What's he up to in 616(?) these days?

Let's see!

Wikipedia posted:

In the X-Men Forever series, Essex is still an immortal over a century old. However, he is stuck in the body of a ten-year-old child. Sinister is actually a combination of armored suit/hologram used by Essex to command the Maurauders, reasoning no one would follow his true appearance. He poses as a child at a science lab that uses young mutants and targets Scott Summers's son, Chris. The series ends with Chris being kidnapped on orders from Sinister.

X-Men Forever isn't 616 (hence being under "Other versions"). This would be the most current update from Wiki:

quote:

With the release of the Terrigen Mist in the atmosphere of the Earth, it was discovered the substance was actually incredibly toxic with long-term exposure for mutants.[46] Mr. Sinister began experimenting on unwilling subjects, trying to make Inhuman and Mutant DNA co-exist in order to allow the creation of a genetically superior species of mutants. Sinister caught the attention of the X-Men after the disappearance of Colossus and Magik at the hands of the Marauders. When Sinister was confronted by the group of mutants, he deployed his only successful specimen, the seemingly-revived Cyclops. It is also revealed that he has several clones of Gambit, Cyclops, Cannonball, Sabretooth, Mystique, and several others which he maintains locked as his prize collection.[47] The revived Cyclops was, however, revealed to be actually another experiment of Sinister who combined Scott Summers' genetic material with Inhuman DNA.

I didn’t think there was a way to make Scott Summers more boring, but apparently mixing in some Inhuman dna did the trick.

The one where he and both ant-men are tiny, being attacked by a spider, and Peter says "I'll handle this, I have the proportional strength of a spider!" Next panel he's getting lifted by the spider, and old ant-man say "...but so does the spider!"

This sounds like a good setup for a what if story where Sinister gets his hands on the Infinity Gauntlet.

They're on a boat already? Man, this plot is really moving along.

I'm kinda thinking that Connors is actually Mysterio, and the comic is dropping hints that this guy has two working arms.

That was during AvX, when Sinister got his hands on some cosmic power. He took over a big chunk of Subterrania and created a perfect nation where every citizen was him. It was pretty great.

If Sinister is involved in NSM, he's probably already replaced MJ with an evil clone.

You're dramatically overestimating how properly/safely the average person drives.

We should count ourselves lucky that Connors isn't constantly switching his one arm between his phone and the steering wheel.

When Connors turns into the Lizard, MJ will be able to run to safety by:

a) venturing farther into a remote swamp filled with lizards
b) ummm

Knormal

Fun fact, there are actually fairly few species of lizard in the Everglades. There are more now because of all the invasive species, but really the only native lizard you'd find in the swamp parts of the Everglades is the green anole. The upland drier parts would have a few skinks and legless lizards, and a gecko, but somehow there ended up being no native aquatic lizards in the swamp. Snakes and turtles are another story.

So what I guess I'm saying is The Lizard is going to end up being defeated by loneliness in that form too.

The MSJ
May 17, 2010

He's going to accidentally use legless lizard DNA and lose all his limbs.

Alternatively, he's going to use turtle or crocodile DNA, which will lead to Barry Allen Speed-Forcing his way into the comic to hand them a cease-and-desist letter.
