| 2 | * CompleteMonster: [[MediaNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] Mongul I confirms his position as such in this story, with his brutal beatdown of Wonder Woman, psychological torture of Superman, and general attitude. See Monster.{{Superman}} for more details. |
| 3 | * MemeticMutation: The panel in which Mongul holds Superman and says "I give you oblivion" has been [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/988/919/8e5.jpg photoshopped]], so that [[VisualPun Mongul is holding a copy of]] ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion''. |
| 4 | * MyRealDaddy: For Mongul; most fans consider this story to be the reason he's more than a footnote in DC history. While he's never escaped the "second-rate Darkseid" label, this tends to be seen as either his best story, or his only good one, and it certainly gave him a gimmick to toy with. |
| 5 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: The original comic isn't anywhere near as explicitly political as, say, ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', but it still isn't difficult to interpret as a TakeThat against [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan-era America]] and its cheery NostalgiaFilter for the Good Ol' Days. The Krypton so straightforwardly portrayed as a science utopia in [[MediaNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks the Silver Age]] is extrapolated to be "really" a CrapsackWorld that ignores its social ills (particularly ethnic segregation and [[FateWorseThanDeath a cruel-and-unusual justice system]]) until they completely boil over, at which point it resorts to [[TheKlan reactionary militias]] as a solution. |
