Mongul (DCAU)
From Pop-Cult Guides
In the animated series Justice League, Mongul is the ruler of War World and sends Superman to the gladiator pits of his domain. However, he is defeated and disappears until Justice League Unlimited.
In the Justice League Unlimited adaptation of the story "For the Man Who Has Everything", Mongul (Eric Roberts) tricked Superman by sending him an alien parasite disguised as a birthday present. The parasite trapped Superman in a coma, while making him live an imaginary life in his mind, a life in which Krypton had never exploded and he had grown to adulthood there. With help from Batman and Wonder Woman (who had also come to give him birthday presents), Superman escaped the trance, in part with his fantasy world subconsciously and gradually subverted into a nightmare of social chaos and trapped Mongul with his own parasite. This story was based on the 1985 Superman Annual by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
