He tortures his assistant Jod to the point of a murderous rage and amplifying those thoughts across space, brings Spacehawk to him who feels these emotions emanating from the planet. When the hero comes to his lab he uses hypnosis to control him. The queen comes to Droon’s lab where Spacehawk professes his feeling for her.
