Founded in 2009, the NYI was featured in the Documentary "Superheroes" by Michael Barnett, which premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
Co-founder Jack Zero moved on from the NYI in 2013 to found T.R.I.B.E., a group with similar goals to the original NYI, but with absolutely no superhero-style imagery.
In April of 2016, former member Dark Guardian left to start his own team, the New York Ronin.
