Moved, not entirely confidently, to AsHimself, because that\'s where Neil Gaiman\'s cameo in \'\'The Severed Sttets\'\' is, and it feels like the same deak.

* Bizarro was originally a dimwitted clone of Superman created by a scientist\\\'s \\\"replicating ray\\\", and he famously ruled over the topsy-turvy cube-shaped planet of \\\"Bizarro World\\\", which was populated by similarly dimwitted replicas of Superman and his friends. Some of the campier aspects of the character\\\'s origin story--like the cube-shaped planet, and the replicating ray--wouldn\\\'t have translated very well to the more grounded and serious post-\\\'\\\'Crisis\\\'\\\' continuity, but the general concept of a flawed Superman clone was popular enough that Bizarro himself was brought back. In his new origin, though, he was a genetically engineered replica of Superman created by a team of scientists on Lex Luthor\\\'s payroll, and his mental deficiency was played a bit more dramatically, making him more of a TragicMonster than a bumbling simpleton. Bizarro World has never been fully brought back, though it’s occasionally referenced and homaged in one-off stories.
