Commander Rann returns from his 1000 year space voyage to find that the Warp Drive has been invented, which has allowed Baron Karza to take over the Microverse while he slept in suspended animation. Rann is captured and sent to the Pleasure Pits where his escape is orchestrated by the others, including those who would become members of the Micronauts.
