Mister Mxyzptlk was a Fifth Dimensional imp who annoyed the Super Friends.

Mister Mxyzptlk first annoyed the Super Friends when he was trying to make a movie featuring the team called "The Rise and Fall of the Superfriends". Though his constant target is Superman, he does not discriminate when it comes to including the Super Friends as the butt of his practical (and nearly dangerous) jokes. He does get irritated when the Super Friends get the better of him by getting him to say his name backwards, undoing all the damage his magical tricks have caused, vowing that he will get the better of the Super Friends someday when he returns.
