Hyperspace bridges the gap between vast expanses of space, allowing voyagers to travel from their section of the galaxy to new worlds. Kanjar Ro used a cosmic boat to accomplish such a feat, and journeyed to Earth-One. Recruiting the Justice League of America to battle the competing sovereigns of his solar system: Kromm of Mosteel, Sayyar of Llarr, and his arch-foe the Queen of Alstair known as Hyathis. Instead, all four villains were taken from their worlds and exiled on a meteor-world. He would escape several times over the years, using such devices as the gamma metal gong and the energi-rod.
Kanjar Ro had an Earth-Two counterpart in the dictator named Blakfu, king of the Mole Men. Utilizing paralyzing electrical currents and other weaponry similar to his doppelgänger, Blakfu like Kanjar Ro made as a recurring the Wonder Woman of his Earth. Only instead of facing Wonder Woman’s allies in the Justice Society, he made enemies of the girls of Holliday College.
In the parallel universe of Earth-Two, the tyrants vying for power in the same solar system included Hydara of Hyper-Neptune, Kafta of Hyper-Uranus, and Thermo of Hyper-Pluto. Their plans were spoiled by the intervention of hyper-space traveling Justice Society of America, exiled from Earth-Two by Nazi master engineer Hans Gootsden.
In fact, later ladies of both Earths would also achieved this same scientific success, the counterparts Enrichetta Negrini of Earth-One and Lana Kurree of Earth-Two. But before we consider them, let's learn more about the prominent people the Justice League and Justice Society members met during their hyperspace travels.
Hyathis went on to be the ruler of the hawkworld of Thanagar, while Hydara remained on his native planet as its sole sovereign. Meanwhile, Kromm and Kafta, Sayaar and Thermo were each one-note-wonders quickly defeated. Another tyrant the Society faced in Solaris the Meteor Man was the doppleganger of the Appellaxian ruler who sent his meteor minions versus the Justice League in their origin tale.
Queen Desira of that same solar system found a counterpart in the flying female named Dwyanna Ral of Llorth. Desira's once winged daughter Eve of Eveland likewise had a doppleganger in the flying Maya from the other-dimensional world of Floria. Desira and Eve had led their Venusian people who were similar to the Florians, although considerably smaller and without the need of wings to glide through the air. Maya was enslaved in the schemes of her former foe Jason Woodrue, aka the Plant-Master who himself would later become the Floronic Man and a foe of the Atom.
Research scientist Lana Kurree seemingly tapped into hyperspace thanks to some type of mutant mental abilities. Unlike her Earth-One counterpart Enrichetta who relied on mechanical means to produce this effect, Lana was able to pull both herself and others through time and space. This led to a series of adventures throughout various centuries and locales involving herself, her fellow Holliday College alumni the Holliday Girls, and Wonder Woman. One identity she assumed was Norman Servelia, in a tale involving… a meddling monarch, like the aforementioned alien ones!
