Bizarro brushes off the idea of how powerful Dreamer is, saying Waller has all the power she needs with him. Bizarro surprisingly opens up admitting that Waller's need for Bizarro makes him feel just as wanted and needed as the real Superman.

Bizarro Joined the Suicide Squad Because He Wanted to Feel Like a Hero

Amanda Waller has been working in the shadows for months, preparing to take the Earth's metahuman population down by any means necessary. Over time, pieces began falling into place and among the assets she collected, Waller managed to blackmail Dreamer into working for her. Against her better judgment, Dreamer did Waller's dirty work, reluctantly joining the latest version of the Suicide Squad and helping the squad take over the island nation Gamorra. Unfortunately, Dreamer had no clue what hell she was bringing to the island as the Suicide Squad's members took the island by force.

Thanks to his broken, backward mind, Bizarro is either an outright villain or he tries to be good, but fails to understand right from wrong. Unfortunately, Bizarro has no clue what he's gotten himself into working for Waller. He seems to possess some level of self-awareness and admits he knows Waller doesn't care if he lives or dies. But Bizarro feels useful and validated as a hero by working for Waller, who also doesn't care that Bizarro is a 'not Superman'. But Bizarro sadly doesn't realize the hell he's about to bring into the world working for Waller.

Bizarro's Actions are Leading the DC Universe to Absolute Power

Bizarro might want to be a hero more than anything, but his assistance is only helping Amanda Waller see her plans through. Previews of DC's upcoming summer event Absolute Power have already showcased the hell she's going to bring to DC's heroes and it's all because Bizarro put his faith in the wrong person. The real tragedy is that for all of the destruction he brings, Bizarro just wants to do good. But in his misguided attempts at heroism, the Suicide Squad's new recruit has only succeeded in helping make the world a darker place.

Suicide Squad: Dream Team #3 is available on May 14th from DC Comics.
