The story is known for its comedic tone and features guest appearances by other obscure characters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStory Synopsis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe issue opens in the domed city of Metropolis (from the Pre-Zero Hour continuity), which has been trapped on the planet Telos by Brainiac for a year. The protoplasmic entity known as Matrix, who has taken on the form of Supergirl, is a bodyguard to the Lex Luthor II of that time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eLex's Scheme: As the dome begins to fall and the champions of each city are called to battle for survival, Lex Luthor, ever the self-interested manipulator, gives Supergirl a device and a mission. He asks her to find a \"teleportation finder thingy\" that might offer a way to get off the planet, though he pretends it's for the benefit of Metropolis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eThe Battle: Supergirl sets off and quickly encounters Lord Volt and Lady Quark, the champions of Electropolis. The pair were created as minor characters during the original Crisis on Infinite Earths and are now portrayed as a constantly bickering, unhappily married couple who were forced into a political marriage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eBickering \u0026amp; Action: Their constant arguing and verbal barbs prevent a serious fight from immediately breaking out, much to Supergirl's relief, as she is more interested in following her signal. When they finally do engage, Supergirl is able to quickly dispatch both of them, punching Lord Volt and using her telekinesis to knock Lady Quark across the city.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eThe Reveal: Supergirl follows the beeping device, all the while being berated by Lex's voice coming through it. In frustration, she smashes the device, only to realize she has likely destroyed their only hope of escape. On the final page, a voice from nearby warns her not to expect sanctuary elsewhere, and the character is revealed to be Ambush Bug, a meta-fictional, humor-oriented character, setting up the second issue. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCreative Team\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eWriter: Keith Giffen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eArtist: Timothy Green II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eCover Artist: Howard Porter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BattleBuddyComics.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924746813540,"sku":"BO41","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/7606\/4868\/files\/IMG_2026_02_17_19_37_51_073.jpg?v=1771378769","url":"https:\/\/battlebuddycomics.com\/products\/convergence-supergirl-matrix-1-2015-vf-nm","provider":"BattleBuddyComics.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
