So who was it that betrayed the rest of the team? Well, surprisingly it was JLA-stalwart J’onn Jones The Martian Manhunter. But why would he do such a thing?
Well, needless to say there was something else going on. The En’tarans had managed to bring Alanna back from her near-death state and had discovered the lingering zeta radiation in her body. Realising the possibilities for conquest the zeta technology offered, they had Alanna bring Adam to them. Adam, suspecting something was amiss had used Rannian technology to shield his mind from their mental powers, seemingly scrambling his thoughts and making him appear insane to them, but Adam knew he’d have to trick the En’tarans to rid Rann of their threat permanently.
As their invasion force moved towards Rann, he returned via Zeta beam with the small force of En’tarans and enacted his plan. Acting unhinged he set about remodelling Rann’s architecture into a giant zeta beam projector which he could power with his own Mega-Zeta radiation. Recruiting the JLA, he was able to inform J’onn of his true plans as J’onn’s own powers would protect him from the En’taran’s telepathy.
As the might of the full invasion force arrived at Rann, the JLA were successful in helping Adam complete his plan and use his Mega-Zeta Beam to transport the entire force away while Superman freed Alanna (and her father Sardath) from the En’tarans.
This story represented a big moment in the Adam Strange mythos. Bringing back Sardath and Alanna, while also Adam lost the mega-Zeta Beam radiation which had kept him permanently on Rann, meaning while Alanna looked after their daughter, Adam would find himself back to chasing after other Zeta beams so he could revisit his family.
