In an engaging turn of events, Superman presented the captivating figure of Ultroman, who shares Superman’s powers and boasts a mesmerizing backstory connected to Lex Luthor. Unlike his comic book version, this Ultroman seems to embody the essence of another DC character, Bizarro.
It’s plausible that the character of Ultraman in the recent film bears resemblance to this DC comic book hero, known for his intricate background storyline.
Is Ultraman a Bizarro Superman clone in DCU?
Although the creators haven’t explicitly confirmed that Ultraman transforms into Bizarro or is related to Bizarro, some compelling evidence suggests this possibility among certain fans. Unlike Superman, who has numerous clones in the comics, Ultraman is a unique version of Superman who deviates from Superman’s principles.
Bizarro, not unlike Superman, is a character who was created as a clone, this time by Lex Luthor. In many depictions, he’s shown to be manipulated like Ultraman from the movie, but in comics, there’s more depth to him. He’s an imperfect clone, and as time passes, he degenerates into a creature with pale skin. Frequently, fans have drawn parallels between Bizarro and Frankenstein’s monster, as noted by ScreenCrush.
The character is often likened to a strange twist on Superman, much like how Ultraman manifests in the DC Universe. In certain comic book adaptations, Bizarro even builds his own world, an odd counterpart to Earth. This world teems with characters that share Bizarro’s unusual characteristics. Ultimately, Ultraman is sucked into a black hole within this pocket universe. Could it be possible for him to mutate into Bizarro while inside the pocket universe?
It’s plausible that DC chose not to definitively depict this character’s demise, leaving open the chance for them to delve into the Bizarro aspect in the future.
In light of his heart-wrenching past, it’s no surprise that this character aligns perfectly with James Gunn’s distinctive approach to portraying comic book characters. His complex moral nature is a perfect fit for that style. Notably, the director has employed this technique in various instances within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, notably when working with characters such as Rocket Raccoon, Yondu, and Adam Warlock.
Audience members might need to be patient for a while to uncover the facts, but the Bizarro theory, one of the intriguing ideas born from the recent DC film, is certainly worth considering.
Superman is playing in theatres across the world.
