It began as the Medusa's conquests had always begun-with a tiny wrinkled spore. It took a while for th spore to find its proper resting place, but the Medusa was in no hurry, all eternity lay ahead. At last the spore entered into Man. Or rather, into a man. A man who a moment before had been an outcast of humanity. A man who now possessed the most awesome power ever to shadow Earth. The quest now was - what would he do with it....? Even the Medusa didn't know.
