Booray for Bizarro

"**Booray for Bizarro**" is the thirty-second episode of Justice League Action.

## Summary

Amazo captures the Justice League after copying their super-powers, and it is left to the unlikely duo of Bizarro and Space Cabbie to try to overcome the baddie.

## Story

The Justice League are holding a meeting in the Watchtower attended by Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and the Martian Manhunter. By video link, Wonder Woman tells them that she will be unable to attend because she has run into the utterly illogical but harmless Bizarro and needs to keep him occupied to make him abandon his plan of joining the Justice League. Bizarro continually does the opposite of what he actually needs to do.

As the other members carry on without her, an alarm sounds and a muscular, human-like figure suddenly crashes through the Watchtower dome to confront them. He introduces himself as the android Amazo and declares his intention of destroying them. The League take up his challenge and a fight ensues. In succession, each of the League members attack him but, as his eyes flash intermittently, they are all defeated as Amazo appears to have powers identical to theirs. Batman realises that the android can copy their powers if he gets close enough, but Amazo is still apparently overcome when Superman arrives and surprises him. However, recovering immediately, Amazo subdues Superman (absorbing his powers) and, having defeated all of the superheroes present, now uses the comms to send signals to the remaining members of the Justice League, instructing them to assemble in the Watchtower.

Wonder Woman, still in the company of Bizarro, receives the call and leaves to return to the Watchtower. Bizarro is determined to help her but decides that he first needs to get support from someone a lot smarter than himself. In the meantime, Amazo has locked up the five members of the League in the Watchtower's cells. He tells them that he can also mimic their way of thinking, but at that moment is ensnared by Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth. He reveals that his plan is to rule the world by stealing the powers of the entire Justice League. Amazo using intangibility breaks free, tying Wonder Woman in her own noose and placing her in a cell.

But Bizarro also arrives, carrying someone wrapped in a cape. It is Space Cabbie, who has impressed Bizarro in the past when giving travel directions. Amazo contemptuously hurls Cabbie away but Bizarro saves him. The android confronts Bizarro and copies his powers but the latter is naively unimpressed and starts a fight. While this rages, the superheroes tell Cabbie to go to the lab to stop the transmission to the other League members. Amazo freezes Bizarro into a block of ice and goes in search of Cabbie. Bizarro breaks free and continues the fight but it becomes evident that Amazo has copied Bizarro's illogical way of thinking. As the android has a naturally logical mind, he finds it impossible to assimilate Bizarro's thoughts, blows a circuit and collapses unconscious.

Later, as Green Lantern hauls Amazo away in a green box, the remaining Justice Leaguers feel obliged to accept Bizarro into the team, except for Batman who decides to ask him to stand still while he is inducted, and illogically Bizarro does the opposite and flies away.
