Sinister


Real Name: Nathaniel Essex
Affiliation: None
Status: Deceased (Xavier)
Relatives: Rebecca (wife, deceased), Adam (son, deceased)
History & Powers: Although his powers were never seen in action, it is assumed that he had abilities similar to the Sinister of our world (with the exception of the shape-shifting, which we now know was derived from Courier in our world). This Sinister is also a master of genetic manipulation, and most likely created Madelyne Pryor to breed with Havok and produce a powerful child. Years ago, he had Gambit steal two children from a fortified facility, of whom the boy was artificially grown into the X-Man, and the girl was left with Gambit, to be raised as his "daughter" Raven. Sinister originally wanted to kill the girl, but Gambit protested and turned to mist (he had just been changed into a vampire), and Sinister relented. At some point (whether before or after this incident is unknown), Sinister joined forces with Xavier in a plan to control the world. However, in the final battle, Sinister realized that Xavier was going to destroy the conditions he needed for his genetic manipulations of mutants, and he protested, whereupon Xavier blasted him, apparently killing him.
