Synopsis for Supergirl: "The Hated Girl of Steel"
Dr. Alexander's eyesight cannot be restored by any known operation or process. However, it turns out that her eyesight has been accidentally destroyed by an effect of marauding aliens called the Rancors, whose leader, Tiras, explains that the Red Hand Nebula is their doing. Dr. Alexander was blinded by a sentinel satellite which detected her observation. She and the other scientists of Earth who were kidnapped from a science building's dedication are scheduled to have their intellects sapped away and stored in a computer by the Rancor's device, but Supergirl disguises herself as Dr. Alexander, takes her place, and destroys the machine. Another device of the Rancors, a Protoplasmic Regenerator, restores Alexander's sight. Supergirl restores Alexander and the rest of the scientists to Earth.
