the challengers of the unknown are so funny to me because like. you know how the fantastic four got into a horrible accident that transfigured them, giving them superpowers, and they decided to dedicate their lives to using their powers for good after? well the challengers got into a horrible accident, literally nothing happened, and they then went "welp guess we're gonna risk our lives investigating weird shit now. its the only natural choice." no its not you could just live a normal life 😭😭
DC Comics Announces "Challengers of the Unknown"
DC Comics "All In" initiative is bringing back the investigators of the strange and unusual, the Challengers of the Unknown. The Challengers of the Unknown 5-issue limited series will be written by Christopher Cantwell with art by Sean Izaakse. The comic spins out of Absolute Power and the DC All In Special.
The "terror of the Darkseid shock wave has cascaded across the DC Universe…tearing open the very fabric of time and space itself! Only one band of super-scientists have the right stuff to challenge the fate of a universe: the Challengers of the Unknown.
Ace Morgan, June Robbins, Prof Haley, Red Ryan, and Rocky Davis, adventurers “living on borrowed time,” run day-to-day operations for the Justice League’s Watchtower base in orbit above Earth, collaborating with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the League to seal the rifts that threaten the galaxy. But a mysterious foe from the Challengers’ past lurks in the shadows, and its connection to the Darkseid wave will put not only the Challengers, but all of the DC Universe on borrowed time."
Challengers of the Unknown #1 (of 5) goes on sale on December 18, 2024. The debut issue sports a main cover by Mike Deodato Jr., variant covers by Sean Izaakse and Romulo Fajardo Jr., Taurin Clarke, and Danny Earls, a foil variant cover by Gleb Melnikov, and a character design variant cover by Dan Mora.

It’s crazy, baby. Like nothing’s big enough to see anymore. Like I may as well have died in that old plane.

July 29th - Challengers of The Unknown
When four acquaintances miraculously survive a disastrous plane crash unscathed, they conclude that the quartet must be somehow ‘living on borrowed time.’ Furthermore, they decided to band together to utilize this time so to take on hazardous exploration and adventures. The four included expert veteran pilot Kyle ‘Ace’ Morgan, renown daredevil Matthew ‘Red’ Ryan, celebrated strongman Leslie ‘Rocky’ Davis, and the acclaimed scientist Walter ‘Prof’ Haley. Together they became the Challengers of the Unknown. Soon famous, the Challengers accepted many ‘unknown’ challenges assigned by The Pentagon or at the request of people in need. Over time the Challengers established the hollowed-out Challengers’ Mountain as their headquarters and base of operations. They encountered all manner of threats, from wizards, thieves and evil geniuses to aliens and deadly robots. Their adventures later veered toward superheroics, and they took on everything from occult menaces to Bermuda Triangle mysteries. The Challengers traveled through space, time, and other dimensions. They encountered the likes of the Doom Patrol, Deadman, Swamp Thing, and the Sea Devils (with whom they battled the criminal group known as Scorpio). The Challengers of The Unknown have since partially retired although Ace Morgan has remained active and shows up here and there. The group of heroes first appeared in the pages of Showcase #6 (1958).
