'''Swami Riva''' An unscrupulous fortune-teller and swindler --in reality a onetime carnival sharpie whose real name is Dan Rivers --who, not realizing that the decorative jewel in his turban is actually [[Kryptonite]], comes to believe that he is the possessor of some extraordinary occult power that enables him to weaken and paralyze [[Superman]] merely by approaching him. Swami Riva --who, according to Superman No 61/3, is the first villain ever to employ Kryptonite, however unwittingly, as a weapon against Superman --is apprehended by Superman in November-December 1949, along with a gang of hijackers who have hired the evil swami to protect them from Superman ("Superman Returns to Krypton!").
