarro may have deliberately allowed himself be killed in order to cure her.
A 2nd Bizarro, able to speak and think better due to genetic engineering by Luthor prior to using the clone process, appeared in a 5-issue substory in the clone plague story-arc titled "Bizarro's World" (beginning in Superman #87). Before he died, this Bizarro seriously injured Happersen, kidnapped Lois, created a ramshackle dummy version of Metropolis in a warehouse (to parody Superman's frequently rescuing Lois, he deliberately exposed her to and "rescued" her from one lethal danger after another), abducted Lana Lang, proposed to Lois (presenting her with a ring, actually a stolen table display) and finally died in Luthor's labs.[23] During this period, Superman also had to cope with an unending increase in his powers due to exposure to "purple kryptonite" in the climax of the Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen story-arcs.[24]
There was one other Bizarro created by Lex Luthor's clone process, by Lex Luthor's estranged wife and Dabney Donovan shortly after Superman regained his normal powers when he expended his electromagnetic ones. This Bizarro abducted Lex Luthor's baby daughter and intended to send her by rocket to another planet, emulating Kal-El's escape from Krypton. His pile of explosives and bombs, meant to launch the rocket, would have killed her instead, and Superman had to shield her when Bizarro threw the launch switch. Bizarro 2, already self-destructing from a genetic booby trap encoded into him by his creator, perished in the explosion.[25]
Another version of Bizarro possesses all the abilities of Superman but with a childlike mentality and method of speech. He is created by Batman's arch-enemy the Joker when the villain steals the powers of the fifth-dimensional imp Mr. Mxyzptlk. Creating a twisted version of Earth called "Jokerworld" — a perfect cube with Joker's image on each facet — the villain designates Bizarro to be the planet's greatest hero and leader of a reimagined "JLA" (the "Joker's League of Anarchy"). When Mxyzptlk regains his powers, the imp allows Bizarro and several other beings to remain on the restored Earth.[26][27][28][29][30]
Bizarro suffers a setback when captured by the Pokolistanian dictator General Zod. Zod beats and tortures Bizarro, apparently simply because the creature resembles Superman. The hero rescues Bizarro, and to help him adjust to the normal Earth rebuilds Bizarro's "Graveyard of Solitude" (the opposite of Superman's Fortress of Solitude).[31] During the Infinite Crisis, Bizarro is tricked into joining the reformed Secret Society of Super Villains by Flash's foe Zoom, and during a battle with superteam the Freedom Fighters accidentally kills the Human Bomb, constantly hitting the hero to observe the flashes of light that are produced from the kinetic energy of the blows.[32]
Bizarro becomes involved when Kryptonian criminals led by General Zod escape to Earth,[33] but wishing to create a home for himself, Bizarro travels into deep space to a solar system occupied by a blue sun. After creating a cube shaped planet, filled with abstract versions of various buildings and locations on Earth, Bizarro is still lonely. The blue sun, however, gives Bizarro a new ability called "Bizarro Vision", which allows him to create new Bizarros. When this fails, Bizarro kidnaps Jonathan Kent, Superman's adopted father on Earth. Superman rescues his father and helps Bizarro become his world's greatest hero.[34]
Bizarro eventually appears on the planet Throneworld, befriending and aiding Earth hero Adam Strange and allies Prince Gavyn, Captain Comet, and the Weird. Together they participate in the war between alien worlds Rann and Thanagar,[35] and against villains Lady Styx and Synnar.[36] Bizarro eventually visits the grave of a deceased Jonathan Kent, and is then sent (by rogue Kryptonians) with other Superman foes to the inter-dimensional prison, the Phantom Zone.[37]
