- But I've rankled for years -- I felt part of the store still belonged to me -- And so I took what I considered mine...!

Sir Gauntlet was an enemy of Superman.
History
Years ago, Casper Smythe and Mr. Lacey were business partners who started a department store in Metropolis. When Lacey caught Casper stealing company funds, instead of filing charges, he allowed him to work at the Lacey Department store as a cashier.
Casper always held some contempt for Lacey after that, and years later he donned a suit of armor and began robbing Lacey's store regularly as "Sir Gauntlet", feeling that a part of the store was still his. Superman uncovers the scheme, stopping Casper from killing Mr. Lacey and putting him into the custody of police.
