Omar Pairut uncovered the secrets of an ancient "sun stone" which his family had been entrusted with since 334 BCE, when it nearly fell into the hands of Alexander the Great. Using his fortune to ascertain how to use it to bestow powers on himself, Pairut informed the ambassador of Iran of his new alias as Sunburst and asked him to inform the United Nations of his grand plans of conquest. While flying across Earth-One, Sunburst encountered and quickly defeated Aquaman, leaving the hero in a desert. Little did he know that the King of the Seas would survive and track down the villain, using a mirror to reflect energy emitted from Omar back at him, thus destroying the sun stone and leaving the madmen powerless.
Zolar recruited several Arabians into his scheme to blackmail Metropolis, utilizing destructive globes and weather altering technology. Having kidnapped Laura Vogel, sister of an archeologist who stumbled upon Zolar's scheme, the villain replaced her with an agent of his who tried to lure Earth-Two's Superman into a trap. However, once she grabbed Zolar's globe gun and used it against the Man of Steel, it bounced off him and extinguished her and her scientifically sinister master instead. That was the end of Zolar, whose brief bid for world domination was thwarted as had been his counterpart's grandiose plan.
Another Sunburst on Earth-One would be movie actor Takeo Sato, who as an infant breathed fumes from volcano which mutated his genes, causing him to possess the ability to harness heat naturally unlike Omar. On a movie set, when his harness failed him in mid-air on the set of a film shooting, he first manifested his power of flight and heat emission. The movie studio then hired Sato to be the star of a series of movies as Sunburst, stating publicly that his powers were simply special effects. When Japanese criminals discovered Takeo's abilities, they blackmailed him to be their supervillian ally, which drew the attention of Superboy. Sunburst battled the Boy of Steel, then secretly recruited him to help him locate his kidnapped parents, which he did. Sunburst's counterpart was Morrie Fushido, a young Japanese-American who assisted Earth-Two's Atom versus the Black Dragon Society when both retrieved a powerful atom weapon.
