Now, we see him in his student street wear with a fly looking track jacket and slick high tops. The appears to be a move to keep him on the same level as Jubilee – a younger mutant in regular clothes at Xavier’s Institute. Sunspot is a character originating from The New Mutants. He first appeared in Marvel Graphic Novel #4 (a graphic novel on The New Mutants prior to their ongoing series) in September of 1982. X-Men ’97 has not revealed a release date as of yet, but we sincerely hope we get new information this July at San Diego Comic-Con.
