Prof Davis and his teammates in the Challengers of the Unknown as well as Hourman and his allies in the Minute-Men of America were tasked with hunting down various mad scientists and would-be supervillains. However, such as task was to… well… challenging for these fantastic foursomes, as they tackled threats from across the United States and worldwide! Each team has resident experts in various fields, but were in need of a communication network.

The Earth-One Challengers consisted of Walter “Prof” Davis (expert deep sea diver and resident scientist), Matthew “Red” Ryan (expert mountain climber and electronics expert), Lester “Rocky” Davis )professional boxer), and Kyle “Ace” Morgan (professional pilot and tram leader). The Earth-Two Minute-Men were composed of Rex “Hourman” Tyler (team mentor and master chemist), Jimmy “Minite-Man” Martin (team leader and ham radio expert), Thorndyke “Second Sweep” Tompkins (amateur sidekick and rough-houser), and Les “Sparks” Watts (amateur pilot and ham radio expert),
And so, the Challenger Corps was founded by several civilians from across Earth-One whom the Challengers of the Unknown had saved in the past. Its most well known member was Count Anthony Dragio, who was pursued by an ancient evil eye automaton which sought out he and his family. And the Minute-Men of America grew from its mentor and three core members to include Rodney Moravsn, who the lads along with Hourman helped. These numerous non-combatants became the information network their heroic teams needed to coordinate their activities where needed.
Both the Challenger Corps and the Minute-Men were short-lived footnotes in the history of Prof and his colleagues as well as Hourman and his sidekicks. Much of their contributions were undoubtedly behind the scenes, as their costumed role models seemingly appeared to address various and divergent threats without any previous interaction with these adversaries. Indeed, they were testaments to the impact heroes make on the lives of primary men who do extraordinary things for their fellow man!
