## **History**

### **Formation: 2015 - 2017**

* The story of their origin began on a fateful day when five strangers were aboard a plane that crashed in the Himalayas. Lucky to have survived the crash, the five strangers found themselves alone in a desolate and unfamiliar land. They realized that they had each been given a second chance at life, and that they had been chosen for a greater purpose. Together, they resolved to use their newfound lease on life to make a difference in the world. The strangers were Rocky Davis, an olympic triathlete; Ace Morgan, a skilled fighter pilot; Red Ryan, a circus daredevil; Prof Haley, a renowned scientist; and Doc Robbins, a successful robotics engineer. They realised that they shared a common goal: to use their individual talents and abilities to combat injustice and stand up for the oppressed.
	+ United in their mission, the Challengers of the Unknown were born. They soon embarked on a series of incredible adventures, facing danger and overcoming incredible odds as they fought to make the world a better place. From battling evil dictators to foiling the plans of mad scientists, the Challengers of the Unknown became known for their bravery, ingenuity, and unshakeable resolve.
* The team encountered a wide range of unusual and often bizarre threats, including creatures from other dimensions, ancient curses, and mystical artefacts with incredible power. As the Challengers of the Unknown delved deeper into their work, they quickly realised that the threats they were facing were not only strange and supernatural, but they also went unnoticed by other superhero teams such as the Justice League and the Titans. The Challengers knew that they were the only ones equipped to handle these unique and dangerous situations, and they took their responsibilities seriously.
* During this time, they caught the attention of the United States government, who saw in them a valuable asset in their efforts to combat the strange and supernatural threats that seemed to be increasing in frequency and intensity. The government agency known as A.R.G.U.S, which specialized in responding to threats that were beyond the scope of conventional law enforcement, approached the Challengers with an offer of association. Recognizing the importance of having a team of experts in the field of the paranormal, the government offered the Challengers financial backing and resources in exchange for their services.
	+ With the support of A.R.G.U.S, the Challengers set up their base of operations in a hollowed-out mountain, which they dubbed Challengers Mountain. This fortress was equipped with state-of-the-art technology, top-of-the-line equipment, and everything else the team needed to respond to any threat that might arise.

### **Challengers of the Unknown: 2018 - Present**

* The Challengers were contacted by Amanda Waller to alert them to a threat known as The Rainbow Creature which had entered Earth's upper atmosphere. They were tasked with locating and subduing the creature to then transport to an A.R.G.U.S facility for research.
* The Challengers, after successfully capturing a wild creature, planned to transport it to the A.R.G.U.S facility for containment and study. However, Ace, feeling uneasy about imprisoning the animal, expressed his concerns. Professor, understanding his viewpoint, reminded him of their agreement with Waller to catch and house the creature. Just then, the arrival of two Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, interrupted their discussion with a bright green glow. Hal greeted Ace, acknowledging their shared history, and John proceeded to remove the creature's restraints. Hal commended Ace for his superhero potential while the others debated the creature's fate with John.
* Ace, worried about Waller's reaction, questioned Hal about their plans for the creature. Hal explained that they would take it to Oa for evaluation and relocation. Ace expressed his concern, aware of Waller's disapproval. Hal assured Ace that Batman would handle Waller and her government connections. However, Ace noticed a yellow glint in Hal's eyes and inquired about his well-being. Hal claimed to be tired but reassured Ace before his mask reappeared and he transformed into Green Lantern mode. Hal and John flew into the sky, accompanied by the creature in a protective green bubble.
* As the team regrouped near their jet, Red jokingly mentioned that their afternoon was now free. Though relieved to have averted a disaster, they began arguing about who would have to break the news to Waller, anticipating her displeasure.
