SHINOBI SHAW


 

SHINOBI SHAW

Real Name: Shinobi Shaw
First Appearance: X-Factor (Vol. 1) #67, June 1991

Powers: Shinobi Shaw's mutant ability is to manipulate and control his own molecular density. He is able to make his body become intangible or diamond-hard at will. This effect seems to be energy based, as he tends to produce a signature glow whenever a portion of his body contacts something while in his phased state. If so, his high-density form is probably reinforced not with additional mass but with solid energy, similar to the constructs made by Quasar or others.

Shinobi is able to move through walls and avoid injury while intangible, and he can also interrupt the internal structure of living beings by passing his hands into their bodies, disrupting their molecules to cause intense sensations of pain. He claims to be capable of inter-phasing, reaching into someone's body and pulling their heart intangibly through their chest.

He's the illegitimate mutant son of Sebastian Shaw and an Asian woman. Grew up resenting his father for his abusive treatment. So he made his own company, bought out his dad's holdings from right under his nose, then killed him (or so he thought). A member of the Upstarts, he was also a childhood acquaintance of Archangel.

He's currently on Krakoa.
