Base of Operations: Secret base located underneath an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska
Past Group Affiliations: Leader of Marauders
Known Powers:
Telepathy: Unearthly rank. Established power stunts:
- Astral Travel and Mastery. All of Sinister’s FEAT rolls on the Astral plane get a +2 CS.
- Memory Control. Sinister can enter a person’s mind and fill it with false memories. He can also destroy a person’s memories, to the point of wiping the victim’s mind clean of any memories and personality.
- Power Control. If he has a chance to work on a person’s mind when they are young, or while they are unconscious for a long period of time, he can put mental restraints on them so that they can not use their powers against him. Only a successful red Psyche FEAT roll will free them from the mental restraints.
- Force bolts of Unearthly intensity.
- Force shields of Unearthly intensity.
Equipment:
Base: Sinister was mentally linked with every part of his base. The parts of the base itself could shape change and move independently, according to his mental commands. The base could form various offensive and defensive devices, in addition to various other pieces of high-tech equipment and restraints. Any one ability or power of the base could have a maximum intensity of Monstrous.
Mutant Detection: Mister Sinister apparently had mutant detecting equipment similar to Professor X’s Cerebro, allowing Unearthly Intensity mutant detection.
Limitations:
For some unknown reason, Sinister is extremely vulnerable to Cyclops’ eye-beams. Cyclops’ force beams are able to go through Sinister’s force shield, and they receive a +2CS on their damage rank when used against Sinister. (Note that this may not be true, but just an act)
Talents:
Sinister was trained in Medicine, Engineering, Psychiatry, Bio-Chemistry, Genetics, Cloning, Computers and Electronics. He also has the Resist Domination and Leadership talents.
Contacts:
Mister Sinister was the leader of the Marauders, and he was apparently able to make clones of any of the Marauders that were killed.
Role-Playing Notes:
Mister Sinister is a ruthless man who does not mind destroying peoples’ lives to gain more power. A powerful mutant mastermind, he prefers to work in the background, letting the Marauders do his dirty work. An arrogant and confident villain, he expects complete obedience and perfection from his followers. His main goal seems to be to gain mental control over as many mutants as possible.
History:
The origin of Mister Sinister is unknown, and will probably remain that way. It is known that he had already built an advanced base under an orphanage in Omaha, by the time that Scott Summer’s (Cyclops) parents were kidnapped by the alien Shi’rah. Cyclops used his powers to save his brother and himself from a fall from an airplane, when their parents were taken. Sinister’s sensors detected the use of the mutant power and Sinister located them.
Sinister had them both transferred to his orphanage, but he allowed Alex to be adopted by foster parents. Sinister wanted to keep Scott and put him under his control. Sinister tried to mentally put blocks on Scott’s powers, while at the same time never letting Scott consciously know he existed. A stubborn Scott resisted Sinister, until Sinister was forced to create Scott’s ruby quartz glasses, so that Scott could control his powers.
Luckily, Professor X got Scott away from the orphanage and trained him to be the leader of the X Men. Over the years Sinister kept close watch on Scott and the X-Men, and even somehow gained a tissue sample from Jean Gray (Marvel Girl). He used the tissue sample to create a clone of Jean Gray. The clone would later become imbued with a portion of the Phoenix Force. Sinister would give the clone a set of false memories, and the name of Madelyne Pryor.
Sinister arranged for Scott and the clone to meet, hoping they would fall in love. Sinister knew that any offspring from their union would produce a powerful mutant that he wanted in his power. Things went as Sinister planned, and soon Madelyne and Scott had a son.
Meanwhile, Sinister sent his Marauders on a mutant killing spree. The Marauders attacked the Morlocks who lived in the sewers of New York City. This bought the Marauders into conflict with the X-Men, which ended in a stalemate. During the battle, the Marauders mentioned Mister Sinister, but that is all the X-Men would learn about him for a long time.
Scott left Madelyne to go to the newly resurrected Jean Gray at about the same time that Sinister decided to take Scott and Madelyne’s son. Sinister’s Marauders got the baby, but Madelyne escaped.
When the events known as the Inferno began, Madelyne, who had now become the Goblin Queen, took her baby from Sinister’s base and easily defeated Sinister. During the battle she learned of Sinister’s plans and her real origin. The bitter Madelyne swore to destroy the baby, thus ending Sinister’s plans.
During her final battle with Jean Gray, Madelyne mentally informed Jean about Sinister and Madelyne’s real origin. After the battle, and Madelyne’s death, the X-Men and X Factor swore to get Sinister.
Before they could do anything, Sinister mentally attacked Jean. Psylocke, using her mental powers, transported the astral bodies of herself, Wolverine, Storm and Cyclops into Jean’s mind. There they discovered Sinister destroying Madelyne’s memories, which Jean had absorbed before Madelyne died. Wolverine and Storm convinced the last remnants of Madelyne’s personality to fight back, which drove Sinister out of Jean’s mind.
Jean, while Sinister was in her mind, learned that he was waiting for them at Professor X’s Mansion. The heroes were attacked by members of the Marauders when they got there, and defeated them. While questioning Polaris, who had been possessed by the entity known as Malice, the Mansion exploded. The explosion knocked out all the X-Men, but Polaris stayed conscious. Sinister arrived and ordered her to kill all the X-Men but Jean Gray.
Polaris and Sinister were stopped by the late arrival of Longshot and the Beast. Slowly, the other members of the X-Men and X-Factor woke up and attacked. Unfortunately, Sinister and Polaris seemed to be able to counter the heroes’ every move. During the battle, Sinister easily placed Scott under his control and told him about the real life Scott had in the orphanage.
The desperate heroes realized that Sinister might be vulnerable to Scott’s force beams, since he had made sure of putting Scott out of commission first. While the others attacked, Scott’s brother, Alex, tried to make Scott mad enough to break free of Sinister’s control. At the same time, Alex was releasing his plasma bolts at Scott, which increase the power of Scott’s force beams.
Suddenly, Sinister got possession of Jean and kissed her. The mere sight of this broke Sinister’s control, allowing Scott to fire his beams at Sinister. Beast snatched Jean away before the amplified force beams reached Sinister. The beams hit Sinister dead on and totally destroyed his physical body.
Considering Sinister’s mental powers, and his cloning skills, there is a chance that Sinister might reappear.
