Synopsis
  • Story reprinted from .
  • Supergirl, heading Earthward after a space mission, is diverted by a decoy explosive-ball that she lures away from herself. She tracks it to its planet of origin, which is precisely what three evil wizards, Orpa, Vorko and Draak wanted. On the planet, she is met by Togran, son of Vorko and enemy of the Mind Warp wizards. Togran tells her that the wizards' enemies, the people of Westland, have destroyed all of his people except for the Mind Warpers and their families. They brought Supergirl there to devastate the Westlanders in revenge. Supergirl intends to leave, but missles strike in Togran's garden and severely injure him. Angered, Supergirl heads to Westland and begins laying waste their war machine. But Vorko revives his son, and, against Vorko's wishes, Togran uses his mystic powers to go to Supergirl's side and explain that the Mind Warpers themselves directed the missles against him, as a ploy. Seconds later, Togran dies of overstrain. Vorko kills his two fellow wizards, though their mental linkage causes Vorko to die himself. Supergirl departs, knowing the war is finally over.
