Who is Lord Satanis?

Lord Satanis is a powerful sorcerer and villain from DC Comics who clashed with Superman. A dark, mystical adversary, he wields formidable magical abilities that brought him into conflict with the Man of Steel and earned him an entry in DC's official Who's Who reference.

Born from the Bronze Age imagination of Paul Kupperberg and Curt Swan, Lord Satanis made his sinister entrance in Action Comics #537 in 1982, plunging straight into the world of Superman and keeping rarefied company β€” sharing pages with the Man of Steel himself, Lois Lane, Perry White, and even The Flash. Ominous enough to earn a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, DC's own hall of immortals, this dark figure cast a long enough shadow to resurface across three decades, from the Bronze Age all the way to 2013. He may be a rarity in the catalog, but any villain who runs alongside Syrene and commands that kind of company is well worth seeking out.
