"THE
RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD" Air Date: February
19,1979. In 'The Richest Man in the Wodd"
multi-millionaire Marshall Henshaw meets with Steve
Trevor and a foreign prime minister to report that
the Missile Systems Scrambler (nicknamed "Missy") is
ready for shipping. This is vitally important as the
device has the ability to scramble signals from
approaching missiles, forcing them to veer off
target. It is an incredible offensive weapon.
Unfortunately, no sooner does Henshaw leave this
meeting than he is kidnapped. The kidnappers gain
the information they need about MISSY, and dump
Henshaw's unconscious body into the woods somewhere,
believing that he'll die from exposure. While they
set a plan into motion in which they'll substitute a
fake scrambler with the real thing, an orphan child
named Barney finds Henshaw and helps him, saving the
man's life in the process. The situation growing
more desperate by the moment, Wonder Woman steps in
and does what she can to set things right again. In
the end, MISSY is delivered to the prime minister
and Barney finds himself with a new adopted father.
"A DATE WITH DOOMSDAY" Air Date: March 10, 1979.
Things aren't quite so soft and fuzzy in "A Date
With Doomsday," when a biological "slime" that would
kill thousands if it should become airborne is
stolen. Its creator, Dr. Roberts, is desperately
attempting to find an antidote, but it is imperative
that Wonder Woman find the sample before it is used
by Ward Selkirk in a move against the White House
and, in turn, the people of Washington D.C. The task
is made more challenging when it's revealed that
Selkirk has devised a means of developing face and
hand masks of anyone he chooses, and it is by this
method that he stole the sample in the first place
and is ultimately able to steal the antidote as
well, giving him complete power. It all comes down
to a final few desperate seconds as Wonder Woman
attempts to stop Selkirk from achieving his deadly
goals." |
