Description
En route home, the X-Men are alerted to the appearance of the Japanese costumed mutant Sunfire. who attacks a ceremony at the United Nations. After an inconclusive battle, they drive off the flame-powered attacker. Sunfire, alias Shiro Yoshida, is actually the son of pacifist statesman Saburo Yoshida, egged on in his terrorist agenda by his Uncle Tomo. who persuades Shiro that Japan must be avenged for the American atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima, despite his father's urgings to the contrary. Sunfire's next attack comes when the Yoshida party goes to Washington, D.C. where Saburo will address Congress. The X-Men prevent Sunfire from destroying the Capitol building, then his father appears and attempts to dissuade him, whereupon Tomo shoots the diplomat. Furious, Sunfire instantly incinerates his uncle, then descends to bid farewell to his dying father. before allowing himself to be taken into custody.
