He was struck by lightning, and elevated to "Lightning Land" where Kronz, the king of Lightning Land, adopted him as his commander and his son, renaming him Gundala, the son of lightning. Kronz subsequently commanded him to attack Cloud Land. After some adventures on Pangeran Mlaar's Planet Covox , Gundala returned to Earth.
