The Puzzler was a Superman villain.
History
Superman showed a recording of his encounter with the Puzzler to Jimmy Olsen and his fan club. He explained how the Puzzler tried to escape across a freshly paved highway. However, the wet cement slowed him down. He tried throwing razor-edged playing cards at Superman, but they had no effect. He was captured and sentenced to time in state prison.[1]
After Superman faced off against the Master of Games, he displayed a wax figure of the Puzzler in the Fortress of Solitude next to a figure of the Toyman.[2]

Notes
- The Puzzler was created by Jerry Siegel and John Sikela, first appearing in Action Comics #49. However, the Earth-One version of The Puzzler first appeared in World's Finest #173 by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan.
- This version of the Puzzler, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
