Wright, who temporarily limits her powers to those of
the Blue Bulleteer. In the jungle, the team battles prehistoric
creatures and a band of giant Amazon warriors. These women
now worship Jimenez's time machine as a god, into whose
portal they sacrifice Rita. Later, when the FF track down
Jimenez in the Amazon city, they are confronted by Queen
Arachna, who has made Jimenez her consort. Meanwhile,
a hideously deformed criminal named Rip Jaw is also tracking
down the device, planning to use it to prevent the incident
in the past that turned him into a freak. |

Synopsis:
Professor Dawson, a researcher at Moffot Chemicals, tells
Colt and FBI agent Roy Lassiter that his life has been threatened
by a bizarre-looking scientist named Montague Moon. The killer
has ordered Dawson to steal for him the formula that Moon believes
will cure his deformity. That night, at the planetarium, Moon
receives a formula but quickly realizes it is a fraud, as is
the "Dawson" that delivered it. He unmasks Lassiter and captures
him, bringing Colt out of hiding to surrender as well. Moon
puts the two into an artificial moon, planning to suffocate
them, but Colt engineers an escape with explosives hidden on
her costume. The pair track down Moon at Moffot Chemicals and
capture two of his henchmen. Moon himself escapes and begins
plotting his revenge.
