Kid Warlock is an old enemy of Superman, dating back to his earliest adventures in Smallville.

Origins

Kid Warlock first fought Superman, then known as Superboy, when they were both teenagers; and was one of the first to discover the Boy of Steel's weakness to magic.[1]

Absolute Power

Decades later, Kid Warlock was one of the many magic users who took refuge in the Oblivion Bar during Absolute Power. The depowered Superman and Zatanna came to the bar seeking a way into the Dark Roads. Superman chastised the assembled mages as cowards for hiding rather than using their powers to stop Amanda Waller, and Kid Warlock tried to throw him out of the bar, excited to finally get a rematch. Superman punched Kid Warlock in the throat to prevent him casting spells, then easily judo-threw him across the room, despite Warlock having worked to become huge and overmuscled.[1]
