Mutants Will Face Mr. Sinister in ‘X-Men 97’
During the San Diego Comic-Con 2022 panels in the United States, Marvel announced ‘X-Men 97’, the sequel to the 90s animated series, which is scheduled to premiere in the fall of 2023 (31 years after the launch of the original series) and will pay homage to several original characters.
Of course, this time Professor X will not be responsible for guiding the mutants, because in the last episode of the fifth season he was transferred to the Shi’Ar empire in search of treatment after falling ill, so now Erik Lehnsherr, better known as Magneto, will be the team leader.
Since Magneto is one of the main enemies of the X-Men, the question has arisen among many Marvel fans about the new villain that the mutants will face, and it turns out that Mr. Sinister (Nathaniel Essex) will be the main enemy. The White Queen and Sebastian Shaw, from the Hellfire Club, will also try to put an end to the X-Men and destabilize the coexistence between humans and mutants.
Who is Mr. Sinister (Nathaniel Essex) in Marvel Comics?
Mr. Sinister is a character created by Chris Claremont and designed by Marc Silvestri for The Uncanny X-Men comics, in 1986, to play the role of a supervillain hiring a team of assassins to take blood samples from the X-Men .
Mr. Sinister is supposed to be a scientist named Nathaniel Essex, who hails from Victorian London. But his obsession with Charles Darwin’s theories leads him to dream of creating a perfect race of superhumans from researching mutants (beings who, according to the comics, were born with the X gene, which gives them their superpowers).
So he teams up with a mutant named Apocalypse to help him transform into an immortal being using alien technology. Over the years, his research leads him to gain more powers and theorize that combining Cyclops’ DNA with Jean Gray’s could eventually create the perfect mutant. As such, a rivalry with the X Men team begins.
