Going by the early looks of it, it'll be Cannonball, Jubilee, or Jugs.

The race is down to three. We all need to rally behind Juggs or else it'll be Cannonball. And none of us want that, right?

Should note this is just the results of the Day. That day those three got more votes than the other three, but we don't know how many votes were given at other times.

The only one I can't be enthusiastic about is Prodigy. He's one of those "constant shots of the smart guy back home in front of the big monitor coordinating everything" types and it's more exciting when Cyclops is doing that on the fly while knocking fools over with eye beams. I voted for Big Juggs but would be equally happy if it was Frenzy, which I gather is super unlikely but whatever, I fuckin loved her in... Legacy, I think? When she fell in love with Scott, that book.

Incidentally, if you missed it this week, Scarlet Witch #2 has Storm just fully casting a magic spell with her powers, which was fun and also kind of finally addressing a lot of the "Yeah Storm just has magic, actually" build-up over the years. Maybe it'll be expanded on even further in other books?

it's got a kind of "modernized take on 1970s DC horror anthology books" vibe to it that I deeply appreciate. I know that for legal reasons Baron Winter will not be showing up but in my heart he comes over on weekends for tea

I feel like at the end of Sins of Sinister I'm gonna need a flowchart of which Sinisters are which and what, like, spade Sinister's whole arc has been in the story compared to Club or diamond.

E&C made a good post on this:

Edge & Christian posted:

This is possibly nitpicking but probably important to discussing current X-Men books: only Diamond Sinisters are Sinisters. Or more accurately, Diamond Essexes are Sinisters.

We knew Nathaniel Essex was doing Mad Science stuff back in the Victorian era pre-Krakoa-comics, and that those experiments (and Apocalypse involvement) turned him into Mister Sinister.

What Immortal X-Men #8 laid out was that Essex had seen (I guess through science and Apocalypse whammies) the inevitability of the Phalanx/Technarch/AI takeover and was driven mad trying to come up with how to stop it. He saw four possible ways of stopping the AI:

1. Humanity continuing to master science
2. Going into space and finding other species who had found a way to defeat the Machines
3. Magic/mysticism, something machines could not understand
4. The "Essex-Men" (i.e. mutants)

Essex died but had set up four clones of himself, each believing that they were the one true Essex, and guided to pursue one of these four options for the next century.

Club/Science Essex went on to become Doctor Stasis.
Spade/Space Essex went on to become Orbis Stellaris.
Heart/Magic Essex presumably but not yet confirmed went on to become Mother Righteous

and Diamond/Mutant Essex became Mister Sinister. Then went on to become many Misters Sinister.

I don't think this is the story for that. I think we'll get that afterwards. Sins is like broad strokes of what happens when Sinister wins.

Though it really does look like this is Destiny playing everyone. We already know that Mystique doesn't live in this timeline, so she's not being fully truthful to Orbis Stellaris. Destiny is going to have to convince Sinister to reset the timeline and not move forward with his plans. They have to be on the same side.

Not quite, Destiny's visions are not infallible, she sees many divergent possibilities. She could be honest and this a timeline she does not see Mystique's death in yet.

I think this is the Empire of the Red Diamond future she saw, since that followed Judgment Day. It ends with the Storm System, which I think we can see a path to already. So I believe she chose this path because she saw it was one where she can manipulate everyone into giving her what she wants, and that's a good outcome for both mutants and for her and Mystique.
