Sunspot, also known as Roberto da Costa, made his grand TV debut with the hit Disney+ series X-Men 97. A continuation of the hit 90s X-Men: The Animated Series, this new cartoon took the world by storm. Not only was the animated superb, but the series brought back most of the original voice actors as well as some new heroes to the team. One of which was Sunspot, who was reluctant to show off the fact that he was indeed a mutant. Even his own mother turned him over to Bastion's Sentinel program, almost marking him for certain death. Thankfully, the X-Men intervened.

His mutant ability allows him to absorb solar energy, granting him superhuman strength, flight, and the ability to project heat or concussive blasts. His body often turns pitch-black when his powers are activated, surrounded by a fiery glow. Towards the end of X-Men 97, fans got to see Sunspot in action, and now he has been faithfully brought to life by Diamond Select Toys. Limited to only 3,000 pieces, Sunspot stands at 6" tall, showcasing his mutant powers with a black and blue cel-shaded design with bubbling energy elements featured all over. Collectors can add Sunspot to their X-Men roster in Q3 2025, and pre-orders are already live for $90.
