Part of this story takes place on "Femizonia Island," a base used by criminal mastermind and super-villainness Superia. Superia used advanced technology to render the island invisible to the outside world. She gathered a veritable army of super-human women (mostly super-villains) as well as normal women to her island. She protected the island with a force field and planned to use a gas against the rest of the world which would sterilize people - all people except the people on her island.
