Michael Morning's mutant powers over light, heat, and fire, errupted at the age of 12. He practiced with them for 8 years. He became a superhero on his 20th birthday. He was ipressive in his super suit, fought with finesse and displayed great power. He was also killed by Dark Seraph. Eleven days after his funeral he arose like a phoenix to take flight again. Michael doesn't remember being dead. He does remember the great phoenix telling him he had work to do and the world needed him again. Michael doesn't know why he was brought back from the dead, why the Great Phoenix chose him (besides the obvious, but Morningstar had flame based powers and when she died and she never rose from the dead). Michael's parents took some time to get used to having their son back from the dead, he's left most of his old friends and family behind because explaining away death is too painful. He looks different enough now that he simply tells the media that he took the original Sunrise name and costume in tribute to the fallen hero. Since joining the Solution they have used their pull with fringe "agencies" and given Michael a new identity (with the same name, he wasn't going to give it up). Michael is a hero, he feels he is destined for some great conflict, that there had to be a reason for his rebirth. To that end he is the most "active" crime fighter of the team, he understands the other motivations and supports them but he is looking for his destiny. Michael rarely speaks to his parents as its too hard for them to accept his return after seeing him dead. He is uncomfortable with his old life and tries to avoid talking about it. Michael also tries to find information on the Great Phoenix he saw before coming back from the dead. He has been out of luck so far. While friendly with his team mates he is considered something of an aloof fellow. Not a joiner. He's very uncomortable with the idea of coming back from the dead and whatever implications that has on his metaphysical well being. He tries to be pragmatic about it but it does get to him somethimes. "Feel the Clensing Light of the Sun." A standard blaster; he flies and has a variety of light/heat/fire based attacks. Well, he's literally a born again. He keeps this secret from even the other members of the team (there are a few in the UI who know but they keep his secret). He might be encountered seeking information on the Great Phoenix or seeking his "destiny". Michael Morning (no, really, that's his name) is tall and rather skinny. He has red hair that is streaked with gold. His eyes are amber colored and he has a perfect bronze tan. His costume is a skintight yellow body suit with red flared gloves, boots and a white circle surounded by red flames on his chest. Oddly enough, he no longer is surrounded by a sheath of flame, but when he flies great "wings" of fire appear from his back.
