Eventually, Superman and the Silver Surfer figure out the ruse and get the Impossible Man and Mister Mxyzptlk to turn on each other. Meanwhile, Mister Mxyzptlk transports the Silver Surfer to Metropolis – which he’s shrunken into a bottled city like Kandor. The two also learn that by combining their powers, they can travel to each other’s universes and decide to do a crossover prank.Ĭhoosing to switch sparring partners, the Impossible Man brings Superman to the Marvel Universe and uses Mister Mxyzptlk’s 5 th dimension magic to make Superman believe he’s on Marvel’s version of Krypton – which is being invaded by the Skrulls. Delighted to meet a fellow prankster, “Impy” compares notes with “Mxy” and learns all about Superman. While this would seem to settle that the two are one and the same, in a later Marvel/DC crossover comic Silver Surfer/Superman, the Impossible Man claims he actually met Mister Mxyzptlk while popping into the in-between dimension he goes to between transformations.

Moreover, Mister Mxyzptlk comments on how he looks “different” in other universes and reveals that in this other place, he’s a skinny alien creature like the Impossible Man (colors reversed). In Superman’s Krisis of Krimson Kryptonite storyline, Mxyzptlk decides to skip pestering Superman for a month (after creating a chunk of power-stealing red kryptonite for Lex Luthor to harass Superman with in his place), and goes to play with "four new friends." At one point in the story, readers see Mxyzptlk pop from Metropolis into a separate universe where he harasses a group of blue-suited superhumans who are obviously the Fantastic Four. Interestingly, different comic book stories indicate that the Impossible Man and Mister Mxyzptlk are both separate entities and the same person.
