Title:
X-Man
Synopsis:
Onslaught, Phase 1: In the Company of Strangers, Part 1
Mister Sinister visits Egypt to see if Apocalypse’s sarcophagus is still holding his one-time collaborator’s body. He finds it empty.
At Xavier’s Institute for Higher Learning, X-Force discuss their next move, having watched Onslaught’s defeat of the X-Men on their monitors. Nate Grey is impressed with their camaraderie and faith in each other. He feels he has no place amongst them. Domino asks what he’s thinking about, and he mentions that someone just liked her murdered all his friends back in his own reality. He adds that everyone seems to want him right now, but the only person who needs him is the girl he left behind.
Threnody is alone in a Manhattan church when she is attacked by the Marauders. Although she manages to defeat them, she is helpless as Mister Sinister appears in person.
Later, he is at the mansion, and although X-Force knows someone is outside, Sinister evades detection, destroying the defences with ease. He quickly takes out Siryn and Caliban before heading to the armory where X-Force and Nate are gearing up. Onslaught knows all about their abilities and combat methods, so they know they have to improvise.
Suddenly, Sinister explodes the armory wall and confronts Nate, who recognizes him as being Sinister, counterpart of the man he suddenly seems to remember, who created him. X-Force attacks, but Sinister takes them out with assured ease, leaving only a stunned Domino standing. Sinister explains that Nate’s arrival may have given way to the very thought of Onslaught and given Onslaught the means to access its physical armor when Nate pulled Xavier from the Astral Plane.
Nate doesn’t believe him, but, to Sinister, that doesn’t matter. He concentrates and defeats Nate mentally. He is now in control.
