Fool, I am no simple island priest. I am Baron Sunday -- and I wield the true magic. A man of my power need fear no one... not Superman... and certainly not you.

Baron Sunday was a Metropolis crimelord who killed people using voodoo.
History
He fought Superman, and took him down at least once with a voodoo attack while he was already in a weakened state from another fight. His mysterious murders were the subject of a great deal of investigation from the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit. He was eventually defeated by Superman disguised as Gangbuster.[1]
While in jail he regained his powers and used them to slow down the heartbeat of six prisoners at Stryker's Island Penitentiary, giving the impressions that they were dead, once they were transported to the morgue, he used his voodoo powers to resuscitate them to help Sunday escape from prison, but they were stopped by Superman.
The encounter left Sunday in a catatonic state.[2]

Notes
- His career as a serial killer was a subplot throughout many Superman Titles under the writings of John Byrne, although he wasn't actually revealed for most of it, and only made his presence known when he directly attacked Superman for the first time.
