History: (Martian Manhunter II #2) - The Antares probe was created by an alien race, filled with a number of cryogenically frozen extraterrestrials, and sent to Earth in the prehistoric era. The crash separated Antares from its transmitter and killed the aliens aboard. In the modern era New Concept Designs discovered the transmitter, activating Antares. It reconnected the transmitter and went on a rampage in Japan. It was stopped by Martian Manhunter, and when the hero entered Antares it initiated a self-destruct sequence. Before it destroyed itself it it sent a signal to its creators race, telling them to come to Earth.
