Part One: The Ring
Someone threw himself into the arena. Three men jumped after him, wrestled him to the ground, and hauled him out a door in the side Peter hadn't even seen. It was then that Peter realized what it was the crowd was chanting.

Shatterstar. Shatterstar. Shatterstar.

Part Two: Welcome to the X-Men (Hope They Survive the Experience)
"I'm not naked. I am wearing these funny little--" words seemed to fail him as he plucked at the briefs, "--and this." He yanked at the T-shirt. "That is plenty. I am completely covered. Believe me, I have fought naked and this is not it."

Part Three: Origins
Scott grinned and pointed at the headline. "'Woman's twins are abducted by aliens. Alien baby put into her womb in their place.'"

Shatterstar eyed the picture of a hysterical woman. "I'm an alien?"

Part Four: Home
Shatterstar shrugged. He set his sword aside, putting both hands on the wall, hunching his shoulders. "I do not belong here. I do not think anyone likes me."

Peter cringed inwardly. "People like you . . ."

"No. I have not gotten any fanmail since I got here, and you are always telling me that I am not attractive, and--"

Part Five: Mojoworld
Shatterstar was wearing underwear. His hair was down, wet, and he had a sword in each hand. "I cannot wear those clothes."

Bozhe moi. "Why not?"

"I cannot move in those clothes. What if Mojo attacks?"
