Deep within the shadowy heart of Eastern Europe, two scientists struggle for control of their remarkable discovery: Supercon, an element so powerful it can only be handled by Mandroid, a hi-tech robot guided by a "virtual reality" headset. Dr. Karl Zimmer, joined by his devoted daughter Zanna, wants nothing more than to help mankind. But his partner Dr. Drago, obsessed by Supercon's potential to transform Mandroid into an invincible fighting machine, has plans of his own.
