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 Maxima's 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 decapitated her with a punch, 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.
Mongal possesses superhuman strength and stamina.
