Professor Fyodor Nikolai Kerensky was employed by the enigmatic Count Scarlioni to develop a machine which could generate a time bubble. Anything within this would be accelerated forward in time - so a baby animal could quickly be turned into a mature one. This would help to alleviate world hunger. This is what the Professor believed.
However, this was not the intention of Scarlioni, who was really a disguised alien named Scaroth - the last member of the ancient Jagaroth race. Scaroth intended that the machine would actually enable him to travel back in time to the event in prehistory when his spaceship exploded - splintering him through history and wiping out the rest of his people.
A captured Romana was able to complete the machine and, his usefulness no longer needed, Scaroth had Kerensky rapidly aged to death in his own device.
