BartKon week – Day 1 Villain AU

Ooh, hell yeah!!! I decided to draw Impulse and Superboy in the Earth 3 and Bizarro World version (or is it called Htrae?) I really enjoyed drawing it,,

I was inspired by this panels:

From Superboy (1994) Annual 2 & Countdown (2007) #31

I think that on Earth 3, they would both show their full potential for cruelty but at the same time love for each other. In a world full of people who can stab you in the back, it's good to have loyal ally.

And in the Bizarro world, I thought for a long time about what Bart would be & look like because his opposite would be sad, uninspired, and perpetually slow i think. I also wanted to make him similar to the Bizarro Flash, but somehow it didn't work out.

also want to add that they will always be soulmates no matter the universe they in💕 they’re each others ride or die

plus close-ups

@diamondslink thank you for this wonderful event to show love for this ship & these characters 🫶 (well not exactly these bcs they’re villains but u get it)

what i can gather re: bizz's story to this point:

bizarro both created and destroyed bizarro world

he created and populated it with other bizarros like himself bc he felt like no one understood him

bizarro world was earth's counterpart, including a happy superfamily and dual identity life for bizarro (ie: "not clark kent")

during this period he made a lot of mistakes, with one panel implying that he even made a deal with lex luthor (who was presumably president at the time)

bizarro destroyed it bc he knew, ultimately, that everything—his planet and everything he was doing—was fake

what he regrets most is abandoning and killing his family

some things to glean from this:

in this webtoon: bizarro world = htrae from pre-crisis/earth-one, NOT bizarro world from post-crisis/pre-n52

however, it very much strays from htrae's ending (which involves a very convoluted plot ft. the phantom zone and also mr mxyzptlk that i still don't quite understand)

(the tl;dr is that a wizard began destroying htrae, and the bizarros living on it were glad to see the apocalypse occur, so in a very twisted move, bizarro lois and clark used a rocket to shoot bizarro superboy into the planet's core to finally destroy it, and when the planet exploded bizarro was beheaded in the chaos to land at clark's feet to utter his last words before dying)

(i swear this is real and imo it is the least complicated part of the story)

compare this to bizarro world from post-crisis/pre-n52, where that planet's counterparts were very literally opposite to new earth: loiz (bizarro lois) was miserable and hated bizarro (unlike clark and lois' loving relationship)

but afaik, bizarro world was never destroyed during new earth's existence

now, it's clear that the webtoon is drawing inspiration from htrae for bizarro's happy family life

but it's also drawing characteristics of bizarro from post-n52/prime earth with his angst and inner feelings

(yes, i stan brainzarro. and tbh rebirth bizz is still somehow a good character despite lobdell writing him?? a miracle tbh)

it's also very clear that [webtoon] bizarro intends to make things right, or at least do right by his family now that he has a second chance

all that being said: i'm curious to see how this'll be resolved

it'll almost certainly be rushed like a printing house during deadlines, and given the previous arcs it'll also be a disappointing ending despite having a really interesting start, but i am looking forward to seeing how webtoon bizarro continues to blend different continuities/character histories together. he's been the most successful among the outlaws in terms of story and characterization, and i've been pleasantly surprised by the direction taken for him thus far

don't fcuk this up patrick young istg if bizarro gets the short shrift in this webtoon i am legally claiming him from dc

In her starting days of backwards magic, Zatanna Zatara had made the mistake of realm transportation spells that initially brought a few test objects to Htrae AKA Bizarro World. This made them the first bits of furniture for the backwards world and introduced the residents to a sphere.

Bizarro from Htrae (Earth 29) in Superman vol 4 #42

[yoshimickster]

I wanna stab Earth-29 Bizarro to death with a Blue-Kryptonite dagger.

He is a TERRIBLE person, a TERRIBLE father, and should rot in hell!

And for those from Earth-29 reading:

He am GREAT person, am GREAT father, and should grow in heaven!

Lex Luthor has been shipping nuclear waste to Bizarro world for years, as its safe for Bizarros to consume. They have offered to trade things for it, but they don't have anything Lex wants.
