Biography
Original Timeline
X2: X-Men United
Roberto da Costa's name appeared on a list of mutants on Col. Stryker's computer when it was accessed by Mystique.
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Sunspot joined up with fellow mutant survivors Iceman, Kitty Pryde, Bishop, Blink, Colossus, and Warpath and formed a plan to survive; whenever they were discovered by the Sentinels they would send Bishop's consciousness back in time a few days to warn them of the attack and then retreat to another location. While defending Kitty and Bishop he was grabbed by one of the Sentinels, frozen and choked to death.They met up with Charles Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine and Storm in China. While Kitty sent Logan's mind back in time, Sunspot and the other X-Men fought off the Sentinels when they arrived. While Storm and Magneto destroyed most of them, dozens still remained. Sunspot flew around, setting Sentinels on fire but they eventually cut off one of his arms and impaled him through the back by another and thrown away.
