Who is he: Todd Arliss, olympic swimmer who got the super-villian
treatment from Dr. Dorcas. What does he do: Eat, swim and get beaten by Namor on a regular
basis. Met in: He met Nita in Ms. Marvel #16, April 1978. Why'd they fight: He kidnapped Namorita once to use against Namor.
This was back in the day when Nita was little more then an extra in
Sub-Mariner's storyline. She was saved by the original Ms. Marvel. Where'd he go: Todd next appeared in Avengers #222, then went on
to show up in the pages of Namor and eventually became a regular foe of the
Thunderbolts.
Terrax
Who is he: Tyros. What does he do: Alien mutant and earth elemental with cosmic power thanks to Galactus. Met in: New Warriors #1, 15-16 Why'd they fight: This is where the Warriors started. Thrasher
had contacted Marvel Boy, Firestar and Nova about forming a team of heroes.
When Terrax was brought back from the dead by a Genetech soil analyzer
(he died in Fantastic Four #260) Thrash and his team showed up. Nita
was also on hand on a school tour and Speedball happened to be nearby at the
time. They were able to defeat this cosmic menace because he was still
rather weak after coming back from the dead, and he needed to be in contact
with the ground to draw power. After the fight the Avengers showed up and
hogged all the media coverage over the victory. Speedball and Nita joined
Thrash and crew and the New Warriors were born. Later on Genetech head
Harnom Firmitz would merge with the remains of Terrax, hoping to gain
super powers. It just brought Terrax back again. This time he was a little
more powerful, but still couldn't travel in space unaided. After fighting
the Warriors, Psionex and the Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer showed up
and grabbed him and dropped him on an uninhabbited planet. Where'd he go: Terrax showed up the pages of the Silver Surfer,
fighting the latest Herald of Galactus, Morg.
The Juggernaut
Who is he: Cain Marko. What does he do: Unstoppable muscle man. Met in: Mighty Thor #411-412, New Warriors #11-13 Why'd they fight: During the Acts of Vengence, Loki freed Juggernaut
to get him to take down Thor. Thor was already weakened, and was being
beaten when the Warriors showed up and gave Cain a good laugh. The Warriors
didn't stand a chance, but when they were distracting Juggernaut, Thor
managed to whip out his god-force and they banished him to another
dimension for a while. They met again in the alternate reality created
by the Sphinx in New Warriors #11-13, where Cain was actually an ally
of Marvel Boy and Firestar in the mutant underground led by Magneto. Where'd he go: Cain showed up again in Mighty Thor #428.
Star Thief
Who is he: Ditmal Pirvat What does he do: Cosmic powered energy dude who hates space
exploration. Met in: New Warriors #5-6, Nova #13 Why'd they fight: Ditmal's family was hit by malfunctioning ozone
layer analyzer satellite in India while on a family drive. They died and
he turned into a glowing cosmic powered guy. He decided to stop man from
messing with space exploration. While the Warriors were investigating the
launch of a shady rocket by Stane International, the Star Thief showed up to
destroy the rocket. During the fight Nita, Marvel Boy and Firestar were
inside the rocket with Star Thief when it was launched. Ends up the Rocket
was full of poison and was targeted to hit the Inhumans home on the moon.
Lockjaw transported the bunch of them to the Inhumans home while the rocket
was still on it's way and they eventually decided that the rocket needed
to be destroyed, which Blackbolt, Firestar and Star Thief did together.
Ditmal decided to stay with the Inhumans, and Lockjaw teleported the
Warriors back to the Crash Pad. Star Thief showed up again in issue 13
of Nova, where he aided Nova when showed up on the moon. Where'd he go: Even with the Inhumans having moved back to Earth
and getting their own series, Ditmal has never shown up again. Best guess
is that he left their company while they were still on the moon.
The White Queen
Who is she: Emma Frost What does she do: Mentalist leader of the Hellions, and later
Generation X. Met in: New Warriors #9-10, New Warriors II #5 - February 2000 Why'd they fight: Firestar was once a student of Emma's. Emma
attacked Night Thrasher and Silhouette along with her Hellions Beef,
Bevatron, Catseye, Jetstream, Roulette, Tarot. It seems they discovered
that Thrasher hacked into their computers in order to find out who Firestar
was in issue #1, and were ticked off. The rest of the New Warriors came to
the rescue. Tai and the Queen decided to let the Hellions and Warriors duke
it out, to see who would get Firestar. The Warriors won and the White Queen
left with her students. The Warriors met her again when she lead Generation
X to stop Fletcher Traynor from killing Namorita, but Fletcher had
become Biohazard. In the confrontation over who should stop Biohazard, the
Warriors and Generation X fought. Where'd she go: Her hellions died in the pages of the Uncanny X-Men,
then she played body swap with Iceman for a while. During the whole
crossover that led into the creation of Generation X she teamed up with
Banshee and Jubilee and eventually ended up running Generation X.

Who is he: The ever-lovin blue eyed Ben Grimm. What does he do: Test pilot turned brick hero. Met in: Fantastic Four #356 - September 1991 Why'd they fight: The Puppet Master mind controlled Marvel Boy into
kidnapping Alica Storm, because he suspects that something is wrong with
her. When the Human Torch tries to rescue her they fight and Firestar,
Namorita, Night Thrasher and Nova join in. Then Ben, Mister Fantastic and
the Invisible Woman show up and take Torch's side. Speedball actually gets
in a good shot or two against Ben and Mister Fantastic. Eventually
they discover the Puppet Master and team up against him. This story leads
up to the stunning revelation in a few issues that Alicia is really a
Skrull spy, and has been since the Secret Wars. This story seems to
take place around issue 14 of the New Warriors story, but has some
problems. In issue 14 Namorita is beaten up and has her hair cut by the
Sea Urchin, then Nova gets his blue suit. But in this story Nova has his
blue suit, but Namorita still has long hair and looks fine! Where'd he go: Ben next appeared in issue #357.
