I do feel they are building up Mr sinister to be some kind of a business man and he was going to be in the new mutants movie with actor Jon Hamm but later removed when redoing the movie to make it more scary
@@comicbookreviewer4856 At first he was going to be the main villain on Logan but they changed so that Sinister could be better used on other movies Gambit (now cancelled) or New Mutants (on the same route as Dark Phoenix).
There are so many different versions of the character's origin. In one version, he took the name "Sinister" because it was the last word his dying wife uttered at him with her very last breath. Upon realizing what cruelty he had been performing through his experiments all along.
This may be my absolute favorite episode. Mutants were mere speculation until Essex began his experiments. And in the span of a century theyve appeared all over the world
even as a kid I saw the drop in quality here. The early episodes had better art and animation. Though still not perfect. The emotional outbursts of the characters were incredibly awesome.
It still is. It's true that the animation took a hit toward the end of the show such as in this episode but the storytelling and characters are still strong.
This origin story is different than the story in the comic books. Apocalypse creates Sinister. He doesn't create himself like he does in this episode. Most of the rest of the story is the same but it seems strange they would change that detail in the show especially since Apocalypse was the main antagonist of this series and the link between Sinister and APocalypse was already established prior to this episode.
I have the comic series that tells Mister sinister origin I felt they missed a great deal to of used Sinister dead son as his reason for his work in the episode plus I do agree it did change a lot of details
@MalchiYAH The animation in the last season was terrible along with the writing. The final episode ended with Xavier going to space & Magneto turning babyface by siding with the XMen
I didn't think the fifth season of this show was that good after Storm Front, but this episode surprised me. An origin story for Sinister was something I was not expecting to see, but I was happy to take it.
"Mad, am I Darwin?! Fool! You are a mere spectator to creation! While I... I have become the creator!" That has to be one of my favorite villain speeches/monolgues. It's short, to the point, and blasphemous all at once!
@@sophiawilson8696 Sinister later made numerous clones of himself, experimented on them and had them live on a island in the South Pacific named Bar Sinister. He was able to give at least one of them a functioning X-Gene making said clone a full-fledged mutant. This clone later became leader of Bar Sinister after killing the previous leader who had rejected Prof. X and Magneto's proposal of gathering mutant DNA samples for the preservation of mutantkind. He accepted the proposal and joined the two on the living island nation of Krakoa as a member of the ruling Quiet Council.
And it was such a drastic drop in quality... the first few seasons feel really mature and mostly high quality. As the series concludes it gets more cartoony and weird looking
In the comics sinister was obsessed with Jean and Scotts bloodlines and he had a obsession with their family histories and seems to have known them. Since childhood
So, anti-mutant hatred was spawned in part by a livery cab driver with Dickensian grandiloquence, and a mob willing to believe the claims a man of his station (in 19th Century Britain) might make. Heh - should've made him Hank McCoy's ancestor to boot.
That and the other episodes could fit nicely with MCU. They could even make so far as Sinister's research (that was based on Apocalypse who in turn was created by Celestials' technology) influenced German scientists who later helped to create Captain America's serum.
Sorry. Could've word it better. But still... kinda crazy that that the conflict between Mr. Sinister and the X-men started long before they met And that's a better explanation on why Sinister is so obsessed with Jean
Mr Sinister’s origin is more darker due to the fact that he started his experiments after the death of his son Adam and one of his subjects was Daniel Summers ancestor of Cyclops.
I remember this episode and thinking a few things. Sinister isn't a born mutant at all, much like juggernaut and spiderman. .this episode makes it seem like he was the person to create mutants in the first place but he's not. Just another crazy back story, who lived for a very long time.
Although I like Mr. Sinister, this episode felt like a bad soap opera. I want to see Storm, Rogue and Gambit. In the first two seasons, the writers had a rule that all the X-Men members must appear in every episode. It was better that way.
7 x-men movies, + 5 side movies (3 from wolverine and 2 from Deadpool) and even the new mutants, and the closest thing we get to Mr. Sinister in the movies is an Easter egg in Deadpool 2? We got dark Phoenix and magneto as the main antagonists multiple times, apocalypse once, but no mr. Sinister? He is one of the main antagonists of the x-men, but instead of putting him in x-men 4, they had to rehash dark Phoenix? What a waste
Yes. YES! I've done it! Ah-hahaha ha ha ha haaa! Mad am I, darlin'? FOOL! You are a mere spectator to creation. While I,...I have become,....THE CREATOR! HAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Mister Sinister is a variation of My Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange Benedict Cumberbatch 🧙♂️💙♥️ and a variation of Sinister Strange from Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
@@johnnygyro2295 It's different origin and alter character style different from comic Ex : Ridder was a toy maker in the Batman Animated Series Ridder was autopsy examine in Gotham Magneto was team with X Men in X Men first class
@CulinaryJoey I'm aware. Adaptations/retelling have a habit of shaking things up. For example, it's also implied that Sinister's wife Rebecca Grey is an ancestor of Jean's, hence why he's interested in her bloodline.
Mister Sinister must have played God to Mutants. The mutant James Xavier met in London were just the opening act. Mister Sinister was Jean Grey's ancestor. Nathanial Essex's experiments were deemed too dangerous. A mutant story origin connected to a Grey family sounds fishy.
Maniacal laughter obsessed with power constantly experimenting and at some point he comes into contact with apocalypse hopefully he doesn't become some obsessed psychotic Mad Men on Power and Conquest mutant genetics which could lead to catastrophic out of this world problems that just can't be solved
He would be a Mutate. A mutant is someone who is born with their powers and usually discovers it in their youth, like all of X-men. A Mutate is a human who gets powers through some kind of outside force. A good example being Bruce Banner when he got his powers after being exposed to all the gamma rays. Or when Peter Parker got bit by a radioactive spider and gained all the abilities of a spider.
The movies were really questionable in the FOX universe they never presented any character at their most purest.The first movie should’ve really focused on teens dealing with their mutant powers emerging and making certain choices to how to manage they’re mutant gifts either for good or evil joining either Charles Xavier mutant rights group the “X Men” or Magneto’s group who fights for mutant rights by any means necessary.Magneto and Professor X could recruit mutants across all over New York City and the World.Mr Sinister would be mentioned by his notes in the theory of evolution by Dr Hank McCoy and that some of the mutant test sites was financed by the ideas of Nathaniel Essex with his company being rightfully named Essex Corps.This would be the best way to represent Mr Sinister in the reality of the X Men by having him be the one who created the early mutants of the 21st century and later him being responsible for the deaths of the imperfect mutants known as The Morlocks.The Morlocks movie would also feature the character of NightCrawler being introduced with him seeking refuge after traveling to America to escape from the persecution of himself in Germany but only to find things are much worse in America as well.En Sabah Nur should’ve been the fourth villain of the X Men appearing after the storyline formed by X2:X Men United after God Loves Man Kills seeing the struggle of the current mutant race.God Loves Man Kills storyline would also see the introduction of The Sentinels who would receive their appearance from Days Of Future Past(their look in the 1970’s not the future).Caliban would be introduced as someone that government has working for them to find mutants captured by the Weapon Plus Project to find mutants and so the Reavers could remove them or capture them.Sugar Man would be introduced as the creature experimenting on the mutants on GenoSha who would amplify their powers for government use.Sugar Man being the mutant who experimented on Hank McCoy and gave him his blue fur appearance.
Why can't they just simply follow the origin in the comic books? Mr. Sinister was created by apocalypse,.. Mister Sinister woke apocalypse up and told him he was the first mutant he had encountered,. Apocalypse cold Sinister if you serve me I'll give you a fast unimaginable powers and immortality,. Sinister agreed but then it turned betrayed apocalypse.. and if you follow the books apocalypse is the only one he's afraid of
Who is Mr. Sinister? A character that the filmmakers somehow never got to. He would be a great villian of given a chance in the movies.
I do feel they are building up Mr sinister to be some kind of a business man and he was going to be in the new mutants movie with actor Jon Hamm but later removed when redoing the movie to make it more scary
They also need to do omega red and wolverine rivalry

