Sinister

Did Sinister start off with the mutant gene, or did he just get powers from his genetic experiments?

What actually are sinister's powers?
I know that he has super healing abilities (possibly better than logan's), and he has been known to fire blasts of energy, but I am not sure about other powers that he has.

I know that Essex was once married to jean grays ancestor, and he was chased around the world by xaviers ancestor a few hundred years ago.

Does anybody have any more info on him, as he is a really cool evil villain, and is one of my favourate villains (next to Magneto and Thanos).

He didn't naturally have an X-gene, he was a scientist who used to conduct experiments, he wanted to become the perfect genetic specimen, or at least creat one.

I think you pretty much got his powers covered, he has no others that I know of

Sinister

Real Name: Dr. Nathaniel Essex
Aliases: Dr. Windsor, Mr. Sinister, Dr. Nathan Milbury, Mike Milbury, Lefty
Relatives: Rebecca (wife, deceased), son (deceased)
Powers: Sinister was a human doctor living in Victorian England who was augmented by Apocalypse. He does not age, and he appears to have total control over his body's molecules, allowing him to pass energy blasts through himself and change his appearance. It was recently revealed that this ability was derived from the cells of the mutant Courier in the late 19th Century, and not from any of Apocalypse's manipulations. Sinister may also have some telepathic abilities, like making people pass out. A geneticist of unparalleled genius, Sinister foresaw the coming mutations that would befall mankind when he was still human. However, his unorthodox experiments caused him to be rejected by the Royal Society, and by his own wife in 1857, leading him to Apocalypse, who gave him a silvery skin and stripped him of his humanity. Sinister plotted the course of certain genepools for over a century, and found that the combination of Scott Summers' and Jean Grey's genes would generate a mutant of incredible power. The young Scott was brought to Sinister's orphanage in Nebraska, and Sinister collected a blood sample from Jean Grey to confirm his findings. When Phoenix died, Sinister used that sample to create the clone who was known as Madelyne Pryor. Madelyne was set up to meet Scott, and naturally, the two fell in love and married. Madelyne gave birth to Nathan Christopher, a child with telekinetic powers, but before Sinister could get a hold of him, Madelyne allied herself with N'astrih and became the Goblin Queen. After that, Nathan was cared for by his father and the "resurrected" Jean Grey. Before Sinster could make another attempt to get Nathan, Apocalypse, sensing that this child could be a weapon for Sinister to use against him, infected Nathan with a techno-organic virus, which forced Cyclops to send him into the future, where he grew up to be the man we know as Cable.
In his pursuit of genetic perfection Sinister had Gambit assemble a group of assassins known as the Marauders. The Marauders entered the Morlock tunnels under Manhattan and commenced a slaughter, because Sinister considered the Morlocks genetically useless. Sinister sometimes aids the X-Men, for reasons all his own. He helped Gambit save Sabretooth's life after his adamantium was removed, he took in Threnody and helped her control her power before she escaped, and in the 19th Century, he helped Gambit stop the current Thieves' Guild from revealing Apocalypse's secrets to Candra, as well as returning Courier to a more human state. In each case, though, Sinister exacts a price, and it is usually very costly, not to the pocket, but to the soul.

Sinister has conducted numerous other experiments in his time. He ran an obstetrics clinic in New York in the late 19th century and performed genetic research on society's deviants on the side. During WWII, he joined the Nazi scientists and managed to get a blood sample of the Sub-Mariner from which he created a clone, N2. N2 had the ability to absorb and project water, and defeated Namor and the original Human Torch quite easily, but fell to the unexpected skill of Captain America. In his guise as Dr. Essex, he influenced the research of Herbert Wyndham, the man who became the High Evolutionary. Years later, Wyndham activated a satellite that reverted all mutant DNA to human DNA, stripping all Earth's mutants of their mutations. Dr. Essex, who had come to support his student's work, then revealed himself and locked down Wyndham's armor, and modified the satellite's beam to mutate every human being on Earth, providing Sinister with an entire planet of lab subjects. Soon after, nearly 20 of Sinister's facilities were attacked by Domina, and she appeared to have killed him at each one. Exactly what happened to Sinister is unclear.

What is known is that Sinister survived, and after Colossus sacrificed himself to cure the Legacy Virus, he offered Nightcrawler the opportunity to resurrect Piotr as a clone. He was flatly refused.

Later, Sinister insinuated himself into the reborn Weapon X Program as "Dr. Windsor." He appeared to be saving mutants from the Neverland concentration camp, but in reality was bringing them to his secret lab and experimenting on them. As Windsor, Sinister was privy to the secrets of the Program's members, such as the fact that Mesmero had lost his powers and Sabretooth was again free of mind control, but he seems not to have acted on this knowledge, except to ensure that his identity was not uncovered.

more research--

sinister has exhibited a wide range of abilities and levels of power, and it remains unclear which abilities have been induced by apocalypse or have been developed by sinister himself.

he has increased intellect, strenght, stamina and reflexes. he is apparently able to travel the astral plane and fire bolts and create shields of unknown (maybe psionic) energy. he seemed vulnerable to cyclops' eye-beams, but am not sure if this is really the case or he just faked it. sinister relies on his hi-tech bases with futuristic weaponry. theses also house many mutant detecting, monitoring and recording devices.
