History

(DC Comics Presents #3) - Kaskor decided that if he couldn’t rule Rann he’d destroy it. Sardath performed an experiment to stabilize the Zeta effect, and Kaskor took the opportunity to use his Zeta-Booster to switch Earth and Rann’s places in their respective solar systems and send Adam Strange to Earth. When the Booster wore off Rann would return to its rightful place in Alpha Centuri and both Earth and Rann would explode. Superman was off-world during these events, and when he found Earth gone, Sardath explained the situation and pleaded with him to help. Kaskor imprisoned Superman in a cage powered by a red-sun spectrum-beam, but the hero escaped and made his way back to Earth.  Superman and Strange teamed-up to defeat Kaskor, and used a spacewarp to return Earth to the Milky Way moments before Rann returned to Alpha Centuri.
