One of the Elders of the Universe, Champion has existed since the birth of the universe and travels the cosmos alongside his right-hand showwoman, Promoter. A cosmic conqueror obsessed with hand-to-hand combat, he journeys from planet to planet in search of worthy opponents.
Those who fail to satisfy his thirst for battle face the ultimate consequence: the destruction of their entire world.
And now, his next target has been chosen: Earth.
Under Promoter’s direction, the “Challenge of the Champion” tournament has been announced. Teams of four will battle through qualifiers, earning the right to face Champion himself. But is there more to this sinister game than just sport?
The Fighting Avengers enter the tournament as one of its leading contenders. More details about Champion will be revealed soon!
