The Nazis awaken, capture the Challengers, and plant a super-bomb onshore. The Challengers fight back and reach shore. Prof, who speaks German, heard they were on a secret mission to blow up the Eastern seaboard after the war. With captured weapons, the Challengers shoot back while Prof tries to disarm the bomb.

Characters: Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Prof Haley; Red Ryan]; Multi-Man; Multi-Woman

Synopsis: Multi-Man has broken jail, and the Challengers worry where he'll turn up. Soon they learn. Multi-Man launched a rocket with a death ray into space. He threatens to destroy property unless he gets his demands: his own recognized country where crime can run rampant! Meanwhile, the would-be tyrant is lonely. He builds a "queen", a giant female robot, then drinks Liquid Light to become a giant himself. When the Challengers finally track him down, Prof tries to dash the Liquid-Light antidote in his face, but is slapped down.

Notes: Script credit from Bob Hughes. The stories from this point become more traditional superhero-supervillain fights, as opposed to earlier adventures into the unknown. Much later, Kilowog builds a third Multi-Woman in Challengers of the Unknown (DC, 1991 series).

Title: Part 2: Queen of a Thousand Threats

Characters: Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Prof Haley; Red Ryan]; Multi-Man; Multi-Woman

Synopsis: The Challengers meet Multi-Woman! She can mechanically morph into a fish, grow wings and fly, and flame on and hurl fireballs. The Challengers dodge her as they finally splash Multi-Man with antidote. He shrinks to his usual form. Multi-Woman is disgusted at this "small and ugly" wretch. When she tries to kill Multi-Man, the villain appeals to the Challengers for help! Returning from the city, Ace drops a giant diamond necklace. What woman can resist diamonds? But when Multi-Woman wears it, Prof throws a switch. Ultrasonic vibrations rattle Multi-Woman to fragments. And Multi-Man got away!