Bizarro has a series of encounters with former Secret Society ally Solomon Grundy,[38] and during the events of Blackest Night, Bizarro confronts the Black Lantern version of Grundy. Bizarro eventually destroys Grundy by driving him into the heart of the Sun.[39]
Later, while investigating an object that crashes into a Metropolis park and leaves a massive crystallized crater in its center, Dr. Light and Gangbuster discover a Bizarro-like creature that resembles Supergirl.[40] The Bizarro Supergirl takes the heroes hostage, but is ultimately defeated in battle by the real Supergirl.[41] It is revealed that the Bizarro Supergirl is a refugee from the cube-shaped Bizarro World, and was sent to Earth by her cousin after their planet was attacked by a being known as the Godship. Dr. Light attempts to take the Bizarro Supergirl to S.T.A.R. Labs, only to be violently knocked unconscious by Supergirl, who then absconds with her doppelganger and her ship, hoping to stop the Godship and save Bizarro World.[42] After taking Bizarro Supergirl back to Bizarro World, Bizarro Superman is reunited with Bizarro Supergirl.[43]
The New 52[edit]
In the new continuity, Bizarro first appears in the Forever Evil event. Five years ago, Lex Luthor, intending to create his personal army of Supermen, attempted to splice Superman's DNA with human DNA and injected it into a teenage test subject. Instead, he transforms into a hulking white-skinned monster with cryonic vision, incendiary breath, and immunity to Kryptonite — deducing his weakness, Luthor hits him with concentrated solar radiation that oversaturates his cells and kills him. Luthor then takes samples of the creature to continue his experiment, deciding to clone a purely Kryptonian body. Five years later, a capsule labeled B-0 is shown.[44]
After the Crime Syndicate takes over the world, Luthor releases Subject B-0, though his transformation is only halfway through. When he kills a security guard named Otis on Luthor's orders, Luthor is pleased and decides to use the imperfect clone in his plan to take the Syndicate down.[45] Later, when Luthor and his team of villains pass through a tunnel, B-0 is revealed to be afraid of darkness. Luthor tries to comfort him with a story about his own fears, but ultimately wonders whether the clone was a waste of time; B-0 then speaks his first words, "Bizarro... try", much to Luthor's surprise.[46] Though initially doubtful, Luthor grows truly fond of "Bizarro", who proves to be a powerful asset throughout the event.
During the final confrontation against the Earth-3 invaders, Bizarro battles Mazahs, the alternate version of Luthor himself; although he initially has the upper hand, Bizarro is fatally wounded and left to die. Luthor desperately tries to fix him, to no avail, and they share a sorrowful goodbye. After the battle is over, Luthor restarts the cloning process; when one of his scientists states it should take about ten years to fully develop a perfect Kryptonian clone, Luthor corrects him by saying it will take only five years, revealing he truly intends to create a perfect copy of Bizarro.[47]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Bizarro is depicted as having all the abilities of Superman, although in some incarnations several of these traits have been reversed, such as
- "freeze vision" instead of heat vision
- "flame breath" instead of freeze breath
- "vacuum breath" instead of super breath
- "Bizarro telescopic vision" which allows Bizarro to see a "short distance behind his head" rather than a "long distance in front of his head"
- "Bizarro microscopic vision" which makes objects "actually smaller to everyone" rather than merely "appear to be bigger to only the user"
- "Bizarro X-ray vision" which allows Bizarro to "only see through lead" rather than the ability to "see through anything except lead"
- "Telescopic X-ray vision" which caused Bizarro to shoot x-rays from his eyes from "fifty miles around".[48]
This also applies to weaknesses, as Bizarro is vulnerable to blue kryptonite, as opposed to green kryptonite, which is lethal to Superman. Bizarro is actually strengthened by green kryptonite as opposed to blue kryptonite.
