*"Don't worry, Flag, I got the bird!"*
―Mongal[src]
**Mongal** was an alien warrior from the planet Warworld that was made part of the initial Task Force X strike team sent to Corto Maltese. Upon reaching the island, Mongal accompanied her allies to confront Corto Maltese's soldiers, where she tried to attack a helicopter, but died in the process, accidentally killing Captain Boomerang as well.

## Biography

### Early life

Mongal was born as the daughter of Mongul the Elder, originated on the planet of Warworld, Mongal eventually became a warrior and traveled to Earth. After arriving on Earth, Mongal at some point committed multiple crimes against humanity such as mass murder and destruction of property, what led to her being incarcerated in Belle Reve prison.

### Mission in Corto Maltese

#### Recruitment

In August 2020, Mongal accepted the proposal to become a member of Task Force X in exchange for reducing 10 years of her prison sentence. She was assigned on the first strike team of a mission to Corto Maltese to destroy the prison and laboratory known as Jotunheim, formerly used by the Nazi Party, as well as wiping out everything to do with the dangerous Project Starfish.

Once the day arrived, a nano-bomb was placed in Mongal so that he would not escape and her weapons were returned. She was then sent to go to the helicopter by the guards in a van, where she and her companions waited for Savant's arrival. After Colonel Flag arrived with Savant, Mongal and the rest of the team made their way to the Sheba helicopter, where they finally traveled to Corto Maltese. During the trip, Mongal was quiet and annoyed by the conversations Harley Quinn and Javelin shared.

#### Battle on the Corto Maltese Beach

Upon arrival, Rick Flag gave the order to jump into the water and swim to the shores of Corto Maltese, Mongal along with her companions then complied with the order by locating in their position on the shores, where Mongal was located hidden in a stone along with Harley Quinn, while she was completely silent for most of the mission. After Blackguard's betrayal, and the battle that followed with the Corto Maltese Armed Forces, Mongal watched as Harley threw a bazooka at the soldiers and then tried to protect herself on the stone and using her twin blades.

When Rick Flag was frustrated to see that the military was defeating them after T.D.K.'s failure to defend, she attempted to take down an enemy helicopter, even though desperately told not to by Rick Flag. The helicopter began to rotate with great speed scaring Mongal who could not control it. Finally the vehicle started to crash when entangled with trees near the jungle, killing some soldiers on the way.

### Death

When it crashed on the ground, the helicopter exploded, killing Captain Boomerang as it approached him, and Mongal herself, dying from being burned alive while screaming for help and trying to escape the fire. Savant watched as Mongal along with his other companions died in battle, scaring him and motivating him to try to desert the mission.

## Personality

Mongal was tough, resilient, and aggressive, more than able to hold her own in a fight. However, she was very stubborn and instinctual, diving headfirst into a fight without thinking of the consequences, which ultimately got her and Captain Boomerang killed. She also seemed somewhat introverted, not conversing with any Squad members until in the heat of battle. And also slightly humorous, looking amused when Blackguard expressed his concern of being sat next to Weasel.
