Floyd Fowler

An unscrupulous, opportunistic individual who, having established that Clark Kent is Superman by comparing Kent’s fingerprints with those of the infant Superman found embedded in a fragment of the rocket ship that first brought him to Earth from Krypton, successfully blackmails Superman into making him a millionaire by threatening to expose the secret of his dual identity. When Fowler reneges on his part of the bargain, however, by refusing to relinquish possession of the incriminating rocket fragment, Superman retaliates by depriving Fowler of his newly acquired wealth and then alters the fingerprint evidence with his X-ray vision to make it appear that Fowler has erred in identifying Clark Kent with Superman (S No. 100/3, Sep 1955: “The Clue from Krypton”) (TGSB).
