-Sundown is a scientist working at Oscorp who discovered that he could harness the power of photosynthesis in human beings. He then demanded a raise from his boss, NORMAN OSBORN. So you can imagine he was then fired, at which point he injested his own formula and gained superpowers. He went on a psychotic rampage, but was brought back to reality after accidentally severing a young girl's arm. After a divorce and a ten-year stint in prison, he returned to New York, and ended up getting blackmailed by an old prison ally into joining his gang. He's apparently smart enough to build something that makes him INSANELY powerful, able to take on the combined forces of the Silver Age Spider-Man, Avengers, Fantastic Four & the X-Men! This shows itself as a low-accuracy (I mean, he's been in TWO fights), high-powered bit of attacks- he can either grow or be a Flying Brick, plus he Regenerates and can Blast stuff. WHY DIDN'T HE REMAKE THE FORMULA AND SELL IT???
-Naturally, he's a one-off guy because he was in an
Untold Tales of Spider-Man story- a series that produced some semi-popular Red Guardian Characters, but nothing that had a lasting impact.
