Synopsis for the TV Cartoon The Evil Of Doctor Dark

Ming arranges the prison escape of Dr. Damion Dark, who brings with him from jail three psychic warriors- Lillith, Ra and Mara- and sends Dark, backed by his forces, to the island of Rylos, where Dark will begin his search for the three pieces of the Orb of Konos, which will bestow upon him the power to grant Ming immortality. Mandrake learns of Dark's plan through Vandar, the powerful Master of the Shadow Lords and mentor-to the superhero. He enlists the help of his comrades Flash, Rick, Lothar and L.J. to transport him to Rylos and try to stop Dark. The Defenders arrive on Rylos to discover that Dark has captured Vandar and gained possession of the Vial of Knowledge- which holds the information of the location of the three pieces of the Orb of Konos, but can only be opened in one specific place, a place of which only Vandar knows. Dark escapes from the island with Vandar by holding Rick hostage. Mara refuses to go with the evil ones, turning to the goodness of the Defenders. She uses her psychic ability to discover where Dark will open the Vial of Knowledge, and the Defenders race to the scene, engage in an all-out battle deep in the Well of Essence, defeat Dark and recover the Vial of Knowledge without Dark discovering the location of the three pieces of the Orb of Konos. In the battle, however, Vandar dies, Mara is lost, and Dark, unbeknownst to the Defenders, survives.
