Intergang
Intergang is a fictional organized crime syndicate appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Armed with technology supplied by the villainous New Gods of the planet Apokolips, they consistently appear as enemies of Superman.
Intergang appears in the TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Supergirl, Superman & Lois, the animated series Superman: The Animated Series, Young Justice, and My Adventures with Superman, and the DC Extended Universe film Black Adam (2022).
Intergang first appeared in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133 (October 1970) and was created by Jack Kirby.<refCowsill, Alan; Irvine, Alex; Korte, Steve; Manning, Matt; Wiacek, Win; Wilson, Sven (2016). The DC Comics Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the DC Universe. DK Publishing. p. 154. ISBN 978-1-4654-5357-0.</ref> Members of Intergang were first shown in the first issue of Kirby's Forever People in 1971.
Intergang was founded in the 1920s by gangster Moxie Mannheim, who was later killed by rivals. It was then revived by Morgan Edge and run by Moxie's son Bruno Mannheim. Bruno receives orders and weaponry from Darkseid, who is using Intergang to help track down the Anti-Life Equation.
Morgan Edge, the head of the Galaxy Broadcasting System television network, initially appeared to have ties to Intergang. It was later revealed that this was not the real Morgan Edge, but a clone from the "Evil Factory". The original Edge would later escape with the help of Jimmy Olsen. During an ensuing battle with Intergang, the clone is killed. Following the clone's death, several other members of Intergang run Intergang in the real Edge's absence.
In post-Crisis continuity, Morgan Edge was the leader of Intergang until he suffered a heart attack due to stress. While he believed he was working for Darkseid, his Apokoliptian contact was actually DeSaad, whose only aim in supplying him with weaponry was to cause suffering. While he was in the hospital, Edge's legitimate businesses were taken over by his father Vincent Edge and Intergang was taken over by Bruno Mannheim. A later retcon established that Mannheim was the original leader of Intergang.
Eventually, Intergang was brought down by Clark Kent and Cat Grant, with Mannheim being arrested. Some time later, Mannheim's father Moxie Mannheim, a gangster who had been in prison since the 1940s after being captured by the Newsboy Legion, was released. Mannheim arranges for Dabney Donovan to transfer him into a younger cloned body and resurrect his lieutenants Ginny McCree, Mike Gunn, Noose, and Rough House in superpowered clone bodies.
Following a short-lived attempt by Morgan Edge to regain control, Lex Luthor gains control of Intergang, retaining Moxie as a figurehead. Mike Gunn is later sprung from prison by Ginny McCree, but is killed in a confrontation with the police. Following Gunn's death, McCree commits suicide. Moxie and his remaining lieutenants Noose and Rough House are captured by Superman. When last seen, Intergang was run by criminal cyberneticist Frank Sixty.
