Your Unpopular/Controversial Opinions on the X-Universe

[Outburstz]

It is written that way to make Sinister relevant, with Dr Nemesis on there,Beast .Sinister is surplus to requirements.On the cloning, yes he is a clone but the finer point is Sinister was never a mutant, he made himself one through splicing mutant DNA into his own.He has always attempted to transcend mere mortal identity through eugenics and all sorts of technologically assisted enhancements the very definition of HN or 'transhumanism'

They don't obviously.As I said the need is 'baked into the cake' .with the intellect of Dr.Nemesis and Beast they could have started with some hidden cache of DNA samples collected from the 200 mutant survivors post M-day, or say Beast kept a school 'gene bank', and progress from there that being on Krakoa requires submitting blood samples. There are ways to make this work without Sinister.I don't even really care about Sinister..he is a villain and a classic one, but him being outside Krakoa only raises the stakes because with humans subjecting themselves to his research to gain parity with mutants is a treasure trove of story potential.Instead you have the unsavoury optics of mutants working with a HN while wagging fingers at humanity for putting mutants in peril by doing so.

There is nobody who has more DNA samples on mutants than Sinister. Stealing DNA samples is his whole thing. Saying Dr nem or Beast would have as much DNA samples as Sinister is flat out insulting.

Cutting deals with former enemies for the purpose of personal gain is something human nations have done for centuries. Yet suddenly it's a problem when mutants do it for the purpose of giving mutants a leg up on the rest of humanity.....

Magneto already spelled it out. "we are going to use humans own tricks against them."
