The Dark Avengers were giving Asgard trouble during Siege, for Fox's sake. I don't think it should have happened at all, ever... but since this forum emphasizes on-panel feats, it's legit. Sinister would wipe the goddamned floor with the Dark Avengers and the Thunderbolts. So with that in mind, yes, it is feasible for him to be a legitimate threat to the Asgardians, especially if he makes full use of his library of powers.
Classic Apocalypse is a monster, and I don't even have to go into detail why. Loki ran from him once, and nevermind the circumstances, he still ran. You can chalk it up to writer's bias, but the way I see it, Loki could have laughed at classic Apocalypse and wasted him if he were so much more powerful than him.
Loki's beat the phuck out of the X-Men twice. One time, with a single hand gesture. Whereas Apocalypse can't. Get a clue. He jerks off to Galactus sweat drops, I don't put anything past him. He couldn't help but fight Savage Hulk with all of his powers.
Considering that Savage Hulk literally pounded him into crap with HE fighting back, using that fight with Apoc as any sort of evidence is hilarious. Let me know wen Apoc beats an X-Men team or beats three Thors or contends with Skyfathers.
Enchantress wrecks Apocalypse something fierce. Loki isn't even a question. Particularly to Apocalypse who acknowledged fully the threat he faced after his home and tech and minion got wrecked on his homeground.
So since this post has very little to do with what we were discussing (You talking out of your ass) I'm going to take this as a concession. Now that we've got that settled, let's discuss the content of this uniformed little beauty.
Based on what events in Siege did you reach the conclusion that Sinister would give Loki/Amora as much trouble as you believed? For the record, the Dark Avengers and the forces assembled against Asgard would rape Sinister and Apocalypse much less Sinister by his lonesome.
No, please do go into detail. Tell me why Classic Apocalypse is such a monster in comparison to Loki and his record. Let's compare their respective history. So Loki ran from Apocalypse once and the details don't matter? Alright, Apocalypse once ran from Namor and a table but since the details don't matter I'll take it as it is. For the record, Loki left because there was no benefit. He did something similar to the Mad Thinker.
I'm beginning to think it's not limited to just Team 2, you just know very little in general.

Sinister has made X-Man his ***** on at least one occasion (via mindblast, if I remember correctly). That feat alone gives him the win against the Dark Avengers and the Thunderbolts, who gave the Asgardians hell during Siege. That's without even going into the various other powers at his disposal.
And nobody phucks with Namor, especially if he has an arsenal of high-quality wooden furniture within his grasp.
Do you even know what type of forces were assembled against Asgard? Thinking that Sinister can them on alone is one of the most dumbest things I've ever read. And I've encountered Starscream on various occasions. Reynolds alone would rape stomp Team 1.
Out of curiosity, when did Sinister punk X-man? Age of Apocalypse Sinister had a decent showing IIRC at one point but that's all I remember.
And you still haven't told me what events in Siege led you to believe Sinister would be such a big problem for Amora and Loki?
I think you should quit before you dig yourself a deeper hole. You're not very good at this debating thing. At least so far.

Loki's ass ran. Where did he acknowledge Loki as superior in anything except turning tail and fleeing? As you can see he didn't even fear Loki saying much of what he says are lies and that he had to prepare because "HE IS NOT ALONE IN HIS HATRED OF OUR KIND".

If you're referring to the scene that I think you are, Sinister didn't mind rape them directly. He channeled X-man's own psionic energy. Based on that scene and the scans you posted, he seems to have much more finesse and control than Nate so I'll give him that. Still means shit to Loki/Amora and doesn't support him beating the forces assembled against Asgard. Not one bit.
It should also be noted that Sinister had intimate knowledge of Nate Grey and how his mind worked. More so than even Nate. Which makes sense because in terms of raw psychic power, Nate Grey is far more powerful than Sinister.
I'm going to pm Id and ask if there were any extenuating circumstances. I lost my X-man collection recently.
You have also yet to tell me what events in Siege have led you to believe Sinister would be such a big problem for Amora and Loki.
Sorry, I'm broke.

Norman Osborn (blasted or mind-raped)
Daken (vaporized, beaten, or mind-raped)
Bullseye (vaporized, beaten, or mind-raped)
Gargan Venom (blasted or mind-raped)
Ares (mind-raped)
Moonstone (mind-raped then date-raped)
Thunderbolts
Ghost (vaporized, beaten or mind-raped)
Paladin (vaporized, beaten, or mind-raped)
Scourge (vaporized, beaten, or mind-raped)
Headsman (vaporized, beaten, or mind-raped)
Grizzly (vaporized, beaten, or mind-raped)
Mr. X (vaporized, beaten, or mind-raped)
Black Widow (mind-raped then date-raped)
Ares could possibly have defenses against telepathy, so that's up for debate, I guess. Sentry (non-Void) is already phucked in the head, so messing with it some more could either put him down or make him go apeshit.
Either way, those are the only two that stand a chance against Sinister. He's a powerful character, and could definitely hurt both Loki and Amora.
Apoc headbutts team 2 like he did Loki before. Sinister gets his scalpels ready strapping them to the operating table.
No seriously it would be a good fight but with magic the outcome is hard to call. Sinister is definately a threat however, many are underestimathing him a lot.

Apocalypse owned XFactor, the original Xmen team (Scott, Jean, Angel, Beast, Iceman) repeatedly. The entire point of his character was that they could NOT beat him. Apocalypose was literally immune to EVERY assault they could come up with until killed via plot device in Xfactor #74(?).
Sinister was just as bad. Wrecked entire teams of Xmen, blew up the mansion in one shot, and was immune to every attack they could come up with with the exception of scott's optic blast, which was later revealed to be a feint.
Both Sinister and Apocalypse can and have wrecked teams of Xmen by themselves more than once.
Scott's optic blast was originally written to be some kind of weakness for Sinister- this also shows up in the Xmen cartoon back in the 90s. Another writer retconned it later, showing it had no effect and Sinister was playing mind games.
here's one: here, we see a vampire claim Apocalypse cut a tribe of N'garai demons to pieces, singlehandedly.

per this link N'garai are the demons that Belasco serves, and owes his powers to. ONE of them caused serious problems for a team of Xmen, and overwhelmed the mind of professor X.
