So, eleven people had died. It was a crime in itself that this, of all ways, was how the Shrike found out the number. He never looked away from the casualties after he was involved in an operation. He didn't hide from the truth. In this case, though, James Jonnes had gotten the official numbers...

The recent excursion to break into the home of Giancarlo Impastato, alias the Stockbroker, had been a stark reminder to the man called Shrike that Pittsburgh had become the most dangerous city in America. Almost overnight, the boom in metahuman population had amplified the dangers faced by...

The Shrike's Tools The Shrike employs a select assortment of tools and weapons in his nightly war on metahuman crime, typically stashed in pouches and plastic compartments located along the harness, bracers, and greaves of the repurposed "Eagle" costumes that he owns. Several prototype costumes...

As the Shrike soared through the air, claws outstretched, time seemed to freeze. As he brought the talon down on Mary's neck, he was surprised to come up empty-handed, having struck only open air. Merely the faint silver outline remained, naught but insubstantial dust that covered his hand, then...

In the back of a modified black Man TGS Expedition camper truck surreptitiously parked under the Sixth Street bridge, a titanic man was at work at a powered lathe station. The camper was covered by an enormous tarp. Nobody got near. One by one, he manufactured serrated knives from the machine...

Ton by arduous ton, with his arms shaking, back aching, the Shrike persisted in his relentless effort to lift the ruinous wreck that trapped Giancarlo, alias the Stockbroker. He lifted with no thought of personal reward or karmic retaliation; there was only the mission. And sure enough, bit by...

The man the media had called 'the Unrelenting Shrike' was indeed nigh unstoppable in his forward charge. But he had been expecting the door to collide with the man on the other side - gambling that he'd be a brick, a pyrokinetic, a technopath - someone with easily breakable bones. Instead, he...

The Shrike relaxed his grip on the Italian's face to permit his response; but what was inflicted on the man was not fear, but indignation. And confidence, the likes of which he had only ever glimpsed in the eyes of other metahumans. Shrike had identified Giancarlo as meta-adjacent. What he did...

The Knife of Manhattan wasted no time in his ascent up the side of the mansion, evading the sweeping gaze of a rooftop security camera with practiced elegance that belied his brutish strength. Crouched low to the roof, he crept toward the promised skylight to begin his infiltration of the...

The Shrike flew. With uncontested strength, he kicked off the parapet of the US Steel Tower, the tallest building in Pittsburgh, his form as straight as an arrow. Beneath him, the city hummed with activity, even in the dead of night. Police sirens signaled acts of violence as the city's...
