Shadow King (Shinobu Kageyama)

Shinobu Kageyama is a mutant telepath in Peach Momoko's reimagined Ultimate universe who leads the Children of the Atom, a mutant cult. He hosts a multiversal Shadow King entity that amplifies his powers, granting him psychic manipulation, lethal shadow projection, and the ability to awaken dormant X-genes in others.

Fresh from the pages of Peach Momoko's visually stunning Ultimate X-Men in 2024, this incarnation of Shadow King is a distinctly Modern Age Marvel creation — born into one of the most artistically distinctive relaunches in recent memory. With 25 catalog appearances already logged and a key issue to their name, Shadow King has quickly established a meaningful presence in Momoko's reimagined universe, sharing that striking world with characters like Armor, Hisako Ichiki, and Spider-Man. If you're following the bold new direction Momoko is charting for Marvel's mutant landscape, Shadow King is absolutely a figure worth watching.
