Lex Corpshas summoned Clark Kent and Lois Lane to report on their recent discovery. An asteroid is heading toward Earth. No ordinary asteroid either. This asteroid seems to be sending out a distress signal that no one but Clark can hear, and he recognizes it as Kryptonian. Doing his famous duck out and then later returning as Superman, he reveals to Lois and Cheryl Kimbell (The newest CEO of Lexcorps) that there was a signal, and what it was for. Cheryl then loans Superman a ship to help him on the long flight to find out who is on the asteroid, and why they are distressed. When he arrives at the asteroid he finds it mostly deserted, and ravaged. However, he discovers three people who are in need of medical attention. He puts them in his ship, and sets the coordinates to Lex-Corps space station. Leaving him without a way home. upon further investigation, he comes across a strange looking alien who immediately attacks him. Superman punches it, and the blood from the wound falls into his eyes, blinding him. Even though he is blinded and hurt, he defeats the alien. Much to the surprise of a young blonde girl who saw his fight. She helps the blinded Superman to his feet, and as they walk to safety, she tells him of the aliens attack on her city, and a little bit of her history. They are on Argo she tells him, and her name is Kara.

Prior to 1972 US Marvel comics had been reprinted in the UK by a variety of licensees, including Alan Class and Odhams. In 1972 however, this reprinting was brought in-house with the formation of Marvel UK, whose first title was Mighty World of Marvel. In 1979, after a couple of title changes, usually as a result of absorbing other, failing Marvel UK titles, it became the monthly title Marvel Super-Heroes, which finally ended in May 1983 with #397. In July 1983 Mighty World of Marvel was revived as a full colour monthly, picking up Marvel Super-Heroes' final leading strip, the Claremont-Byrne era X-Men, where it had left off, at the start of the later-to-be-classic Days of Future Past story-line, alongside the US mini-series Vision and Scarlet Witch. With the latter concluding in #4, the fifth issue began reprinting Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's Wolverine mini-series. The seventh issue saw Mighty World of Marvel absorb The Daredevils, causing the X-Men's departure and bringing in Alan Moore and Alan Davis' Captain Britain and Night Raven (the latter text stories, rather than a comic strip), both of which had previously graced the pages of Marvel Super-Heroes. Falling sales saw the title drop some of the colour pages a few issues later, and in #13 Moore completed his run on Captain Britain, with Alan Davis and Steve Craddock taking over writing duties. Issue #16 saw the final instalment of Captain Britain before he departed to star in his own title. Though the next issue was the last, it saw the start of reprinting another US mini-series, Magik, which then transferred, along with the Night Raven text stories, to Marvel UK's Savage Sword of Conan monthly.
