Superman giving Joe Meach, the newly hired janitor of the Superman Museum, the grand tour, in World's Finest (vol. 1) #142 (June, 1964). Unfortunately for Superman, and later Batman, Meach would become resentful of the hero.
While working late one night at the museum, a bolt of lightning struck the Legion statuettes whilst Meach was working nearby. These were not your average statuettes that you get at the local comic book store. Instead, they were miniature lifeless clones of the Legionnaires that had their powers.
The lightning strike caused an energy blast that emanated from the statuettes and struck Meach. The energy imbued him with the powers of all the Legionnaires. Realizing this was his opportunity to get back at Superman, Meach used his newly acquired Chameleon Boy powers to turn him into a green-skinned amalgamation of Superman and Batman - the Composite Superman!
To say that the Composite Superman was a ridiculously overpowered villain would be a huge understatement. He could use all the Legionnaires' powers simultaneously, so in super-strength alone he was three times stronger than Superman (he had the combined strength of Supergirl, Mon-El, and Ultra Boy). He could use Element Lad's powers to create kryptonite to keep Superman at bay. And he had Saturn Girl's telepathy, so he always knew what Superman and Batman were planning.
And perhaps worst of all, he could use Triplicate Girl's power to become three Composite Supermen, and really give the heroes grief!
Composite Superman never seemed bent on world conquest, which would've been a snap for him, just the utter humiliation of Superman and Batman. And in this he succeeded in spades!
There was nothing the heroes could do to stop Composite Superman. The only thing that kept him from a complete victory is that the energy charge that gave him his powers faded away, erasing most of his memory of his villainous career as well.
But if it hadn't faded? Well, let's just say the DC Universe would have been a lot different!

They could've come up with an alternate costume at any point after his first appearance, but I think the eyesoreness of it all became part of the It Factor in bringing him back on occasion.
Did he ever fight the Legion since he had all of their powers?
... ... ...can't believe fucking Tumblr has put me in a position where I'm about to look up the fucking Composite Superman and see if he fought the Legion and how he got his powers? Sigh. :)

Could you draw a hexafusion between Bizarro, Composite Superman, and Ultraman?
This one was a bit difficult for me, I was going to ask for refence, but realized it was an anon request so I did the best I could. I did composite Superman mixed with Bizarro, doing an Ultraman pose and I incorporated a mix of different Ultramen color palettes.
