Mongul
Mongul is a comic book character that first appeared in DC Comics Presents #27
The cruel conqueror Mongul once roamed the cosmos aboard Warworld, a planet-sized engine of destruction. Invading countless worlds, Mongul enslaved entire populations.
Profile
Superman first met the warlord Mongul while in self-imposed exile from Earth. Wracked with doubt over his ability to uphold truth and justice, the Man of Steel wandered through outer space and into the clutches of interstellar slave traders. Sold into the warlord's challenge arena, Superman bested Mongul's champions without ever delivering a killing blow, a defiance that would pit the Man of Steel against the emperor of Warworld himself.
Warworld
Mongul's mechanized base was a weapon of mass destruction that roamed the cosmos, striking fear and terror with its awesome firepower. No army could stand against the might of Warworld. Entire planetary systems were left smoldering ruins as Mongul's snub fighters blitzed alien cities from the air, while giant battle tanks brutally crushed any lingering resistance beneath their spiked treads. Space Sector 151 was ravaged in a war against Mongul, leaving the Sector composed almost entirely of asteroids.
The Death of Mongul
The alien tyrant teamed with the Cyborg to devastate Coast City and transform Earth into a new Warworld. Mongul instead found defeat and incarceration. He was among scores of villains offered augmented powers by the demon Neron. When Mongul proudly refused, Neron sealed his fate. Though Mongul perished, his bloodline endured in two equally cruel children, a son who became a brief ally to the Man of Steel, and a daughter who still yearns to taste revenge in her father's memory.
Son of Mongul
Mongul's son (also named Mongul) went to Earth to get revenge for his father. He battled Hal Jordan and the Green Arrow but was interrupted by his sister, Mongal. They were sent back to their home planet of Debstam IV where Mongul killed his sister, citing family as a weakness.

Sinestro Corps
Mongul then comes across the injured Sinestro Soldier of Sector 2809 when the alien's ship crashes down on Debstam IV, located in Sector 2811. Mongul enters the wreckage and finds the fallen Sinestro Corps member. The injured man offers Mongul the power ring and Mongul breaks his neck, taking the ring anyway. Mongul's first act was to order his ring to inform him of all it's capablities. He then spent the next 96 hours learning all of the capabilities of his new weapon. After the ring is finished, Mongul asks it how many rings are currently seeking a bearer. After receiving the information, and the coordinates of said rings, he proceeds to berate his sister's skull before flying off to put his plan into motion.
Mongul next travels to Sector 226 and arrives at Clementia; the home planet of the Black Mercy plants. While taking time to remember his father, he sets about gathering some of the plants. He then heads off into space. Mongul sets about tracking down the rings that are seeking new bearers. As Duel Eknham is chosen by a ring, Mongul bursts into the hospital. He then proceeds to give the newest member of the Sinestro Corps the options of joining him, or relinquishing his ring in exchange for a Black Mercy. He has presumably encountered 5 other Sinestro's based on the fact he is now sporting 6 rings, and taking note of this fact Duel chooses to side with him. The two then proceed to slaughter the inhabitants of the hospital, sticking around long enough afterwards to ambush Sodam Yat and Arisia and take them hostage.
Black Mercy
Mongul returns to the planet of the Mercies, with Duel, Sodam, and Arisia. He then begins to use his rings to dig to the center of the planet. He then began using them to change the Black Mercies, so that instead of showing a person's greatest joy, they would show them their darkest fears. He was forced to expend energy blasting Duel when the former ignored him about touching the Green Lanterns. He then proceeded to launch his altered seeds into the atmosphere towards other waiting planets. Mongul then, leaving the Lanterns behind under the influence of his altered Black Mercies, left for another part of the planet to collect more seeds.While he was collecting seeds to further his plans, Mongul's attention was grabbed by his ring informing him in a change of the gravity of the planet. He almost wrote it off as feeding time for the Mercies, before he realized that it was localized to one area. Going to investigate he found not only more Lanterns, but Mother Mercy herself. He manages to ambush the Lanterns, blasting all of them with Mercies. Mongul then confronts Mother Mercy, angered by her "betrayal", he orders her to finish off the Lanterns. He then informs Duel he wants him to stay behind, causing yet another arguement. Tired of their squabling, he separates the two and leaves one behind, and brings the other with him. He then heads off into space to finish enacting his plan. He doesn't even make it out of the system before the Lanterns manage to confront him, having been set free by Mercy. He then proceeds to battle them to a standstill. Just as Mongul readies himself for another assault, he convulses. Bzzd bursts forth from his eye, having attacked him internally. The other Lanterns then proceed to blast him back into Mercies gravity well, who begins to feed him to her children.
Daxam
Mongul later manages to escape the grasp of Mother Mercy, though his arm has been severed in the process. He flies away from the planet. He doesn't stop until he runs into a private ship carrying Kered and Miri Riam, blasting through it's shield and boarding it. He then proceeds to raid the available rations, before blasting his way out of the ship and continuing on his journey, leaving the two occupants to die in space. Mongul's next stop was a pleasure planet, when the owner of the establishment protested to his plans to enjoy their services, Mongul wasted no time in killing him. He then spent the night enjoying the women's company, and good food. He then continued on, making his way to the planet Daxam, though his plans for the people are unknown.In other media
Mongul appears in the Justice League episode "War World" where he is voiced by Eric Roberts. He forcefully coerces Superman into fighting for him in Gladiator-style matches, providing entertainment for the masses. Ultimately, however, he is defeated, and consequently humiliated, in single-combat by Superman.