Other versions[edit]
- The limited series All-Star Superman (Jan. 2006 - Oct. 2008) features Bizarro clones from an alternative universe called the "Underverse". They can "infect" a normal human and change them into a Bizarro clone by touch.[49] One of these creatures is called "Zibarro" and is unique in that he has the mental capacity of a normal human.[50]
- Bizarro appears in an issue of the tie-in comic for the late-1980s Superboy TV show, in which he is duped into acting as a student's art project.[51] He also was featured in an issue of the Superman Adventures comic series that tied into Superman: The Animated Series in which he is brought to Earth by Lobo.[52]
- A Bizarro fantasy akin to the pre-Crisis version appears in the 1998 Adventure Comics 80-Page Giant by writer Tom Peyer and artist Kevin O'Neill. There, Bizarro demands that a technician at a SETI-like installation broadcast his diary. Having no choice, the technician looks over the diary, which tells the story of the classic cube-shaped backwards Bizarro World. Superman accidentally finds himself there and, to allay people's fears of him, goes on a "constructive rampage." The original Bizarro, aka Bizarro #1, goes to Earth and attempts to stop Superman with the help of his friends. However, when the other Bizarros try to kill Superman, #1 stops them, saying that killing is the earthly thing that they must, above all, do the opposite of. Realizing that, however strange Bizarro World might be, its inhabitants are safer and happier than those of Earth thanks to Bizarro #1's leadership, Superman apologizes. To show his sincerity he hides a copy of the Bizarro Code where nobody will ever see it. The people hold a parade in #1's honor and with his loving wife Bizarro Lois #1 and their son, Bizarro Junior #1 at his side, Bizarro cries saying "Me am ... happiest creature in universe." When the technician finishes reading the story, he sees Bizarro is gone and, horrified, asks - what if the journal itself is no exception to the Bizarro Code? Elsewhere, the truth is revealed; Bizarro, who has no home and has no family and is held in contempt by Superman, weeps because he is the most miserable thing in the universe.
- In the 2004 graphic novel mini-series Trinity by Matt Wagner, Bizarro is a genetic clone of Superman that is the result of Luthorcorp's "Project Replica". The creature was then sealed away in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, encased within ice, until it was released by Ra's Al Ghul, who used him as a pawn in his plan to use nuclear warheads to decimate Gotham as well as destroy a cluster of communication satellites, causing a major communications blackout, the end goal of his mission being to incite chaos and purge the Earth of the "cancer" that is civilization. Bizarro loses his hand and is thrown into a volcano and is presumably deceased, however, his hand is turned into red kryptonite at the bottom of the ocean.[53]
- A story in the out-of-continuity digital-first anthology comic book Adventures of Superman from 2013 by Christos Gage and Eduardo Francisco reveals that Bizarro's penchant for opposites comes as a result of his imperfectly formed brain, a discovery which allows Superman and Professor Hamilton to make him talk and think like a regular person and pursue his desire to be heroic.[54]
- Several alternative universe versions of the character exist: the Silver Age Bizarro appears in Justice as a member of the Legion of Doom;[55] a Legends of the Dead Earth story set in the far future features a former media-star Bizarro who owns an amusement park and who fights against his own obsolescence;[56] the one-shot The Superman Monster (1999), essentially a Frankenstein pastiche, features a monstrous copy of Bizarro created by a Viktor Luthor;[57] Superman: Red Son (2004) features a "Superman 2" created by genius Lex Luthor for the United States to stop the Soviet-based Superman;[48] and Lex Luthor creates Bizarro-like duplicates called "Liberators" in the limited series JLA: The Nail (1998).[58]
- The 2002 graphic novel Bizarro Comics is an anthology of short comics by artists of the independent scene handling various DC Comics characters in humorous tales set outside of any continuity. All the stories are bookended by Bizarro Wars, a comic written by Chris Duffy with art by Stephen DeStefano in which Mxyzptlk seeks the aid of Superman to save the fifth dimension from a cosmic conqueror named "A", but ends up with Bizarro (here introduced as a new character that neither Superman nor Mxyzptlk formerly knew of) instead. The other comics in the volume (including one short Bizarro World story written by Bizarro creator Alvin Schwartz) are presented as creations of the deranged mind of Bizarro himself.[59] The 2005 follow-up anthology Bizarro World features the character less centrally, but includes an introductory story in which the character runs an amusement park.[60]
In other media[edit]
- Bizarro appears in the Challenge of the Super Friends, voiced by William Callaway. He is seen as a member of the Legion of Doom as an unambiguous villain. In one story he shows knowledge of how to construct a Growth Ray that makes someone 100 feet tall.
