Editing Shiro Yoshida (Earth-616) (section)

=== Origin and Revisions ===

Shiro Yoshida was born in Agarashima, Japan. His mother suffered radiation poisoning from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which resulted in Shiro being born a mutant with the ability to absorb and manipulate solar radiation. Tragically, his mother died from radiation poisoning when he was young.

Sunfire's origin story has remained relatively consistent, with minor revisions and additions over time. One notable change occurred in 2006 when Apocalypse amplified his powers, causing his body to be constantly engulfed in flames. This resulted in a significant shift in his appearance and abilities, aligning him more closely with his Age of Apocalypse counterpart.

In the Age of Apocalypse reality, Sunfire was already in this state due to the experiments of Maximus the Mad. This forced him to wear a containment suit. In the Earth X reality, Sunfire leads a team of heroes called Xen and has a son who inherits his powers and codename, becoming Lord Sunfire. However, in an alternate reality where Deadpool leads a revival of the X-Men, Sunfire dies alongside most of his teammates at the hands of Agent Zero.
