So other then as a plot contrivance, there is never any reason given here or in part 2 for why the planet drains J'onn J'onzz's powers.
For all of Superman's supersenses and invulnerability, he falls for the old "dust tossed in his eyes" trick that Draaga pulls on him.
Green Lantern: All we want to do is find our friends. You can talk to me or her. (Hawkgirl smacks her mace into her hand angrily)
Mongul: The people have spoken – long live democracy!
This episode along with "Paradise Lost, Part 1 and 2" and "War World, Part 2" was released on DVD as Justice League: Paradise Lost.
Character bios: Mongul
This episode echoes the comic book storyline when Superman is exiled from Earth and lands on Warworld, meets Mongul, and fights Draaga: circa Adventures of Superman #454, May 1989.
According to Bruce Timm, Maria Canals does a "hilarious unbilled second voice" in this episode and part 2 - apparently the alien old woman who kvetches at J'onn J'onzz.
Batman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman do not appear in this episode.
Draaga: Draba
Draaga comes across as a homage to Draba, the Ethiopian gladiator played by Woody Strode in 1960's Spartacus, starring Kirk Douglas.
