Where the comics have bad dreams ending with a girl in a spacesuit who eventually beams down in front of him, the show had ... imagine visions of a great battle in space that are tearing your mind apart. At the end, there's this giant, bug-eyed monstrosity. It sees you. [[OhCrap And it's coming for you.]] It ends there, but the effect on your sanity and powers don't, by a long shot.

And turns out to be a spacesuit, with a pretty girl inside. She just needed the psychic link to pinpoint him.
