[[quoteblock]]** Bizarro was originally a dimwitted alternate version of Superman from the topsy-turvy AlternateUniverse of \\\"Bizarro World\\\", which was a MirrorUniverse populated by opposite versions of people in the real world; since Superman was driven to protect the people of Earth, Bizarro was driven to spread destruction and chaos. The concept of an \\\"opposite world\\\" was the sort of goofy gimmick that went out of fashion towards the end of the Silver Age, but Bizarro proved to be a popular enough character that he was brought back for multiple adaptations and reimaginings. Most modern versions keep the basic premise of a dimwitted replica of Superman, but they usually just make him a flawed clone of the real deal.[[/quoteblock]]

Okay there are several inaccuracies with the example here as written:

1) Silver Age Bizarro World was not an AlternateUniverse, it was another planet in the main DC universe. It\\\'s only in modern day re-imaginings such as \\\'\\\'ComicBook/AllStarSuperman\\\'\\\'s Bizarro World or \\\'\\\'ComicBook/TheMultiversity\\\'\\\'s Earth-29 that it\\\'s been depicted as a separate universe.

2) Bizarro was not from Bizarro World, in fact he created Bizarro-World

3) Bizarro being a flawed clone of Superman is something that been a part of the character since his first appearance, not a modern re-imaging of the concept. And infact the only versions of the character that have been AlternateUniverse counterparts of Superman are again from \\\'\\\'ComicBook/AllStarSuperman\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'ComicBook/TheMultiversity\\\'\\\'.
