Synopsis:
After rescuing Lori Lemaris and Jerro from poachers, Supergirl and Comet tour Atlantis. There they incur the wrath of an Atlantean criminal Vostar. Vostar uses a telepathy helmet to gain control of Comet and set him on a path of destruction. In doing so Comet is sent back in time, where he encounters Halley’s Comet. Upon returning to the present he is transformed into the humanoid form, Biron. Then he warns Supergirl about Vostar. She is able to capture the criminal before he can force Comet to continue his rampage.
