Rama Khan illustrations
In the new multiverse, Rama Khan always works for Leviathan,[5] but was never seen on Earth-Prime in the present day. There were artist depictions of him,but when he, or Leviathan, is researched too deeply, the investigator is usually discouraged from continuing.[6]

Years ago, Rama Khan lost a group of rings[6] which somehow were in the Fortress of Solitude until Lex Luthor stole them.[7] As Rama Khan played solitaire in the mothership headquarters, Gamemnae presented him with his rings; since they were his, he knew exactly how to use them to kill Supergirl.

During the battle, Supergirl noticed that he was weaker without his staff. Upon his defeat, agents from the D.E.O. arrived to take him into custody.
At D.E.O. National City headquarters, Director Querl Dox talked to Rama Khan in the native language of Jarhanpur, much to his surprise, as Supergirl and Dreamer watched through a two-way mirror. Threatening to imprison Rama Khan indefinitely, Brainy wanted access to the mothership of the Jarhanpurians; Rama Khan laughed, as he was where he wanted to be. As Brainy realized that it was a trap and that Rama Khan feigned defeat, Supergirl broke through the mirror to challenge her foe. During the battle, the Martians came to help; Miss Martian acted as a distraction while Brainy evacuated the building. Meanwhile, Rama Khan summoned all of the Kryptonite in the building to himself.
