		The Challengers appeared to have everything, but when their raison d'etre was destroyed, they realized they were living in a fantasy and were not really fully-realized people at all.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Challengers of the Unknown
		The Challengers were Ace Morgan (crackerjack test pilot), Red Ryan (mountain climber and all-'round daredevil), Rocky Davis (heavyweight boxing champ) and Prof Haley (scientist specializing in underwater exploration).
		During their first dozen appearances, The Challengers faced a wide variety of dangerous menaces — humongous robots, prehistoric eggs about to hatch into monsters, powerful aliens that wanted to keep them as pets, time-traveling criminals … It was kind of like a dry run for Kirby's later Fantastic Four.
		The Challengers did well enough under the editorship of Jack Schiff, the man who had guided the Batman line since the 1940s.

		In 1957 comics legend Kirby created the Challengers of the Unknown, a team of four adventurers who, having survived what should have been a fatal plane crash, devoted their lives to heedless risk taking since they were, as the scripts repeatedly iterated, living on borrowed time, anyway.
		The Challengers' longevity--attempts to revive the strip continue to this day--testifies to the strength of Kirby's concept.
		The Challengers of the Unkown were a group of adventurers who on the way to a tv show about them are involved in a horrible plane crash.

		Meanwhile, five people are having the same waking dreams of confusion and chaos, which leads them all to gather together — after donning sunglasses and trench coats, like you do in these situations - at what will be the site of a terrorist attack.
		And now we have Howard Chaykin's CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN, which has as little in common with the original team using that name as a lemon has with a rabbit.
		We discover, for instance, that each of the five Challengers (or whatever they end up calling themselves collectively) has had disturbing dreams and that each has experienced a moment in which they have these dreams while awake.

		And all these divisions cut across one another: for example, the army of the republican challenger, Cromwell, was the main home of the Levellers, yet Cromwell in turn would act to destroy their power within the army's ranks.
		But this is naïve: unless people share the same moral ideas, not just at the level of general principles but also at the level of individual judgment, then the challenge he poses remains unsolved: human beings who lack some shared authority are almost certain to fall into dangerous and deadly conflict.
		But when civil conflict and the state of nature threaten, in other words when government is failing, then we might reasonably think that political unity is as morally important as Hobbes always suggests.

		The protagonists possessed no powers beyond their own natural-born brains and/or brawn, yet they wore costumes and were outfitted with enough gadgets and gewgaws to do Batman proud." The DC Encyclopedia entry notes the Challengers bridged the gap between the 1940s "mystery men" and the 1960s supermen.
		As John Morrow notes in the Foreword to COTU Archives Volume 2, Jack's story "The Menace of the Invincible Challenger" had appeared three years earlier with almost the same characters.

		Ace explains that while they were tending to their captive arch-foes, the Challenger-Haters, on the latter's prison island, Rocky was attacked by an android "rabbit" created by Multi-Man, which cut off his arm's circulation and threatened to kill the arm.
		But he then loosed a flock of killer android rabbits on the Challengers, and the villainous band made their escape while the heroes lay near death.
		The Challengers were never as good as the Doom Patrol, IMHO (although the Jack Kirby issues were really nice), but Drake was writing both books at the time and managed to pull this one off decently.

		The premise and the characters have no concrete link to previous incarnations of the Challengers of the Unknown, save for the fact that the characters are all exceptional human beings.
		Given the prominent role the original Challengers characters are playing in DC: The New Frontier at the moment, I don't know that unveiling a new version of the team right now is a good idea.
		In fact, Chaykin needn't have named this Challengers of the Unknown at all; aside from the title, this comes off as a wholly original book, and I don't know that the resurrection of a somewhat obscure DC brand will draw in that many readers.
