Roberto is an insecure, hot-tempered Brazilian boy. He has been known to fly off the handle over the most minor incidents, and often gets into fights with his fellow teammates (especially Berzerker.) He loves the fact that, with his power, he's stronger than everyone else on the team - at least during the sunlight hours, when he's able to draw solar energy from the sun. It's clear emphasis on his super-strength is a result of feeling inferior in other areas of his life.

to channel the energy around just the body, succeeding quite to fly. Roberto is the son
of a rich Brazilian and an archaeologist American and manifested its mutant power for
before the time to 14 years, when, during one left of soccer, two its adversaries pushed

while its black body divenne. He began to scream aid, but the only ones that scapparono
was not its father and its fianc�e, Juliana Sandoval. The power of Roberto attracted the
attention of Donald Pierce, the rinnegato Flagman White man of the Infernal Club,
cyborg hate-mutant that in future would have given several problems to Wolverine and
to the X-Men.
Roberto succeeded to escape to the capture and the mercenari of Pierce rapirono Juliana

help it. Roberto determined to meet the men of Pierce in order to try to save Juliana, but
the mercenari refused to free it if before it had not delivered itself. A mercenario was on
the point to kill it, when its risvegliarono powers. But its energy lasted little and would be

back the forces, it forced Karma, that it had possessed the mind of the mercenario, to
leave it free to strike itself, but also this time its loads of energy was get exaustedded
fastly. This time was Juliana, sacrificing itself, to save it from the dead women. To that
Roberto point it swore vendetta against Pierce and one joined to Xavier, Karma, Mirage
and to an other mutant young person, Wolfsbane, in order to defeat it. Once Pierce
defeats and its men, Roberto determined to remain with Xavier in order to learn to use
the own powers, entering to make part with the name of New Sunspot of the group of
the Mutant ones, with which much time passed. In this period, ironicamente, the father

of Roberto so that the dead women seemed caused from an infarct, and taken the boy
under the own guard, believing erroneously that one was a X-Terno (particular race of immortali mutants) par its. Sunspot was subordinate to of the experiments that altered its genetic code, rendering it still more powerful than before. They were its former companions of square, under the commando of Cable and with the name of X-Force, to save it. Roberto joined to the new group, with which it remained until when, during a battle against the Forehead of Mutant Liberation, it disappeared in one of the portali of Locus. Months after it came revealed that the leader of the forehead, the frightening Reignfire, was in same Roberto truth, evidently hasty in the madness. Then, in a series of still mysterious circumstances, Cable succeeded to recover Bobby that could therefore gather to X-Force.

After to have defeated its "binoculars malvagio", Bobby � returned in possession of its fortune (sottrattagli thanks to the deceit from Reignfire) and � established to Saint Francisco with X-Force and the fianc�e Tabitha "Meltdown" Smith.
