The green-finned cop known as Savage Dragon was busy fighting a bunch of ruthless evildoers who called themselves Johnny Redbeard''s Nixxed Men (a barely disguised jab at John Byrne''s Next Men). Unfortunately for all concerned, the action was observed over in the Megahero Universe by the Megatropolis Quartet. Exercising their limited intellects, they concluded that the alternate universe known as Earth-Image had been attacked by green-finned aliens. Since the colorfully clad Nixxed Men were being beaten up so badly, they decide to send Megaton Man in to rescue them. The rest, as they say, was chaos.
