Captain Huggy Face, a monkey who was a Lexicon Air Force pilot, piloted the ship but lost control when WordGirl awoke and landed on Earth in Fair City. The earth gives WordGirl her special abilities, including flight and superpower. WordGirl uses these powers to save her adopted home and uses her crashed spaceship as a secret base of operations.
