| Shortly after arriving in Metropolis, there was an inevitable meeting between the Metropolis elite; Superman and Lex Luthor. Because Luthor staged an attack on his yacht to lure Superman, Luthor was arrested and booked. Furious, Luthor turned to his bioengineers to create an exact copy of the alien hero. His top scientist in bioengineering was Doctor Teng. Teng was successful in recreating the basic body structure for a super-clone except for the crucial elements in Kryptonian DNA that is not present in human DNA. The result of his work was a cloned body whose 'flesh' crystallized white and gave the clone a ghostlike appearance. Luthor and Superman both dubbed him 'Bizarro'. |
