Leyu Yoshida

Leyu Yoshida, also known as Sunpyre, is a Japanese mutant and the younger sister of Sunfire. Like her brother, she possesses the ability to generate and manipulate superheated plasma, and she joined the X-Men and X-Corps as a hero in her own right.

Leyu Yoshida stepped into the Marvel Universe in 2001, introduced by Scott Lobdell and Salvador Larroca in The Uncanny X-Men #392 — a Modern Age debut that placed her squarely in the company of heavy-hitters like Logan, Scott Summers, and Alison Blaire. A member of both the X-Men and X-Corps, she carved out her place across Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, and X-Men: Legacy during a rich, eventful chapter in mutantkind's history. Her appearances may be select rather than sprawling, but for collectors who love discovering the quieter corners of the X-roster, Leyu Yoshida is exactly the kind of character worth seeking out — a genuine piece of early-2000s Marvel storytelling waiting to be explored.
