    An Ultimate Ultimatum

    Characteristics

    Khan's Energy Form
    Khan's Energy Form

    A gaseous energy being, Manga Khan is unable to physically interact with anything. To this end, he wears a robotic suit which makes him nearly impervious to damage. To aid him in his business dealings, he has created a number of robotic servants, including Hein-9, K-Dikk, and most notably, L-Ron.

    Khan has a penchant for melodrama, often breaking into verbose, long winded soliloquies. He has even started a school to teach others how to speak as he does. Graduates include the Scarlet Skier and Mr. Nebula.