- Bizarro appears in the 1980s revival of Super Friends. In "The Revenge of Doom", Bizarro is seen with the Legion of Doom when they get back together. In two other episodes, "The Revenge of Bizarro" and "Bizarowurld" from 1981, Bizarro is a lone villain.
- Bizarro appears in the The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episode "The Bizarro Super Powers Team" voiced by Danny Dark. This version is a more faithful adaptation of heis persona from the comics as a well-meaning bumbler.
- Bizarro appears in several episodes of the Superboy TV series from 1989-1992, played by Barry Meyers, and is the traditional version of the character, complete with angular white features.
- A clone of Superman analogous to Bizarro appears in the Lois & Clark episode "Vatman" played by Dean Cain. Created by Lex Luthor for the purpose of replacing Superman, the clone does not have Bizarro's distinctive appearance and is visually indistinguishable from Superman as well as possessing all the usual powers and weaknesses of Superman. Although he does not speak backwards, he does appear childlike and slightly simple-minded, and Lois refers to him at one point as seeming "bizarre".
- Bizarro later appears in Superman: The Animated Series, voiced by Tim Daly (who also voiced Superman). Unlike other versions, his S-shield is not reversed. His origin is the same as the Post-Crisis Bizarro from the comics, and his appearance, along with the typical traits, also bears resemblance to Frankenstein's monster. Homage is paid to his angular featured design in the first few seconds of his arrival. He is kindhearted and childlike, and although he has trouble distinguishing good, evil or harm, he wishes to protect innocents in the same way as Superman.
- Bizarro appears in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Ultimatum" voiced by George Newbern (who also voiced Superman). He is attracted to Giganta and fights Wonder Woman for her when they try to break Gorilla Grodd from prison. Later on, Bizarro starts to both speak and comprehend things backwards, a nod to the comic version. In later episodes, Bizarro appears as a member of Gorilla Grodd's Legion of Doom. Noticeably, Bizarro is seen sporting a scar across his forehead indicating Bizarro's mind was altered so that he did anything Luthor commanded as in backwards logic.
- A villain nicknamed Bizarro appears in Smallville, played by Tom Welling and introduced in the Season 6 finale, "Phantom". This version differs significantly from other renditions of the character and is presented as the result of a Kryptonian experiment (similar to Davis Bloome/Doomsday) who - upon being deemed unfit for society - was turned into a wraith and imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, remaining there until Clark accidentally released him. In his subsequent search for a Kryptonian - from whom he could siphon a portion of DNA and create a host body for himself - he took possession of several unwilling human hosts, all of whom each died within 24 hours from the time of possession. Once Bizarro finds Clark and successfully clones his body, it is revealed that his strengths and weaknesses are the opposite of Clark's, drawing power from kryptonite but being weakened by sunlight, which turns Bizarro's skin into a jagged stone-like substance. Bizarro eventually attempts to replace Clark while destroying his life, but his plans are thwarted when Clark, realising Bizarro's weakness, provokes Bizarro into confronting him while standing in a beam of sunlight, the light weakening Bizarro so that Clark can punch him into the sky, allowing the Martian Manhunter to trap him on Mars. He returns some time later in the episode "Gemini", and continues to carry on his prior plans without arousing suspicion from Clark's friends, seeking to replace the currently-absent Clark and live his life, even falling in love with Lana. Clark returns in the episode "Persona" - having been trapped by Jor-El for his recent defiance but released to deal with his duplicate - and finds that the phantom's true weakness is Blue Kryptonite; continuing Bizarro's inverted ability to process external energy, while blue kryptonite strips Clark of his superhuman strength upon contact, contact with it elevates Bizarro's powers to such an extreme degree that he explodes, compared to the results of attempting to power a lightbulb with a nuclear reactor. In the final confrontation, Lana managed to lower Bizarro's guard long enough to place the Blue Kryptonite in his hands, resulting in Bizarro being imbued with so much power that his body self-destructed.
