A Pretty Girl is Like a -- Maladi!
When his son is killed by an American in El Salvador, Soviet official Varek Slavik takes revenge on the United States by sending his secretary, Maladi Malanova, to America as a courier, with the young woman unaware that she is the carrier of a deadly disease. Learning of this, the Soviet government dispatches super-hero Starfire to the U.S. to stop Maladi. F.B.I. agent King Faraday alerts the Titans) to Starfire's arrival, and a battle ensues when they mistake him for the plague-carrier. Having discovered the truth, the Titans race to locate Maladi before Starfire, who plans to end her threat by killing her, inasmuch as her own condition is now incurable. The Titans fight Starfire to a stalemate and Maladi is finally taken to a hospital to die in peace. After being condemned for his callous attitude by the Titans throughout their encounter, Starfire ultimately reveals that Maladi was his fiancée, and he had only volunteered for the mission to spare her the pain of a tortuous death.
