Mister Sinister

**Nathaniel Essex** was a 19th century scientist who genetically experimented on himself and became an immortal Mutant bent on creating a being of genetic perfection and forcing the human race into the next step of evolution by weeding out those he believes are weak. Essex named himself **Mister** **Sinister**, after the last word his dying wife ever spoke to him. He is perhaps the greatest geneticist in the world; capable of cloning, creating, enhancing, and controlling the abilities of gifted and enhanced alike. Sinister time and again worked with the original Mutant Apocalypse to bring about a new age and founded the Marauders to follow and aid him in his quest.

## Biography

### **Origins**

**Nathaniel Essex** was born in Victorian England in the year 1837. He was obsessed with Charles Darwin's theory on evolution. Although he was truly passionate about his work, he also cared a great deal for his family. Disaster however struck when his son died, at the age of four, caused by various birth defects.

To cope with the pain of this loss, Essex started to intensify on his work and theories about evolution, even going so far as to look into legends of ancient beings said to have incredible power, ignoring his (again pregnant) wife for most of the time as a result. The pain of the loss of his son however had a profound impact on Essex. Where he was once a passionate and gentle man, he became more and more secluded and ignorant to the people around him. After the second child died diuring birth Nathan's wife left him but not before calling her husband sinister for not paying any attention to her pregnancy, a word that would stay with him for years to come.

### **Inspirations**

Nathan then spent the remaining years of his career through what was considered foolish pursuits by many. He eventually was forced to retire and went on to live in a nursing home. His ideals did however inspire a young Oxford student who would later become the High Evolutionary. When he did the High Evolutionary realized that Nathan Essex was dying of the one thing no one can escape, death. Thinking that his mind could help him evolutionize humanity, the High Evolutionary took him away from his nursing home and hooked him into his advanced technology. which managed to buy Nathan a few more weeks. During this time the High Evolutionary added cybernetic implants similar to his armor design but this form of tech was upgraded from the previous model. In order to ensure he could be controlled in the event of an emergency, the High Evolutionary installed a shut down protocol to paralyze him. After undergoing the same process that created the High Evolutionary, Nathan had become a being of incredible power and with the appearance of a 40 year old man. He then took the name **Mister Sinister** because of his wife once calling him that.

### **New Purpose**

After becoming Sinister, Nathan was introduced to the High Evolutionary's research and asked to consult on his work thus far. Nathan had a few good ideas but due to his inexperience in the field of Inhuman biology he could not be too helpful. So Sinister spent months researching Inhuman biology and came to the same realization that the High Evolutionary had, that their work could not only change the world but save it. In addition to this belief, Sinister added that after their work is complete and the survivors of the experiments become Mutants, they should be tested to see if they are truly worthy. He then proposed that after the transformations that they set up a cataclysmic event which only the strongest beings on the planet would endure.

The High Evolutionary then rejected Sinister's idea entirely by saying that enough people will have died and that he only kills when necessary. This difference between Sinister and the High Evolutionary eventually led to a falling out. So in order to advance his own twisted goals, Sinister stole all the High Evolutionary's data revolving around evolution and would use it for years to come. But in the process he was encountered by the High Evolutionary who saw fit to stop him, however his armor had been secretly weakened by Sinister who also managed to remove his own safe guards. The two then parted ways.

### **New Master and experiencing death**

In the near future Sinister will have performed many "sinister" deeds including horrible experiments especially involving hunting Scott Summers, and Jean Grey. After the Infinity War hit, Sinister discovered that an ancient being had been awakened, and after learning that he was in fact the most powerful being in the galaxy Sinister offered his services with the hope that Apocalypse could bring forth the evolution Sinister had foreseen.after apocalypse was destroyed by night crawler sinister and the horsemen were taken in to custody by sheild but eventually made his escape and got in touch with andrian toomes who he planned to use to carry on en Sabah nur work and fused his exo suit with his body but what sinister didn't knew was that the scare crow was watching who told vulture who he was and what he had in store for him.
