Who is Sunburst?

Sunburst is a Wildstorm-era hero who debuted in the foundational Image Zero #0, operating within the Gen12 corner of the Image universe alongside teammates including Karl Hansen, Nautika, and Fahrenheit.

Blazing onto the scene in the landmark Image Zero #0 in 1993, Sunburst is a Copper/Modern Age creation born right at the heart of Image Comics' explosive founding era. Over a publishing history stretching some twenty years, this character carved out a niche in the Wildstorm corner of the Image universe, sharing pages with the likes of Karl Hansen, Nautika, Fahrenheit, and other colorful figures who populated that energetic, ambitious corner of comics. With appearances across Gen12 and even the fan-favorite Wildstorm Swimsuit Special, Sunburst may not have the longest rap sheet in the catalog, but a key-issue credit and that historic debut make this a character worth a second look for any serious Wildstorm completist.
