Need Help on Mr. Sinister comics...

[NathanielEssex]

What's up, guys? I'm just wondering if any of you knowledgeable X-Philes can give me titles and issue numbers where Mr. Sinister appeared. As you can probably surmise by my screen name, I'm interested in collecting as many appearances by him as possible. Becoming one of my favorite villains ever. Thanks in advance!!!!! :)

Mister Sinister is first mentioned in Uncanny X-Men #212, seen in shadow in Uncanny X-Men #213, but his first official appearance is Uncanny X-Men #221-222 to kill Madelyne Pryor. Sinister next appears in Uncanny X-Men #239-243 & X-Factor #39. Mr. Sinister's true origin was hinted in Classic X-Men #41-42. Get these issues first then buy his other appearances listed on uncannyxmen.net.

Again, I thank you!!

fishtaco and DDM = :cool:

[Joe Acro]

Wasn't he also in one of the Weapon X stories? I seem to remember such a thing. If so, what did he do in it?

Go there and type in a name and it will list in order every book they have been in.

Check out Weapon X #14 for the last great Sinister story before Marvel pushed him to wayside for no reason again.

Check out X-Men Annual '95 for the most underrated Sinister story to date as well. "I will get my way...I always get MY way."

Check out Weapon X #14 for the last great Sinister story before Marvel pushed him to wayside for no reason again.That was a great issue by Tieri. And Claremont started to follow up on it in Excalibur buuutttttt that was cancelled because of Beavis. I mean Bendis.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

A story I was DYING to see too. I wanted to see the first mainstream confrontation with Magneto and Sinister..especially after the build up Claremont did in #7.

Honestly...it's like your pulling it from left field. I'm not trying to be a bastard on this one but dam Fishtaco. Was that really necessary to bash Bendis? So Claremont had a story he didn't get to tell, I know, we've all heard it. It would have been like another chapter added to the Bible, but it didn't happen. Not every thread has to be a "Hail Claremont, BOOO Bendis/Millar/Whedon/Milligan/Morrison/Austen/just about anyone else". For once, just leave it to the dam topic of the thread. It's about Sinister's appearances and history. Not WHAT IF.

I must admit a little curiosity, what was Claremont's origin for Sinister going to be?

Yes. That's right. Bendis himself said he would only write House of M if Excalibur got canceled. This is public stuff. Everybody knows.



Bendis is therefore my new hero.

Ok, a kid at Scott's orphanage (who really hated him, I guess) created Mr. Sinister to be the ultimate villian. (DDM or Fishtaco can proberly give the long version.)

I personally think the canon origin is better, which begs the question who wrote that orgin? Peter Milligan?

It can't be Milligan he's a horrible writer....ooooh wait a minute, no he's not.

I must admit a little curiosity, what was Claremont's origin for Sinister going to be?Gambit was created to be a villain. He joined the team and would have betrayed them, if Chris Claremont had stayed on X-Men past 1991. Claremont would have revealed that Gambit and Mr. Sinister are both byproducts of a mutant child Cyclops met at the Orphanage in Nebraska named "Nathan", who has made only one appearance in Classic X-Men #42. Gambit was the positive side of "Nathan", while Sinister is the negative. "Nathan" is 8 years old and ages one year every ten years.

I like both Claremont's origin for him, and Milligan's, but because we already saw hints of Claremont's origin published, I would have prefered it if the editors wouldn't let Milligan go ahead and tell the origin in Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix #'s 1-4. Danglers, ya know. :)

Wow. That idea sounds dreadful.

Long live Pete Milligan!

From what I have read, so far, the idea is that Mr. Sinister is supposed to be some sort of alternate ego of Billy Batson, who when he imagines something it comes true. Another I read was just about a man who is 50 years old, but he has not aged physically, and looks like an 8 year old boy, if the quote was real, Claremont stated that the boy/man was pissed, well I quess I would be too. giggle. Anyway either way, Sinister is supposed be a physical manifestation of the boys imagination.

Either way I am not really thrilled by this. There is plenty of existing information, already, to make a really good storyline for this character. I really liked the story about Sinister in The Further adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix, good stuff.

It was written on one of those pages I read, that the boy that had so much interest in Scott Summers, was perhaps the same mentally ill, boy/man. Also that this man has only aged about 1 year, compared to 10 years for other people.

Do you remember a book called "The Many Minds of Billy Milligan"? About a man with multipule personally syndrome.

Sinister has the potential to be a really great Supervillian. But super pervert was not exactly what I had in mind.

[Random X]

I agree with you on that one fish.
