"Bizarro" is the twelfth episode in the first season of the CBS television series Supergirl, which aired on February 1, 2016. It was written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Rachel Shukert, and directed by John Showalter.
The episode centers on Maxwell's plot to destroy Supergirl with a Bizarro-version of the Girl of Steel, while Kara's begins romancing Cat's son Adam.
In Maxwell's Lab 52, Lord begins putting the final touches on his new creation that preserved from the morgue by injecting a special piece of hardware. The infusion causes the comatose woman to come alive and her eyes to go black. Maxwell is impressed with the birth of his new creation, who now looks exactly like Supergirl, albeit with disappearing pitch black eyes (in this universe, a female version of Bizarro) and follows Maxwell's orders. Kara is frustrated over what happened with her doppelgänger and Hank is concerned about how capable Maxwell will go far to destroy Supergirl. The next day at CatCo, Cat brings her own latte and Kara a coffee, who suspects her of trying to play matchmaker. On the other hand, James and Winn have concerns. Max brainwashes the doppelgänger into thinking she is Supergirl and wanting to kill the real one, saying she is a bad person. That night, Kara excuses herself from Adam regretfully when she spots a tram car in danger on the news. When Kara arrives as Supergirl, the lookalike is ready to kill Kara, placing the passengers in the tram car in more danger. As Kara sees the wires snap, she rescues the tram car. Bizarro is confused because she saves people but Max tells her that even heroes can be bad underneath.
At the DEO, Kara tells Alex and J'onn that Bizarro isn't a gynoid but is genetically similar, suggesting the only way to deal with her is by using kryptonite. Winn would later discover that there was a kidnapping at Prometheus Labs, and that six people were among those missing, including the comatose woman that became Bizarro, which is what Cat has now dubbed her. Alex confronts Max and discovers that he used Kara's DNA from Red Tornado's broken arm, with the goal to help humanity survive and be stronger than the aliens. Alex suspects that he knows about Supergirl's identity. Kara, who is very much against using kryptonite, says Max is the real enemy, but Alex tells Kara that the DEO can't do anything about him. When Kara gets a text from Adam about their second dinner date, Alex tells her to go. Later that evening, James tries to talk Winn into how to talk to Kara, while during their dinner together, Kara explain to Adam about "her life" and they finally kiss, only to be interrupted by Bizarro, who kidnaps Kara and the two fight each other at a park, matching each other's powers. As the DEO hit Bizarro with kryptonite, she is degenerated and mutated, causing her skin become cracked and grayish and her eyes become black again. She now hates Supergirl, truly believing her to be evil and flies off.
