First! Black X-Dude and Billionaire Playboy Sunspot Appreciation 2021

I'm not sure you can really call him OG when you can clearly see in the OP alone that he's changed his style fricking loads over the years.

[Devaishwarya]

I miss-typed. I actually read him in the OG New Mutants.

OG means original and regardless of how many times he's changed his style, he will always be an original member of the New Mutants. That will never change

I first read Berto in New Mutants.
He was not really my favorite, often arrogant and prone to anger.
I was interested in his potential when he became Lord Imperial of the Hellfire Club, but it amounted to nothing, since the statut quo wanted Shaw alway come back as the man in charge.
It was in Avengers that Sunspot got the awesomeness to back up his bravado.

Ewing's Sunspot is my favorite version of the character, but to be fair it was all thanks to Hickman.
The first time he gave me chills was during Time Runs Out, when he was the one holding the Avengers together and trying to get the job done while Steve and Tony were acting like children.


As an Avenger, Berto got from my bottom 3 New Mutants to my top 3 Marvel characters. As an X-Man, he is still in the shadow of the Not New, Not Different.
Now that he is out of the Baby Team, I hope Hickman wll give him a similar moment again, maybe with calling the High Council out of their ****.

I gotta say, Roberto has got to be in the running for best dressed
It is high fashion, it is the moment, it is Mutant!

I think the look fits Bobby. I would have went with a different pattern (more gold or yellow) but it's not bad.

[taozen]

I was really hoping that Bobby would have won the X-Men team member vote. I guess there are not enough Sunspot fans out there. #crazypeople

With both Sunfire and Rogue on the team, his powers are a bit redundant. But by that logic, Rogue and Synch shouldn't be on the same team either...
I'm hoping Sunspot will have a bigger role in X-Corp, and/or whatever book Hickman is writing next. I'm ready for him to leave Sam alone and have a bigger role in the X-Books

You know Synch filled their black male quota.

You know Synch filled their black male quota.

God forbid they have more than one at a time. I’m also not a fan of how he is depicted lately. It’s like he has taken a step back in power and personality.

[cam18]

read him X-Force first then went back to New Mutants.......don't care about the Avengers like that so skipped that..
Wanted him to make the New X-Men team would have been nice and a real full circle moment.

[BroHomo]

I'm not a big fan of his Gala outfit...like how does it even go on? You'd think Roberto would really show off wgstva clothes horse he is but Judy wearing a sash and one pant leg???? Also whyyyyy is he already powered up? I feel artists/writers always have him in his Sunspot form to avoid coloring him incorrectly

I agree completely

[TraneTrax]

I agree about the coloring comment. I do like the outfit, because I think it looks like a solar flare, but I still feel he's a bit overdressed. I'd want him to be in whatever the himbo version of an Emma Frost outfit. I think it fits his character.

I was torn at first but actually like it because it reminds me of Reignfire a little.
