UPSTARTS MONTH: SHINOBI SHAW

Post by Dean Clayton »

https://uncannyxmen.net/characters/shinobi-shaw
In remembrance of the fallen: 25 years ago, the Upstarts were disabled as a threat by the New Warriors and X-Force. The members scattered, many died, and the X-Men moved on to other threats. Recently, the Upstarts reformed for all of one last attack on the X-Men. They were soundly defeated and, again, many were apparently killed. Today begins our month long salute to a 90's concept that just didn't go anywhere, but still produced some amusing villains. In September we celebrate...UPSTARTS MONTH! We begin with a minor update on Shinobi Shaw, the first player we saw entering the Upstarts' game!

Great read, just one correction for the paragraph about the Childs Play crossover. The targets weren't X-Force and the New Warriors, but all the surviving members of the New Mutants and the Hellions, some of which were members of the New Warriors (Firestar) and X-Force (Warpath, Cannonball, Boomer, Rictor) But the villains also went after Magma, Empath, Karma and Moonstar.

Ah, the Upstarts. A metaphor for the tenures of Lee, Liefeld, Portacio, et. al. on the X-Titles.

They thought they were hot stuff, and that they could take out the classic characters. But they flamed out fast and have been largely forgotten since.