- A version of Bizarro closer to his comic-book counterpart appears in the 2013 Cartoon network DC Nation Tales of Metropolis short "Bizarro," where he is voiced by David Kaye.[61]
- In the direct-to-video animated film All-Star Superman, a statue of Bizarro appears in Superman's Fortress of Solitude, among statues of various enemies and friends of Superman.
- A Bizarro feature film is being developed by writers Dean Parisot and Robert Gordon.[62][63]
- Bizarro appears in JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time, voiced by Michael Donovan.
Video games[edit]
- Bizarro appears in Superman.
- Bizarro appears in Superman: The Man of Steel.
- Bizarro is a villain and playable character in the Superman Returns video game voiced by John DiMaggio.

- Bizzaro appears as a support card in Injustice: Gods Among Us on ios.
- Bizzaro will appear in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.
- In an episode of Robot Chicken, Bizarro is portrayed as Paris Hilton's boyfriend using his Bizarro speech to insult Paris in what on the surface appears to be a compliment. In another episode, Superman states that Bizarro "looks like someone threw up in an ice cube tray," and makes an additional, more vulgar comparison to Kryptonite as he, Flash and Wonder Woman are comparing "reverse villains."
- In the second season episode of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, "Double Trouble", Lord Garmadon creates replicas of the original four ninja to that are referred to as "Bizarro Ninjas" in closed captioning. Bizarro Kai is not listed in the credits for this episode as his other three counterparts are, and Bizzaro Zane is spelled the original way ("Bizarro"). These ninjas have pale skin and red eyes, often wearing sunglasses to possibly hide this. Unlike Bizarro, the ninjas don't have a reversed dialect when they speak.
- A statuette of Bizarro is seen in the Seinfeld episode The Bizarro Jerry when Elaine Benes meets 4 guys whose personalities are opposites of Jerry, George, Kramer and Newman.
- Adult Swim's Sealab 2021 cartoon features a Bizarro episode during season 2 in 2005, where all the characters from the show have odd Bizarro counterparts who keep saying the word "Bizarro" every time they speak.
- Bizarro was featured in the first Superman interactive motion comic app - Superman and Bizarro Save the Planet [64]

Conflicting results have been reported concerning the association of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Schumacher et al. reported an association between AAA and PXF, with no consideration of grade. However, a later study did not confirm the association between AAA and PXF. The present study aimed at comparing the relative prevalence of PXF in patients suffering from AAA and in age-matched hypertensive patients.

MEXICO CITY • Amid the clamor framing President Barack Obama's overnight stop in Mexico's capital Thursday, smarter folk will be listening to the sounds of silence.
Because in such whistle-stop summits national leaders usually strive to accentuate the positive.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
But more than the happy chatter — about trade, economic reforms and enduring friendships — what Obama and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto don't say, at least publicly, may be more telling about their countries' close but often conflicted relationship.
Analysts say U.S. officials privately have been chewing nails over what might be Pena's dismantling of their close involvement in Mexico's six-year campaign against its crime lords.
Washington has earmarked $1.9 billion in equipment and training for Mexican security forces as part of that effort.
The drug war, which in Mexico has claimed some 70,000 lives and left another 25,000 missing, so far has failed to curtail either drugs heading to U.S. consumers or gangsters preying on Mexican communities.
Migration nations
Pena's government has a lot riding on the immigration reform debate brewing in the U.S. Congress — the most viable effort in a dozen years. It's vitally important to the estimated 6 million Mexicans living illegally north of the border and to their families at home.
But past Mexican presidents have been burned trying to actively lobby on U.S. immigration policy in the past.
Contentious immigration and drug war talk could get short shrift, in public, by the presidents and their aides.
"We've spent so much time on security issues between the United States and Mexico that sometimes I think we forget this is a massive trading partner responsible for huge amounts of commerce and huge numbers of jobs on both sides of the border," Obama said in turning to Mexico at the very end of a wide-ranging press conference Tuesday.
