History

Toshio Sasaki, along with his wife and child, were kidnapped by the villain Doctor Demonicus. Demonicus performed genetic experiments on the family and mutated them to gain superpowers. Toshio gained power to control air, so he was given name Taifu (the Japanese word for "Typhoon").

Toshio was forced to join Demonicus' Pacific Overlords, but eventually left. He attacked Demonicus' henchmen, but was defeated, captured and imprisoned in Demonicus' base. Eventually, when Avengers invaded the base they freed Toshio. Demonicus allowed him, Michi and their child to leave and retain their powers.
