While on his luxury cruise to Mars, he is called into action when there is a murder on board. The murder is just the start of a larger conspiracy that puts everyone on board in peril and threatens to start an interplanetary war. Kangaroo has a bunch of special features, built in communication equipment and bionic features that allow him to "see" radiation and radio waves as well as implants in others. His big superpower, however, is a parallel universe that only he can access through is "pocket." All the best equipment in the world can sometimes have a hard time foiling a well planned operation.
