or he never believed it in the first place and has just been playing along til the time is right for him to strike.Īnd we know he has SOME kind of story planned for Shinobi, because in his resurrection issue-#3, remember that?- Shinobi gets that katana in Japan and there’s all these mysterious hints about it, and it clearly has nothing to do with Sebastian’s side of the family. We’ve yet to see if he BELIEVES the lie Sebastian told him about Emma and Kate being the ones to orchestrate his death, so my bet is that if he believes it, he’ll find out it’s a lie…. If anything, I think it’s more likely Shinobi is going to turn on Sebastian. Not to mention he’s depicted building a bond with Christian WITHOUT him being depicted as some evil rival for Bobby over it.ĭuggan is VERY unsubtle about his villains-not just Sebastian, but also the Struckers, the Verendi kids, that Chinese lady-so I don’t think he’s going to pull a fast one with Shinobi turning into The Big Bad All Along. Not only has Shinobi not done a SINGLE malicious little thing at all so far, there’s a scene to specifically CONFIRM that he wasn’t involved in Kate’s murder and had NO knowledge of it.
The character is usually depicted as an adversary of the X-Men and their affiliated teams. One thing I do like that Duggan is doing (yes, I can be fair to him!) is he seems to be going for a sympathetic storyline for Shinobi. Shinobi Shaw, also known as a Black King of the Hellfire Club, is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. If and when Leland is actually revived, it'll be interesting to see if there is indeed a connection between the two men and what kind of effect it has on the Black Bishop, as well as any plans he and Sebastian Shaw had been formulating.Okay, one more thing-one more!-and then I will get to ask replies! This could also throw further dissent into one corner of the Hellfire Trading Corporation, allowing Emma Frost and Kate Pryde to further cement their place at the head of the group. It would be a perfect backstabbing moment from Leland against Shaw that took decades to unravel, and it would add a layer of tragedy to how both Shinobi and Leland briefly worked together as servants of Selene during the events of Necrosha, only to be unaware of their potential connection. Instead, it could be his old rival Leland, giving Leland a possible in with Shinobi if and when he is revived by the Five. RELATED: X-Men: Marvel Reveals The True POWER Of Krakoa's X-Factor TeamĮmma cheekily suggests that when Leland is revived, she'll have to introduce Shinobi to him, openly implying there may be a deeper connection between them and that Sebastian Shaw may not actually be Shinobi's birth-father. This isn't similar at all to Sebastian Shaw's mutant power to absorb and then rechannel kinetic energy - but it does bear a similarity to Leland's abilities, which gave him the power to control the molecular density of others. Shinobi possess the ability to manipulate molecular density - making himself intangible or super-durable as a result. While discussing the upcoming Hellfire Gala with Shinobi present, Emma notes the similarity in Shinobi's powers to another member of the now defunct-Hellfire Club: Harry Leland. But Emma might know an additional secret that only complicates matters even further. Shinobi is also now poised to take a far more important role in the Hellfire Corporation, as his father has been rendered more or less paralyzed by Emma and Kate Pryde as revenge for his assault on the latter. He's been restored on Krakoa as many other dead mutants have been, allowing him a fresh lease on life and a chance to remedy things with his father as the new Black Bishop of Shaw's corner of the Hellfire Trading Corporation. Shinobi's attempts to gain power only met with chaos and defeat, however, with the villain eventually dying by his own hand to avoid the wrath of Emma Frost. At various points, he's worked with him towards a common goal, and at others, he's worked to undermine and even assassinate his father. Born to an unnamed mother, Shinobi has proven to have a complicated relationship with his father over the years. Debuting in Chris Claremont, Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio's X-Factor #67 in 1991, Shinobi Shaw is the illegitimate son of Sabastian Shaw, the longtime Black King of the Hellfire Club and Hellfire Corporation.