Mexico's economy weathered the 2008 global crisis better than many and is growing at nearly double the rate of the United States'. The two countries sell one another some $500 billion worth of products and services every year. Since taking office five months ago, Pena has pushed an array of economy-related reforms, many of benefit to U.S. interests.
"We want to see how we can deepen that, how we can improve that and maintain that economic dialogue over a long period of time," Obama said. "That doesn't mean that we're not going to be talking about security."
Costa Rica leg
Obama also will focus mostly on economic issues, especially energy cooperation and development, at a meeting with Central American presidents in Costa Rica on Friday and Saturday.
But Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala also are struggling with severe criminal violence of their own, much of it linked to the Mexican gangs smuggling narcotics to the United States.
"The vision here is that we want to make sure that our hemisphere is more effectively integrated to improve the economy and security of all people," Obama said at the press conference in Washington. "That's good for the United States."
Pena complains that both gangland violence and the shared strategy to confront it defined the relationship with Washington during the term of his predecessor, former President Felipe Calderon, from an opposing party that governed Mexico for 12 years. Pena comes from the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, that ruled Mexico for about seven decades.
Mexican officials have moved to scale back the close collaboration and intelligence sharing that developed under Calderon, analysts say. At the same time, they've worked aggressively to push the violence from both headlines and the bilateral agenda in an effort to improve Mexico's international reputation.Next Page >

What are you doing this weekend? A taste of Sonoma's Alexander Valley
Think wine country north of San Francisco, and Napa springs to mind so quickly that the Santa Rosa-Healdsburg area gets overlooked. It shouldn't. On a recent visit to the area, we got better acquainted with the Jordan Vineyard & Winery, one of California's top-rated vintners and just a five-minute drive north of Healdsburg. On Thursday (today), it's introducing estate tours that further enhance the understanding and the experience of wine tasting. We had a preview tour last month. Here's a little of what we saw.
--John Lampl

Alexander Valley
The Jordan Winery & Vineyard on Alexander Valley Road will host small parties -- no more than 12 people -- on its new tours, which last three hours and include two wine-tasting stops -- a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay, both delightful wines.

By Maurielle LueFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Police called it an Old West-style gun battle in the middle of the street in the middle of the day. More than 16 casings from at least two guns were recovered at the scene on Detroit's east side.East Lantz and Concord Street were blocked to thru traffic while police reconstructed the scene and neighbors gave eyewitness accounts.We're told two neighborhood watch members were doing some repairs to a car when they were approached by two strangers with guns. The pair tried to rob the men and steal one of their cars. One of the victims was shot in the leg when he tried to wrestle a gun away. In that moment, the other victim pulled his gun and fired killing one suspect and shooting the other, who got away.Meanwhile, neighbors are supporting their friend, who they say did what was necessary to save his own life."If they wouldn't have a gun, they would've been dead," said Luetrisha Elliot.

We swap out a lot of the regular flour with the less refined wholewheat version for the dough. In the filling, we cut down on the cheese without losing any flavour and also use fresh, sweet cherry tomatoes which don't need much done to them to taste amazing.
For the dough:
For the filling:
stir the sugar and the yeast into the warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
mix the flours, with the yeast mixture, olive oil and a generous pinch of salt.
flour a surface and tip out the dough to knead it for about 10 minutes until smooth then transfer to an oiled bowl.
cover and leave it for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
chop the cherry tomatoes and the basil, finely dice the shallot and grate the garlic.
heat the oil in a pan and chuck in the shallot and garlic to soften slightly before adding the tomatoes and basil.
squeeze in the tomato purée and add the spinach to let everything cook out and the spinach wilt.
preheat an oven to 200ºC.
flour a surface again, cut the dough in half and chill or freeze one part.
roll out half of the remaining dough into a thin circle.
spoon half of the tomato filling into the middle of the dough, then scatter over the some bresaola, mozzarella and crumbled feta.
fold the dough over to create a half moon shape and seal it by crimping the edges with a dab of water.
repeat with a second one and lay both on a baking tray before brushing with beaten egg.
bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the dough has browned and puffed up.
serve with a crisp dressed salad.

