Synopsis
Noel Saxon has dogged the Challengers since their inception. He's an Anti-Challenger, resisting all efforts to probe the unknown. After Saxon was sucked into a Tesla field, some punks conjured him back to this world. When he is invited to a meeting of the Aristos cult, the Eye of the Dark Flame reveals he was also aboard the jet that crashed, but he turned away from the life-altering light. The flame chooses Saxon as its champion but he rejects demon worship and shoots the place up. But his sister Becky is a cultist who tried to sell his soul to save their dying father. Saxon strangles her.

Indexer Notes

According to CSInsider! interviews with Steven Grant, this issue was to be a prologue to a mini-epic, but the series was cancelled.
