Synopsis:
After saving the lives of the Challengers of the Unknown by aiding them in an inconclusive battle against their arch-enemies, the League of Challenger-Haters, the Doom Patrol again teams up with the famed "Death-Cheaters" when the Challenger-Haters return with a new scheme. The villains use Kra's alien science to revive the army of an ancient Atlantean civilization and unleash it against present-day civilization. The Chief recruits Mento and Beast Boy to help, and all ten heroes battle Multi-Man and his followers in their base on the ocean floor. Eventually, the Challenger-Haters are beaten and the ancient army crumbles to dust.
