What should have been a lethal dose of radiation transformed Raymond Jensen (or Rudy Jones, if we're talking modern iterations) into a vampiric creature which drains the lifeforce from anyone it comes into contact with.

But his ability to sap Superman's powers and memories is what makes him a formidable foe to Kal-El, one who would make a worthy adversary in a future film.
