Dark reflections always expose the evil side of mighty moral men, such as those of the Men of Steel and their Big Red Cheese counterpart. We speak of Bizarro from Htrae-One, Flying-Tiger of Earth-Two and Niatpac Levram of Earth-S. While Bizarro and the Tiger were linked to Earth-One and Earth-Two's Superman, each had relatively truncated costumed careers much like Levram. All three were synthetic life forms Created by Lex Luthor, Funny Face and Wizzo respectively...each pseudo-Superman replicated the abilities and appearance of their originals. The original Bizarro was a lifeless clone of Superboy.
Another clone of Superman was an alien being spawned from an alien vessel that collided into Kal-El's rocket ship during its journey to Earth-One. The energy contained within the vessel replicated itself into a humanoid resembling baby Kal-El, who would be raised by a gangster couple as first Super-Brat then Super-Bully, living a covert life as a super villain. His adopted parents eventually requested that he publically reveal himself as Super-Menace in battle with Superman. However, sent all that the good original had which he did not have, Super-Menace became energy again to destroy both himself and the Derek's.
Super-Brat had a correlating character on Earth-Two in the lad named Wonder Boy, whose arrival via a meteorite from the Krypton of another universe known as Viro. Wonder Boy would have adventures there from the early 1940's, then returned a few years later having lost his powers.
Traveling back to his native universe of Earth-X and assuming the alter ego of comic book artist Clark Kent and secret leader of the LUTHAR League who regained powers from a visiting Jimmy “Steel-Man” Olsen of Earth-One! His resurgence as a superpowered paragon was short lived, and what became of him after America finally lost the long-lasting World War II conflict in the late 1960s is unknown.
