They're like those fifties Space Explorer/Flash
Gordon thing going on for them, I gather.

It's a variation of the issue of What If? where the
FF didn't have powers and still defeated the likes of 
the Mole Man. 

...which was in turn a blatant take-off on the late-
fifties/early-sixties DC series "Challengers of the
Unknown", which very much emphasized brains over brawn.

If memory serves, the Challs' uniforms were a dull,
monochromatic maroon, festooned with utility belts,
sturdy hiking boots, etc.  That issue of "What if"
altered the FF's uniforms to look just like the Challs',
except for the color.

I was going to ask, D.B., if you were planning to add
the original Challs to the list of Dr. Doom's
adversaries, but I suppose you're not mixing D.C.
series into this one.
