    The X-Men meet Sunfire for the first time.

    Sunfire appears in New York City and destroy a monument, while his father speaks. Iceman, Beast and Angel fight him, but he manages to escape, after seriously injuring Beast.

    Latter, in Shiro Yoshida's place, he is talking to his uncle, about how the US destroyed Hisoshima with the nuclear bomb, which affects his mother and made him a mutant. In the past, Shiro had sworn that he would make the Americans pay for what they have done to his country.
