Apocalypse vs Mister Sinister: Survival of the Fittest vs Genetic Manipulation

b"%CODE_APOCALYPSE%\\n\\nWe're back with another Character Corner. This time we're doing double the trouble with two classic X-Men villains: Apocalypse and Mister Sinister. It's actually pretty fitting that we do these two at this point. We recently did an episode on the Summers brothers, Scott & Alex. And we're also planning on doing an episode on Cable and the rest of the Summers bloodline. Throwing Sinister and Apocalypse in between those two seems pretty fitting considering how tied these villains are to the Summers clan. So in this episode we skip over some stuff but only because we'll be diving into more detail when we do that other episode.\\n\\nThe interesting thing about Apocalypse and Mister Sinister is how due to their longevity they've been incorporated into almost everything. Some for the good and some for the bad. But their tale is one that spans generations and overall, is pretty damn good. So sit back and give this episode a listen to find out just out evil these two are.\\n\\nAnd for the record, we should make it very clear, neither of these characters are #VillainAgenda. They're just pure evil. It's like Hitler and Josef Mengele.\\xa0\\n\\nOh and Louise Simonson is a national fucking hero. Put some respect on her name.\\n\\nKey Issues:\\n\\nApocalypse\\n\\n \\tX-Factor Volume 1\\n\\n \\tIssue #5 \\u2013 First Cameo\\n \\tIssues #6 \\u2013 First full appearance\\n \\tIssue #15 = First appearance of The Horsemen\\n \\tIssue #24 \\u2013 Archangel revealed as Death\\n \\tIssues #65 \\u2013 68\\n\\n \\tFirst appearance of the Dark Riders\\n \\tInfects baby Nate Summers with techno-organic virus\\n\\n\\n \\tCable Volume 1\\n\\n \\t#75\\n\\n\\n \\tX-Cutioner\\u2019s Song\\n \\tCable Vol 2 #19 \\u2013 Resurrected\\n \\tUncanny X-Force (Remmender)\\n \\tAge of Apocalypse\\n \\tThe Twelve\\n\\n\\n\\nMister Sinister\\n\\n \\tMutant Massacre\\n\\n \\tUncanny X-Men #213 \\u2013 Sabretooth first mentions the character\\n \\tUncanny X-M3n #221 \\u2013 First appearance\\n\\n\\n \\tInferno\\n\\n \\tUncanny X-Men #241 \\u2013 Reveals that he cloned Madelyne Pryor from Jean Grey\\n \\tX-Factor #39 \\u2013 Cyclops \\u201cDestroys\\u201d\\n\\n\\n \\tClassic X-Men #41 \\u2013 42\\n \\tX-Factor\\n\\n \\t#74 & #75 \\u2013 The Nasty Boys\\n\\n\\n \\tX-Cutioner\\u2019s Song (1992-1993)\\n \\tX-Men #23 \\u2013 Brothers\\n \\tThe Further Adventures of Phoenix and Cyclops\\n \\tCable Annual 1999\\n \\tGambit Ties\\n\\n \\tX-Men Volume 2 #6 \\u2013 Sabretooth suggests that he has ties to Remy\\n \\tX-Men #41 \\u2013 45\\n \\tUncanny X-Men #350\\n \\tGambit #13 \\u2013 23\\n\\n \\tExplains some of Sinister\\u2019s new powers including shapeshifting (got them from experimenting on Courier)\\n\\n\\n \\tX-Men 99 \\u2013 103\\n \\tMessiah Complex\\n\\n \\tMystique \\u201ckills\\u201d him\\n\\n\\n \\tX-Men Legacy #211 \\u2013 214\\n\\n \\tXavier Ties\\n\\n\\n \\tX-23\\n \\t Uncanny X-Men #544\\n \\tUncanny X-Men #14 - 17 (AvX Tie-In)\\n\\n\\n\\nIf you like this episode and want to hear more, make sure you subscribe to the Character Corner Podcast (We're now on Spotify!)"
