In the first issue, a super-strong Babe appears to Ralph Rowan, with no memory of where she came from, how she ended up on the beach, why she's so incredibly strong, or why nothing hurts her. In issues #2 and #3, she is snatched up by aliens, and teams up with guest The Blonde Bombshell (former partner of Torch of Liberty). After escaping the alien spacecraft in issue #3, Babe and company come back to Earth along with the survivors of a mysterious plane crash, who have some strange connection to Babe. Issue #3 also feature the first appearance of John Byrne's creation, the Prototykes. Babe's origin is finally revealed in issue #4, which features the Prototykes again, and Babe's final showdown with villain Gideon Longshadow.
A 2-issue mini-series titled Babe 2 followed in 1995. Babe 2 finds Babe battling the Shrewmanoid, and also features a guest appearance by Abe Sapien.[1]
The series has been collected into a trade paperback bringing together all the stories set in the Danger Unlimited universe:
