The Genesis of the Chimera: Incoming! Spoilers

[Askani5]

I sort of want to say it was bad writing to put Sinister in his current position of power. He betrayed them in Moira's former life and obviously will again. Unless Xavier and Mags see through his BS and are expecting his betrayal it makes no sense.

No itÂ’s not... they want him to create the Chimera. ThatÂ’s how the mutants were able to survive in the future. They created Krakoa with the knowledge of the future from Moira. They are expecting Sinister to betray them. ItÂ’s more of a keep your enemies closer kinda scenario. They are playing 3dimensional chess with Sinister. It will be fascinating to see how it will plays out because everyone in the Silent Council has their own agenda. If Hickman and company plays their cards right this run could be one of the best simply from all the possibilities from this new status quo.

So is the Chimera Onslaught 3.0?

I'd still call it bad writing because the series is heavily playing up the 'natural evolution vs. cheating with machinery and robotics', except mutants are only capable of advancing/surviving with genetic engineering and the technology and Cerebro and Forge. It muddles the message into 'using technology to advance is bad when other people do it'

[AbnormallyNormal]

Seems pretty good. I'm intrigued a bit

And the Five needs a sequenced DNA to perform the resurrection process , and the flowers of Krakoa doesn't actually grow in Krakoa. I think part of the idea is show the hypocrisy of all this

Wouldn’t Nate grey be a chimera

Everyone is cheating. No one can point a finger at the other

This could actually be a way to bring back fan favorite mutants without time travel/alt universe complications. I mean, I’m sure Sinister will birth new mutants via genetic manipulation in adulthood or at least early adolescence. We could get Ruby Summers, Nocturne (if/when Scarlet Witch is revealed to be a mutant), Tenia-Jean (with the caveat that Wanda isn’t a mutant), Kymera, Megan Frost-Summers, Pavel Rasputin, Becka Munroe, etc

That is not what chimeras are. And x-men doesn't need a bunch of white new characters

Yep. My fav white characters are Nocturne, Kymera, Becka Munroe, and Tenia-Jean.

Now that I think about all of this. Wouldn't Synch be closer to a natural example of one? Why go through all the work when the gene to do this must reside with Synch.

[gambitxremy]

Nate grey is a clone of both jean grey and cyclops so technically he would be chimera.

[Synch340]

I read that sinister was creating chimera using the body of thunderbird ; I’d rather have thunderbird back, thank you.

Actually this Sinister is a Chimera. He has Thunderbird's DNA.

No. He is not a clone. He was bred from Scott and Jean's DNA. If he is a "clone" then we are all clones lol.

A Chimera has DNA from more than one mutant. He only has Thunderbird's so not a chimera.

[gambitxremy]

No. He is not a clone. He was bred from Scott and Jean's DNA. If he is a "clone" then we are all clones lol.

In the parallel reality known as The Age of Apocalypse, Mister Sinister, one of the elite Horsemen of the High Lord Apocalypse, artificially created Nate (naming him Nathaniel Grey), from genetic material from Cyclops and Phoenix. Sinister created Nate as the ultimate mutant and hoped to use him in his own bid for power against Apocalypse.[1]

Nate Grey hailed from the timeline in which the eternal mutant Apocalypse had conquered North America. Created by Apocalypse’s Horseman Sinister from genetic material taken from the mutant heroes Cyclops and Jean Grey
