Who's Who in the Superman Comics

Preus

Preus was a sergeant in Kandor when Superman was briefly imprisoned inside the bottle city by the Empireth Lyla. When Superman "murdered" a little boy by accident, (an illusion that didn't happen), Preus went insane with a desire to have vengeance. He chased Superman into the real world and somehow managed to survive outside of the bottle city.

He is distinctive in that he has a Superman shield on his uniform with a knife wound through it, and his heat vision is black as a result of his strange origins. He wants racial purity, and he is cruel to the point of raping women to shreds.

He haunted Metropolis with a pseudo religious cult for a time, and even did harsh battle with Superman until realizing that he was needed elsewhere, and he took off right as the battle with Doomsday and Gog hit full steam. His current whereabouts are unknown.

First Appearance: SUP #202 (April 2004)
