Powers

Evolution:

Due to the experiments Gideon preformed on Roberto when he was kidnapped, his mutant gene has and will continue to evolve over time. The evolution of his mutant gene has increased the powers and abilities he had prior to the kidnapping, while at the same time giving him new powers/abilities. Because of the evolution, he's become one of the most powerful beings in the Universe; putting in the class (strength and power wise) of the Hulk, Sentry, and Thor among others. As time passes, Roberto will get more powerful.

Superhuman Enhanced Olympic Conditioning:

Physically without the use of his powers, Roberto's conditioning is equal to that of a highly trained Olympic athlete. Haven been trained by Wolverine and other mutants plus Captain America, Black Panther and other members of the Avengers, has increased his conditioning to the peak of human potential.

His bodily functions (strength, speed, stamina, senses, agility, reflexes, accuracy, longevity, durability, intelligence, healing time, flexibility and combat skills) have been greatly heightened. As a result, his combat skills are advanced enough to defeat large groups of enemies.

Roberto's powers boost his conditioning to superhuman levels. His overall conditioning (physically and mentally) are greatly increased. His strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, and senses are raised to superhuman levels. The full extent of his condition isn't known.

Superhuman Strength:

Sunspot possess great (infinite) strength. He has the ability to augment (increase) his physical strength, by adding more energy to his cells. The original limits of his strength allowed him to lift 25 tons. Since then however, his strength has increased, allowing him to lift 50 tons effortlessly. Before, his superhuman strength could only be accessed when he was in his Solar Form, but Roberto has been seen using his superhuman strength when not in his Solar Form. The limits of his strength at this point are unknown both in his Solar Form and outside his Solar Form.

Enhanced Durability:

Sunspot has tougher/denser bones and muscles then normal humans. Although Sunspot has not been seen deflecting bullets, his durability provides his body with the needed protection to be able to lift the massive weights. His team mates would remind him that he was super strong but not super durable. He can endure far more damage than normal humans and rapidly heal from whatever damage the user does suffer. Recently, Sunspot has been seen withstanding the impact of a eighteen-wheeler moving at 100 mph and remain nearly unharmed. As his powers have grown over time, combined with training, his durability has increased greatly, to what extent isn't known.

Enhanced Stamina:

Roberto is able to preform physical activities for long periods of time without tiring. His body produces less fatigue toxins, increasing his endurance. His stamina is at the peak of human potential without the use of his powers, partly as a result of training.

When using his powers, he no longer gets tired. Roberto's powers eliminates the fatigue toxins his body produces. By not getting tired, Roberto doesn't put any strain on his body when using his powers, and won't burn out his powers when using them.

Invulnerability:

When Sunspot's powers first manifested, he did not have a heightened sense of invulnerability. The evolution to his mutant gene, has made him incredibly resistant. Sunspot is capable of withstanding high amounts of impact forces, deflect high-caliber bullets, sustain himself when exposure to temperature/pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without injury.

Regeneration:

When he first got his powers, Sunspot was only able to recover from minor injuries. As time has passed, he's become able to recover from minor and serious injuries with far greater efficiency then normal humans.

His regenerative prowess is similar if not superior to that of Wolverine and the Hulk. He can rapidly recover from any disease, poison, virus/bacteria, or any biological threat; He can regenerate lost/destroyed limbs, muscles, organs and even regenerate nerves.Sunspot is capable of regenerating molecularly.

The limit and true speed of his regeneration isn't known, but he usually recovers (regenerates) instantaneously. Sunspots ability to regenerative is directly tied into his mutant gene, so as his mutant gene evolves and gets stronger, so does ability to regenerate.

Sunspot's regenerative powers are further augmented by his ability to absorb energy. By absorbing energy, he can speed up his recovering time and increase the extent to which he regenerates/recovers.

Sunspot's healing factor keeps him at optimal health and at his physical prime, granting him immense longevity. His body id able to last for a vast (indefinite) amount time, increasing his overall lifespan.

Self-Sufficiency:

Roberto can go without sleep/rest, food and drink, survive unaided in space, and his body evacuations become unneeded. This ability is greatly enhanced by his ability to absorb energy, which supplement his cells.

Weatherproof:

Sunspot is unaffected by the weather, and his movements/actions aren't hindered by the weather in any way. He can use his powers in all weather conditions. His senses aren't impaired by the weather.

Decelerated Aging:

By drawing power from the Sun, Sunspot ages vastly slower the normal humans, in a similar if not superior fashion as Wolverine. Sunspot's aging is further slowed by his ability to regenerate at such a quick rate, his instantaneous regenerating slows the effects of the aging process immensely.

