Drox

The New York City of the 26th century hasn’t changed since the 1950s. It acts as a museum of sorts, to remind future generations of how great the era of the 1950s was. Drox, Viceroy of Venus, leads an invasion of New York City. Planting fast-growing, super-tall Venusian plant-life, the alien flora soon spawns to reach heights of 600 miles high and more. Commodore Rex Clive of the Space Rangers, visiting the city with Stella Dawn, has the water supply cut off, causing the plants to die. Drox is confident the rivers will provide enough water, but when the plants reach the ocean, the salt water kills them. Rex orders the Space Rangers to drive off the Venusian ships.