Joseph they wasted that chance, he would have been good, after apocalypse
the movies think magneto is the ONLY villain

Because of the Atomic Age of 40's and 50's. It because a huge population of mutants.
Mr. Sinister was not only a dope villain, but had a DOPE NAME. I can't wait to see him done justice live action.
When you're a kid, this is great television.
even as a kid I saw the drop in quality here. The early episodes had better art and animation. Though still not perfect. The emotional outbursts of the characters were incredibly awesome.

Wasn't the Apocalypse-created Sinister more of a Ultimate series thing though?
Nice touch to include Jack The Ripper as one of his henchmen.
Jack the Ripper is an mutant
@@johnpaulgontor2362 He was originally supposed to be Carnage in Spiderman S6

The fifth season was apparently surprise to them, so they seem to have experimented a bit.
Nathaniel Essex is a cross between Dr. Victor Frankenstein and Dr. Henry Jekyll the original mad scientists.
In the comics, you can Dr Faust as an inspiration...
You don't have to be a genius to notice that.
"Mad, am I Darwin?! Fool! You are a mere spectator to creation! While I... I have become the creator!" That has to be one of my favorite villain speeches/monolgues. It's short, to the point, and blasphemous all at once!
Loved this series, especially how it grabbed storylines from the then current X-Men comics and animated for the TV show.
I always thought Mr Sinisters look was badass
He looks like a vampire
In the comic Apocalypse was the one who changed sinister into a mutant.
No a mutate.

