Challengers of the Unknown (DC, 1958 series) #33 (August-September 1963) — The Challengers Meet Their Master
Synopsis
The Challengers hunt criminal Jacquard, who challenges each hero to beat him at his specialty. Prof loses at a skin-diving competition, Red fails at mountain-climbing, and Rocky gets conked out in a wrestling match. Shaken, the guys decide Ace is teaching them a lesson about overconfidence, until they see Ace lose a dogfight to Jacquard. The guys are distraught until they learn Ace did fake the crash to teach them a lesson, as he actually captured Jacquard days ago. But the villain has escaped and attacks the Challs. Prof triggers the sprinkler system to short out the electrified villain.
