Marvel Legends X-Men ’97 Sunspot
Sunspot, real name Roberto da Costa, is a Brazilian mutant introduced as a core new member of the X-Men in the Disney+ series X-Men ’97. He joins the team as a young recruit, echoing a classic “point of view” role similar to Jubilee in the original 1990s animated series, providing audiences with insight into the world of the X-Men through fresh eyes.
Raised in a wealthy family in Brazil, Roberto is an exceptional athlete and skilled soccer player whose mutant powers first manifest during a traumatic confrontation with racist bullies. His X-gene activates under this stress, allowing him to transform his body into a form of pure, solid black solar energy—granting him superhuman physical strength and the ability to absorb and manipulate solar power. In X-Men ’97, he is shown struggling with his powers and the tragic loss of his girlfriend Juliana, who is killed protecting him just as his mutation emerges.
Powers and Abilities:
- Solar Absorption and Manipulation: Sunspot can absorb solar energy, which he can then convert into enhanced strength, durability, and bursts of energy.
- Heat Immunity: He is immune to extreme heat and solar radiation.
- Thermokinesis: Sunspot has limited control over temperature, allowing him to affect his environment.
- Flight: By channeling solar energy, he can levitate and fly for short distances.
Role in X-Men ’97:
Roberto enters Xavier’s School as a newcomer rescued from anti-mutant extremists, and gradually finds acceptance and belonging with the X-Men. His story arc focuses on adapting to his powers, overcoming grief, and rising to the challenge of being a hero. Sunspot is portrayed as earnest, conflicted, and deeply committed to supporting his friends and the X-Men’s ideals. He serves as both a relatable entry point for viewers and an example of the diversity and resilience that define the mutant community in the series.