And it was such a drastic drop in quality... the first few seasons feel really mature and mostly high quality. As the series concludes it gets more cartoony and weird looking

“That’s ’MISTER, Mr. Sinister’ to YOU!”
mr sinister made jack the ripper. wow
“Essex is no more. From this day forward, you shall address me as RICK JAMES, BITCH!”
I would make Mr. Sinister's origin similar to the Hammer films especially Peter Cushing's Frankenstein series.
Not that far off.
Mr Sinister is a Vampire 🧛
Not really
Of course.
Sinister turns out to be a Brit.
A Brit?
@@phantomthiefjoker939 English, from the UK.
@@ShadowSonic2 Ah, got it. Thanks.
Well he was always British
@@JoseGonzalez-hp9uy
I think you missed the sarcasm.
They connected both Nathaniel Essex and the Jean Grey Bloodline in this show.
In the comics sinister was obsessed with Jean and Scotts bloodlines and he had a obsession with their family histories and seems to have known them. Since childhood

Just when I thought I saw all the episodes, I never saw this one on tv as a kid.
Don't think I ever seen this episode before thanks
It kind of hinted at that Mister sinister used Xavier ancestors D.N.A. to make Jack the ripper as they almost look a like
comic book reviewer so sinster created jack the ripper
Well he did say I gave you life jack witch shows he made Jack the ripper most likely from the D.N.A. from Xavier ancestor
Love that guy !!!
I bet mister sinister and doctor frankenstein will become best bubs and even partners huh.
Dude so cold had his entrance track😂...mwahahahaha !
That and the other episodes could fit nicely with MCU. They could even make so far as Sinister's research (that was based on Apocalypse who in turn was created by Celestials' technology) influenced German scientists who later helped to create Captain America's serum.
He is the definition of “Mad Scientist”.
interesting i remember this part
0:30 "I AM COOCOO FOR COCOPOPS!"
Apparently, the Xavier family tree is the same as the Joestarr family tree where every generation ends up butting heads with a super villain or two
I thought this was an improvement over his comic book origin.
Lord Grey?.As in ancestor of Jean Grey?
Yes he is
Jean is actually rebeca's descent
Sorry. Could've word it better. But still... kinda crazy that that the conflict between Mr. Sinister and the X-men started long before they met
And that's a better explanation on why Sinister is so obsessed with Jean
yes, and i think ther`s even a issue when Sinister kisses Jean...wired hu?
@@davidlopes8519 definitely
Literal mad scientist
The book is different he wakes up apocalypse
00:30 smoothest animation Ive ever seen.
So Jean could very well be related to Mister Sinister
In the comics, Sinister clones Jean..which of course means he's seen her buck ass naked.
No like wife is, not sure if they any children.
@@sophiawilson8696 still one would have to wonder.
Could be a type of cousin or something times great grandniece of his wife.
He had a obsession with Jean and Scott even had her cloned
Wolverine kept a lock oh her hair
"They Speak of...'sinister'... experiments..."
Me: RRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL....CCCRRREEEEEDDDDDDIIIITTTTTTSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

I still like him being connected to Scott
MCU please do this character and the X-Men franchise right!
Yeah, I don't want any sympathetic traits or relatablity. Just straight up evil.
So James didn’t notice Essex was blue when he came in

“Jack”? As in “Jack the Ripper”?
I thought Sinister got his white skin and menacing look because of Apocalypse
He did. They started going a bit off the rails in later seasons.
@raymund usi you are correct. Sinister became the subject of experiment for Apocalypse
Comics cannon is not cartoon cannon. Apocalypse made Sinister.
Sinister is like bizarro world Bolivar Trask.
Sinister literally created mutants
Tell. Apocalypse that

Its Sinister.....MR Sinister. 😨😨
Bryan singer needs to do a live movie with this variation of mister sinister with jean and scott.
Charles Darwin was one of the most famous scientists ever
Never saw this episode in the 90s
Oh snap, I knew I’ve heard that voice before, and it’s Chief Yagami from Death Note!
Wish they would make a live action film centered on the mad character.
I've been looking for this "lost" episode for a long time. It's not part of the DVD collection.
