While his sky car is attacked by Blimp Bandits and saved by Tom Strong, Timmy Turbo reads about how Tom Strong got started. The origin: Scientist Sinclair Strong and his wife are marooned on Attabar Teru, where they build Pneuman and have a child, Tom, raising him following a scientific protocol. Tom's parents die when he is 11 and he is raised by the Ozu. He eventually grows up, defeats Paul Saveen, marries Chief Omotu's daughter Dhalua, gives intelligence to King Solomon, and has a daughter, Tesla.
