Massacre is a DC Comics super-villain who first appeared in Adventures of Superman #509.
He travels the galaxy hunting down prey. He fought Superman while looking for a worthy adversary. At first Superman had trouble fighting him. It was discovered later that he could read nerve impulses and counter the attack effectively. Superman however learned that Massacre had to see his opponent to read the impulses, also that Massacre could not read the nerve impulse of Superman using his heat vision. Massacre has since been defeated by Superman on several occasions.
Massacre was thought to be sentenced to death by the ruling of an Alien Tribunal which was also investigating Superman. Superman thought he saw him put to death by the survivors of the hundred thousand victims that meet their end by Massacre. However he later was seen serving Maxima and is believed to have perished in an attempt to save the world from Brainiac.
Massacre has the power to travel cosmic distances by converting himself into a form of enemy. He is somewhat naive; he thought simply appearing on Earth would be enough to bring Superman to him. He doesn't care to ask for directions and sometimes covers this humiliation by murdering the people who helped him out. During one of his misadventures on Earth, he attacked and threatened the fictional counter-part to the real-life Metropolis, Illinois. Both versions of the city dedicate themselves heavily to Superman.
