Imagine stanning Sebastian Shaw LOL.
Has there ever been a plot in which Shaw was not a big bad wannabe in which he ended up pathetically humiliated?
Back in the 90's comics I think. Or maybe the 80's. They blur together for some characters.
He was an equal to Emma at one point & they had a legit power struggle, I think. But Emma is a woman & more popular, so Shaw is not ever gonna be her equal or cause her much trouble.
He's in the club with Sabretooth. Once upon a time, he used to be competent too. lol
In addition to being in the same club, hopefully he'll be in the same pit too. Which would be good because I am waiting for at least 1 other villain to get tossed down there.

I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

Children of the atom starts in January.
Shaw was great and a formidable enemy in the 80´s now he is nothing than a misogynist
It is a shame. I liked him more as a ruthless businessman with military industrial interests, and his network(Tessa and the various Inner Circles). Like, the real Illuminati. Since Emma shed her classical characterization, he's somehow become the center of all evil and his more competent and compelling aspects were lost. We just had an issues with Emma killing him just before this Hickman Era. I don't understand why we had to do it all over again, but decompressed over 12 or 18 issues(and not even bothering to add some thoughtful complexities along the way).
Hickman himself addressed this in his intro story when Xavier recruits Emma and stipulates Shaw gas to be involved too. Why not just have Remy handle the black market distribution? His Guild networks would've had plenty of experience in moving goods. Gambit and Rogue running a pirate shipping company sounds even better than this Emma and Kitty nonsense. Xavier insisting on Shaw having a seat on the QC ultimately makes him responsible(wearing Cerebro all day and still can't understand people), or are they just saving that for next?
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
