While our heroic martial artists didn't, in fact, meet...
....they do realize that others like them were involved in the conflict, and that everything turned out well!
Iron Fist and Shang-Chi continue to be major players in the Marvel print multiverse, with both also being featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
But the Sons of the Tiger didn't quite hit that level of popularity, even though they saved the butts of both Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four's Human Torch...
...the group broke up and their amulets were found by Hector Ayala who utilized their power as the heroic White Tiger.
He was killed and his niece, FBI agent Angela Del Toro, became White Tiger II, until she was killed and resurrected by the ninjas known collectively as The Hand.
Hector's daughter, Ava is the current White Tiger (III), and a member of both Heroes for Hire and the Avengers!
Lin, Abe, and Bob all continue to infrequently-appear, but never together and never in costume.
In another weird note, as you see above and in the color version of the story featuring them, the Sons of the Tiger wear matching color costumes...
...much like the original X-Men's uniforms (and with a similar color scheme)!
But in the covers of their b/w magazine appearances, they all wear a similar design...but different color schemes (though they always have the red sashes denoting sensei status)...

...which are slightly-off-color model each time, even on the cover of the original b/w version of this three-part tale...
...which features Abe in a third version of his gi!
Well, that concludes our contribution to the RetroBlogs Summer Blogathon!
We hoped you enjoyed it and will bookmark this blog, because we have a lot more material (most of it never-reprinted) to re-present!
