[edit] Fictional character biography

Mongal is the sister of Mongul (son of the original), introduced by her brother to Superman in Superman #170. When Krypto nearly killed Mongul, Mongal escaped and reappeared to destroy New York City. After Maxima's death in the "Our Worlds at War" mini-series, Mongal was chosen as the ruler of her homeworld of Almerac, and was established as a galactic threat to Superman.

After a squabble with her brother in Green Lantern volume 4 #8 (March 2006), Mongul punched off her head, stating family to be a weakness.

Her desiccated body appears in Green Lantern Corps #20, as the target to Mongul's ramblings. Mongul, newly imbued with a Sinestro Corps ring, taunts her skull by saying he would be the one to carry on their father's legacy, then drops it from the sky.
