Defenders of the Earth

Im Mittelpunkt der Serie steht eine Gruppe berühmter Helden, bestehend aus Alex Raymonds Science-Fiction-Helden Flash Gordon und Lee Falks Comicfiguren Mandrake der Zauberer, Dschungeldheld Phantom und Lothar, Mandrakes Helfer und stärkster Mann der Welt.

L'histoire se déroule en l’an 2015. La race humaine est sur le point de tomber sous le joug de Ming l'impitoyable, de la planète Mongo, avec son armée de robots de glace. Tout serait perdu pour la planète bleue si une équipe de superhéros n'était pas là pour s'interposer face au plan machiavélique de ce tyran : les Défenseurs de la Terre. L'équipe est menée par Flash Gordon, et il est accompagné dans cette lutte contre les forces du mal par le Fantôme, Mandrake et Lothar. Mais en plus, chacun de ces quatre héros est accompagné par son descendant. Tous ensemble, ils vont alors combattre le maléfique Ming...

Nell'anno 2015, Flash Gordon e suo figlio Rick Gordon scapparono dallo spietato Ming e dal pianeta che tiraneggiava, Mongo, oramai esaurito delle sue risorse. Ming allora decise d'invadere la terra con la sua armata, ma a baluardo vi erano degli eroi: Phantom, Mandrake e Lothar. Essi difesero il pianeta aiutati dalla loro progenie: Rick Gordon (figlio di Flash), Jedda (figlia di Phantom), Kshin (figlio adottivo e apprendista di Mandrake) e Lothar jr. (figlio di Lothar).

No processo, Ming captura e mata Dale Arden Gordon, mas não antes de transferir sua essência para um cristal especial.

Também se juntando aos heróis estão o filho de Flash, Rick, a filha do Fantasma, Jedda, o filho de Lothar, LJ, e o filho adotivo de Madrake, Kshin.
