Forgive my insolence to the council but...you don't care about my homeworld, and they're not the backwards primitives in need of Uranian guidance that you believe. You've never made it clear why the colony has been apart from Earth for so long, but I think I get it. They're coming together as a civilization in their own time, in their own way. Whoever left you out on a ball of ice and gas at the outer end of the solar system had a reason. And before I build a bridge between the world...I'm going to know that reason.

Synopsis for "Man of Two Worlds"
Bob Grayson continues his adventures as a superhero making his name known, while the Uranian Elders get increasingly on edge to leave their bubble city Urania on Uranus. During one of his adventures back on Earth Bob reconnects with Violet and they grow close, however nearing the new year the F.B.I. set up a trap for Bob using a mechanical monster and sent him to prison. Agent Lupek a member of the F.B.I. had the intention of using Bob's powers for political gain but he was soon arrested by Agent Woo who overheard the conversation Agent Lupek and Bob were having.
Jimmy Woo also recruited Bob into a secret team of super powered individuals that would do good for the country. The Uranians got even more annoyed by this and questioned Bob on why he wasn't spreading their name publicly so that they could increase their relations with humans and go back to Earth. Bob replied that if they were put in that bubble there was a reason for it, and he wouldn't act on their agenda until he knew the reason why that was. However the Uranians weren't without a backup plan, as they have been growing a clone of Bob and plan to swap him out with the real deal.
The story ends with Bob visiting his birthplace of Berchtesgaden, Germany, where he takes in the memories he had as an infant alone with visiting the favorite spot of his late mother, Marna.
