First Appearance: Alpha Flight III#9 (January, 2005)
Powers/Abilities: Sunpyre displayed many of the same abilities as Earth-616's Sunfire. She could fly and emit a type of fire from her body, which she could project.
History: (Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Teams 2005 (fb)-BTS) - The Big Hero Six member known as Honey Lemon somehow brought Sunpyre to Earth-616 from her home dimension via the Power Purse. Sunpyre joined the Big Hero Six, seeing Honey Lemon as her own personal god.
(Alpha Flight III#9 (fb)-BTS) - The team was then placed under the control of an unknown party, who sent the team to Canada to battle Alpha Flight.
(Alpha Flight III#9) - Sunpyre, along with the rest of Big Hero Six, attacked Alpha Flight, with Sunpyre matching up against Puck (Zuzha Yu). When Puck attacked Honey Lemon, Sunpyre struck out against the Alpha Flight member, but Centennial threw her against a tree. Sasquatch found the device used to control the Japanese heroes located on Baymax. Returning to their senses, the two teams were attempting to figure out who was responsible when Flashback arrived and begged Alpha Flight for their aid.
(Alpha Flight III#12 - BTS) - After Alpha Flight went into the past on an adventure, they eventually ended back up where they started (kind of...), finishing up their fight with Big Hero Six.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Teams
2005) - Big Hero Six returned to Japan to find the parties responsible
for controlling them.
(Civil War Battle Damage Report#1) - Sunpyre and the
rest of Big Hero Six attended a press conference with Otomo and Red
Ronin, reaffirming their stance on protecting Japan from superhuman
threats.
Comments: Created by Scott Lobdell, Clayton Henry and Mark Morales.
Sunpyre and Ebon Samurai were replacements on the team meant to evoke the original members, who were being used elsewhere (Silver Samurai had been "killed" in Elektra's book).
While dialogue in Alpha Flight III#9 might seem to imply that Sunpyre and Honey Lemon were lovers--Honey Lemon gets struck. Sunpyre cries out "My beloved!" and Centennial hits her, remarking "I don't EVEN want to ask."--the Teams 2005 Handbook clarified the situation, stating that Sunpyre, in fact, worships Honey Lemon as a deity. This clarification was made after the Handbook team contacted Scott Lobdell, who gave the final word on what was occurring.
Clarifications:
Sunpyre has no known connections to (but may be an
alternate counterpart of )
