[edit] Fictional character biography

Happersen is Lex Luthor’s personal assistant and a brilliant scientist who specializes in clone technology. He serves as Luthor’s right hand man for much of Lexcorp’s history and is privy to the majority of Lexcorp secrets, including the initial Bizarro project. Happersen oversaw the transition of Lexcorp from Lex Luthor to his "son" Lex Luthor II (actually a clone with the transplanted brain of Luthor), as well as the development of a second Bizarro.

After Luthor subsequently contracts the Clone Plague and is close to death, Happersen activates a series of emergency demolition charges designed to destroy Metropolis in the advent that Luthor lost control. Luthor later recovers and kills Happersen for his hubris. It has since been revealed that Happersen cloned himself several times and remains a threat.
