Dan Rivers of Earth-2
The fake fortune-teller who, as Swami Riva, accidentally discovers Kryptonite and its effects on the Superman of Earth-2.
Paroled from prison, Rivers retrieves a tiny piece of Kryptonite and sends it to Lois Kent as a brooch, hoping to publicly surprise the Man of Steel and unaware that the intrepid reporter is actually married to Superman. Assuming that Rivers has sent the brooch in order to kill Superman, Lois and Superman put on a "phoney act" resulting in the capture of Rivers and his gang. The newly imprisoned Rivers, however, confides the secret of Kryptonite to his cell-mate, Alexei Luthor (SF No. 202/2, Jul/Aug 1980: "The Man Who Discovered Kryptonite!").
