Sins of Sinister
2023Mr. Sinister hijacks the Quiet Council and corrupts Krakoa's resurrection protocols, inserting his DNA into every mutant brought back to life. Three interlocking timelines (set 10, 100, and 1,000 years in the future) reveal a nightmarish world where Sinister's influence has consumed mutantkind and threatens to birth a new Dominion. A well-structured alternate-timeline event that doubles as a character study of Sinister's bottomless ambition.
