Who is Sun Emperor?

Sun Emperor is a supervillain from the far future who clashed with the Legion of Super-Heroes, possessing solar-based powers that made him a genuine cosmic threat to the team's roster of powerhouses.

A villain who radiates menace from his very first appearance, Sun Emperor burst onto the DC Universe in 1985, a product of the Bronze Age storytelling team of Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen. His handful of appearances β€” including a notable entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe β€” place him squarely in the cosmic, far-future world of Legion lore, sharing pages with powerhouses like Lar Gand, Mon-El, and Ultra Boy. Rare appearances can make a character all the more intriguing, and Sun Emperor is exactly the kind of deep-cut DC figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the Legion's rich, sprawling mythology.
