Problem with Sinister is that Apocalypse fits waaaay better as Scott's personal nemesis than him. From the TO virus on Cable to the possession, he did way more to create actual, nearly irrational, hatred than Sinister. It's hard to be propped as someone's worst enemy when someone else already has all the elements for it.
I think Sinister is enjoying torturing his “twisted little mind” while stalking n manipulating him. Scott’s gene is his main aim, but it won’t hurt if there’s also some extra fun. Understandable because Scott always has special attractions for telepaths, and Sinister is a creepy creepy telepath who keeps an eye on him all the time.
"He did it. Summers did it."
"I don't understand...What exactly did Cyclops do?"
"He kept his people alive."
I have always seen Sinister and Apocalypse as Scott's main enemies.
Sinister with all his obsession for Scott, in almost all the stories I've seen he's always linked to Scott in one way or another.
Apocalypse owned Scott and put his life upside down, almost killed Nathan and if I'm not mistaken the first time he appeared was in X-factor with Scott as their leader.
Well...
The origin of Sinister is linked directly to Scott and Jean, as seen in "The Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix". Nathaniel Essex is fascinated by the possibilities of mutant genes.
But...
When Scott was at the orphanage, Sinistro was there, as the mad scientist and as a boy, Scott's roommate. There are many signs that his interest was not simply scientific curiosity. The Sinister boy was obsessed with Scott, as if it were a sickly and dangerous passion.
I'd even say that this is a story about child abuse.
One of Scott's traumas would be the abuses he has suffered in the orphanage.
Sinister wasn't just a mad scientist but also a child molester.
Remember, the boy's name was Nate. Nathaniel Essex?
And Nate is one of the names Scott gave his son.
Unknowingly, Scott gave Cable the name of his own abuser.
The trauma, the shame, the guilt...
I'm not a psychologist. Maybe a psychologist can explain it better.
This blog has some good things on this subject.
"At the orphanage where he lives, Scott Summers intervenes in a fight between his roommate Nate and a bully named Toby, then is treated by orphanage's new doctor, Robyn Hanover, who takes an interest in the boy. That night, Scott has another recurring nightmare of falling and flames, while Toby is accosted by Mr. Sinister. The next day, a crowd gathers after Toby climbs up onto the roof of a building, preparing to jump. Despite Nate's objections, Scott rushes up after him and tries to talk Toby down. But Toby jumps, and Scott is unable to save him. Later, Dr. Hanover tries to comfort Scott, much to Nate's apparent displeasure."
