Reignfire
comics character
Reignfire is a fictional character and villain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character primarily appeared in the series X-Force. His original creators were Fabian Nicieza and Matt Broome, who had completely different plans for the villain than what evolved.
Publication history
Originally, Fabian Nicieza intended for Reignfire to be a time traveling, slightly older, more mentally disturbed version of Sunspot. When writer John Francis Moore took over the title X-Force, he changed the original plan and made Sunspot a protoplasmic entity who took Sunspot's form.
Fictional character biography
Following the events of "X-Cutioner's Song", the members of the Mutant Liberation Front (MLF) are imprisoned and left without a leader. Reignfire frees MLF members Forearm, Reaper, Wildside, and Tempo from prison and recruits Moonstar and Locus into the group. He tasks the group with killing Henry Peter Gyrich, an anti-mutant government liaison. However, their attempt is foiled by X-Force. During the battle, Locus and Sunspot are teleported away after their powers inadvertently react with one another.
