Comments:
This story was originally titled:"The Radio-Active Menace".

Synopsis:
Banished by his people a billion years ago, Carlon Zan was sent into space aboard a ship. Somehow the ship was turned radioactive and transported in time where Zan arrives on Rann. His very touch turns people and objects radioactive, and he becomes a menace to the people of Ranagar.

Adam Strange, having recently returned to Rann, studies films of the man’s arrival and notices that one of his footprints does not become radioactive. Ranagaran scientists study the footprint and determine that a rare element, Malybium, counteracts the radioactive man’s touch. Using a gun designed to spray Malybium, Adam and the Ranagarans stop Zan’s movement, and he is changed into lead.
