I'd like to add that I liked the origin of Zandor and Tara with the machines taking over their planet, and they had to go to their twin planet, becoming deliberately anti-technological. Rats. I forgot which one was the jungle planet (Amzot?), and the technological advanced one (Quasar?). And I CANNOT believe Shazzan would lose. He's a genie. They have god-like powers. In fact, he'd wipe Omnicron into nothingness.

Shazzan has magic at his disposal, and magic can do anything. The importance of the Shazzan cameo is just in establishing that he exists in one of those universes which Omnikron's vortexes (or vortices) had access to (and presumably Mightor's power club as well). Which is more than you can say about Young Samson and Goliath, or Moby Dick, Tom and Tubb, who didn't even get a cameo (but all in all, still better than appearing on 3 pages and then getting killed, like the Galaxy Trio). And then there was the cameo of Brak, which hinted at the possibility that Omnikron may have originated as one of his evil experiments to create some kind of destructive creature (presumably to threaten other planets into submission)... except that I don't recall Brak being a scientist, more of a space-pirate. That sounds more like something that Creature King would cook up...

Zandor and Tarra were originally inhabitants of Quasar, before the planet was entirely taken over by robots -- a bit too reminiscent of the future of The Terminator, for my tastes -- before fleeing to the primitive planet Amzot, whose indigenous lifeforms are genetically unique. It's true that the menaces Zandor and Tarra fought in the original H-B cartoon often used robots to carry out their dirty work, but the robots themselves were just tools, not the masters... but I've never been a big fan of the "robots are inherently evil if left to their own devices, unless carefully made into slaves by using proper programming or limiting their intelligence potential" school of thought... Maybe Tarra should have brought Frankenstein Jr. back to Quasar with her to kick their metal butts.

One other thing that bugged me in the series is that after introducing Dino Boy (who's never actually called that, by the way) Todd Messick in an early issue, his parents go missing after the timestorm and he sets out to find them in the Lost Valley (with Ug the Caveman's help)... and then he's just totally forgotten about, and we never did see what happened to him.
