"In the early days, I pitched Krakoa adopting the metric system, we had a laugh, and I'm glad Jonathan said no cause that would've been more work." - Gerry Duggan
Oh man please tell me that this Sinister is scheming about various betrayals of Orchis and that there's a whole round of the Krakoa vs Orchis fight that is just which side's Sinister betrays them harder.
I have to admit, this is perfect and its the obvious answer to who was under Dr. Stasis's mask.
At least Krakoa knows Sinister is actively betraying them off and on, Orchis probably thinks they have him under control. This is the organization dumb enough to recruit MODOK.
There's something deeply ironic given how things were going before Krakoa that Cyclops is the one saying there's no benefit to lying to the Avengers and antagonizing them.
He's not wrong in the slightest, but it really feels like he's the character he used to be before the mess that was Avengers vs X-Men. I hope a decade is long enough that we can sweep that trash fire under the rug.
Now if more X-Men could stop speaking like X-Men fans angry and marvel's mistreatment of the franchise and more like people who've been friends and allies of the avengers for a long time.
The "Diamond" and now "Clubs" symbols create the possibility of the existence of further Sinisters': "Hearts", "Spades", "Cups", "Swords", "Wands", "Pentacles", "How to play Bridge" and "Mrs Bun the Baker's Wife"
A pair of Diamonds Sinisters and a pair of Hearts Sinisters team up in a fight against three Clubs Sinisters. The Diamonds and Hearts Sinisters are losing.
A cloning tube pops open and a third Diamonds Sinister joins the losing side and the tables turn.
Another cloning tube pops open and a fourth Clubs Sinister jumps out. The Clubs have the upper hand again.
The last cloning tube opens, Joker Sinister steps out, licks his lips a bunch, machine guns everyone, and sets the building on fire.
Joker Sinister is met outside by a car. The driver steps out: it’s the Jackal, wearing a red silk bathrobe and smoking a pipe. He turns to the camera. “And THIS is why he’s on a three-drink minimum! WOMP-WOMP!!!"
We hear the sound of canned laughter. The camera swings around to reveal the audience, camera crew and other production staff are all clones of Sinister, the Jackal and/or Gwen Stacy.
Oh ho? Stasis is a Sinister? A non-mutant Sinister, I imagine. Perhaps the original Sinister that had scoffed at Xavier and Magneto's idea before being "killed" by his mutant clone?
...those are SLOT machines?! ...wh...where do you put the quarter? What do you pull to spin the slots? I have SO many questions!
Well, now someone has to edit in Biden quotes to Captain America's speech balloons. "Cap, what should we do?" "I have hairy legs! That turn blonde in the sun!"
One is an evil nazi war criminal who is a physically, emotionally and psychologically abusive rapist with a desire to destroy democracy and see billions of people slaughtered just for their religion, sexuality or race
And the other is a fictional character created by Marvel comics

Other days it's
"Where were you during Mutant Genocide #7234, Avengers?"
"Sorry, the writers wouldn't let us acknowledge it."
"LIKELY STORY."
