Plot
Adam Strange's origin story is presented in flashbacks. On the Planet Rann, a Thanagarian armada invaded and attacked, Strange's Rannian wife Alanna was killed in the missile strike, and he had to fight his way while finding his daughter Aleea. During his search, he was randomly teleported to Eden Corp Mining Colony Number 75 in Space Sector 24601 by a Zeta Beam. He swore he would find his way back to Rann and be reunited with Aleea when the Zeta Beam returns. He determines the Beam's arrival by physics, mathematic and scientific calculations, but decades go by, and he gives up and resorts to alcohol and gets into fights with local residents of the colony. The people of the mining colony face an attack from bug-like aliens that were dwelling underground where the colony was mining so he decides to help. After the aliens are all destroyed, the mine is compromised by awareness that there could be more aliens, and all the miners and their families prepare for departure. The Foreman, grateful for Strange saving his family during the attack, offers to give Adam a ride but the latter chooses to stay and wait for the inevitable arrival of the Zeta beam. The spaceship leaves and Adam's rocket pack alerts him that the long-waited Zeta Beam has finally arrived, and he can finally continue his quest for his daughter.