Enhanced Agility:

Roberto possess agility superior to any Gold-Medal-Winning Athlete. He can react to any incoming attack/threat instantly and with no effort at all. His reactions are so fast, that his body reacts before his mind is able to process what's happening. The extent of his agility isn't known.

Enhanced Reflexes:

Roberto possess superhuman reflexes. His mind and eyes are able to process information at such speeds, that time appears to have slowed down, allowing the him to easily perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly.

Enhanced Senses:

Roberto has extremely accurate senses (sight, hear, smell, taste, and touch), beyond that of normal humans. The true extent of his senses are unknown, but being able to absorb energy gives him the ability to augment his senses.

Super Speed:

Sunspot can move at great speeds despite his top speed being unknown, he can easily surpass supersonic speed. He is immune to the effects of high speed travel including friction and inertia. Sunspot can increase his speed at will, by adsorbing energy. Because Sunspot can absorb Solar Energy, he is able to easily move at the speed of light easily. The limits of his speed is unknown.

Flight:

After Gideon's experiments, Sunspot began to test out his new found powers and discovered that he was able to project his blasts downwards in order to achieve flight. When he had not fully realized this ability, Sunspot would leave a small trail behind him as he flew, that would represent the solar energy that he was emitting. Now however, Sunspot is able to release his energy in order to achieve flight without having to leave any kind of trail. His normal "cruising speed" has been stated to be 150 mph. Being able to absorb Solar Energy allows him to fly at the speed of light easily. His top speed remains unknown.

Absorption:

Sunspot can drain any material, substance, or form of energy, and integrate them in his body and become stronger physically. He can also absorb the talents and knowledge of others and isn't unaffected by what he absorbs or limited to what/ how much he can absorb. This power allows him to absorb the powers/abilities of others including: normal humans, superhumans, God's, and even aliens. This power is similar to the mutant ability possessed by Rogue. Unlike Rogue, Sunspot doesn't have to be in physical contact with someone in order to use this power, as long as he's in the vicinity he can use this power. Once Sunspot drains anything he's automatically strengthened, and retains that level of strength indefinitely. As with all his powers and abilities, with the evolution of his mutant gene and the passing of time, this power gets stronger.

Power Absorption:

When absorbing someones powers or abilities, Sunspot doesn't leave that person unconscious, and the process happens right away rather he's in physical contact or in the vicinity. The effects of the absorption can become pertinent if Sunspot chooses to keep the powers or abilities he's absorbed. He can absorb the powers and abilities of numerous people at once without any discomfort. Unlike when he previously used this power, he instantly gains control over the abilities and powers he absorbs. Sunspot can also absorbs multiple powers and abilities at once, and increase their strength of them instantly.

Energy Absorption:

Sunspot can absorb different types of energy to feed/enhance his powers and abilities, the amount of which is unknown.

Sunspot has learned how to absorb energy from the light that the moon projects. He becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when he comes in contact with moonlight.

When Sunspot first learned he had the ability to draw energy from the stars themselves, the energy that they project only marginally boosts his powers, because by the time it reached Earth it had diminished. Since then, Sunspot has learned how to fully harness the power from the Star themselves, which greatly increases his powers/strength.

Sunspot is constantly absorbing energy directly from the sun, even at night. When Sunspot first gained his powers he was only able to absorb energy directly from the sun and his power would diminish greatly at night. Even if a Solar Eclipse occurs, he still absorbs large amounts of the Sun's energy. Although never stated, Sunspot absorbs large amounts of Solar energy (even at night), this is evident due to the fact that he is able to maintain his powers at a high level, with no signs of strain on his body. His ability to harness the Sun's powers not only makes him incredibly powerful, but dangerous at the same time. The energy he gets from the Sun can be utilized in various way such as: enhanced all his powers and abilities, recover/regenerate form minor and serious injuries, and self-sufficiency. Sunspot can also increase his strength, speed, and Invulnerability/durability. Being able to augment the Sun's power as he sees fit, gives Sunspot the potential for unrepresented power.

Sunspot has learned to absorb cosmic energy and utilize it in various ways such as: channeling absorbed energy into strength, durability, regeneration or simply releasing energy from his body.

Sunspot is able to absorb kinetic energy (the energy created by movement) and use it in various ways such as: augmenting his strength and regeneration of his body.

Heat and Light Absorption:

After the experiments that Gideon performed on Sunspot, he gained the ability to absorb Heat and Light into his cells to augment his strength and his other abilities in the same way that he is able to do with energy from the sun, the moon, and other sources. It is unknown if he would have been able to achieve this fineness over his abilities if Gideon had not experimented on him.

Power Core:

Even though Sunspot is capable of absorbing energy, he can also generate massive (infinite) amounts of energy. He can use the energy he produces to augment his powers/abilities.

