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 Systemtelevision 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.
Post-Crisis
Vincent Edge as seen in The Adventures of Superman #500.
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.
52
In the series 52, Intergang members Noose and Rough House visit Kahndaq and offer Adrianna Tomaz as tribute to Black Adam in exchange for safe passage for their group's smuggling activity. Both of them are killed by Adam. Later in the series, Question tells Renee Montoya that Intergang is preparing to attack Gotham City. Montoya and the Question investigate and learn that Intergang has been reorganized as a semi-religious group that venerates Cain as a heroic figure for committing the first murder. Bruno Mannheim is revealed to be the current head of Intergang as well as a cannibal who kills and eats those who refuse to join the group.
The New 52
In 2011, The New 52 rebooted the DC universe. Gotham City has fallen to Intergang's Religion of Crime branch. During a gunfight between his gang and the police, Mister Untouchable claimed that Intergang has cut him out of the action occurring in Metropolis by selling the location of their meth laboratory to the law enforcement.
Attackers from Intergang ambush Lois Lane and Jon Kent when she is driving him home from school. They run Lois' car off the road and into the woods. While Jon knocks out one of the attackers, Lois contacts Superman who defeats the attackers. Later at their barn, Lois and Clark figure out that their attackers are from Intergang and had followed Lois from her meeting. When Lois goes to pick up Jon from school and finds him in the library, they are ambushed by Intergang agents, who attempt to kill them. Jon's superpowers manifest as he manages to break down the door, allowing him and Lois to escape.
