The Parasite 

Rudy Jones was a janitor at S.T.A.R. Labs who had gotten mired in gambling problems. To clear his debt, Jones made a deal with a criminal to steal experimental chemicals from his workplace.  The theft went awry and the exotic chemicals were spilled, causing Rudy to become awash in the mutagenic substances. 

The chemicals had a strange and unexpected effect on Rudy.  It transformed him into a purple-skinned humanoid who could absorb the strength and energies from anyone whom he touched.  Doing so bestowed Rudy enhanced powers as well as the knowledge and memories of those whom he ‘fed’ off of.  The effects were temporary, his victims would eventually heal and the extra strength and power would wane from Rudy, leaving him desperately hungry for more.

Now known as 'the Parasite,' Rudy sought out stronger and more virile individuals to feed upon.  This quickly attracted the attention of Superman who made the mistake of trying to intercede.  Once the Parasite touched Superman, he was able to absorb the Man of Steel’s incredible Kryptonian powers (as well as his memories and knowledge of this secret identity).  Intoxicated by these powers, the Parasite planned on keeping Superman trapped so that he could regularly feed off of him and maintain his addiction.  

Young Jimmy Olson managed to free Superman who then tricked The Parasite into touching a piece of Kryptonite.  The Parasite had absorbed not only Superman’s powers, but also his weakness and touching the Kryptonite sent him into vegetative state where he had lost all memory.  

Somehow The Parasite managed to revive.  He aided Superman and the SCU in defusing a bomb in exchange for improved living conditions in his incarceration. The Parasite was later broken out by Live Wire and the two went on a crime spree. The pair were eventually taken down by Superman and Parasite next showed up as a member of Gorilla Grodd’s Secret Society of Super Villains.  He later joined the Legion of Doom and sadly perished when Darkseid destroyed the Legion’s headquarters.

Actors Brion James and Brian George each provided the voice for The Parasite with the villain initially appearing in the sixth episode of the first season of Superman: The Animated Series, ‘Feeding Time.’

Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.

Nightmare at Noon (Death Street USA, 1988)

"Just doesn't make any sense. Folks I've known all my life feuding with each other for no reason. Hospital filled with people bleeding green blood. Telephones and the radios don't work. And the damn cars breaking down at the city limits!"

"Think something's behind it?"
