Superman locates the phasing building again and enters it, phasing back with it to its location on Vonn, which is under a red sun that strips him of his powers. There he meets J'onn J'onzz again, and learns that the Martians have been kidnapped by the warlike Thythen race and used to recharge war-robots with their own life-force. J'onzz has fallen in love with Bel Juz, a female Martian, but Superman learns that she has sold out to the Thythen.