Albany Police Investigators are gathering clues from a 'hole in the wall' burglary at the Brothers Package Store at 1101 Newton Road.
They didn't break through a concrete wall, as other crooks have done, but broke through an AC duct system after they got through a chain link fence.
They apparently pulled the electrical box from the building.
They stole a small amount of cash that was in the store, and some liquor. They broke several bottles of liquor inside the store.
Police say that video surveillance will be limited, since there was no electricity in the store when the electrical box was pulled off. They do note that there was a city surveillance camera on that store's corner.
The store owners say it will cost more than $1,000 to repair all the damage.

Nero 6.0 Ultra is a versatile, comprehensive CD/DVD software suite that gives you excellent bang for the buck.
The Sony Z Ultra Google Play Edition's insanely large size and stratospheric price make the Nexus 5 and Note 3 better options for pure Android power.
Flip Video has made some modest improvements to the original Ultra--but it's only worth buying at a reasonable discount off its list price.
While it may not be a must-have upgrade for existing PSP owners, a host of subtle improvements make the latest Sony PSP (aka the PSP 2000) an even better deal for anyone looking for a solid portable gaming and multimedia device.
Samsung's finally made an affordable ultrabook, and the 13-inch Series 5 Ultra is a well-priced and far slimmer product than its 14-inch cousin. Still, it's not a runaway bargain, and it feels like corners have been cut in adapting it from the stellar Series 9's design. You also might want to wait a few weeks for Intel's latest processors to arrive.
While Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300 has a basic feature set, its $200 price tag, compact size, and Epub file compatibility make it an appealing e-book reader.
Unless you want the thinnest smartphone on the block, the more powerful HTC One and Droid Maxx are better buys.
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra has a great screen and loads of power, plus it won't die if you drop it in the bath. Its gargantuan size, however, is likely to make it impractical for most people to use as an everyday phone.
Pricing not available
The Ultra extends Fitbit's already impressive personal fitness data measurement abilities, but for the same $99.95 price. Already a high-tech pedometer, the Ultra now has an altimeter to record stairs climbed, too. It isn't as advanced as more expensive mobile fitness gadgets, but the tiny device is easy to wear all day long and fun to use.
Folks looking for a phone with a QWERTY keyboard will find in the Samsung Transform Ultra a reliable midtier device, though $20 more could nab you an even better phone.

As part of the ongoing strong drive to promote tourism as well as cultural artistry, Cambodia is set to host its first ever International Film Festival in 2010.
The much awaited event will be financially sponsored by UNESCO and is organised by the Cambodia Film Commission, FX Entertainment, Associated Filmmakers of Cambodia and Kmy Films jointly.
The festival will feature at least 30 Cambodian films as well as a large number of films from around 10 countries across Asia and Europe. These films will be in the categories of documentaries, international independent films, youth related films, Khmer films both modern and classic, as well as exemplary music videos and TV dramas.
The festival will take place over a period of three days and will comprise of an opening ceremony, outdoor screenings, theatre screenings, a showcase for the cinema industry, workshops, seminars and an award ceremony.
The International Film Festival will provide a forum for theatre industrialists to work together and learn from one another and it is hoped that the Cambodian film industry would gain much insight and knowledge through this venture. Further, the Cambodian government hopes that the festival will boost tourism and will promote Cambodia not only as a destination spot but also as a film shooting venue.
The Government of Cambodia together with the UNESCO is also keen to nurture and foster cultural and artistic needs and thereby develop the minds and lives of many in the surrounding region.
The festival will not only feature lavish galas â by invitation only â but also events which will be open to the public. Visitors to Phnom Penh during this time will be in for a treat. If such visitors seek a five star hotel Phnom Penh from which to base themselves, then the Raffles Hotel Le Royal with its classical yet modern outlook is a wonderful luxury hotel Cambodia.
