They have uniforms instead of costumes (like "Star Trek" and "Stargate" and the way cop and military shows would if they were as realistic as "Star Trek" and "Stargate"). They don't have physics-defying super-powers, but they do have extraordinary expertise. The biggest obstacle to getting them on TV is that in the decades since they've been introduced, tons of shows have used their basic formula of professionals risking their lives confronting unprecedented dangers, including "X-Files", "Warehouse 13", etc. It's hard to impress kids with "Forbidden Planet" when they've grown up seeing "Avatar".pblfsdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471473189061385119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-5555912557968109802014-08-30T11:21:50.280-04:002014-08-30T11:21:50.280-04:00I don't know of any appearances outside of com...I don't know of any appearances outside of comics for the CotU nor have I noticed them in the new52 yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-32747065936501412622014-08-30T10:50:01.957-04:002014-08-30T10:50:01.957-04:00There was a mediocre 1977 paperback novel by Ron G...There was a mediocre <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Challengers-Unknown-Ron-Goulart/dp/0440113377" rel="nofollow">1977 paperback novel</a> by Ron Goulart, but aside from that, I don't think the Challs have ever appeared outside of comics. Were they ever in <i>Batman: the Brave and the Bold</i>? If not, then they may have been the only DC property that was never on that show.Bob Buethehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624148139233566430noreply@blogger.com
