Mister Mxyzptlk was a Fifth Dimensional imp who frequently harangued Superman.
History
Bored with living in the Fifth Dimension with beings that had powers to rival his own, Mr. Mxyzptlk started going to the Third Dimension where his powers were unrivaled. Using these powers he tormented humans taking on various guises such as genies, imps, and leprechauns. He had done this for centuries but eventually became bored with that as well.
Mxyzptlk returned and found his greatest, most entertaining opponent in the Man of Steel. Mxyzptlk, to antagonize Superman, tricked Bizarro into attacking Superman from Bizarro World. However, by doing so, the imp caused himself to get in trouble with the 5th dimensional council that punished him by stripping him of his powers and sending him to Earth to do good deeds for three months.
After defeating Bizarro, Superman learned of Mxyzptlk's punishment. Though the imp offered to be the Man of Steel's personal servant to pay off his debt, Superman decided that his time would be better spent assisting Bizarro instead. As such, Mxyzptlk followed Bizarro to Bizarro world, "helping" him save lives. [1]
