Description

Magneto facing the All-New X-Men (Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Marvel Girl and Angel), Professor X contacting them telepathically, Sentinels, Polaris, Havok, Sunfire, Banshee, Thunderbird, Dazzler, Bishop, Psylocke, Jubilee, Phoenix, White Queen, Rogue, Forge, Gambit, Storm, Shadowcat, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Wolverine! Ummm…wow? Sunfire (Shiro Yoshida) is a temperamental and arrogant Japanese mutant who can generate superheated plasma and fly. Not suited for teamwork, Sunfire was only briefly a member of the X-Men and has kept limited ties to the team since. Sunfire is a mutant with the ability to absorb solar radiation, and convert it to ionize matter into a fiery plasma state which bursts into flame when exposed to oxygen. Referring to his plasma output as “solar fire”, he can release this energy though his hands as blasts of searing heat, deadly radiation, explosive concussive force, or simple flames. By ionizing the air around him, he can surround himself with an aura of heat intense enough to melt steel, or fly by focusing his aura downwards in a tight stream of ionized gas to propel him though the air like a rocket. Sunfire can see heat, by shifting his vision from visible light to infrared. Sunfire has the ability to form a psionic force field while using his plasma as protection from heat and radiation, both that of his own generation and that from outside sources. In a similar fashion to the Human Torch’s nova burst, Sunfire is capable of increasing his plasma output to temperatures around 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and emitting it as an onmidirectional blast.
