Synopsis for Neon the Unknown: "The Mystery Gun"Edit
A vital midwest power plant and a hydroelectric dam are each destroyed with single shots from a gigantic artillery piece; the military authorities are baffled. Standing in a tall tree near an arms plant in the coastal part of Texas, Neon the Unknown detects a third incoming shell, fired from somewhere over the horizon, and with a neonic flash he explodes it harmlessly at a high altitude. He shoots an arc of neonic power along the shell's trajectory, and flies across the Gulf of Mexico at the speed of light, to a tiny Caribbean island, where he finds a run-down old castle, defended by riflemen and electrified barbed wire. He breaks in and finds a bedridden dying man and a priest, whom he quickly detects as foreign military agents. He beats up one while the other flees, meanwhile the castle roof swings open and the giant cannon is aimed at some new target. Neon blocks the muzzle with a neonic ray, and the cannon backfires, seemingly killing the German-speaking gun crew. The top two bosses attempt to flee in a U-boat, but Neon spots it, levitates it out of the ocean, and flies it to Washington DC and drops it into "the Patomac River."
