In "Ravage of Ronthor," Captain Atom is sent to a long-abandoned alien world after a mysterious distress signal draws Earth's attention. There, he discovers a planet once home to a civilization so advanced it grew weary of its own perfection—leaving behind only silent ruins and a haunting message about the cost of complacency. With no weapons but his own ingenuity, he devises a way to cleanse the planet of a creeping, invasive insect life before returning to Earth.
