After putting up with Mxy's antics, Superman grabs the giant typewriter where Mxy left it and defiantly said that the imp could never type the name forwards. He then proceeds to make up a name for himself on a giant typewriter (brought into existence from an advertisement on a billboard), choosing "Mxyzptlk" as he figures it will be nearly impossible for Superman to accomplish. The imp agrees to go home, undoing everything he has done magically, if Superman can get him to spell, type, or say his name backwards. Superman quickly learns that he's really an imp from the 5th Dimension. Mxyzptlk first appeared on the Post-Crisis Earth in Metropolis posing as a dashing young man named Ben Deroy, who convinces Lois Lane to marry him. However, when Superboy encountered the adult Mxy after this adventure, he seemed to have no knowledge of their encounter.
Unfortunately, this changed history so that the Earth was destroyed, so the boys Robin, Superboy, and Impulse had to indoctrinate Mxy with "Three Stooges" videos, changing him from the serious student to the silly prankster. This Mxy was a serious student who was disbelieving of Young Justice's claims that he would go on to be a prankster for Earth's greatest hero. According to one story, young Mxy was drawn to Earth and encountered Young Justice, years after his adult self first visited Superman.
