New Sun

New Sun is a fictional supervillain from Marvel and an enemy of the mainstream Gambit, which he shares a unique bond with as an alternate-reality doppelganger.

New Sun is an alternate reality version of this world’s Gambit. In his reality New Sun was brought up within the Alpha-1 mutant research and genetic planning facility. He was prepared from birth in the use of his powers and eventually escaped, destroying the facility in the process. In his universe, New Sun fought with both the X-Men, and for and against Earths other heroes. In his reality Jean-Luc LeBeau was a mentor to New Sun, and helped New Sun full fill the prophecies of Le Diable Blanc (the resurrection of the old kingdom and heaven on earth). To full fill this prophecy New Sun had the energies of the Long-Dead Kings channelled into him, which caused his bio-kinetic powers to expand and destroy the planet. Ravaged by grief and guilt New Sun travels from reality to reality searching out alternate Remy LeBeau’s and killing them to ensure the accident can never be repeated.
