You are FAR and AWAY my favorite person discussing X-Men. I can tell how invested you are in that almost every video since HoX/PoX is about X-Men. I love your analysis and you make the X-Men even more accessible to a brand new X-Men reader like me.
Sinister Secret 1: I just wrote this one off as Sinister's newfound fascination with fashion. If he's feeling off about not wearing a cape or having to borrow someone's else's, it's not too far off to think he's be self conscious if he thought people would think his shoes clashed with his outfit. However... He did wear red shoes in issue 6 of Cable during X of Swords. Sinister Secret 9: The non couple couple one was definitely Mystique & Destiny
oh hell yeah! glad to see you tackle this one. it's been fun to reread the DOX and finding that i know the answer to some of the sinister secrets too :)
One option I've been considering for the young "non couple couple" secret is Kate and Illyana Rasputin. Both of them have been speculated to have romantic feelings for each other for a long time, and depending on your interpretation, it's even within the subtext for a lot of Claremont stories. They also fit the "kids" description. But when Sinister wonders if the universe is ready, he could be taking about Magik's use of portals, and Kate's inability to use the Krakoan gateways. It seems clear that with this Inferno event being set up, Limbo will play a big part, so it kind of fits. That being said, I still haven't heard/thought of a theory that works perfectly for this one. Sure the fireworks could refer to Jubilee, but why would the universe not be ready for any of her relationships? This is the most interesting Sinister Secret for me since there's no clear answer.
you've just become my favorite comic book channel on RUclips! might I suggest you to have a bigger audio volume for the next upload? I'm maximizing my laptop volume here, but you're volume still sounds so low, just my 2 cents here ^^
Thank you :) yeah, I've definitely had a tricky time with max volume. I do take steps to increase every upload, but I'll keep at it so this is less of an issue moving forward!
I really enjoyed your analysis of Sinister’s secrets. Kate possibly being a Sinister clone intrigues me the most. Interestingly enough she happens to be a ♦️Red Queen♦️. I’ve read multiple theories for why she can’t use Krakoan gates (Skrull being one) and none have theorized that she could possibly be the work of Sinister’s. Whether this is the case or not, Sinister is a menacing piece of work. He simply lives to be wicked.
i think Reed Richards maybe a reason to why she can't go. He did something to Franklin and made so he can't use the gate he need a Genie Pig . X-Men + FF 4 parter you found out Kate and Franklin have a special bond . So if she can't go then why would Franklin want to go to Krakoa .
Mr Sinister is such a fun villain. I really want him to be brought onscreen live action. Preferably he would be the main villain in an X-men tv show. But if the MCU introduced him, I wouldn’t be mad. Long as he survives through more than one film.
In Generation X it hinted to Synch and M being Bishop's Grandparents. Gateway is related to Bishop and also said to be related M to .In the Generation X comic book i am talking about Bishop gets his bell rung . Sees a memory of his Grandma who looks like a older M as he is coming back around it shifts to the younger M in her spot asking if he was ok . maybe a love triangle between M , Synch , Jublie and the Fireworks being a cat fight .
Just throwin' it our there, but I've notice a few Elvis Costello sub-references since Hickman's took over. I'm thinking he's a fan. Listen to the lyrics of Angles Wanta Wear My Red Shoes and apply this to Sinister.
how many Summers brothers are there it hinted to more then Scott , Alex, Gabriel. Mister Sinister has followed the Summers family DNA for generations. he traded Scott and Jean to Stryfe for a capsule that was said to have the Summers DNA from Centuries in to the future . When it was open it had the Legacy Virus in it at the end of the X - Cutioner's Song. Gambit in the 4 part X Men End event was said to be a Summers brother something with the DNA. Adam X is also said to be a brother back then someone was telling Alex and Adam maybe twins . When Havok was in X -Factor someone showed me a side by side of Havok and Adam X and they looked alike before in X-Men 23 vol 1 Mister Sinister said something about looking out for his brothers to Scott.
I think it'll be Gambit AND Adam-X, but in different ways. With Gambit it'll be similar to X-Men: The End, a clone/half-brother/son of Scott & Mister Sinister. With Adam-X he'll either be a test tube baby or Vulcan's twin brother.
Great video, one thing though Shinobi Shaw was Sebastiáns pick, when he made him his bishop he said he wanted him in red but he'd have to settle for black
I know this is going to sound Goofy oh, but I always took the location of bar sinister literally. As in on krakoa Mister Sinister opened locations where mutants could congregate drink and party. Because not only is Sinister a hedonist, but it would be the perfect place to collect all of those DNA samples that he might not have gotten his hands on, and since he's a master cloner and DNA manipulator there'd be multiple sinister's at each location picking up tidbits of information.
lol the first Sinister Secret is about him being gay. The red shoes Means he's a friend of Dorthys. You know? Somewhere over the rainbow. The secret states " He's fooIing no one". Can't you tell when he goes on about how "fabulous" Magneto's Cape is? Also the fact that it's a gossip column...
Laughed so hard in Secret Wars when Sinister kicked Madelyne Pryor & called her outfit tacky. Who knows which way he swings, if he swings at all. I binge read every comic he's been in for the past half decade, & he hints at asexual, autosexual, & "camp straight" as well. I just love that he actually has a personality now.
MR SINISTER IS THE MOST NON-VILLIAN LIKE VILLIAN IN ALL OF MARVEL.. HE IS THE DEADBEAT DAD OF VILLIANS.. NEVER SEE THIS GUY UNTIL THE WRITER PUTS THE STORY INTO A BIND, AND THEY NEED A WAY TO WEDGE THE PLOT OUT OF ITS HOLE.. VOILA!! MR SINISTER!!
For the past half decade, he's been more of a neutral 3rd party & comedic side character. Suits him better, now he's actually got a personality. He's the Marvel version of the Joker or Star Trek's Q.

