The archaeologist Adam Strange was in Peru when he was unexpectedly transported 25 trillion miles across space to the planet Rann. Strange met a scientist named Sardath who used his Zeta Beam to attempt to communicate but had mistakingly teleported Strange. After using a device to understand Rann language, he learned that the planet was in need of a protector. Strange agreed and used Rann's technology and his own wits to battle alien invasions.
Over time, Strange cared for the people of Rann and fell in love with Sardath's daughter, Alanna. However, the radiation from the Zeta Beam was temporary and when it wore off, he would teleport back to Earth. Luckily, he was independently wealthy and after careful calculation, would travel around the Earth and intercept the next Zeta Beam transmission.
He learned of the threat of the Centre and returned to Earth to warn them. Instead, he was detained at Arkham Asylum and put under the supervision of Dr. Leslie Thompkins. Her evaluation concluded that Strange was sane and could be correct as other inmates began to exhibit possession by an evil entity. After being discharged, Strange went to Florida to join in the final battle against the Centre. Between trips to Rann, he is a member of the Justice League of America.
