Working Out The Blind Items Of Mr Sinister's Gossip Column in Powers Of X #4 (Spoilers)

Today in Powers Of X #4, we learn that The Red Diamond of Bar Sinister is the font of all Mister Sinister-related gossip in the Marvel Universe. At least in its tenth timeline. With links to the past and suggestions of the future. Mister Sinister giving us his own Page 616.

Here's what Bleeding Cool writers have interpreted… can you add to it.

SINISTER SECRET #1 He's trying to pretend that no one noticed he was wearing red shoes, but this truly sinister Sinister isn't fooling anyone.

No idea.

SINISTER SECRET #2 And speaking of fashion, the whisper network has turned into a roar regarding the return of this trendsetting mutant who was cut down in his prime. Will someone please tell all these mutants to stop wearing human clothes and join the stampede across their island full of flowers to the flower that's the fullest?

The Ghosts Of Cyclops from All-New X-Men #1?

SINISTER SECRET #3 Years ago, a deceased redheaded pretender made a pact with the devil. When she passed on, most believed that any secrets she had went with her to the grave. Won't everyone be surprised when they find out not only is this not true, but she left behind a whole lot more than secrets.

Secrets left behind by Madelyne Pryor, the clone of Jean Grey created by Mister Sinister. Was she stull meant to be dead? I lost track.

SINISTER SECRET #4 While every Sinister has been busy wondering how they might be affected by current events, almost no one noticed what washed ashore. A word of advice to all things sinister: Don't embrace the revelry, or there won't be anything for you to celebrate.

The cocoon of Jean Grey found by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, returning Jean Grey to life?

SINISTER SECRETS REVEALED! Certain people are wondering where the tyrant-dispelling Sinister got his mutant gene. And while that really isn't an interesting story, whom the DNA originally belonged to is.
[John Proudstar/Thunderbird]

One of the Giant-Sized X-Men new team, Thunderbird, linked to Sinister?

SINISTER SECRET #5 He's the best there is at what he does. She's married with a kid. The husband knows exactly what's going on, but who is he to point the finger? He's up to much the same, and more. Maybe this is just the new normal on the mutant island.

Wolverine and Madelyne Pryor/Jean Grey with Cable as a son? Scott Summers and Emma Frost?

SINISTER SECRET #6 Everyone believed that the plan of this progerian mutant with secret sinister ties was foiled, but little did the gifted ones know that the destroyed samples were switched out beforehand.

SINISTER SECRET #7 Two brothers jumped out of a plane, and for the longest time, until he was discovered, many wondered if there was a third. If we told you there were more, would you believe me? Probably not.

Scott Summers and Alex Summers – and a third Summers brother in Vulcan. But could there be more Summers siblings?

SINISTER SECRET #8 For years, this fittest-of-all mutant has routinely surrounded himself with a particular-numbered entourage. These hangers-on stick around for a while until they are eventually replaced with newer, more exciting members. What most people don't know is that if the original members returned, these pretenders would be dropped so fast their heads would spin.

Apocalypse and his four horsemen. The return of the originals? Including Phantom Bats of the Twelve Minds?

SINISTER SECRET #9 They say the kids are all right, but all is not right in paradise. This non-couple couple has been apart so long, friends are expecting that when they see each other again fireworks are going to ensue. Is the universe ready? Judging by how unprepared everyone was for what's happened so far, we kind of doubt it.

Fireworks… Wolverine and Jubilee?

SINISTER SECRETS REVEALED! We don't hear this word spoken often, so when we do, it's best to pay attention, because when you square that circle, what took a long time to build can come crumbling down rather quickly.
[Inferno]

House Of M perhaps?

SINISTER SECRET #10 Which brainwashed mutant Sinister was replaced long before a certain bald somebody knew and has been in on the game for almost as long as the game was being played? Shhhhhhhh!

Considering the events in Invaders today, is this Namor? Or could Black Bolt be a mutant now? There's a lot to interpret…

HOXPOX Cypher

Let us know your thoughts. Oh, and talking of interpretation…

For The ChildrenThat's 'FOR THE CHILDREN' everybody.
