Powers and Abilities (Sunfire)
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.
Sunfire transferred his powers to Rogue in order to defeat Lady Deathstrike who had just cut off his legs. This (like Ms. Marvel before him) left him still a mutant but powerless. After his transformation into Famine, a Horseman of Apocalypse, his
powers and legs were returned, and he could now also use them to create
flashes of light that affected the sections of the human brain which
control hunger, causing any people who saw his light flashes to feel as
if they were starving.
Due to further genetic enhancement from Apocalypse, Sunfire is also
able to secrete a specialized bio-oxygen from his skin, which allows him
to breathe and conjure his flames even in in the vaccum of space.
Shiro also seems to be quite an accomplished martial artist. He has
displayed impressive hand to hand skills on several occasions and stated
that he didn't need to employ his powers in order to defeat Hand ninjas. He is trained in karate, judo, and kendo (Japanese Samurai
swordsmanship). He is also an expert in the combat use of his superhuman
powers. He has at least peak human physical ability.
Family
Shiro Yoshida (Sunfire) is the brother of Leyu Yoshida, alias the superheroine Sunpyre, who shares his flame-based powers. He is also the cousin of Wolverine's late fiancée Mariko Yashida and her half-brother the Silver Samurai.
Yashida and Yoshida seem to be different spellings of the same name.
While in his first appearance Sunfire was called Shiro Yoshida, in the
story arc that introduced his cousin, Mariko, his name was spelled
Yashida and this version of the name was carried on in Mariko's next
appearances.
In Other Media (Television)
- Sunfire guest-starred on the 1980s animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends in the episode "Sunfire", voiced by Jerry Dexter. In the episode, he and Firestar fell in love amidst their adventures with Firestar's friends Spider-Man and Iceman. His uncle Jin Ju plotted to use Sunfire and Firestar in his plan to hatch his fire monster. Sunfire and the Spider-Friends stopped the fire monster and Sunfire returned to Japan to have his uncle recover in a hospital.
- Sunfire makes many appearances in the X-Men series, however most of those were non-speaking cameos merely serving the purpose of a stock character. However, when Sunfire speaks, he is voiced by Dennis Akayama. He briefly appeared in the adaptation of The Dark Phoenix Saga in the episode "Child of Light" as one of the many Marvel heroes saving different parts of the world from catastrophe due to the corruption of the M'Kraan Crystal. He also had speaking roles in the episodes "Slave Island" and "Graduation Day" (where he had become a follower of Magneto). On the show, he was portrayed with an extremely thick Japanese accent.
