"If I have to behave, everyone does!" – Mister Sinister Appreciation 2020

[H-E-D]

Thanks to the work of Kieron Gillen, admirably continued by Jonathan Hickman and now Zeb Wells, Nathaniel Essex has become the Camp King of the X-Villains.

Long may he reign.

Gillen's Sinister is the best take on him in recent memory.

I'm not a big fan of putting Sinister in regular classical clothes. I mean, if he doesn't look like Transsexual Space Dracula, then really what's the point?

At first I don’t think I liked it. I remember reading him during Inferno and just remembering how kind of scary he was, but I am digging this. It doesn’t make him less scary. In a way it almost makes him more scary because I feel could switch from camp to frightening in a second. I’m living for him and his infatuation with his attire. Ha

At first this take on Essex was quite jarring for me in HoX/PoX but it's grown over time and in Hellions #1 he completely ran that issue and it became basically his book at this point (along with Maddy who also captured things with her end splash)

I am SO in LOVE with this eccentric, ultra goth glam, EXTRA AF, Sinister.

Thank you to all who crafted and continue to weave this mes of a monster.

Amen. Seconded. And whatever other words to emphasize this statement.

I just love the feeling that you can never truly win against Mr Sinister. A sort-of-Joker, but flamboyant, narcissistic, with all the resources and intellect to back him up.

Are ya'll epaulets getting bigger?

The first picture is indeed more decadent than the second one… more in the position of legs than the costume.

I'm loving this Sinister. He's too much fun. I like to think that he listens to "Gone with the Wind Fabulous" by Kenya Moore 24/7.

Beyond the original Inferno saga, I've never had much use for Sinister post-Claremont.

Until now. This bitch is fabulous.

"Alex has no excuse."
"Pull up your poopy pants Scott, you are so much prettier when you smile!"
"The are smelly, and they are stupid, and they are gee dee boring!"
"I'm bored Psylocke, tap in."

And complaining about Kitty taking the Marauders name lol
He needs to be like this all the time. And the scenes between him and Maddie will be EPIC.

[Rev9]

I don't know if he was just being cocky or serious.I know Sinister is incredibly smart and immortal(not like that matters on Krakoa) but to taunt Exodus is foolhardy me thinks. In a showdown my money would be on Exodus.

And BLESS this Bish for listing some of Sinny's BEST most recent lines because I couldn't remember them off the top of my head and now I'm just laughing at my office hahaha.
