Bibbo

"Bibbo" Bibbowski was a longshoreman and a former boxer. He first met Superman while Superman was looking for information in a Suicide Slum bar called the Ace O' Clubs. Bibbo, thinking this was a guy in a Superman suit, punched Superman, and hurt his hand. He gained respect for the Man of Steel. He would later refer to Superman as his favorite. His admiration for Superman seemingly remained based on physical strength, as he stated that Lobo was his favorite when the Czarnian appeared tougher.

He found a winning lottery ticket and used the money to buy the Ace O' Clubs bar and help those living in the Slum. By the time that Superman was killed by the creature Doomsday, he had come to represent the idea of ordinary people living up to Superman's example.

Bibbo briefly took care of a small white dog named Krypto, not to be confused with the current Kryptonian dog of the same name. The original Krypto's name arose when the engraver Bibbo hired made a mistake. It was supposed to be Krypton.