Thanks so much. That means a lot!
Although I'm surprised to hear people are noticing I'm obsessed with X-Men. Didn't think it was that obvious ;)

Incredible. You continue to have the best indepth analysis about comics on RUclips. I literally watched this twice. Thank you for the work you put in!
This is so encouraging! Thank you!
This is an absolute must watch for any current X-Men fan. Well done!
oh hell yeah! glad to see you tackle this one. it's been fun to reread the DOX and finding that i know the answer to some of the sinister secrets too :)
Glad you're digging it! Yeah it's a lot of fun to revisit with so many more comics out now.
I really enjoyed this video! It was very informative. I look forward to further future reviews of the Sinister gossip col. Thank you for this video.

As to secret 12. I have a twist that may entertain.
What If. Mr. Sinister grabbed a precog gene for himself from say. Destiny.

11:00 Warlock This design is giving me huge "Wake Rattle & Roll" vibes.

Any thoughts on revisiting this video post Gala? Would be fun to see your perspective 1 year later, and see what you got right and wrong.
Great content! These tidbits from the new X-Men era are very interesting!
“The kids are alright.” “Non-couple couple” “Fireworks”. Sounds like Jubilee and Synch.
Yeah I like this pick too! Especially considering Synch is locked up in the Vault and Jubes is in Otherworld.
In Generation X it hinted to Synch and M being Bishop's Grandparents. Gateway is related to Bishop and also said to be related M to .In the Generation X comic book i am talking about Bishop gets his bell rung . Sees a memory of his Grandma who looks like a older M as he is coming back around it shifts to the younger M in her spot asking if he was ok . maybe a love triangle between M , Synch , Jublie and the Fireworks being a cat fight .
Yeah also the "the kids are alright" is a song by The Who. The title of the album is "My Generation".
Non-couple couple is Sam and Bobby
This makes so much sense #smdh

I mean, the Proudstar X-Gene is a pretty good base mutant. Stronger, faster, tougher, hightened senses and just overall BETTER than a human body.
Great another 2 decades of mystery to not think off.
Great video
Heat as always!!!!!
Sad that he never got to be shown in the previous xmen movies fully
lol the first Sinister Secret is about him being gay. The red shoes Means he's a friend of Dorthys. You know? Somewhere over the rainbow. The secret states " He's fooIing no one". Can't you tell when he goes on about how "fabulous" Magneto's Cape is? Also the fact that it's a gossip column...
Of course he is. Fkin marvel, we'll reveal all his secrets! And he's gay.
Glad I stopped buying this waste of paper years ago.
Laughed so hard in Secret Wars when Sinister kicked Madelyne Pryor & called her outfit tacky.
Who knows which way he swings, if he swings at all. I binge read every comic he's been in for the past half decade, & he hints at asexual, autosexual, & "camp straight" as well.
I just love that he actually has a personality now.
Sinister has little birds
Rachel Summers is scott and Jeans kid
Yep though she's from another timeline so point still holds that this Jean didn't give birth to her
Maybe read out the secrets as you explain them, otherwise the explanations sound disjointed.
MR SINISTER IS THE MOST NON-VILLIAN LIKE VILLIAN IN ALL OF MARVEL.. HE IS THE DEADBEAT DAD OF VILLIANS.. NEVER SEE THIS GUY UNTIL THE WRITER PUTS THE STORY INTO A BIND, AND THEY NEED A WAY TO WEDGE THE PLOT OUT OF ITS HOLE.. VOILA!! MR SINISTER!!
For the past half decade, he's been more of a neutral 3rd party & comedic side character. Suits him better, now he's actually got a personality. He's the Marvel version of the Joker or Star Trek's Q.
It was comparable to Pope Benedict and his need for red shoes. Don’t look to hard into it
Am I the only person that thinks Jeffery Dean Morgan would be a great Mr. Sinster
I'd heard Jon Hamm was originally slated to play him in an end credit for new mutants back when that was supposed to be a trilogy
You need to slow down your speaking. Some of your sentences are hard to understand.
Sinister was NECER a mutant!!!!
Too much theory BULLSH!T
Could have gotten retconned, because he couldn't have passed through the Krakoa portal if he wasn't a mutant, right? 🤔
