Comments:
The sons and daughter of the Challengers appear only in a fortune teller's story. The events of these predictions may or may not be accurate depictions of the future. As such they should be considered imaginary and not part of official Challengers of the Unknown continuity.
A sequel to this story, featuring the sons and daughter of the Challengers, appears in the first story of Challengers of the Unknown #39.
Synopsis:
After saving the life of fortune teller Madame Zaddum, the Challengers accept her offer to have their fortune told. Zaddum spins a story about the sons of the Challengers taking up in their fathers footsteps. Rocky wonders why his son is not included, until Zaddum tells him that he will have a daughter. The Challenger children team up to defeat a gang of crooks disguised as fishmen, succeeding with help from their dads. The Challengers choose to disbelieve Zaddum’s tale until her prediction of their night’s dinner comes true.
