Description: The Man of Steel #5 (1986) Vintage Bizzaro Superman Appearance | Part 5 of the Limited Series | John Byrne Story and Art Lex Luthor consults with one of his scientists, Dr. Cheng, who is overseeing a classified program known as Project Changeling. By scanning Superman's DNA, Cheng hoped to construct a perfect clone duplicate of the Man of Steel – one that would be completely subservient to Lex Luthor. However, Cheng did not take Superman's alien biology into account and the Superman clone crystallizes, transforming into a twisted Bizarro mockery of the true Superman. Notes: - Luthor and Dr. Cheng's creation is never referred to as Bizarro in this issue. However, Who's Who: Update '87 #1 provides an entry for the monster under the name Bizarro. - All of the other covers for the Man of Steel limited series spotlights a feature character walking towards the reader's point of view. The cover to this issue however, shows Bizarro walking away from the reader. This gimmick is keeping in line with the Pre-Crisis stereotype of Bizarro as a mixed-up, backwards creature. Comics come newly bagged and boarded and are shipped in industry standard protective mailers. Please inquire if you are looking for a particular comic book or run of books. Some books may be pulled from online availability and/or set aside to send to CGC.
