| Review Summary |
John Smith is an ordinary high school kid who gets caught in a scientific experiment devised by the evil Dr. Angstrom and performed by his half brother Dr. Leitz.
The atomic ray designed to give Dr. Angstrom immortality, blows John into the Antiworld where a mysterious character called The Master of the Perfect Word teaches him about thought, and how important it is to his new ability to change both his shape and the course of history.
Using his super heroic powers John has to rescue his three school friends and save the world from being enslaved by the evil Dr. Angstrom. His quest drags them all into a strange parallel world where he discovers that change bestows awesome power when observed carefully and used wisely.
