Mongul

Son of Mongul

He came to reside on Debstam IV in Space Sector 2811 when the planet was visited by a wounded member of the Sinestro Corps. After finding the ring wielder, he killed him whereupon his Power Ring selected Mongul II as a new member of the Corps. (Green Lantern Corps v1 #19)

Post-Flashpoint

Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different series of events.

He claimed to come from a long line of martial warriors where he was the eldest child of his parents and had a younger brother in gestation. Mongul felt threatened by the existence of a sibling with this going at odds with his instinct as a conqueror. This led to him murdering his kin whilst in the gestation tank where afterwards his parents attempted to enforce their control over their son. He was said to had gone to counselling and numerous measures were made but these did not change Mongul who by adulthood then murdered his parents. Afterwards, he proceeded to wage war on his world leaving it devastated with Mongul journeying into space to create a new empire that was ruled through conquest where he eventually came to rule the Warworld. (Green Lantern v5 #23.2)

At some point, he had a son named Jochi who was taught in the warrior like culture of his father. (Superman/Batman Annual v1 #1)

After Mongul's defeat, the tyrant was trapped within the Phantom Zone within the Fortress of Solitude. In this time, his son took over Warworld where he sought to challenge the warriors that had defeated his father and invited them to the mobile planetoid. At this point, a disagreement in the Council of Lords let to a challenge for leadership in a succession tournament. Batman and Superman along with their respective allies had arrived where they participated in the tournament with Jochi inducted into the Batman Clan. They fought against contenders and one another as the judges of the tournament had aimed Warworld's weapons at Earth. This was until Batgirl and Steel disabled the weapon whereupon the heroes with Jochi battled the Council. Warworld was damaged and fell towards the Arctic where the Fortress automatically triggered the Phantom Zone Projector sending the entire planetoid into that dimension. Batman and Superman with their allies escaped but Jochi decided to stay on Warworld. The ruined planetoid was destroyed and its remains littered the Phantom Zone where Mongul found his son and killed him for his failure. (Superman/Batman Annual v1 #1)

The Eradicator later freed Mongul from the Black Mercy where he was taken to join Hank Henshaw's Superman Revenge Squad. (Action Comics v1 #979)
