In 1989, Hero Games/I.C.E. published a fourth edition of Champions, and many adventures followed, including 1990's Invaders from Below, a 64-page softcover book written by Scott Paul Maykrantz, with interior illustrations by Colleen Doran, and cover art by Jackson Guice and Alfred Ramirez.

Sean Holland reviewed the product in the February–March 1991 issue of White Wolf. [2] He stated that "While I just did not care for Invaders from Below, it does have some interesting ideas and some exciting adventuring possibilities (your heroes, trapped miles beneath the Earth, must escape). If your campaign needs a major change of pace, or if you like Molemen, this might just be what you are looking for." [2] He rated it overall 2 out of a possible 5 points. [2]
