Title:
Supergirl
Synopsis:
🔑 Origin of Zatanna
The Devil’s Brother!; The Girl Who Split In Two!
Someone mails Linda Danvers a strange book written in some kind of unknown alphabet. Shortly after opening it, Supergirl feels dizzy and her powers fade gradually. Still she and Superman are to take a group of teenagers to an amusement park. At the park’s House of Shudders, Rowena, one of her wards, disappears. While looking for her, Supergirl is yanked through a dimensional doorway to the world of Dax, a planetary tyrant. Dax reveals he emailed the mysterious book to her to strip her from his powers, and he holds Rowena hostage. He’ll only restore her powers and give back Rowena if she will lead a group of student rebels into an ambush. Supergirl reluctantly agrees, but insists on seeing Rowena’s wristwatch as proof of her abduction. After she hands back the watch, Dax restores her powers. Supergirl flies off, gains the trust of the rebels, and does indeed lead them into a trap. The soldiers of Dax capture the rebels and Dax releases Rowena. When he is holding Rowena’s wristwatch Supergirl activates a sleep-gas that she had planted in the watch. Dax is rendered unconscious and Supergirl defeats Dax’s forces. Turning them over to the student rebels, Supergirl takes Rowena and returns to her own dimension just before the warp-gateway closes.
