Challenger Headquarters

Today's Challs


The B-Team Challengers run business out of their "posh West Coast offices" where "obviously no expense was spared!" According to Nina Justis, a self-proclaimed expose writer who tries to crack the new Challs' secrets (COTU V3 4.).

The door has a snazzy logo. On the walls are posters of the original and new Challs. An hourglass sits on a cabinet. And there are the inevitable ficus tree and other scraggly plants.

Mostly, it's just an office, surprisingly plain for such an exotic group.

Sarah Hargate is the Chall's business manager. As Nina bursts in, Sarah says, "I WISH Mr. Sands would let me keep that door locked." Mr. Sands is the financier of the B Team. Rocky consults with him off and on.

Sarah lists her chores. Maintain the website. Sort and reference emails. Pay bills. Oversee contracts for proposals. Arrange public appearances. Schedule appointments. Sarah has an MBA from Harvard and a law degree from the University of Chicago. (COTU V3 4.) She will admit, though, that sometimes she "hasn't a clue when they'll be back."

Let's assume they stop in once in a while to check the mail...


The team sometimes meets at the California estate of Mister Sands, their sponsor and benefactor.  Sands founded the new Challs with Rocky Davis's permission, and he pays the bills.

Later we learned Sands was also touched by the light during World War II, so investigating the unknown - or funding investigations - is a long-term project.


The original Challengers, meanwhile, crashed from Hypertime into the Planet Krypton restaurant in Metropolis. Don't worry. Rip Hunter, the owner and a time-traveler, knew it would happen and sent the staff home. With pay, no less (Superboy 65).

Since he's a student of Hypertime, Rip offers the sub-basement of the restaurant as "Hypertime Headquarters". Here the Challengers can employ Prof's Metron-enhanced knowledge, a handful of hyperium, and Rip's expertise to figure out a way to re-enter Hypertime. The goal is to rescue Red and return home June Walker (switched for June Robbins).

But really, as the team notes, their home is IN the unknown...
