Bizarro Universe: Difference between revisions

** Shelbyville also has a nuclear power plant, but run by flamboyant billionaire Aristotle Amadopoulos. That suburban towns the size of Springfield and Shelbyville can't share a single plant speaks to the depth of their rivalry.

*** Of note is that Bizarro Homer does not work there. He is instead his own boss at the Shelbyville car impound (or he changes job every two weeks, just like his Springfield counterpart).

'''Wiggum:''' Get out! Well, what do they call it?<br />

'''Lou:''' A Quarter Pounder with cheese.<br />

** Bizarro World is a planet (or sometimes a universe) that works on Bizarro logic, where everything is opposite of Earthly ways (the planet itself is actually a cube and named "Htrae"). Bizarro World in the [[Silver Age]] had a law stating it was a crime to do anything good or make anything pretty or to do things correctly. This was instituted by Bizarro #1 after Lois Lane called him a hideous, and backwards "Bizzaro" [[Superman]]. The inhabitants actually rejected the first Bizarro baby because it was perfect by human standards, then had tried to get it back when they found out it would turn Bizarro three days after it was born. ''[[All Star DC Comics|All-Star Superman]]'' introduced "Zibarro," who was like a Bizarro on Bizarro World. That is, he was a normal person.

*** What's weird about it too was, Bizarro was supposed to have originated because the duplicator ray just couldn't handle duplicating Superman, but later this was changed so that everything duplicated was a Bizarro style duplicate. Remember, Lex Luthor built the original.

*** Another version of this morality-swapped universe is the post-[[Infinite Crisis]] Earth-3, featuring the Crime Society of America, which differs slightly from the antimatter version. It's supposed to be the morality-swapped version of Earth-2, while the antimatter universe is the morality-swapped version of the main Earth.

* [[Requiem Chevalier Vampire]] Takes it to it's most [[Hell of a Time|hellish]] extreme: Where the sea was on Earth there is now land, and likewise for the oceans. Instead of growing older people regress in age, until they turn into foetuses and are then entirely forgotten, and most integreally to the plot, the more cruel a person was in life, the better they are rewarded in death...

* The [[Mirror Universe]] of Moebius in the [[Archie Comics]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series also has some Bizarro elements, besides the morality flip. A pacifist, Irish-accented Knuckles guards the Sunken Island, and instead of the rare and powerful [[Mineral MacGuffin|Chaos Emeralds]] there is a bountiful supply of Anarchy Beryl, which gives [[Power At a Price]] (Sonic figures this out in an impressive moment of [[Genre Savvy]]).

* ''[[Fairy Tail (Manga)|Fairy Tail]]'' has the Edolas arc, and [[Author Appeal|it's apparent the mangaka likes this trope]]. Among other things, [[The Chick|Lucy]] is a [[Delinquent]] [[Tsundere]], [[Walking Shirtless Scene|Gray]] wears multiple layers of clothing and stalks [[Stalker With a Crush|Juvia]], {{spoiler|and [[Broken Bird|Erza]] is a villain.}} It's also revealed that {{spoiler|Mystogan is actually that universe's counterpart to Jellal, who came over to the regular universe to stop his world from harvesting magic power that doesn't belong to it.}}

** It's interesting to note that Mira is basically the same kind and sweet person in both universes, except that regular Mira, used to be kind of a jerk, and went through a serious personality shift after the death of her younger sister which didn't happen to Edolas Mira {{spoiler|except it did, and the regular universe version of her sister appeared in Edolas in her place.}}
