      Yeah I’m reading through the Claremont run for the first time and I can’t think of an issue where he hasn’t been depicted with a darker skin tone. That coupled with the fact his African-Brazillian heritage is referenced on numerous occasions leads me to seriously question the motivation for subsequent creatives (including Beau) to erase that aspect of Sunspot’s character.

      That people are pissed about this and about disney doing a lot of the opposite in their movies is just proof that the world is full of the same bullshit, no matter what skin color or country you’re from.

      Ahhh I see. That second-from-last comic image where he’s dodging lasers was the first one I found, and I was like “Wait it says this is from 2016 and he kinda looks like this Agustini guy already?”

      So the controversy actually predates the casting, it just brought it back to the forefront.
