Superman got into serious trouble with the Task Force X trying to bring him down and The General recruiting various villains to help him achieve that.

So, let’s see who he is and what he wants with Superman.
Mister Mxyzplk is a multiversal chaos god who enjoys messing with Superman on various Earths and universes.

He introduces Superman and the audience to the existence of the multiverse and various versions of Man of Steel. He is powerful and uses tricks to get what he wants.
This chaos god brought the show to another level, especially because now we know that Superman is not always the good guy in the multiverse and that anything could happen.

Mister Mxyzptlk introduced Clark to the existence of the Multiverse
Everything seemed to go well in Clark’s life after he confessed to Louis and Jimmy that he was Superman. He and Louis had their first date set up, and they were very excited about it. However, their date got postponed when Mister Mxyzptlk appeared and messed with their plans.
Mister Mxyzplik presented to Clark, saying he was an interdimensional peacekeeper and needed Superman’s help. Apparently, he was in charge of the safety of the multiverse. But that was a lie and just one of his tricks so he could get what he wanted.
Mister Mxyzptlk explained to Clark the existence of multiple Earths and how on most of them, Clark Kent is Superman. So, even though Clark tried to hide that he was Superman, it was pointless. In the meantime, League of Louis Lanes came seeking Louis and Clark though she was in danger. That’s why he decided to come with Mister Mxyzptlk. At the same time, the League of Louis Lanes informed Louis that Clark was in danger.
The League of Louis Lanes was part of an interdimensional peacekeeping force founded by Louis Prime, which discovered the multiverse. The organization recruited the best Louis Lanes and Jimmy Olsens from various dimensions to help their cause. The League revealed that Mister Mxytplk falsely presented to Clark and is a bad guy who calls himself the Chaos God.
The League of Louis Lanes managed to disarm Mister Mxytplk before and took the hat that gave him powers, but as they took him in, a portal that The Brain and Monsieur Mallah opened helped Mister Mxytplk escape to another universe. That’s when Mxytplk decided to scam Clark into helping him break into an Earth-1 superhero museum and steal Louis Prime’s recorder. After that, the Chaos God took Clark to Earth-14, and the League of Louis Lanes came after them.
The League used the kryptonite-loaded guns to neutralize Clark, and Mister Mxytplk used that opportunity to steal the League’s ship and flee. There was only one problem – Mxytplk wasn’t aware that Louis remained on the ship and that he was not alone.
Mister Mxytplk enjoys messing with Superman’s life
Louis had Mister Mxytplk at gunpoint, but when she realized that Mxytplk wanted to go to the League of Louis Lanes headquarters, she decided to also go there to find out what are the other Louis Lanes hiding from her about Superman. Mister Mxytplk used the hidden key inside Louis Prime’s recorder and took himself and Louis to headquarters.
And while Louis wanted to find out as much as she could about Superman, Mxytplk used his access to retrieve his hat that stored all his power. Once he gained his powers at full capacity, he became almost unstoppable. The League of Louis Lanes returned to headquarters alongside Superman and did their best to defeat Mister Mxytplk. The team effort succeeded, and the League of Louis Lanes captured Chaos God.
However, Mister Mxytplk escaped and visited Louis Lane. He enjoyed watching her realize that not every Superman is good and that there was a possibility that her Clark might also turn bad. Mister Mxytplk enjoys messing with Superman’s life and the people close to him in all character iterations. It is clear that is also the case in ‘My Adventures with Superman.’
Mister Mxytplk planted a seed of doubt inside Louis’s head, and it will be interesting to see what will happen next. Louis might start doubting Clark and his actions, which would mean that their relationship also might suffer. And that is something Chaos God would enjoy very much.
