A constant fixture for many years in Memphis, Robert Hodges who refers to himself as "Prince Mongo" (later this morphed into King Mongo and later St Mongo) held a significant segment of the Memphis imagination, especially between the mid 70s to the mid 80s. Possibly it was the fact that Mongo never became boring that kept him in the public imagination.

The most prevalent story by far was that Hodges had taken out insurance against the loss of his mental faculties. He then pretended to be insane. The insurance company paid off in the millions, but in order to keep the money Prince Mongo must continue to come across as, at least, eccentric.

The second urban legend is that Hodges' brother is filthy rich and gives him whatever he wants. The idea that Robert Hodges himself may have inherited money has never been explored in my presence and I don't know the answer to that question.

In case no one's figured it out yet, the being from a different planet thing is to capture attention to the real issues. Like in this video, Why aren't we doing more to rehabilitate repeat offenders? Why don't we care for our poor? etc. ,etc. Its just a different way of attracting people'es attention to social problems.
