Recent Superman media has established that Mr. Mxyzptlk is always the same interdimensional imp every time we see him. But, is that truly the case? Or are things all Mx'd up?

I do want to humor the idea that every instance of him seemingly being contradictory is just him making shit up, trying something new, seems within his abilities
-
He had to make himself super sexy to get through the CW barrier.
-
Every time someone does fan art of Mxyzptlk, it’s actually him.
-
I just like the comic where Calendar Man gets Mxy's powers and starts seeing things fifth dimensionally and that all of reality is organized into little boxes.
-
“No matter what reality he calls home, THAT’S HIM!”

To whoever edited this one, I want you to know for certain that the "that's him" bit killed me every time. 10/10.
-
Mr. Myxzptlk never appeared in the New 52 continuity. He appears in Rebirth complaining about this. He's the very reason the souls of the New 52 Superman & Lois fuse with their post-crisis counterparts.
-
The voice for Mxyzptlk that reads the comic dialogue in the video is really spot on.
-
My answer. He’s not the same guy. He’s actually three guys, and we’re all just waiting for Paul Dini’s “Three Mxies”
-
Mr. Mxyzptlk in other media: a weird looking leprechaun that’s usually bald Mr. Mxyzptlk in My Adventures With Superman: adorable twink genie with cat-like expressions
-
I remember a Silver Age book where Superman goes to the Fifth Dimension, and harasses Myxy for awhile. He keeps messing up Myxy's attempts to make him say "Namrepus," until the end when Myxy succeeds and... nothing happens. At the end, Superman says he'll go back on his own and whispers something, dissappearing. Back in HIS world. He muses that Myxy never realized that his name ISN'T "Superman," but "Kal-El," so he had to say "Lelak!"
-
Obviously the voice I think of for Mxy is Gilbert Gottfried and ya know what props to Timothy Banfield for a pretty stellar Gottfried/Mxy impression. Now I've gotta go find that McGurk!
-
I found funny how in World's Funniest every Superman Mxy and Bat-Mite met already knew who Mxy was but none of the Batman knew who Bat-Mite was except for the Silver Age version. Tells a lot about how different Batman is from Superman.
-
Who’s to say that Mr. Mxyzptlk hasn’t just made up some of the rules to keep things interesting? Like, someone might add some additional rules to a game they play if they get bored of playing it normally.

"Where were you when they were handing out the vowels? Behind the door?" - Nanny Ogg, Wyrd Sisters
-
The idea that the SUPERFRIENDS version murdering the tribunal is hilarious.
-
I like the idea that Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow is the definitive ending for Mxyzptlk since in that story, he references how he was a trickster for two thousand years and now he’s moving on to being pure evil, which to me makes sense only taking place after every other version of Mxy. Maybe the My Adventures with Superman version is one that’s nearing the end of the Mxy timeline as he’s starting to pivot from being a trickster to being evil
