Strange is an archeologist suddenly teleported from Peru, Earth to fictional planet Rann through the "Zeta Beam". Called on to protect the planet from extraterrestrial threats using high-tech weaponry, Strange grew to care for the planet and its inhabitants, especially the blue-haired Alanna and her father Sardath, whose experiments were responsible for the ray that had brought him. Eventually, the effects of the beam wore off, automatically returning Strange to Earth at the exact point of departure, but not before Sardath had given him a schedule of beam firings allowing him to periodically return to the planet. Independently wealthy, he traveled Earth, intercepting the scheduled Zeta Beams to defend Rann and be with Alanna. Although never a headlining character, Strange has had a consistent presence in the DC Universe. In 1964, following a shake-up among DC's editors, Hawkman moved out into his own comic and his slot was taken by Space Ranger — bringing the two characters created in that 1957 editorial conference together in the same book.

At the same time, veteran comics artist Lee Elias (Beyond Mars, Green Arrow) became Adam's illustrator. But the new look didn't last. In the 103rd issue (November, 1965), Ultra the Multi-Alien, who is best remembered for his goofy concept, ousted them both. Mystery in Space itself ended with #110 (September, 1966), and Ultra, too, was homeless. Since then, Adam has been seen from time to time in guest appearances, mini-series and the like. He eventually overcame his problem with Zeta Beams wearing off, and settled on Rann full-time. Needless to say, he married Alanna. The menaces thinned out, so he got to enjoy a moment of wedded bliss now and again. In the late 1980s, when "darker" visions began to dominate comics, Adam's back-story underwent some revision. In a guest appearance in Swamp Thing, writer Alan Moore (The Ballad of Halo Jones, V for Vendetta) invented a new past for him, one in which the people of Rann were slowly dying out due to declining fertility, and the actual intent of the Zeta Beam was to bring Adam to them as a breeding stud. This retcon was confirmed in a 1990 mini-series, which also took the trouble to kill off Alanna. Adam returned to Earth, got a new girlfriend, and took the attitude that Rann can jolly well save itself from those ever-recurring menaces. Adam Strange (Picture 4).
