It's time for Mister Sinister...

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Thanks to X-Men '97, Marvel Studios is proving how incredible a classic X-Men villain would be in the MCU, 38 years after his debut in the original Marvel Comics. As seen in X-Men '97, episode 3, the titular team of mutants faces a major clone crisis and several eldritch horrors. As such, it's all thanks to the manipulations of one of the X-Men's greatest villains: Mister Sinister.

Related Cable's New X-Men Origin Answers A 31 Year Old Cyclops Mystery Nathan Summers' Cable gets a new origin in Marvel Studios' X-Men '97 which helps answer a key Cyclops mystery from the original animated series.

While there are some differences, X-Men '97 episode 3 effectively mirrors the comics and the origins of Nathan Summers aka Cable as well as Jean's clone, Cable's mother who comes to be known as Madelyne Pryor. However, it also shows just how great of a villain Mister Sinister is, especially after he kidnaps Cyclops and Jean's baby and infects him with a techno-organic virus in a bid to make him invulnerable .

Rather than groups like the Friends of Humanity or Bolivar Trask's mutant-hunting robot Sentinels, Mister Sinister isn't a villain who's intolerant of mutants. Instead, his evil comes from a more classic strain of mad science as he seeks to create the perfect mutant race.
