Many heroes have had evil versions of themselves turn up or just other versions of themselves. I'm talking about ones in continuity. Post and Pre Crisis and New Earth but not Elseworlds or other never been continuity books.
So who is it who's the Ultimate double, or the dastardliest doppelganger.
And just for fun Who's the worst.
For me it's a toss uo between Superboy Prime and Cyborg Superman for the the best.
And the worse has to be the original Crime Syndicate Owl Man. But the CSA Owlman is fantastic.
Top five then would be
Superboy Prime
Cyborg Superman
Eradicator
Alexander Luthor
professor Zoom

Worst: the Anti-Supergirl who recently appeared when Luthor exposed your, er, namesake to Black Kryptonite.
Most Dangerous: Pre-Crisis Composite Superman.
Whackiest: Bizarro.

Batzarro. Him no am the greatest.:D
I like Cyborg Superman. The idea is so stupid that it should be terrible. And yet, somehow he manages to be a good villain. Which, in turn, makes him great.

Bizarro is worst Marvel orginal, bizarro was last Marvel original.
(Translation: Bizarro is the best DC Doppleganger, Bizarro was the first DC Doppleganger).

My favorites have always been Professor Zoom and Sinestro. (I think if we're counting Zoom, then Sinestro has enough similiarites to count)
Bizarro has always had a soft spot for me too, but I really haven't like any version of the Modern age. Old School Bizarro rocked though.
I don't think you understand just how amazing it is that Cyborg Superman is a good villain.
He's an Evil Version of a character taken from Marvel with a Cloned body that makes him the Evil Version of yet another character, who also has Robot bodyparts. No character with that many cliches should be good. And yet... he is. He even ripped off a gimmick from an established villain and made it his own. The gimmick basically being the Death Star.
It defies all reason.

Well he started kind of cool, but he REALLY got overexposed and degenerated into suckiness.
Of course his recent appearence in Green Lantern helped make him cool again...

If Zoom counts then i'd have to say my favorite would Be Black Adam, with Bizarro being a VERY close second.

I always loved evil counterparts. Every hero should have them.
The Russian Zod was cool for a while. He had superman's face and he was the anti-superman because he function under the red son. He took over the world in days. Unfortunately he died in lame circumstances.
Professor Zoom is probably the ultimate , he not only killed Iris but he impersonate Barry in Barry's 2nd wedding day which led to the Flash killing Zoom.

Bizarro will never and momentarily be the worst original ever!!
[Bizarro will always and forever be the best doppelganger ever!!]
After that, I like me some Sinestro!

That's how they were billed in their original appearance.
Superman marries Lois and they have children.
Except, it wasn't Supes and it wasn't Lois. It was Superman's cousin (not Kara, his OTHER cousin, Van-Zee of Kandor, who just happens to be his identical twin), and a runaway heiress who just happened to be an exact double of Lois Lane.
And, presumably, if the real Lois and Clark had ever reproduced (Pre-Crisis), their kids would probably have looked just like these kids.
So, you have a WHOLE FAMILY of super-doppelgangers. That's gotta be the ultimate in anyone's book.
Oh Man when I was a kid I thought Professor Zoom was just the coolest.
Loved the name, loved the reversed-colours costume. Just neat.
In fact, recently (well, within the last couple of years, I guess), I even bought a Graffiti "Zoom" t-shirt.
Doesn't look as good on my obese frame though ... still, at least I can wear the colours!

those were great, especially the johnny quick superspeed junkie
My favorites though have to be Match, cause of the whole "IM BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL" attitude, Inertia the "miniZOOM", the russian Zod was awesome, and last but not least.......PROF ZOOM!
For me, the ultimate doppleganger is Niatpac Levram, an evil duplicate of Captain Marvel that came out of a mirror. I think he spoke backwards and everything. What a fun idea.
