Stan ee, X-Men editor/co-creatordidn't give me any good reason or rejecting the character€”he just didn't want to, I think... I didn't bring it up again, but when I came back to the book, with Neal Adams, I created Sunfire, who is pretty much the character I had wanted to do some years earlier. I didn't make him an X-Ma ...
