Summary

The Upstarts continue their series of games to prove their power and worth to one another. This time, they devise "the Younghunt", a mission to capture all of the surviving members of the New Mutants (some of who are now members of X-Force) and the Hellions. This competition also brings the Upstarts into conflict with the New Warriors (as Firestar is a former Hellion). The Upstarts acquire most of their targets, who are pitted against X-Force and the New Warriors during the crossover's climax. However, Paige Guthrie, who secretly followed X-Force on the rescue mission, is able to convince the Gamesmaster to play another game-- instead of killing mutants, the Upstarts should compete with the mutant leaders of the world to try to find and train young mutants like herself. The Gamesmaster is intrigued by the proposition and cancels the competition. New Mutants is the name of two comic book series, published by Marvel Comics. ...

Trivia

• Sunspot was a surviving New Mutant who was not targeted by the Upstarts because he and Locus were lost in the timestream at that time.

• Rusty and Skids, also former New Mutants, were not targeted in the Younghunt, likely because of their affiliation with the Acoltyes and were under Magneto's protection, far from Earth on Avalon.

• Depending on Tarot's mysterious rebirth, which has not been fully explained, she may or may not have been alive and eligible for capture at the time of the Younghunt.

• Deceased members of the New Mutants and the Hellions certainly not available for capture include: Cypher, Warlock, Jetstream, Beef, Bevatron, Catseye, Roulette and Magik.

• This crossover marks the first time Karma reunited with the New Mutants since she left the team way back in New Mutants #54 (1987).

• The retcon of the origin of Nova Roma is very much a part of the storyline. (This retcon was in turn retconned in more recent comics.)

• As Husk, Paige Guthrie has powers extremely different that she exhibited in this storyline (where she shapeshifts into a bird at one point). This is likely attributable to the writer not being fully informed of the character's concept. Husk came to prominence a few months later during the Phalanx Covenant crossover and the formation of Generation X.

• Moonstar, still affiliated with the Mutant Liberation Front, unmasks herself to her former teammates during this crossover, and reveals that she is, in fact, Dani Moonstar and not an imposter. She maintains her cover and does not reveal she is working for S.H.I.E.L.D. to her teammates at this juncture.
