Night Thrasher, Speedball, Nova, Firestar, Marvel Boy and Namorita came together as the New Warriors during the late1980's cross-over event known as "Acts of Vengeance" and took on the unstoppable Juggernaut in issues #411 and #412 of the The Mighty Thor. The issues were written by Tom DeFalco, who assembled the team by scanning entries of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and finding characters he felt had been forgotten but were a part of the next generation of superheroes.
The appearance proved popular and plans were made for a spin-off as part of the informal "Heroes for the '90s" group of new comics Marvel debuted in the first six months of 1990. (The other new titles were RoboCop, Namor, Ghost Rider, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Spider-Man.) Amid derisive comparisons to the New Kids on the Block and predictions of failure before its release, The New Warriors hit comic stands in May 1990. The first issue was written by Fabian Nicieza, drawn by Mark Bagley, and edited by Danny Fingeroth.
To the surprise of its detractors, the comic became a hit, garnering an enthusiastic readership and strong sales. A second printing of the first issue was released in the summer of 1991. A trade paperback collection of the Thor appearances and the first four issues of New Warriors was published a year later, a decade before such repackaging became a standard in the comic industry. (The trade New Warriors: Beginnings has since gone out-of-print.)
