Rising Sun

Rising Sun is a Japanese superhero with solar-based powers who operates as one of DC's international champions. He has allied with global heroes and served as Japan's representative in the broader DC Universe.

A solar-powered champion of the Bronze Age, Rising Sun made their DC debut in 1982, brought to life by E. Nelson Bridwell and Alex Saviuk in the pages of DC Comics Presents. This distinctive figure has kept remarkable company over the years — sharing adventures with heavyweights like Green Lantern, The Flash, and Metamorpho — and even turned up in the landmark Infinite Crisis Companion, signaling a place in DC's broader cosmology that belies a modest appearance count. Spanning three decades from the Bronze Age through 2012, Rising Sun is exactly the kind of gem that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig a little deeper into DC's rich international roster.
