Ugly Mannheim is the current leader of Intergang and son of its past leader, Moxie Mannheim. Despite his signature ugly looks, Mannheim is one of Metropolis' most powerful gangsters. At some point, he allied with DeSaad, of Apokolips, and was outfitted with advanced technology from Apokolips and New Genesis. On October 23rd, Mannheim took part in an attempted robbery of the Metropolis Federal Reserve's cache of gold bullion. He fled the scene when Superboy, Wolf, and the Forever People gained the upper hand. At Intergang's weapon cache, DeSaad prompted Mannheim to throw a Father Box at the Forever People as they merged with the Source to become Infinity-Man. Now under the influence of the enemy, Infinity-Man attempted to kill Superboy and Wolf. Once the Super-Cycle took control of Infinity-Man, Superboy took the helm and disarmed Intergang. Mannheim was blasted in mid-air then tossed atop his underlings.

Over five years later, Mannheim came out of hiding and surfaced in Washington, D.C. with one of his top lieutenants, Whisper A'Daire. Mannheim used an Apokoliptian device to take control of Appellaxian Host Bodies on display in the Hall of Justice and combined them into a Golem. Mannheim plotted to use the Golem as his enforcer and expand Intergang. However, after control of the Golem was lost and Mannheim was stapled to a tree by Blue Beetle, Sportsmaster was dispatched by Partner to deal with them. The Team returned to find Mannheim and A'Daire alive but non-responsive. They were meant as a warning to those who tried to stray from the Light.
