Synopsis
Felix Hesse, a German scientist, comes pleading to the Challengers to save him from Ultivac, "a creature of my own making... but now out of control!" He explains. Interned as a war criminal, he met Floyd Barker, a bank robber. Released, they team to build a giant machine - Suddenly a giant robot hand crashes through the window and seizes Hesse. Spouting propellers, it flies off with Hesse. The Challengers have their next job, "Track down Ultivac!"
Notes
Possible Stein inks per Mark Evanier and Nick Caputo. Although Stein had conversations with Greg Theakston denying he inked any Challengers stories it's possible Stein forgot he worked on them. It also looks like Kirby inked a few pages on his own. Possible Wood script and Kirby revisions per Mark Evanier and Nick Caputo.

Synopsis
The Challengers consult Director June Robbins, computer expert. She deduces radioactive materials have given Ultivac super-intelligence. She runs a computation to find their odds, and the card reads, "ULTIVAC WILL FALL WHEN A CHALLENGER DIES!" Meanwhile, Hesse watches Ultivac build robot-duplicates of Hesse to fetch supplies. Red and June respond to a lead, sneak onto Hesse's copter, and enter Ultivac's lab. But the robot can "DETECT YOUR THOUGHTS!". Ultivac senses June is not afraid, and they talk. Until Red smashes a power unit and they flee in the confusion.

Synopsis
June argues "Ultivac is a scientific marvel". The robot swims out. Ashore, Red shoots while Rocky attaches a magnetic bomb that destroys Ultivac. Not. Ultivac sent out a decoy. June convinces him "Wars never solve anything!" and Ultivac agrees to a televised public hearing, and pledges to help humanity. Hesse blasts Ultivac and Rocky - who dies on the operating table, as foretold. June offers to take Rocky's place, and the Challs agree, until Rocky miraculously revives. Ultivac ends up a stationary calculating machine, his spark gone, yet "still contributing to man's knowledge".
