List of Ambush Bug-related published material
Early appearances
Before Ambush Bug received his own mini-series, he appeared in DC Comics Presents #52 and #59 as a villain, later becoming a hero in Supergirl #16. He discovered that Clark Kent is really Superman in Action Comics #560; revealed his origin in issue #563; and in issue #565, tried (and failed) to get Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman to appear in his mini-series. In DC Comics Presents #81 (his last pre-series appearance), he switches bodies with Superman for 48 hours.
