Alpha, The Experimental Man Batman and Robin help train Alpha, an artificial man created by Dr. Burgos, a scientist. When Alpha falls in love with Batwoman he uses the professor's ray device to boost his intellect and power, a measure that will result in his disintegration. As a result of his exposure to the ray, Alpha's power levels are increased, but Burgos explains to Batman that it will destroy Alpha in the end if they can't take him back to the laboratory for treatment. When the heroes try to bring Alpha back, he refuses to go, believing that the humans have turned against him. Only Batwoman has the ability to convince Alpha that they are just trying to help him, but when Batwoman's life is in peril, Alpha decides to save her by risking his own life. Batman and Robin arrive in time to rescue Batwoman, but much too late to save Alpha. Shortly afterwards, the heroes and Dr. Burgos mourn the passing of an artificial form of existence, who died showing his human side.
