Spurrier interview on 'Nightcrawlers' & #1 Preview Art

[Master of Sound]

What of Mother Righteous is not the 4th Sinister, but some future Chimera here to stop the Sinistets? Have we ever considered this?

Asking as it seems they are fighting the Doc Stasis Sinister and MR seems to be controllingv the team in the background.

Well, it seems so to me.

[BobbysWorld]

Eh, I don't think we can read too much into any of the presumed Sinisters opposing each other as its a pretty safe bet all versions of that narcissist play by Highlander "There can only be one" rules.

[CaptainUniverse]

Spider-Crawler? Hmm...I might pick this up.

[Rift]

If it's references you want, there's a lot of A Canticle For Leibowitz here.

Canticle

Mercury Look, it's our thing ��

omfg. You remembered. You are too f’ing cute. 🥹

P.S. I want more Salty pics.

Looks good, but I am a little confused at the need to create a Toad-Kurt and a Spidey-Kurt hybrid. I understand the point of combining powers, but what would a Hybrid-Kurt gain from getting genes from those two? Yes, his main power is teleportation, but he already posseses enhanced agility, I don't see how adding Toad or Spidey to the mix enhances that, like it does with a Sabertooth or Domino hybrid.

[Shortpack!]

The "flaw" is that they have an instinctual desire to obey and worship only Hellion.

YEAR X100, THE YEAR OF HELLION LET'S GO

I remember way back in when this was the guy everyone REALLY talked about...

He WILL have his return...

[BobbysWorld]

If you squint and look at the preview art really hard, I bet you could find a smudge that might be a Shortpack-Nightcrawler!

Their name could be Itty-Bitty-crawler.

Toad could just be a fun little experiment - low reward, low risk - to start things off. Or maybe Sinister was able to tap into Toad's various other powers, like acidic or paralyzing fluids, and a fire tongue.

Spider-Man also has super strength and Spider-Sense. There's also the webbing, which could easily be made organic for this incarnation.

Sorry, this is Hellion's board now.

You know what.. this is leftfield ,but it could be that indeed Righteous is created by Sinister ,but not as an iteration of Sinister himself, but to screw with Destiny always messing up his plans. I mean IXM3 teased Mystique never makes it in any life/reality..what if it's not only Destiny who has seen it ,but Sinister too? So he's like ok Mystique is key to tethering my reality and he cooks a Mystique chimera perhaps with powers of other council members, or not even that but a real Mystique of one timeline read Destiny's diaries, realized she has to amass power by any means to fix reality and get rid of Sinister altogether(perhaps she feels his Moira re-sets keep them apart). Either way that creature/Mystique is going her own way to destroy her creator or buck fate(whichever holds true )and unravel everything. I mean MR being Sinister of hearts is pretty predictable ,but her being crafted as Mystique to tether the timeline or actually being Mystique and through her own machinations getting magical power to undo the timeline would be pretty cool This way the intrigue of who and where Sinister of hearts is still lingers until a proper reveal.

[Nicoclaws]

Oh I'm reaaaally interested in this. Damn you Spurrier and your pretentious verbiage !
Also, I love Medina's clean art !

I think Mother Righteous is definitely the fourth in the set, but we are getting hints that she’s the most unique out of the four. Not only is magic a pretty big departure from what the other three dabble in, but she seems less outwardly villainous, and not to state the obvious but she’s the only woman of the group.

WILD GUESS, but perhaps she’s based off the genetic code of Sinister’s late wife. The “Mother” title could be a reference to the child that they lost, which is what sent Sinister on this crazy path in the first place.

[Rift]

She's also British.

[BobbysWorld]

She's also British.

To be specific, she's written with a pretty distinctly Cockney accent. This is noteworthy because that accent is stereotypically associated with lower or working class Londoners - particularly among older generations. Someone speaking with it would almost certainly be looked down upon by a self-acknowledged elitist like Essex was known to be even BEFORE the original Essex's transformation into Mr. Sinister over a century ago.

I'm curious whether its Mother Righteous' natural accent, and what that might signify, or whether perhaps its a self-chosen affectation, maybe even as a deliberate choice to further set herself apart from the other three Sinister clones, or even the original Essex himself?
