    Origin

    Silver Age

    The first Bizarro Supergirl was a duplicate of Supergirl, created by Bizarro Jr. using the "duplicating machine". He had been transformed into Bizarro form by Supergirl's chemistry project that went awry. He then flew to The Fortress of Solitude and tinkered with the duplication ray and hits Supergirl in the process. Superman then appears moments later, and discovers what's unfolded. Superman then orders Bizarro Supergirl to take Bizarro Jr. and return to their home planet of Htrae. Bizarro Supergirl however disobeys his command and instead decides to stay and keep Bizarro Jr. on Earth with her.

    However In the Fortress of Bizarro, Bizarro sees that his son has forgotten who is real parents are, after he sent him to Earth and so he decides wants to retrieve his son. Bizarro declares war over Earth with Htrae, and ventures home to prepare his army of Bizarro to attack Earth. Superman however invents Blue Kryptonite with the use of the "duplicating machine" to stop Bizarro's impending army from destroying Earth. As Superman returns from his space excursion he brings back just enough Blue Kryptonite to get the baby away from Bizarro Supergirl. Superman and Supergirl return baby Bizarro Jr. to his rightful parents Bizarro and Bizarro Lois Lane and all is well. As they make their way back to Earth, they abruptly stumble upon Bizarro Supergirl's dead body. She had been killed by the very Blue Kryptonite Superman had originally created, while laying in wait to ambush Superman and Supergirl on their way back home.

    Personal data

    Appearance

    No Caption Provided

    Bizarrogirl looks like the opposite of Supergirl as well, her face generally being grey or chalky white, features often angular, and hair often disheveled. Bizarrogirl's costume is also a variation on Superman's as the S on his chest will be backwards as if in a mirror, and as of recently her costume is more reminiscent of the "Silver Age" version of Supergirl's. Yet it's much more tattered and dingy in comparison to it's vibrant colorful counterpart.

    Powers and Abilities

    No Caption Provided

    Despite being able to match Supergirl's strength punch for punch, the rest of Bizarrogirl's superpowers are, in other respects, the complete opposite of Supergirl's. Instead of heat vision, Bizarrogirls's red-irised, black-tinged eyes emit freezing beams of ice and her x-ray vision doesn't really see through anything, but it instead solidifies it. And where Supergirl can compress her breath into concentrated gusts of cold air, Bizarrogirl belches forth gouts of flame.

    Grammar

    Bizarro's are known for their very distinct way of speaking. The logic of their speech is typically inverted both grammatically as well as in word selection. First, Verbs and adjectives are backwards. When a Bizarro says the word "perfect" he almost invariably means "imperfect". "Slow" would actually mean "fast" or "quick", the meanings of "help"/"save" and "harm"/"kill" would be reversed, and so forth. Their known for using the wrong pronoun as the subject of a verb. Rather than saying "I hate you" a Bizarro would say "Me like you". Also, Bizarro's uses only the first person conjugation of his verbs. Rather than saying "I am great" they might say "Me is terrible". Bizarro's also doesn't typically use contractions to negate verbs, and instead uses no before the verb. An example of this would be saying "Me no" rather than "I don't".

    Because the nature of the various grammatical errors that make up the modern Bizarro's speech, and the unpredictable nature of which these errors will occur together, a Bizarro's speech patterns are often difficult to follow, particularly when they're trying to expressing more than one thought at a time.
