Fictional character biography
Sardath is a scientist originating from Rann, a planet in the Alpha Centauri system whose residents are indistinguishable from humans. Sardath is known for many of his world's greatest inventions, particularly the Zeta Beam. The Zeta Beam was originally created as a communication device so he could contact other worlds; due to the amount of energy used, it became a teleportation device. The first planet the Zeta Beam reached was Earth, where it struck Adam Strange and transported him to Rann. Sardath is shocked by this, but theorizes that the radiation of the beam will eventually wear off, returning Strange to Earth.[1][2]
Strange remains with Sardath and his daughter Alanna to protect the planet from extraterrestrial threats using Rann's technology. Eventually, the effects of the beam wear off, returning Strange to Earth. Sardath continues to operate the Zeta Beam and gives Strange a schedule of beam firings, allowing him to return to Rann.[3]
