Super Héros #7
In "L'homme traqué," the Challengers and June are drawn to a mysterious lab where a monkey’s sudden superpowers spark a chain of events that catapults Rocky into space—and into madness. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Roz Kirby, this 1980 Arédit-Artima issue delivers a gripping tale of unintended consequences, powered by a pill from a meteorite and a rocket ride gone wrong. The cover, by Steve Ditko, captures the tension of a man caught between power and peril.
In "Le challenger invincible," the Challengers and June are called to a lab where a monkey, enhanced by a meteorite-derived pill and a space trip, awakens with superpowers—only to fall into a coma. When Rocky takes the pill and rockets into space, he returns with powers but lost his mind. Now a dangerous, unstable force, he fights his teammates with freeze rays and invisibility before being taken in by a crook named Chopper. Though pushed to commit crimes, Rocky’s conscience resists, and when the Challengers and June return, he stands against the thugs—wounded, but finally remembering who he is.
In "Le faiseur de monstres," the Challengers face off against the ambitious Roc, who wields mind-over-matter to summon terrifying illusions like a giant ape and missiles. When the tide turns, the scientist behind the power source grants Ace the same ability, leading to a surreal clash of conjured beasts, knights, and bizarre machines—until Ace turns the tables with a hypnotic display of spinning circles.
