This story is a direct sequel to the Rocket Kelly story in The Bouncer (1944 series) #14 Spring 1945. Thus, the "1944" date of Everybody's Comics is dubious.

Rocket Kelly

On the planet Selura, the Wise One explains to Kelly, Sue and Whacky that the "misfits" they have met are the failed results of the Selurians to perfect their race. Kelly agrees to pose as a deceased "misfit" so his "corpse" will be taken to the Outer Rings for examination by the Selurians. When the Selurians arrive to pick him up, Kelly shoots them and proves to the Wise One that they aren't immortal. The Wise One says his people will "settle peaceably with the Outer Ring" now that they don't have to fear their oppressors.
