[[Gamemnae]] told Rama Khan to disable the shields in anticipation of [[Lex Luthor]]'s arrival; she was countermanded by the [[Elder]] who said that for their protection, the shields would remain. When Lex arrived, he fell to Rama Khan's feet; Rama found amusement that a [[Luthor family|Luthor]] was bowing before him. He assured them that with the Kryptonite and the fact that he can track her if she uses her powers that he will deal with Supergirl; he, [[Sela]] and [[Tezumak]] then loaded the rings they had with radiation.
  +
[[File:Rama Khan and Tezumak.png|200px|thumb|Posed for battle]]
  +
There were two sightings of Supergirl, one on a rooftop and another in a park; Rama Khan and Tezumak went to the park. There, they found [[Nia Nal|Dreamer]] with [[J'onn J'onzz]] impersonating Supergirl. Since the true target was not there, after J'onn was hurt, they were allowed to retreat.
  +

When Supergirl did use her powers, she was in a warehouse, so the trio went to attack her and found her with Dreamer and Miss Martian; they succeeded in poisoning her with the kryptonite, but suddenly she returned to battle in a [[Anti-Kryptonite suit (Earth-Prime)|new suit]] that protected her. Supergirl then caused an explosion that disintegrated the ancient ones, but, proving they were immortal, Rama Khan and the others reconstituted themselves, causing the heroes to flee in terror.

—Rama Khan to Supergirl[src]

Biography

Thousands of years ago, after the destruction of Jarhanpur, Rama Khan came to Earth with other members of its species.

Rama Khan has been in charge of Earth for the last 2 million years, and claiming responsibility for the destruction of Pompeii.[1] He was also responsible for Antioch, the Yellow River flood, the Bhola Cyclone, and Noah's flood.[2]

This section is a stub. You can help expand this section by adding some information.

After many failures against Supergirl and her allies, Rama Khan lost his position as the guardian of Earth to Gamemnae.[1]

Anti-Monitor Crisis

During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Rama Khan as well as everyone in the multiverse except for the seven Paragons, was killed in an antimatter wave by the Anti-Monitor on December 10, 2019,[3] only to be restored a month later, after the Paragons and the Spectre created a new universe.[4]

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]

Destruction of the D.E.O. National City headquarters

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.

Rama Khan went to Portland and started an earthquake; Supergirl and Dreamer opted to oppose him while Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian went to stabilize the tectonic plates and to help the citizens. 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. Having what he wanted, he made a dramatic exit and destroyed the building.[6]
