Mister Sinister

Dr. Nathaniel Essex was a brilliant Victorian era scientist who was obsessed with deterministic interpretations of natural evolution, predicting the emergence of *mutants* in the near future. Essex's intellect caught the attention of Apocalypse, a powerful mutant, the very embodiment of Essex's predictions. Apocalypse genetically mutated Essex, transforming him into his first prelate, known as Mister Sinister. Through the years, Mister Sinister became one of the greatest geneticists to have ever lived, skilled cloning, creating new life, and even in the manipulation of mutant DNA for enhancing powers, incorporating mutant DNA to his own.

Mister Sinister spent most of his life scheming ways to break free from his designer, Apocalypse. For that purpose, he secretly manipulated the lives of major representatives of the mutant race, such as Cyclops, Jean Grey, Gambit, Havok, and even Professor X. The main results of his machinations were the creation of Madelyne Pryor and the birth of Nathan Summers, whom he believed to be the bringer of Apocalypse's end. Mister Sinister's actions directly crossed the lives of the X-Men after he ordered his Marauders to massacre the Morlocks.

When Professor X established the mutant island nation of Krakoa, Mister Sinister was granted not only citizenship, but also a seat on the Quiet Council of Krakoa, the Krakoan supreme government. Sinister's life work of cataloguing the genome of all mutants proved to be a crucial resource for Krakoa Resurrection Protocols. As an important member of the Krakoan society, Mister Sinister assembled his own mutant group to act for his own interests, the Hellions.

## History

The history of this Mr. Sinister seemingly followed the same path of his Earth-616 counterpart's.

Mr. Sinister started a plan to perfect the world using DNA from deceased Genoshan mutants. He allied with corrupt media mogul Chance White in order to acquire control under the producer's satellites. After Sinister's Marauders rescued White from Deadpool, Mr. Sinister got Chance to confirm the satellites were now his, and proceeded to kill White, who was no longer useful. This infuriated the mercenary Deadpool, who demanded Sinister to pay him the money White owed him. The villain gave no importance to Deadpool's demand, telekinetically dismembered Wade, and escaped with Blockbuster, announcing that Genosha awaited them.

In Genosha, Sinister started profaning mutant corpses harvesting their DNA. The X-Men joined forces with Deadpool in order to stop Sinister and followed the supervillain to Genosha. In his way to find Sinister, Deadpool interfered in Essex's plans, as he killed a clone of him which was broadcasting a signal through a security tower, rescued Rogue from Blockbuster and stopped the profaning of corpses with the help of Cable.

When Deadpool finally got to Mr. Sinister's base, Magneto's old citadel, the villain sent numerous clones to fight him. The real Sinister finally showed up angry with Deadpool's interference, quickly subduing the recently arrived X-Men using concussive blasts. Sinister started insulting Deadpool, without noticing he was standing right in a giant "X" the mercenary had painted before the final battle. Deadpool proceeded to punch Sinister in his crotch, and used a modified Sentinel boot to crush him when he was reeling from the pain, finally killing him.