Solar Form:

When Sunspot activates his power to its truest potential, he assumes a dark form devoid of light (that is at its most prime state to absorb solar energy). In his Solar Form, Sunspot is immensely stronger, faster, and durable then normal humans. He doesn't feel any pain while in his Solar Form.

In this form Roberto turns black and his eyes have a completely white corona. Sunspot is depicted more often than not with his entire body in a blackened state as well as his clothing.

While Sunspot is in this form, black globes can be seen floating around him as well as a field that is either bright yellow or white. He can use the field as a personal Force-Field or shield of immense strength. The Force-Filed protects Sunspot from energy based attacks and physical attacks. In certain cases, he can use the field to create a vacuum sealed area that he can breath in, while in the presences of toxins gasses while or if necessary while in space. In a similar manner as Invisible Woman, Sunspot can project force-fields inside and object or person, and expand the Force-Field so that the object or person explodes. Sunspot can also use the Force-Filed to absorb and deflect incoming attacks.

Solar Manipulation:

Due to Gideon exposing Roberto to massive amounts of solar energy, his mutant gene has evolved to the point were he can generate and control solar energy. He can create and manipulate all aspects of a Sun's power (its immense heat, luminosity, mass/gravitational field, magnetic field, raw nuclear energy and reaction, etc..). He can turn solar energy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence.

Sunspot can generate and control dark solar energy, Sunspot can manipulate dark solar energy in the exact same way he does solar energy. He can become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. during the night. Sunspot can use the darkness around him to heal from serious and fatal injuries, and can use dark light to destroy either by intense heat or explosion with an extremely bright light (ranging from burning selected beings, to destroying a city and even blowing an entire planet to pieces). Sunspot is also able to project concussive dark plasma energy blasts from his hands (with about 20 tons of force behind them at their most powerful), however the force can be increased.

Star Manipulation:

After realizing he could absorb the energy from Stars to augment his strength, it discovered he could directly manipulate the Star themselves. Sunsopt can wield the energy generated by stars, along with the electromagnetic, gravitational, ethereal, and radiational energies produced. He has the capability to generate stellar winds, solar flares, cosmic storms, and invoke meteor showers.

Darkforce Manipulation:

Sunspot at one time possessed the powers of mutant named Cloak. He only had the powers for a short time because they were shown to be too much for him at the time, and were taken from him by Rogue and Professor X. After Sunspot became more powerful and gained better control over his powers, he regained the powers of Cloak.

Sunspot has the ability to turn dark energy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. He can create and project beams of dark energy of variable size and range (capable of destroying large structures and/or areas or greatly damage anyone caught in the blast range), create/project bolts of darkness and control the intensity/power of their projectiles; the bolts could be used to stun, injure, or even penetrate and stab the enemy. He's able to release waves, spirals, rings, pulse, blasts, balls, and bursts of energy and use them to damage, push, bind and/or paralyze people. Sunspot is able to send dark energy through any form of matter (creating ruptures, and can create a pulse energy that can go through anything, and can either be harmful or harmless), create bombs made of solidified darkness that can have different effects (they can be tossed or projected and explode on contact), and generate/project shadows and darkness which absorb or nullifies light in the area.

Sunspot has the power to create/summon, materialize, and control dark energy; He's completely immune to it's effects. He can open conduits/portals to the Darkforce Dimension, a world of strange ebony energy. He is able to channel the Darkforce to create a field of darkness, manipulate this darkness, and spread it various distances. People enveloped by the darkness feel numbing cold and crippling fear, sometimes seeing disturbing visions. Overlong exposure to the darkness can drive people insane.

Sunspot can teleport by entering the Darkforce Dimension, moving a short distance within it and emerging back on Earth a great distance from his point of origin. A span of miles on Earth can be traversed in only a few steps via shortcuts through the Darkforce. He can teleport other persons or objects along with himself in this fashion (since most beings cannot safely traverse the Darkforce). Unlike Cloak however, Sunspot isn't weakened by teleporting through the Darkforce Dimension, and isn't weakened by how many people he teleports with him.Sunspot can also use the portals as storage, the size depends on his wishes. Sunspot can also suck in incoming attacks/effects and nullify them.

Sunspot can use the Darkforce to become intangible and solidify at will. He can become intangible to evade physical/energy based attacks, ignore gravity, and pass through any solid object. Sunspot is cable of making whatever he touches intangible.

Photokinesis:

Sunspot has the ability to generate, manipulate and absorb light particles. He can project light in intense waves when he absorbs and re-channels solar energy, and absorb ambient wavelengths. His ability to manipulate light, is superior to that of Sentry.

