HistoryEdit
Sinister was a scientist working for Norman Osborn who specialized in stealth and mind-altering drugs. He might have experimented on Gambit during the mutant's youth. Sinister’s outer appearance is striking; he is a muscle-bound, heavily tattooed bodybuilder. He has the word Sinister tattooed on his forearm, hence his name. He experimented on himself and acquired superhuman powers, namely the ability of mind control—so strong that even Professor X could not neutralize him, enabling Sinister to throw him down a flight of stairs—and being invisible to anything but the naked eye. His powers are strong enough that he can kill a person by telling them, “Choke yourself.”
However, he also lost his sanity in his process, and began to hallucinate a Lord Apocalypse, who “ordered” him to kill mutants. After shooting several young mutants (possibly Marrow, Maggott, Synch and Destiny), he failed to kill Jean-Paul Beaubier and tried to kill the X-Men, but was incapacitated by Rogue and imprisoned in the Triskelion of the Ultimates. It is there that he sees visions of Lord Apocalypse. The vision has one command for him. “Choke yourself.” Sinister survived his suicide attempt and was placed on suicide watch.
Despite being on suicide watch, Essex managed to fake his own death and escape from the Triskelion, to complete his mutant murders. Upon killing a certain number of mutants, he transformed into Apocalypse, but was defeated by Phoenix, revealing his human body within the body of Apocalypse.
There Are No Rules
In the wake of Ultimatum, Dr Essex apparently reformed enough to be hired by the Roxxon corporation for a think tank. He now wears a long-sleeved shirt, to hide his tattoos, and is habitually clean-shaven.
