It takes more than bullets -- or a harlot's kiss -- to kill Nathaniel Essex.
He is a powerful mutant supervillain that is often depicted as being the right-hand ofApocalypse, although they tend to use each other only for their own ends and eventually go on their separate ways. A brilliant geneticist, he is obsessed with evolution and evolving humanity, as well as creating what he views to be the perfect mutant, with his schemes to do so frequently bringing him into conflict with theX-Men.
He is also the archenemy of the Summers Family in general, particularlyCyclops, being personally responsible for manipulating and orchestrating numerous tragedies in the former's life, as well as his creation,Madelyne Pryor. He was the main antagonist of several story arcs over the years before being demoted to disciple of Apocalypse. However after cutting ties with Apocalypse, he has become the main antagonist of Hellions and the Sins of Sinister event. The Krakoa era reveals that Sinister was just a clone of Nathaniel Essex and an unwitting pawn of Enigma. He is the most common enemy of the X-Men, only behindMagneto and Apocalypse.
During the 19th Century, before his mutation, he was an ordinary archaeologist named Nathaniel Essex, after he had an encounter with the mutantApocalypse who used his technology to transform Essex into "Sinister", the last dying word from his wife ever spoken to him. Soon after, a time displaced Gambit and Courier approached Sinister for help. Sinister agreed to help them, as long as he could have a DNA sample from Courier. This DNA sample allowed Sinister to replicate Courier shape shifting abilities, and within Sinister’s own body.
By the early 20th Century, Sinister had cracked the genetic genome and was willing to share the information with Herbert Edgar Wyndham, who would later become theHigh Evolutionary.
During World War II, Sinister had worked alongside the Nazis, conducting experiments in concentration camps and collecting as many blood samples as he could. It was during this time that he first saw Sub-Mariner, and was inspired to create an exact copy of the Superbeing. The clone was experiment N2 and had varied success against the original Namor but was defeated by Captain America, shortly afterwards. Some time later, Sinister recruited Gambit to gather together the Marauders and ordered the massacre of the Morlocks.
Sinister had then cloned Jean Grey in the form ofMadelyne Pryor, so that Cyclops would have a child with her, which Sinister would view as the Ultimate mutant. Eventually, Cyclops then rejected Pryor when Jean returned from stasis, and the youth would be carried to the future, where he would return to present era as Cable. Sinister's machinations would lead to the event known as Inferno, where Cyclops supposedly killed Sinister with an optic blast, although Sinister then resurfaced alive and well, when he revealed that there was a third brother of Summers.
Sinister was involved inStryfe's attempted assassination of Charles Xavier, trading Cyclops & Jean Grey to Stryfe in exchange for their DNA. However, Stryfe actually gave Sinister the Legacy Virus, which would terrorize both mutant and eventually human organic life altogether, and lead to the deaths of several other mutants.
Sinister later involved himself with Nate Grey and the mutant Threnody. He joined the reestablished Weapon X program as Doctor Robert Windsor, claiming to help fellow mutants escape Weapon X's mutant concentration camp "Neverland," but in reality, he took them to be his test subjects for his experiments. During the Krakoa era it was shown that Mister Sinister is the diamond clone ofNathaniel Essex/Enigma who had other clones like Doctor Stasis, Orbis Stellaris and Mother Righteous.
Mister Sinister, also known by his true name Nathaniel Essex, is referenced in the post-credits scene ofX-Men Apocalypse, where a group of mysterious men dressed in suits are shown entering the Weapon X facility at Alkali Lake and retrieving vials containing Wolverine's blood. The vials are placed in a briefcase bearing the name "Essex."
He was meant to appear in the post-credits scene ofNew Mutants, being portrayed by Jon Hamm, who also playedBuddy inBaby Driver andHerb Overkill inMinions. He has since been removed from the film.
It is most likely that due toEssex Corp being under his name and that the organization has been behind certain events ofX-Men: Apocalypse (Weapon X data),Deadpool 2 (Headmaster andFirefist) andNew Mutants (Cecilia Reyes). Mister Sinister would have been the overarching villain of the New Timeline had the X-Men Cinematic Universe not ended withNew Mutants.
In the 2013 video gameDeadpool, Mister Sinister, or as Deadpool likes to call him, "Captain Douche", is the main antagonist, attempting to harvest mutant DNA from mutant corpses to become more powerful.
His first move is hiring the corrupt media mogul Chance White, sending the Marauders to save him from Deadpool, who was trying to kill him and fulfill a contract. After Deadpool killsArclight, the rest of the Marauders successfully bring White to Sinister, revealing that White was setting up satellites for Sinister to control. Deeming Chance no longer useful, Sinister orderedBlockbuster to beat the "filthy human" to death. Angered over losing his contract money, Deadpool attacks Sinister, killingVertigo with a gunshot and subduing Blockbuster with a kick before holding Sinister at gunpoint, demanding the money that the now-dead White owed him. The terrorist, however, easily defeated the Merc with a Mouth by using his telekinesis to violently dismember him, leaving Deadpool to regenerate unconscious.
Afterward, Sinister went to Genosha with the now-conscious Blockbuster in order to profane mutant corpses for their DNA, with Deadpool, the X-Men, and even Cable trying to stop him (Deadpool however, did not really care about Sinister's plan and just wanted to kill him for revenge over his lost contract). In his way to find Sinister, Deadpool interfered in his plans, killing a clone of him which was broadcasting a signal through a security tower, rescuing Rogue from Blockbuster, and stopping the profaning of corpses with Cable's help.

Wait, that was the real Sinister, right?

~ Deadpool after killing the real Sinister.
When Deadpool finally got to Mr. Sinister's base,Magneto's old citadel, the villain sent numerous clones, including that of the late Marauders, to fight him. After the Merc killed them all, the real Sinister finally showed up, angry with Deadpool's interference, quickly subduing the recently arrived X-Men using concussive blasts. Sinister started insulting Deadpool, calling him a "disgusting abomination, all while completely failing to notice he was standing right on a giant "X" the mercenary had painted before the final battle. Deadpool, commanding the player to "push the button", proceeded to punch Sinister in his crotch, and then summoned a modified boot of a destroyed Sentinel to crush him when he was reeling from the pain, finally killing him. Initially confused if he was the real Sinister, Deadpool learned to his relief from Cable that he was indeed the real deal.

Trivia[]
Mister Sinister canonically conducted experiments at Auschwitz.John Sublime (under a cover identity) once claimed that Mister Sinister had his own personal Nazi concentration camp, although it is unclear if John Sublime was lying or if Mister Sinister conducted experiments in many concentration camps.
When asked about what would be his dream villain role, the actor Bryan Cranston (who's most known for portrayingWalter White in theBreaking Bad series) stated that it would be Mister Sinister.
As revealed in the Immortal X-Men series, theoriginal Nathaniel Essex died in 1895. He created three clones of himself, who assumed the identities of Mister Sinister,Orbis Stellaris andDoctor Stasis, as well as a digital copy of his mind known asEnigma. Mister Sinister was replaced by clones several times, but all Sinister clones have identical personalities. So far, only the Sinister clones have been voted pure evil.
