Episode description

In Episode 68 of CEREBRO, Connor and game developer Justin Park recount the rise of Shiro Yoshida, the scathing Sunfire! Empowered by the horrors of Hiroshima, Shiro became Japan's controversial national hero. While he was briefly one of the earliest members of the X-Men, his devotion to his country above all else has historically held him back from becoming a major mutant character. In the age of Krakoa, rethinking his politics, Sunfire stars as one of the X-Men in Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz's celebrated new run on the flagship title.

The CEREBRO character file on Sunfire begins at 1:04:00.

(Content Advisory: Shiro's story includes genocide, suicidal ideation, attempted suicide, medical experimentation, brainwashing, and involuntary body modification. This episode also discusses real world war crimes and atrocities.)
