History[]
Earth 1956[]
Kolbar was an alien from the planet Solar Terrarium, a planet that was filled with air pollution and even pollution the waterways. Kolbar and his people needed a constant temperature of 140 Degrees to live comfortably, but the atmosphere became so polluted that clouds of smoke blocked out most of the sun's rays, causing the planet's temperature to drop to 85 Degrees, which is Earth's standard summertime temperature, but for Solar Terrarium humanoids, it's considered "bone chilling."
Kolbar traveled to Earth and set up a lab on Malaba island. He stationed a solar robot at the far side of the Sun. His mission was to make Earth like Solar Terrarium, so that his people could there and live comfortably.
The only problem was, Earthlings couldn't survive in such extreme heat, and this causes disasters all over the world. The Junior Super Friends, Marvin and Wendy, discover that Kolbar was present at all of the heatwave calamities. Eventually, they spot him at the observatory and tail him, but they lose him in the botanical garden.
Meanwhile, at the Gotham City Observatory it was discovered that magnetism was the cause of the Earth's drift, and in order to stop the crisis they would need to create a repelling magnetic force. So Superman flies to India to fetch Flash, who wraps himself up in copper wire and races around the world, creating the magnetic force necessary to set earth back into orbit. When Kolbar learns of this, he tells his boss, Lupis a man from his homeworld, that the Earth's temperature is dropping again. He then switches his solar robot to quadratronic power, since magnetism was no longer having any effect, but Knowalot, who is helping the Super Friends with the case, tracks the robot down to the other side of the sun, and Superman goes up into outer space and destroys it.
Meanwhile, Marvin and Wendy had earlier spotted Kolbar at the United States Weather Bureau office, and they hid in his spacecraft and found themselves on Malaba. They went inside and found him crying, because Superman had destroyed the solar robot.
Eventually, Superman, Aquaman, Flash and Wonder Dog arrive at Kolbar's lab and after telling them Kolbar's situation, Superman makes a glass bubble and transports Kolbar and his friends through space with it, finally arriving on the planet Solar Terrarium.
The three superheroes clean up the planet's pollution at super speed. Afterward, the Solar Terrarium sun starts shining again, and the temperature rises. Kolbar decided to invite the heroes to a carnival in their honor. He also apologized to the Super Friends for their planet's mistake trying to alter the Earth's atmosphere to suit their own needs, and he promised that they would use their resources more wisely.
Superman thanks him for the invitation, but he tells him he has to celebrate without them, because if they stay on their planet, they'll be burnt to a crisp. Kolbar's people return to the streets and are happy, as if a new day has fallen on Solar Terrarium.