Fire Manipulation:

Sunspot can generate, manipulate/control, and absorb fire. Sunspot is immune to all forms of Heat and Fire, his skin and internal body are also immune to all forms of Heat and Fire. They simply add to his abilities and his mutant metabolism is able to simply convert these two forms and augment his abilities. This includes heat powers that are directed at him as well as heat that is present because of weather conditions. Sunspot has also been seen with the ability to absorb the energy that fire gives off and has remained unharmed while walking through it. Sunspot can also survive at any temperature. Sunspot can teleport via falmes, merging into flame of any size and appearing anywhere else from the element.

Sunspot has the ability to project heat in intense waves when he absorbs and re-channels solar energy from any part of his body to raise the temperature. Roberto can also absorb heat into his body to lower the temperature in his immediate area. He can also project and absorb heat directly into/from people, causing intense discomfort to their fluctuating body temperatures.

During Sunspots time with X-Force he was kidnapped by a super villain named Gideon who performed various experiments on him. Gideon exposed Sunspots body to massive amounts of solar energy in order to test the limits of his solar absorption. After these experiments Sunspots body was overloaded with solar energy and he later gained the ability to fire blasts of heat and concussive force. Sunspot also has been seen with the ability to project light without having to fire these blasts in order to light up certain areas of darkness.

Sunspot has the ability to generate and manipulate dark flame (the destructive aspect of fire) that is inextinguishable by normal means. The flames are also far more intense than normal flames, they can incinerate anything to the point of leaving absolutely no byproduct (not even ashes), and even smother and "burn" normal fire and water. Dark flames don't just burn, they can incinerate everything thing, even normal flames. He can turn dark fire into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. Sunspot can use dark flames to teleport, merging into flame of any size and appearing anywhere else from the same element.

Sunspot has the power to manipulate cosmic flames that are given off from comets, meteors, asteroids, stars, planets, nebula's, quasars, suns, and solar winds. Because this power is so destructive and requires no oxygen to fuel it, Sunspot is able to vaporize matter without leaving a trace.

Sunspot has the power to generate and manipulate Hell-Fire (mystical flames of Hell). This power was gained with the evolution of his mutant gene. With this power, Sunspot has various abilities at his disposal which include: being to destroy anything and create constructs out of Hell-Fire.

Plasma Manipulation:

Sunspot has the power to generate and manipulate all forms of plasma. He is immune to its effects and doesn't become overwhelmed by the large amounts of energy.

Radiation Manipulation:

Sunspot has the power to manipulate subatomic particles to generate and emit intense radioactivity. With this power, Sunspot has the ability to:

• Radiation Absorption: Sunspot can absorb all types of radiation and use it to: augment his strength, durability and even regenerate of his body
• Radiation Constructs: Sunspot can turn radiation energy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs or create structures/buildings of varying permanence.
• Radiation Generation: Sunspot can generate radiation, that can be used to: melt objects, release electromagnetic pulse (to disrupt technology and even lead), detonates himself in a nuclear explosion.
• Radiation Immunity: Sunspot is immune to radiation and its effects.
• Electromagnetic Pulse Emission to disable electronics: Sunspot can an produce a surge of electromagnetic energy (from his hands or entire body), which can disrupt all technology nearby.
• Energy Blasts: Sunspot has the power to release a variety of ranged energy-attacks (of various shapes and/or intensities).
• Energy Constructs: Sunspot can energy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and create structures/buildings of varying permanence.
• Heat Generation: Sunspot can generate heat from his body.
• Nuclear Explosion Inducement: Sunspot has the power to cause a nuclear explosion.
• Self-Detonation: Sunspot can build up immense energy and pressure within his body, and then literally causes himself to explode. He can vary the power of the explosion, and regenerate (instantly) himself afterwards.
• Weapon Infusion: Sunspot has the ability to channel the flow of energy into object of his choice in order to increase its potency.

EM Spectrum Manipulation:

Sunspot can manipulate all electromagnetic spectrum phenomena (decreasing frequency, neutrinos, light, microwaves, radio waves, gamma rays, cosmic rays, X-rays, infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation to use) in various ways. He can shoot and absorb bolts of electricity and other forms of electromagnetic radiation or energy, create intense heat as infrared radiation that can level a city, and become invisible by deflecting visible light around his body. Sunspot can also can use this influence to manipulate matter in the form of telekinesis with electromagnetism.

Black Hole Generation:

Sunspot can create Black Holes via manipulation of gravity. He has mastered this ability over time, and is able to create Black Holes varying in size and force. Sunspot can also use Black Holes as means of defense, by negating/sucking in attacks and other threats that are projected at him.

Anger Empowerment:

Roberto's quick temper and rage add to his overall powers including: his strength, speed, and durability. He has been taught by Professor X to control his anger, so it can be use to his advantage. The madder he gets, the more powerful he becomes, however he doesn't loose control of himself or his powers, thanks to the training of Professor X and due to the fact he has learned to better control his powers and abilities.
