 Getting his 'nom-de-crime' from a shiv (a kind of bladed weapon), Shiv (voiced by Brian Tochi) is the immature jokester of the Meta-Breed; in fact, when he encountered the Joker, he tells the villain ""Big fan, big fan..."".He has been described as insane by both fans and creators of the show and comics.Shiv may be one of the many Bang Babies whose mental health was affected by the Big Bang, but this is never confirmed; he may simply just be an eccentric, childish jokester.
