Bizarro

Bizarro describes something that is weird, surreal, or absurdly contrary to expectations—a bizarre alternate version of normal reality.

The term comes from a Superman comic book villain who was an imperfect duplicate of the hero, doing everything backward or wrong.

A bizarro version of something inverts its familiar qualities: It was like some bizarro version of Christmas where everyone gave away their presents.

Often used attributively: bizarro world, bizarro logic.
