Back to Villains Main > Parasite

Real Identity: Rudy Jones
Powers/Skills: Power Theft
Voiced By: Not Applicable

Rudy Jones was once a lowly janitor at the Metropolis-based S.T.A.R. Labs. Jones was disrespected and belittled all of his life and secretly carried a grufge against those with power. Jones tried to smuggle industrial waste out of S.T.A.R. to sell. He was exposed to the waste and was transformed by it, which turned out to be an isotope. It catalyses energy absorption in human cells.

Jones was mutated into a monstrosity and soon discovered that he had to regularly drain the life force of another living being in order to survive like a Parasite. Contact with the Parasite will leave a victim weakened and prolonged contact would surely lead to death. When he drains his prey, Parasite not only takes on that person's energy, but their knowledge, memories, and any skills or powers they might have. He became obsessed with absorbing Superman's powers and tried to kidnap him for years to use him as an everlasting battery.

Parasite joined the battle to capture Superman for a $1 Billion bounty. He most likely planned on kidnapping him at the last second once he copied Superman's powers. However, a shockwave generated by Captain Atom knocked all of the villains unconscious.
