SUMO
Real Name: Jun Tenta
First Appearance: The New Mutants (Vol. 1) #93, September 1990
Powers: Sumo's mutant power granted him a considerable amount of mutagenically-enhanced fat in layers over his body. This gave him considerable strength and resistance to all manner of physical harm, resistance which varied in direct proportion to the amount of fat covering a given portion of his frame. He could resist temperature extremes and puncture wounds as well.
He also had the ability to alter his weight, either through mass-shifting or gravity manipulation, allowing him to leap much higher into the air than physically possible for a man of his size, and then pull himself back down onto an opponent with greater force that normal.

Sumo’s real name and size are references to John Tenta, the late WWF wrestler best known as Earthquake, who was also a sumo wrestler:
