Lord Helspont

Helspont is a powerful Daemonite and an accomplished conqueror. In service to the Daemonite empire he subjugated entire star systems and became a legend. His success and abilities created enemies out of his own people though, and out of fear of what he could do, he was imprisoned and exiled. His prison was the Eye, which would eventually become the headquarters of the clandestine planetary defense team Stormwatch. When Harry Tanner set off a massive explosion that ripped the Eye apart, the portion of the structure containing Helspont's cell crashed down to Earth, landing in the Himalayas. It was there that Helspont, now freed, established a new base, and it was there that he had his first confrontation with Superman.
