Synopsis:
The Challengers accompany Dr. Charles Ferriss on an expedition to locate an immortality elixir created by ancient alchemists. During the night, Ferriss’ assistant, Duncan Pramble, steals the map and locates the elixir. Drinking the potion of "liquid light", Pramble gains super powers and when he dies, he is reincarnated with a new power.

The Challs pursue Pramble, now dubbed Multi-Man, while the doctor creates an antidote. Multi-Man uses his powers to escape the Challengers and steal for his personal gain. He goes through two changes after dying, but the Challs are finally able to capture him alive, using the antidote to remove his powers.
