    Short summary describing this character.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    Baron Ruthven is also alluded to as Dr. Ruthven or just Ruthven. He has many of the traditional powers associated with Vampires such as phasing in a mist form, hypnotism, and vampirism. In addition to this, he wears a black bat-like suit with bat wings and a helmet. He basically looks like the Max Schreck or Klaus KInski version of Dracula called Count Orlock. His legs appear to be goat-like.

    Because of his nature being based in magic he was able to bring Superman down to the point of nearly converting him into a vampire. Were it not for a timely intervention on the part of the demonic Blaze, Superman would have fallen.

    Blaze called forth a bright sun-like light which distracted Ruthven long enough for Superman to regain the upper hand. Ruthven was impaled upon the sword point of a statue.
