In Superman #87 (1994), Lex Luthor II's desperate attempt to cure his deteriorating health by experimenting with Superman's DNA results in the creation of a new, imperfect clone. This pale white duplicate, later known as Bizarro II, quickly causes destruction in Metropolis and kidnaps Lois Lane, leading to public confusion and suspicion falling on the real Superman. This issue is notable to collectors as it features the first appearance of Bizarro II, a significant character in Superman's rogues' gallery.
