McLeod: Thanks! Well, we were thinking, do we want Sunspot to grow big like the Hulk when he uses his powers or stay little. I don’t know who came up with the dots. Probably not mine–that was probably Chris. I don’t remember, but we were just talking about different looks for Roberto. It was nice that we had a dark-skinned character for a change, because everyone was white in comics at that time pretty much. But I didn’t want him to look African-American because he’s Brazilian and half white. So I gave him kind of wavy hair and tried to give him a real specific look.
