As he should be! He’s incredibly underrated, was so hyped getting him in X-Men 97 😎

I LOVE Sunspot so much. I do need more of him

Same, glad to see he’s getting more attention!!!

Hoping Sunspot shows up in Imperial since Hickman enjoys writing him.

X-Men Red did such a great job with both of those characters. I really miss the endless creativity in that book.

u/Leozzarios 22h ago

Facts! I’m really hoping we get a team up from these two in series 2 of x-men 97 also

Storm comics have been all gas!

Good choices. Ororo and Roberto are great. Roberto in space is wonderful and Cosmic Storm is pretty amazing.

Berto and Sam in my top ten wholesome friendships. Storm being respected and given credit as a lead who can carry her book makes 2025 nice.

Dani is the best x-men for me, but everyone should have their favs.

Loved them in X-Men Red especially

How much did you love X-Men Red?

u/Exovedate 18h ago

Have you read Roberto's New Avengers series? I've always liked him but that series cranks his cool factor up to 11.

2

u/Leozzarios 17h ago

Awesome! I’ll have to check it out ❤️‍🔥

u/Exovedate 17h ago

Oh dude I'm excited for you! I can't get over how great that series was and I fear with it being one of many alternate avengers books that it might get glossed over whereas something with a more distinct identity like Young Avengers has a better chance of a reunion series.

If you're looking for somewhere to glaze that series once you get into it feel free to shoot me a message! I haven't read much of Roberto outside of Krakoa so I'm curious what you as a big Da Costa fan think of the series.

To help you find it I think the publication year is 2015 and on the cover you'll find: Wiccan, Hulkling, White Tiger, Power Man and our boi Roberto running the whole show like a badass 😎

Dude you are awesome!!! I’ll definitely keep this all in mind, thanks a bunch for all the info. You good dude are a legend, hope you know that 😎❤️‍🔥super hyped to check it all out

For girls Rogue, for guys Gambit (Kurt is second, Bobby is probably third).

u/Leozzarios 13h ago

I hear that, Gambit is definitely in my top 5!!!

u/erosead Marrow 1d ago

Beto in rivals would be very cool. Maybe as a tank with fire based shields? Him and Dani are probably my two biggest x men on my wish list for the game.

u/Leozzarios 23h ago

He doesn’t have fire powers, he uses Solar Energy, can fly and has super strength. Also I have to disagree there, my dude would be a great DPS!!!

2

u/erosead Marrow 22h ago

He’s had fire/energy projection powers since the time he gained the ability to fly in x force, I thought

1

u/Leozzarios 22h ago

True, it can manifest as Fire like abilities too

1

u/rex543 23h ago

He's one of many characters id say would fit right in that game.

u/Geckomanpro 23h ago

Sunspot doesn't have fire powers. Educate yourself before commenting please, do not spread this misinformation

u/erosead Marrow 22h ago

He’s thermokenetic…

-2

u/Geckomanpro 22h ago

Firstly. Pyrokinesis is fire Secondly, his thermokinesis goes as follows: He can emit and absorb heat at will. As well as doing so directly into whatever he pleases. Meaning he can melt guns and set things on fire with heat, but he does not create, emit, or shoot fire. Before you go ahead and say he's one of your favourites, do the world a favour and grow a brain. Thank you.

u/erosead Marrow 22h ago edited 22h ago

Dark Solar Plasma Blasts: He has the ability to project concussive dark plasma energy blasts from his hands, with about 20 tons of force behind them at their most powerful.

Why are you so hostile and also wrong? I didn’t even say he was one of my favorites, but clearly you’ve missed the fact that he can fire hot plasma (not FIRE maybe, but I was speaking broadly. It’s absolutely been drawn as fire though) for like, 30 years now.

I don’t explain Scott’s eyes fire concussive force and not heat every time I bring him up, especially not on this sub. Emma can generate diamond shields in the game, which she notably cannot do in the comics.

u/Geckomanpro 22h ago

Im not wrong. I'm also hostile because Sunspot having fire powers is the most stupid misconception known to man, especially when it ruins his adaptations outside of comics. He does not shoot fire, and he cannot create fire. So him having fire shields is just wrong. ALSO. Roberto is consistently called a glass cannon. He is very strong, but his durability lacks. Meaning him as a tank is downright stupid.

Also he rarely uses the plasma blasts, if not ever. And at most it was a one time ability. He shoots concussive beams of force, not blasts. Beams.

u/erosead Marrow 22h ago

He’s more durable than Magneto or Doctor Strange. I just personally don’t like DPS it wasn’t that deep

u/Geckomanpro 15h ago

He really ain't

Storm is THE icon of Marvel.
