HOMICRON, is a NASA physicist whose body is inhabited by a powerful alien. STARLOCK, the former servant of awesome cosmic entities, now a fugitive. FUTURA, a mysterious woman from another dimension. JALEB, the secretive agent of a race of telepaths. JAYDEE, the deadliest killing machine in the universe. The STRANGERS, brought together by TANKA, an "invariant" empowered to safeguard our world.
HOMICRON asks STARLOCK to assist the security organization C.L.A.S.H. with the disposal of weapons of mass destruction stored in a space station in orbit. Meanwhile, on Earth, the mysterious TANKA enlists FUTURA's help, and attempts to rescue JALEB from his comatose state, for he knows the telepath holds the key to their ultimate victory. The space station is taken over by the robotic army.
In the orbiting space station, HOMICRON, STARLOCK and FUTURA join the forces of C.L.A.S.H. to do battle with ASTAROTH who plots to blackmail Earth with the deadly weapons stored in its cargo. In Paris, TANKA shares his knowledge of events to come with the comatose JALEB. However, as a new villain is revealed, one who was secretly pulling manipulating ASTAROTH all along: the deadly TARANTULA.
The TARANTULA plans to crash the C.L.A.S.H.'s space station on Earth with its deadly cargo, virtually ending all life on the planet. To insure her victory, she uses her deadliest pawn: JAYDEE, an unstoppable, shapeshifting, killing organism, whom she unleashes on the STRANGERS. While on Earth, TANKA and JALEB draw plans, in space a deadly countdown has begun.
From his Moonbase, the dying NECROMANCER schemes to turn Earth into his funeral pyre. But his passing would not be complete without the humiliation of his arch-enemies, the super-group known as HEXAGON. As the STRANGERS mount a last, desperate attempt on the Moonbase to stop the NECROMACER's suicidal plan, the villain turns HEXAGON against them - but not all heroes will escape.
The NECROMANCER's threat to Earth is not over -- the villain has now taken refuge in his ultimate citadel: a station in orbit around the Sun, from which he plans to cause our star to go nova, using STARLOCK's precious starseed. The STRANGERS follow, and the final battle against the arch-villain takes place against the background of the Sun's murderous rays -- but can it be that it was all in vain?
The ultimate chess player has finally been revealed: DUKE OXIAN, the mad neuroform from the far future, who, from the heart of the Sun itself, schemes to reshape the patterns of time. Only HOMICRON and JALEB can safely go where no one has gone before: inside a star, to challenge the awesome entity. Meanwhile, the NECROMANCER's use of the starseed has alerted STARLOCK's former masters.
