From publisher blurb: Family First! The Challengers aren’t just a tight-knit group of heroes with a shared history, they’re also a family. Though Byron Stern (Brute), Amber Gale (Ember), Savannah Gale (Veil), and Richard "Dick" Hughes (Expansion Man) didn’t intend to become heroes, they took to the roles thrust upon them with passion and dedication. From their debut protecting New York City from an invasion by Atlantis to thwarting alien invasions, discovering long-lost civilizations, making peace with interstellar sun-eaters, and even curing the common cold, the Challengers soon became known as one of the premiere go-to teams for facing any threat.
