Real Name: Roberto DaCostaRoberto first appeared when his neighborhood was under attack by the madman called Sinister, who had succesfully killed four mutants in the name of Apocalypse. With nobody on the streets to make it safe again for the mutants living there, Roberto decided to use his powers for good and patrol on his own. When the X-Men found Roberto he told them he despised them for not trying to help sooner. After a short battle, he left the scene in anger.
He was eventually found by Emma Frost and invited to study at her school called the Academy of Tomorrow. There, he gained a uniform of his own and began thinking about using the codename “Sunspot”. He later helped his team prove the innocence of his teammate Lorna and also attended a school dance.
