Adventure Comics SUPERGIRL "Heartbreak Prison!" Conclusion

An unknown, unseen, alien contacts Supergirl across interstellar space, requesting she stop despotic madman Tyrox from unleashing his "Zenith Weapon" which could destroy the universe!
Though she could easily defeat Tyrox's guards. Kara allows herself to be arrested and imprisoned so the lunatic won't activate his weapon as a last resort against her...
Several points...
1) Green Kryptonite can poison and kill Kryptonians under a red sun.
Most of the population of Kara's home, Argo City, died when the lead shielding under the city was ruptured by meteors, exposing the citizens to the ground below the spacegoing domed city...which had become green kryptonite when Krypton exploded!
(Some, including her parents, escaped to the Phantom Zone, and later moved to the bottled city of Kandor!)
2) Tyrox's technology is remarkably-primitive for a culture that created a device capable of destroying the whole universe!
3) We never heard from the "mysterious, unknown intelligence" again.
He/she/it's identity remains unknown.

Adventure Comics SUPERGIRL "Heartbreak Prison!" Part 1

When you think of the CW's favorite super-heroine...,,, do you think "women's prison"?

You will, after reading this never-reprinted tale from DC's Adventure Comics #394 (1970)!

This tale of unjust jailing concludes...
THURSDAY!
Truth to tell, these women sound like a bunch of second-raters, except for the one who blew up a rocket (which probably was manned)!
So, it's not exactly Caged Heat or Big Doll House!
Considering the limitations imposed by the Comics Code of America at the time, it's actually not bad for a kid-friendly tale!
One obvious thing, though...who (or what) was the mysterious voice, and why did Kara trust it implicitly?
How did she know it wasn't evil, and simply wanted someone to do his/her's/it's dirty work?
