The Adversary was an enemy of Superman.
History
Cary Richards was a wheelchair bound neighbor of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Lord Satanus manipulated him into creating the Adversary with his psychokinetic powers.[1]
The Adversary attacked a weakened Superman while he was attempting to find a missing Lois Lane.[2] Superman later fought the Adversary when he kidnapped Lex Luthor during the latter's announcement of his intention to run for president. He and Superman fought until the Adversary mysteriously disappeared.[3] The Adversary reappeared in Cary Richards' bedroom, taking him to Lord Satanus who revealed that the Adversary was a projection made from Cary's mind.[1] Having been taken to Satanus' realm, Cary escaped with Superman and Lois Lane.[4]
