Background / History
Su Yao was originally a human from Earth who transmigrated into the body of a sixteen-year-old mutant imprisoned as Experiment No. 37. Subjected to repeated experiments and abuse, he initially had only 83 days to live and resolved to escape and destroy the experimental base responsible for his condition. 1
His first known abilities appeared weak: sunlight restored his energy, eased his injuries, and could replace food. The hidden Mimicry panel, however, identified Orochi—“Sun God” and “Earth’s Will”—as his target, giving Su Yao a route to unlock a growing arsenal of powers through accumulated Light Energy. 1 3
After escaping the facility, Su Yao was rescued by Chris, a former Brotherhood member who learned from stolen documents that Su Yao carried the genes of Magneto and Professor X. Su Yao remained cautious about revealing his identity and powers, but his battles against police and military forces exposed Black Particle, teleportation, Reflection Shield, and solar absorption to the public. 8 14
His confrontation with Black Phoenix Jean forced his Orochi panel to 100% and triggered a catastrophic loss of control. A sun-like manifestation above his head erased buildings, streets, and much of a city into dust; the backlash subsequently reset his panel and locked his abilities until he restored them with the Cosmic Cube. 74 76 81
Su Yao later expanded beyond Orochi’s power set through Scarlet Witch and Balder mimicry panels. As the Messiah and the White-Clothed Hero, he fought Sentinels, rejected attempts to recruit or capture him, aided Thor against the Destroyer Armor, and developed into a recognized Omega Mutant. 88 90 97 114 395
As his strength increased, Su Yao began acting against threats on an increasingly larger scale. He fought Apocalypse, the Old God, Surtur, Sentinel forces, and Celestial Judge Arishem; he also helped Wolverine’s group resist Sentinels in the future and supplied the X-Men with military-base locations. 141 232 332 359 395 455
Appearance
Su Yao’s appearance changes depending on his disguise, Mimicry state, and divine manifestations. His publicly known identities are often concealed by white clothing and a mask, while his original appearance is associated with black clothing. 85 457
- His blue eyes turn gold while absorbing sunlight. 1
- Scarlet Witch power gives his eyes a red coloration with scarlet points in the pupils. 88
- As the White-Clothed Hero, he wears all-white clothing with a white hood and mask. 85
- In a high-output Orochi state, his hair becomes illusory silver and a sun tattoo appears on his body. 331
- Following his rebirth, he manifests a pure-white divine garment that emits faint light. 598
Personality
Su Yao is intensely survival-driven. His imprisonment, experimentation, and rapidly declining lifespan leave him distrustful of institutions and determined to avoid being captured again. He habitually conceals abilities, changes identities, and evades groups attempting to recruit or control him. 1 10 114
He is methodical about self-improvement, repeatedly training individual powers, measuring his speed, and prioritizing abilities according to imminent threats. He recognizes his limits and will retreat or conserve Light Energy when prolonged combat would leave him vulnerable. 23 29 156 261
Although often hostile toward those pursuing or threatening him, Su Yao is willing to support mutants and allies when their goals align. He assists the X-Men against Sentinels, protects Thor, and gives Professor X a strengthened symbiote capable of repairing his injuries. 97 232 515
