Who's Who in the Superman Comics

Cleric

(Deceased) - A long-lived alien missionary. Long ago, during Krypton's Fifth Age the Cleric went to Krypton and preached to the kryptonians against their cloning practices. To combat his efforts, Krypton's Science Council had Kem-L invent a device (the Eradicator) to neutralize the Cleric. The Cleric managed to escape Krypton taking with him the Eradicator and a group of followers. These followers died, however, because of the Eradicator's influence. Years later, while held prisoner by Mongul at Warworld, Superman encountered the Cleric. The Cleric told his story to Superman and returned the Eradicator to Superman before dying, after a life of over 200,000 years.
