History
Colonel[citation needed] Kyle Morgan was a skilled pilot in the United States Air Force. He flew jets in various conflicts but has now left the service. Ace was En route to appear on the radio program but was involved in a plane crash but miraculously survives along with three other men. The other men consisted of Olympic wrestling champion Lester "Rocky" Davis, master skin diver Walter "Prof" Haley, circus daredevil Matthew "Red" Ryan. The four survivors decided that they were now all living 'on borrowed time'and banded together to start their adventuring career as the Challengers of the Unknown.
Ace was the de facto team leader on several missions. Though having fought the good fight for several years now, Ace and the other Challengers of the Unknown are still active. For a brief time, Ace developed an interest in spiritualism and magic, but recently returned to his old classic-style heroic ways again.
