Storyline

The Challengers meet Miklos, a diver who became a human sponge. His neighbor Stacy promises a cure for Miklos' condition, but he will need money to do it. Miklos heads downtown and begins to absorbs all color, sound, and even the Challs' strength, as Stacy robs a bank. Later, the Challs inform Miklos that Stacy is a crook and has no cure for him. Stunned, Miklos wanders in a daze, absorbing water by the ton and growing larger until the Challs dump sleeping pills into a lake to make Miklos sleepy. Miklos uses his abilities to douse a forest fire and save a child, then slinks off into the ocean.
