    Publication history

    Creation

    Writer Chris Claremont conceived Sinister as a new villain for the X-Men, having felt "tired of just going back to Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the same old same old" Claremont recalled:

    1980s

    Mister Sinister debuted in the title Uncanny X-Men, briefly mentioned by Sabretooth during the Mutant Massacre crossover as the leader of the Marauders who had sent them to slaughter the Morlock population. In the following issue, the X-Men member Psylocke picks up a shadowy mental image of the Marauders' "Master" from Sabretooth's mind. Mister Sinister finally appeared on-panel in issue #221 (Sept. 1987). The character plays a major role in the Inferno crossover, where it is revealed that Sinister cloned Madelyne Pryor from Jean Grey for the purpose of having her conceive a child with Cyclops, their son Nathan; Sinister is also revealed to have manipulated Cyclops' life since early childhood. After a battle with the X-Men and X-Factor, the villain is apparently destroyed by Cyclops' optic beam.

    Dexter and sinister

    Dexter and sinister are terms used in heraldry to refer to specific locations in an escutcheon bearing a coat of arms, and to the other elements of an achievement. "Dexter" (Latin for "right") means to the right from the viewpoint of the bearer of the shield, i.e. the bearer's proper right, to the left from that of the viewer. "Sinister" (Latin for "left") means to the left from the viewpoint of the bearer, the bearer's proper left, to the right from that of the viewer.

    Significance

    The dexter side is considered the side of greater honour, for example when impaling two arms.

    Sinister is used to mark that an ordinary or other charge is turned to the heraldic left of the shield. A bend sinister is a bend which runs from the bearer's top-left to bottom-right, as opposed to top-right to bottom-left. As the shield would have been carried with the design facing outwards from the bearer, the bend sinister would slant in the same direction as a sash worn diagonally on the left shoulder.

    (Verse)
    I'm spending money gigantic, got all you living in panic
    You going down like Titanic as I make off like a bayonet
    I make you nuts like you meant it
    My style nuts, you can't stand it
    The best cuts on the planet, I'm bout to bust out like Janet
    You must respect, I demand it
    I'm raising hell like goddamn it
    I don't see dreams cus I slam it, living so reckless combine it
    My turn to run at you ran it
    My skin so gold and I tan it
    If I cook up then I planned, drink shots but nobody standing
    (Hook)
    This life got me sinning, this life got me sinning (x8)
    (Verse)
    I don't go down low, do you go down low?
    You could talk that shit but don't you quit when I'm bout to go
    I could hit this shit like I hit that dro
    And the way you be feeling
    Head spinning, you be fienin to keep it slow
    I don't, I don't give a shit
    If you stay or go
    Cus when we done hitting we win and stay hidden, no one got to know
    I'm the best to ever do it, know you like this
    About the rest so pursue it, show you like this
    I know you going down tonight like the fight fixed
    See you working it tonight like the night shift
    (Hook)
    This life got me sinning, this life got me sinning (x8)
    (Verse)
    When I'm sinning I'm winning
    Still cars I'm driven
    Can't wait to go, all them places in the world I ain't been in
    Some my sheets be linen
    Get no run like we sitting
    May act a little crazy but that's the mood I be in
    I connect with no dope, know me in the streets
    All them lyric is my flow, don't get the need to be
    Get so high but stay low, might see me in a Jeep
    Riding to my next show, my peep be in the suite
    (Hook)
    This life got me sinning, this life got me sinning (x8)
