Ra's Al Ghul has lived since the Middle Ages by immersing himself in a chemical pool called the Lazarus Pit, which replenishes and heals those who bath in it. Al Ghul led a large criminal organization and had ambitions to remake the world into his own vision of a Utopia which he would rule, but his plans were continuously upset by the 20th century hero, Batman. However, he did provide a worthy adversary for both the Batman and the Justice League despite the lack of post-human abilities, relying on his extremely cunning intelligence.
Al Ghul has resurfaced in the 31st century and has been impersonating the President of the United Planets, Leland McCauley, manipulating both the UP and M'Onel with the aid of his mysterious Chief of Staff, Venge, and the Oversight Watch. His full plans are, as yet, unknown but he has definite plans for both Earth and the moon. |
