in this reality, new sun was never adopted by the thieves guild, so his real name is not "remy lebeau". new sun was raised with his full power and intended to become the fulfillment of an ancient guild prophecy to create heaven on earth. however, things went wrong when he charged up his power in a special ritual—a chain reaction was started that caused everyone on earth beside himself to burn up. failing to remake time, the new sun traveled to other universes, hoping to prevent the same thing from happening there. however, he found many worlds in ruins, often because of that world's version of gambit. coming to the main marvel universe (616), he first attempted to create a new world where everyone would eventually be transported to, using the main reality's gambit to help (without revealing to him who he truly was). when he learned that his plan wasn't possible, he tried to kill gambit, transporting both of them to his destroyed home world before gambit became a threat to the main universe's earth world as well.
