Biography
Gzptlsnz first appeared in the comic book series Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen as a female imp from the same fifth-dimensional plane as Mister Mxyzptlk.[1] Mxyzptlk referred to her as his girlfriend, though Gzptlsnz developed a crush on Jimmy Olsen. She reappeared in JLA #31 (July 1999) as the leader of a council of imps passing judgement on Qwsp.
Gsptlsnz is later seen in Countdown to Final Crisis when Mxyzptlk is pulled through a portal by Monarch, and again when Mxyzptlk escapes.[2][3]
In 2011, "The New 52" rebooted the DC universe. In the first issue of the relaunched Action Comics, an elderly character named Mrs. Nyxly was introduced as Clark Kent's landlady.[4] She is aware of Clark's secret identity as Superman.[5] Nyxly is later revealed to be a princess from the fifth dimension. Her real name is Nyxlygsptlnz, also referred to as Ms. Gspltlnz, and she is the wife of Mr. Mxyzptlk and daughter of King Brpxz.[6][7]
