Origin

Bizarro, an imperfect duplicate of Superman once sought to populate his adopted home world, Htrae, with imperfect duplicates of Superman's closest friends. Using the Duplicate Ray, he created an android doppelganger of Perry White. Perry exemplified many of his Earth counterpart's trademark characteristics, but also behaved in a manner counter to the real Perry's known lifestyle. For instance, Bizarro Perry insisted that his reporters called him "Chief".

History

Bizarro once brought Bizarro Perry on a visit to Earth. Daily Planet reporter Jimmy Olsen saw the two, but mistook them for the real Superman and Perry White. Jimmy followed them onto Bizarro's space vessel only to discover that the beings he believed to be his pal and boss, were in reality imperfect duplicates. Trapped on the Bizarro World, Jimmy had little choice but to accept a job at the Daily Htrae. Jimmy wrote incredible sensationalistic stories (the type that the real Perry would have marveled at), but Bizarro Perry was less than impressed. Feeling that Olsen's tales were too dynamic, he ordered him to go out and report on more mundane matters.

Some time later, Perry hired Bizarro Lois Lane to become a star reporter for the Htrae. Bizarro Lois was likewise involved with Perry's alternate low-notch reporter, Bizarro Clark Kent. It didn't take Perry long however to realize that Clark Kent was also the planet's No. 1 super-hero, Bizarro (primarily because he always wore his "Bizarro No. 1" badge draped around his neck, even when dressed in civilian attire).

Notes

Bizarro Perry White was created by Superman co-creator, Jerry Siegel.

Following the collapse of the Multiverse during the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, Htrae and all of its inhabitants were erased from the re-imagined timeline. As such, Bizarro Perry White's existence is now considered apocryphal by the standards of the modern canon.

Bizarro Perry's physical statistics are based upon those of his Earth-One counterpart.

Although the Earth-One Perry White was married, it is unknown whether the Bizarro Perry White ever took a wife.

Trivia

The planet Htrae was briefly seen during the recent Infinite Crisis event. Presumably, all of the planet's inhabitants, including Perry, were present as behind-the-scenes spectators of the event.
