Still recovering from their startling encounter with a spectral visitor from the cosmos, Jonny Quest and Hadji arrive at the crash site of a mysterious alien vessel. There, they meet a lone survivor—an amnesiac woman whose only clue to her past is a strange, sentient pet named Blip. Meanwhile, the story shifts to a prehistoric era, unveiling the dramatic origin of Earth’s first extraordinary champion—Mightor, a courageous warrior granted supernatural power in humanity’s earliest days.

Notable Arcs or Storylines
