Bio:
The nickname Fuji was given to him in high school, because of his extraordinary size and Japanese origin. He spent some time as a Sumo wrestler in his teens but developed a strange condition which caused his body's structure to deteriorate. His father, Yoshi Misawa, was a wealthy businessman and invested a lot of that money into curing his son but was told it was incurable. Stormwatch then stepped in to help. However, when his powers were fully activated, Fuji's body reverted to plasma and only quick thinking by Stormwatch scientists saved his life. Now, he is unable to live outside his specially built containment suit, a fact which affects him emotionally though he often hides it behind a cheerful exterior.
StormWatch
Fuji's containment suit has changed many times over the course of his Stormwatch duties. Despite inherent problems, such as his fingers being too big to operate communication devices, Fuji still enjoys bragging about how beautiful he considers himself to be.
Fuji once assisted the Wildcats, where rogue team-member Tao caused him severe mental damage by trapping him in a mental loop. It took some time to recover from this.
Fuji's deep patriotism is highlighted in Stormwatch #42 as he breaks protocol to personally confront a Japanese madman who is causing widespread death in Tokyo and beyond with the intention of having other countries taking over Japan. After an ideological confront, the madman died in the hands of his own genetically engineered soldiers. Fuji never spoke about that day again.
During downtime in Clark's Bar, a hangout for superpowered people, Fuji tells of a secret unique to his physical makeup. The random vibrations of every day life build up inside the gas of his body. Every five minutes, they 'erupt', giving him an orgasm. His teammates are duly shocked and or envious.
When StormWatch investigated what they thought was an asteroid, SkyWatch got infested with Aliens that killed most of the crew. Among the victims were Fuji, whose containment suit was ruptured and his plasma energy mixed with Hellstrike's. The WildC.A.T.S. saved the remaining crew and the plan was to return with reinforcements, but Winter apparently realized that there was only one way to get rid of the Aliens. Instead of escaping with the others and try to fight the Aliens later, he stayed behind and flew the space station into the sun. The destruction of SkyWatch and death of Winter and other StormWatch operatives was what led to StormWatch being discontinued and the formation of the Authority.
WorldStorm
When The Authority's Doctor resurrected Winter, his teammates were resurrected as well, including Fuji. According to Fahrenheit's memories, one of The Monitors seemingly played a role in this, specifiying that they would be needed. Later in the Stormwatch: Post Human Division issue of Wildstorm: Armageddon however, it is suggested that they were saved by a possible future version of Jackson King. Fuji has rejoined the reorganized Stormwatch Prime.
World's End
Fuji serves under Jackson King's new StormWatch, as a member of StormWatch Team Alpha.
Alternate Versions:
- The Bleed Universe: Fuji was still a member of StormWatch and was apparently killed along with the rest of the team when they tried to stop a Kherubim invasion.
- World War 3: In this Marvel/WildStorm amalgamated universe, Fuji is still a member of StormWatch, fighting Dr. Doom, The Skrulls, and the Daemonites..
Trivia:
- Fuji was created by Jim Lee & Brandon Choi
Commentary:
- "Fuji was a simple, obvious name that no one's ever taken: the big Japanese mountain. And right there that name gives you the look of the character, it gives you his powers and strength. I wanted to create a character that had no facial features - no mouth, no nose, nothing. Even if you were to take off the armor, there's nothing underneath." - Jim Lee (WildStorm Gallery trading card #25)
