Description: MARVEL COMICS Marvel Studios Marvel Animation First Appearance KeyX-MEN '97 First Cover Appearance & Second Overall Appearance: Nathaniel Essex a.k.a. MISTER SINSITER! Along with Doctor Stasis and Orbis Stellaris, MISTER SINISTER is one of three self-clones created by NATHANIEL ESSEX, a geneticist who was transformed by APOCALYPSE. Among Sinister's greatest accomplishments were the creations of Madelyn Pryor (who would become the Goblin Queen) and the child she bore with Scott Summers/CYCLOPS of the X-MEN, Nathaniel Summers. "INFERNO" is the long-running story-arc that tells the story of Sinister's creation of Pryor and his manipulation of the X-Men, who became ensnared in his plans when he ordered his Marauders to massacre the subway-dwelling Morlocks of New York City. The arc begins here: Uncanny X-Men #239, in an issue which not only gives Sinister his FIRST COVER APPEARANCE, but his SECOND OVERALL APPEARANCE since his debut six months beforehand in the legendary Uncanny X-Men #221 (1987). Fans of Marvel Studios' X-MEN '97 (2024) will recognize Sinister's story from its abbreviated re-telling in Episode Three of animated series.
