- Complete Monster: 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.
- Memetic Mutation: The panel in which Mongul holds Superman and says "I give you oblivion" has been photoshopped
◊, so that Mongul is holding a copy of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. - My Real Daddy: 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.
- What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: The original comic isn't anywhere near as explicitly political as, say, Watchmen, but it still isn't difficult to interpret as a Take That! against Reagan-era America and its cheery Nostalgia Filter for the Good Ol' Days. The Krypton so straightforwardly portrayed as a science utopia in the Silver Age is extrapolated to be "really" a Crapsack World that ignores its social ills (particularly ethnic segregation and a cruel-and-unusual justice system) until they completely boil over, at which point it resorts to reactionary militias as a solution.
