[edit] Biography

Rama Khan appeared as earlier than 1,004 BC, with no information of his exact birth date. In the land of Atlantis, he became the joint ruler of Atlantis, sharing the post with Gamemnae. Khan had earlier journeyed to Atlantis from the faraway land of Jarhanpur to assemble a group of heroes to protect the realm.

Later on, in the 21st century, Rama Khan reappeared in Jarhanpur as its elemental defender. When he kidnapped a boy and separated him from his mother because the child was his spiritual successor, Khan found himself in confilct with the Justice League. He broke Wonder Woman's lasso of truth, resulting in reality unravelling as the nature of existence began to be defined by belief rather than truth; the Earth was the centre of the universe for two weeks before anybody noticed, it became flat for a few hours, and the Moon was even made of cheese at one point. Resolved to stop this before the world became defined by the beliefs of every individual person on the planet, the League confronted Rama Khan once again, during which Wonder Woman accepted why the Lasso had broken; when she'd confirmed that Rama Khan was telling the truth about the need for a successor to his position, her denial of this truth had caused the lasso to break and cause a subsequent breakdown of the rules of truth. With this self-discovery, reality was restored and the damage undone.

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Rama Khan's abilities are largely based on his birthplace, Jarhanpur. With the aid of magic, Rama Khan can turn a handful of its soil into fire, granite, or wine. Khan is also super strong, immortal, and is a great magician.
