Rama Khan was the former leader of Leviathan, a secret organization founded by the Anointed One after their ship crashed to Earth.
History
Origins
After their planet Jarhanpur, was destroyed after years of civil wars, five Jarhanpurians escaped to Earth; Rama Khan, the Anointed One, Gamemnae, Tezumak, and Sela. Over time, they formed the organization Leaviathan and recruited Margot Morrison and an unnamed old man. Each Jarhanpurian has a unique power; Rama Khan is geokinetic. Rama Khan was also responsible for several extinction level events throughout history. like; the Noah's flood, the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii, 79 A.D., the fall of Antioch in 1233, the 1887 Yellow River flood, and the 1970 Bhola Cyclone.[1][2][3][4]
Against Supergirl
In 2019, Rama Khan and Margot Morrison tried to get the Medallion of Acrata back from Lena Luthor, but they failed. He later invaded the Fortress of Solitude after the Medallion, but he was defeated by Supergirl and Lena. The planets were coming into alignment for the first time in nearly 2,000 years, since the Pompeii catastrophe, so Rama Khan and Gamemnae decided that they should remake the event and activate a volcano in National City, 10,000 times more powerful than Pompeii. Rama Khan used the Staff of the Shadow World and Acrata to activate the volcano, but he was stopped by Supergirl and Martian Manhunter. Khan then lost his title of "Guardian of Earth" to Gamemnae.[2][3]
A New Earth
After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Rama Khan's history was slightly changed, along with the entire multiverse. All the Jarhanpurians retain knowledge of the original universe. Gamemnae then frees Rama Khan to kill Supergirl. With the Staff of the Shadow World, Khan goes to Portland and starts an earthquake. Supergirl and her team manage to track him down and trap him in the D.E.O., but this was his plan all along. He managed to break free and grab his staff, stealing a piece of Kryptonite and destroying the D.E.O..[4][5]
In order to prevent Supergirl from stopping their plans, Gamemnae and Lex Luthor made Rama Khan summon Tezumak and Sela to their headquarters. The Jarhanpurians charged their rings with Green Kryptonite to prepare themselves to fight the heroine. Rama Khan and Tezumak came to National City where they found Dreamer and Supergirl who revealed himself to be Martian Manhunter in disguise. The Martian was wounded in the battle, forcing him and Dreamer to escape. Later, Rama Khan and the other Jarhanpurians tracked her to a warehouse where they assaulted her with the Kryptonite rings. Miss Martian and Dreamer also came to the battlefield, distracting Khan and the others enough to allow Supergirl to wear a new suit to battle the villains.
After an explosion disintegrated the Jarhanpurians, including Khan, he managed to resurrect himself. However, he was suddenly summoned back to the Leviathan's headquarters where Lex Luthor made Brianiac-5 bottle him and the other Leviathan members. Eventually, Luthor used the bottle to inject himself with their energies, gaining their abilities and causing Khan's death.[1][6]
