As panic spreads, Professor Garth, General Kane, Craig, and Mr. Paine must confront the terrifying vision before it consumes them, only to realize the machine is showing the birth of the Sun in reverse.
In "I Was a Prisoner on the Planet of Plunder!", interstellar detective Rick Dugan swaps places with a cargo pilot to uncover a string of mysterious thefts—ships robbed with no memory of the crime. Stranded on an unarmed world, he faces a native people who try to steal his cargo and hypnotize him with sound waves, unaware he’s deaf and immune to their tactics.
In "I Am...Gorilla!", a gorilla named Bongo awakens after an atomic explosion to find his mind suddenly sharp with human intelligence. Overwhelmed by newfound awareness, he grapples with the weight of his transformation—whether to rule humanity or guide it through reason—before his artificial brilliance begins to fade.
In "I Am the Scourge of Atlantis!", the once-mighty king of the sunken realm, Ogarth, leads a desperate crusade from the depths, convinced that the surface world still holds dominion over his people. With his loyal lieutenant Cnidos at his side, he launches a war against the surface, only to discover that centuries of oceanic pressure have reduced his civilization to the size of insects—now dwarfed and outmatched by the very humans they sought to conquer.
