Who is Saviour?

Origin Ramsey Murdoch suffered from increasingly severe headaches which eventually led to auditory hallucinations and delusions. Murdoch came to believe that God wanted him to punish all deceivers. This led him to the conclusion that he ultimately needed to destroy Superman , who he believed was an impostor, and that the real Superman was killed by Doomsday . His belief was reinforced when Brainiac created an illusion of Superman lying dead. Early History Braniac's mental attacks on Superman caused erratic behavior that further confirmed Saviour's doubts about Superman's authenticity. In his crusade Murdoch will not hesitate to resort to murder, and among his earliest victims were a young woman named Sylvia Feltman and U.S. Senator Charlie Fulton. When he sent a note to the Daily Planet stating, "Death to all deceivers is at hand! Vengeance is Mine!! Saviour", Lois Lane began an investigation.
