[edit] Fictional character biography

Sumo was recruited by Stryfe to join the Mutant Liberation Front (MLF) with Dragoness and Kamikaze shortly after the team was created. The MLF fought the New Mutants several times.

Later, Garrison Kane stumbles upon Sumo, Wildside, and Forearm in the Canadian mountains and, after a brief scuffle, follows them through their teleportation portal, where he is tortured.

On a mission to steal an ancient sword from a museum, Sumo and several other members of the MLF ran into Cable, who has been waiting to ambush them. Cable shot Sumo in the head, killing him.

The android Zero teleported the rest of the MLF to safety leaving Sumo's corpse behind.
