-Good ol' Sunfire's probably been one of the most consistently-portrayed douchebags in comics, on the super-hero side. Maybe the anti-Japan fervor that was still fairly apparent in the U.S. in the late 60s helped make him such? I don't know about that, but he was a tool in his first appearance, he was a tool on the All-New, All-Different Giant Size X-Men, and he's a tool nowadays as well. The retarded costume (what the hell is that mask supposed to be, anyways?) probably didn't help matters either. In any case, he's been a long-standing symbol of Japan in Marvel (DC, which has fewer foreign heroes of import, just had Rising Sun and the female Doctor Light, herself a giant bitch that went out of her way to be disliked), for better or worse, and still shows up in X-related books since his debut.
-His best showing ever is pretty much owed entirely to Joe Mad, who designed the awesome "All Firey" version of Sunfire for the Age of Apocalypse storyline, which only took Marvel TEN YEARS to finally give to the 'main-line' Sunfire.
-A remarkably powerful hero, Sunfire fully deserves PL 11 status, and barely made his points thanks to his EXTREMELY powerful blast effect. His Plasma has a wide range of shapes (basically Line, Burst & Cone, plus an explosive blast), is clearly Penetrating, and has a bunch of side powers (including Radiation sickness, hence the Disease Extra on Radiation Control). Then there's his Plasma Aura. He's been reguarly shown to be one of the most powerful Blaster Guys in Marvel Comics, and expect him to make full and frequent use of Power Attack. Not a hero to be trifled with.
