Trivia

  • Mxyzptlk was the ultimate villain in Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow. It was revealed that he was motivated purely by boredom and had spent the first 2 millenia of his existence not moving, the second 2 millenia being saintly and good and the third two millenia being mischevious, he would spend the next two millenia being evil and the two millenia after that being guilty. Given that this story is not part of cannon it is uncertain if this is true.
  • The character was originally introduced as Mister Mxyztplk
Pre-Crisis they were indicated by nature and powers to be two seperate beings
According to "World's Funniest" the current incarnation of the character is supposed to have been both but this is largely not accepted as truth.
