It just seems a bit more threatening. I like the purple outfit, which is what Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ went with in the giant sign for the Bizarro coaster.

I mentioned that Bizarro #1 first called himself by that title when he lived on HTrae with multiple Bizarros and showed scanned images of it. Joker giving him that sign is the post-crisis explanation for that title, which I explained as well. Jon-El: Again, you seem to not be reading the article.

Um. And yet you include the TV show and cartoon versions? Adn exactly how does one define "continuity" at DC? By excluding Elseworlds and non-Earth 2 stories? You'd be digging yourself a hole, whichever way you go. Regardless, you missed one obvious thing: The Trinity Matt Wagner design turns the "twisted-S" into a "Z" - which makes sense for BiZarro. Or it could be interpreted as a "2" which, as a clone, would also make sense. Finally, you're implying that the "Bizarro #1" was created in the Emperor Joker storyline. Not the case. Bizarro #1 was created back when Htrae was populated by multiple Bizarro Supermen and Bizarro Lois Lanes, and the first Bizarro wore the stone medallion in order to differentiate himself from the rest. (Later the Htrae was populated by an entire bizarro'ed earth population.) “Re-read the piece, wherein I explained at the very beginning, as I explain in just about all of these, that I stick with mainstream continuity.”

Regardless, you missed one obvious thing: The Trinity Matt Wagner design turns the “twisted-S” into a “Z” – which makes sense for BiZarro. Or it could be interpreted as a “2″ which, as a clone, would also make sense.

In this case, he was just an evil clone of Superman and looked exactly like him as portrayed by Dean Cain. The only real hint that he was even supposed to be Bizarro is that Lois actually said the word "Bizarro" once in the episode, although she wasn't using it as a name for the character.

The Bizarros realized that they were all wearing costumes with correctly-facing "S" logos; this meant that Bizarro #1 (who created them all) was guilty of creating something "perfect", which is right there in the Code Uv Bizarro as a "big crime" So he was going to be executed unless he came up with a way to fix it. The Bizarro Luthor (who was of course a good guy) came up with the solution - All B#1 had to do was sew brand new costumes for every single Bizarro with a reversed "S" and deliver them to every Bizarro on Htrae.
