Comic Books: 10 major moments comic book fans should know about (November)
By Mark Lynch
4. Mr. Sinister continues to be sketchy
Comic book: Hellions No. 6
When Mr. Sinister joined the mutant nation of Krakoa, people were shocked. Of all the mutants, he’s the last person who should be trusted. He doesn’t care about anything except his work and looking good (Sassy Mr. Sinister has been a treasure). In October we found out that he was cloning himself – something he wasn’t supposed to be doing. Hellions No. 6 highlighted that he’s still a shady mad scientist. He stole the genetic codes of other beings while he was supposed to be stopping the battle during X of Swords. Just as he and the rest of the Hellions got back to Krakoa, he killed them and made it look like it was someone else.
Why is this important?
It’s bad enough that mutants have to deal with dozens of other things outside of Krakoa. They also have to deal with Sinister being a creep. What is Sinister up to? Is he looking to create a super mutant to destroy the world or is he just curious and weird? The funny thing is those last two are actual options. Sinister could just want them for the joy of science. When the rest of the Quiet Council finds out (and they will) Sinister is going to have some explaining to do.
