Mongul (Post-Crisis)

The World Conqueror

**Editorial Names**

**Given Titles**

 *{{{1}}}*

The conquering and villainous **Mongul** is known across the galaxy as a vile cancer that takes worlds and champions under his rule. Born on the planet of Morsin and later, a product of experimentation, Mongul is a powerful and dangerous threat to the universe. He began his conquest after taking over his home planet and converting it into his moving planet Warworld. While he has conquered several worlds in his time, the one that has intrigued him the most is Earth as it holds champions of superhuman abilities and would strengthen his already massive army.

Mongul would find the Fatherbox in Apokolips remnants and use it to control New Mandix. He would do this with General Kessis, a disgraced Mandixian. However, his plan to use New Mandix as a launching pad to control the Milky Way Galaxy was thwarted by the combined efforts of The Legion and The Outsiders from the past. In a last ditch effort, Mongul would attempt to utilize the Fatherbox to destroy reality. However, this plan failed at the hands of Batman and Static.

Recently, Mongul was imprisoned in the Lunar Prison on the Moon. However, after he learned that The Outsiders were from the past, he began to plan a trip to the past in order to conquer everything with the hopes of ending The Legion before they even began.

## **Attributes**

### **Powers**

**Unstable Experimentation**: Morsinians have no superhuman abilities. They exist like humans, but with a longer lifespan. However, Mongul was selected to be involved in unstable experimentation that led to his madness and later, villainy. Experimentation gave him heightened abilities but at the cost of his mind, leading him to become a conqueror and villain of all galaxies. His abilities make him extremely and exceedingly dangerous, requiring the combined efforts of both The Legion and a time-traveled Outsiders to defeat him.

* **Superhuman Physiology**: Mongul is wildly powerful, more powerful than most individuals in the universe. His strength is comparable to that of Daxamites and Mandixians. Batman even theorized that Mongul would be as strong as Superwoman in their time, given that she would be fully charged by the sun. His durability is heightened too, as he has shown he can take hits from one of Static's strongest ectoplasmic blasts. He has also survived the full blast of an electrical explosion from Lightning Lad that Brainiac has stated to have the equivalent amount of force to an atomic bomb. His speed, agility, and reflexes are equally heightened to the point of being faster than most of The Legion. He caught Static by the throat and caught a batarang thrown at him from behind.

* **Heat Vision**: Mongul has shown to release high-level heat in the form of blasts from his eyes in a single direction. He can control the amount of heat he releases and does it in such a fashion that his heat vision changes colors from red to white. This is the hottest his heat vision can burn. Mongul has shown a lot of skill in this regard, fine-tuning his heat vision down to a microscope level as he melted off Colossal Boy's Legionnaire Ring to stop him from calling for help. He also burned Batman's chest across the bat logo with a small incision.

* **Telepathic Resistance**: Mongul is resistant to telepaths, as shown when he removed Saturn Girl from his mind by sheer force of will. However, the problem with this is that he must concentrate for it to be effective, otherwise his mind is open to intrusion. This led to his downfall. Batman, Static, and Saturn Girl used this weakness to their advantage as they distracted him long enough for Saturn Girl to give him a stroke.

### **Abilities**

* **Cosmic Fighter**: As Mongul has traveled the galaxy, he has been trained in several styles of fighting from various worlds and even took part in his own contest on Warworld where he won single-handedly against people who were desperately fighting for their freedom. His combat prowess surpassed even that of Karate Kid of The Legion who has been stated to be Earth's greatest fighter. He also defeated Black Canary and nearly defeated Batman in hand-to-hand combat but not before Static intervened. His combat prowess is unnatural and Batman has even began to study footage of their fight with him to improve himself for their inevitable rematch.
