Story:
Nathaniel Essex, the man known to become Mr.Sinister was born in Victorian England, there
he became a devoted scientist. After his new-born child died he became obsessed with bringing
him back to life alienation everyone surrounding him by the unorthodix and 'evil' means
with which he was persuing his path. Then Apocalypse crossed his path and awakened Essex's potential
to become one of the first mutants and a geneticist in the emplloyement op Apocalypse. What happened
after that isn't known, only that Cyclops and Phoenix, send back in time, managed to stop Apocalypse.
It is known that Mr.Sinister 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'ar. 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
known 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 Grey. 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.
But Sinister was not as easily destroyed and later returned to do conflict
with the newly formed X-factor and even later he was one of the players in
the conlict know as the X-Cutioner's Song.
Sinister migth have attracted the Legacy Virus and is looking for a cure. it
was also revealed that Gambit might have been one of Sinister's marauders.

Story:
The woman known as Madelyne Pryor was actually a clone of Jean
Gray (Marvel Girl), created by the mysterious villain known as Mr. Sinister. He created the clone in his secret
base located beneath an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska.
Sinister was able to grow an adult clone of Jean, before the original was
replaced by the Phoenix. The clone itself exhibited none of Jean's powers,
and it had none of her memories.
Then came the day when the Phoenix, after taking Jean's place,
allowed itself to be killed on the Blue Area of the Moon. Phoenix allowed
this because it feared it might revert to the Dark Phoenix again. A small
portion of the Phoenix Force survived and rushed to Jamaica Bay,
where the real Jean Gray slept in a healing pod. It tried to enter Jean's
body, but Jean rejected it because it still bore images of death and destruction. Desperate, it sensed the
clone and rushed to it.
The surprised Sinister watched a fiery phoenix form surround the clone.
The clone cried out "Scott" and then passed out. Sinister soon learned
about Phoenix and came up with a plan. He intended to mate his clone
with Scott Summers, which would hopefully produce a powerful mutant
offspring that Sinister could control.
Madelyne and Scott lived happily for a while in Anchorage, but he suddenly left her with no explanations.
Unknown to her, he had returned to New York City, where the supposedly
dead Jean Gray had been found by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four.
Scott, Jean, and the other original X-Men then formed X-Factor.
Madelyne eventually saw news reports about X-Factor and realized
what had happened. Angry and bitter, she refused to talk to Scott when
he called her. At this point, Sinister felt that it was time to claim the baby
and kill Madelyne. He arranged for Madelyne to make a special delivery
flight for the air freight service. Sinister somehow mentally compelled her
to take the baby along. During one of the flight's stops, Madelyne was attacked by the Marauders.
She escaped, subconsciously using her powers again, but the baby was captured by the Marauders.
Madelyne stayed with the X-Men for protection from the Marauders.
She later sacrificed her life in Dallas, along with the X-Men, to stop the Adversary from taking over the Earth.
She was also with the X-Men when they were resurrected by Roma. Madelyne then joined the X-Men in their
move to the abandoned Reaver base in Australia.
One night, while she was working with the advanced computer system,
she fell asleep and was somehow contacted by the Limbo demon lord,
N'Astrish. Sensing her power, and her inner bitterness, he offered her
power for revenge. She gave into the dark portion of her soul, and took him up on the bargain.
N'Astrish some how used dark Limbo magick to awaken the latent powers Madelyne
possessed.
Madelyne then began to corrupt the X-Men from within. She censored incoming news about X-Factor, only allowing the X-Men to
know the worst. Madelyne also seduced Scott's brother, Alex (Havok).
When Inferno began, Madelyne became the Goblin Queen, one of
the evil beings behind the Inferno.
N'Astrish took her to Sinister's base, where her son was being kept. Madelyne easily beat Sinister and re-
gained her child. She was also able to learn her complete history from Sinister. More bitter than ever, she
vowed to sacrifice her own son to open the gateway to Limbo.
Soon, a running battle erupted in the streets of New York City, between
the Goblin Queen, the X-Men, and X-Factor. Most of the X-Men had given
into the darker side of their natures. Havok gave in completely, becoming
Madelyne's Goblin Prince.
Finally, at the top of the transformed Empire State Building, the final confrontation between Jean and
Madelyne began. While they were locked in mental combat, Jean
learned all about Madelyne's distorted life. The X-Men and X-Factor,
working together, broke through a force field that the Goblin Queen had
placed around herself and Jean. They pressed the Goblin Queen
back, and Scott was able to regain possession of his son.
Sensing defeat, the Goblin Queen tried to kill everyone in a massive
blast of energy. The members of both teams worked together so that
no one was hurt. The Goblin Queen took the brunt of the blast, fatally injuring herself.
Dying, she forced Jean into a mental lock, meaning to carry Jean to her
death alongside her. Suddenly, the Phoenix Force within the Goblin
Queen offered Jean a deal. If Jean would allow it to enter her, the Phoenix would break the mental lock and
save Jean from death. Jean reluctantly agreed, and Madelyne died
alone.
Later Nate Grey (X-Man) somehow recreated Madelyne using his vast powers. Now Madelyne
is fully alive again with considerable mental powers. She has joined the inner circle of the
Hellfire Club.
