This month marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the introduction of the New Warriors. The team first appeared in December of 1989 in the pages of The Mighty Thor #411. The original team featured Night Thrasher, Speedball, Marvel Boy, Namorita, Nova, and Firestar coming together to help the Thunder God stop Juggernaut.

The New Warriors members Speedball, Darkhawk, Justice, and Rage first appeared outside the comics in the Fantastic Four episode "To Battle the Living Planet". However, the team's name was not used and they are otherwise implied to be members of the Avengers.

Most recently, the team was seen on Ultimate Spider-Man as a team formed by Spider-Man. This version is comprised of Agent Venom, Iron Spider, Ka-Zar, Zabu, Cloak, Dagger.
