Story Featuring Challengers of the Unknown

"DC once more --"

Storyline

Brought to a trashed laboratory, the Challengers hear a message from Scientist X telling the team they can find his valuable inventions by solving three clues. The Challs are bushwhacked by Dimension-Man, who wants the inventions for himself. To help him, D-Man pulls out of limbo the Iron Dictator. After the Challs decode the clues to the location of the inventions, Iron Dictator distracts them and D-Man knocks them out, making it appear that one of them is a traitor. But the Challs refuse to fall for it, defeat the Iron Dictator's neo-Nazis, and make Scientist X's headquarters their new home.
