Somewhere in the world, Nathaniel Essex, better known as Mr. Sinister, was working on one of his many projects. Recently, he had concentrated himself on breeding a mutant able to kill apocalypse for good. Cloning Jean Grey and the birth of Cable had taken much of his time and efforts but that didn't keep him from exploring other possibilities.
Through the considerable means at his disposal, he had learned of the japanese mutant program. Those at its head were traditionalists, reactionnary and fanatical to the extreme. A potent combination that made them receptive to his eugenics theories. In exchange for his technical help, he was given genetic samples (as well as ova and sperm) from the subjects.
The loss of the breeding facility was a setback undoubtedly but he had something else in mind, namely the fruit of crossing the samples from two mutants who had been held there.
Mutsumi Otohime was a promising telepath and had successfully clouded her jailers' minds on Ranma Saotome's true gender but to hide this from a telepath as powerful as him ? Not a chance.
The Jusenkyo curse had been an unexpected variable but opened new avenues of research for him. He had already sent some of his agents to procure water from certain cursed springs. During the two weeks Ranma had been unconscious at the facility, Sinister had taken samples from his two forms.
He hadn't lost sight of the escapees. Ranma's powers had proven to be a unique combination so far. Both Light and Darkness, balancing each other out in a deadly combination. Saotome and his genes were promising to say the least.
That's why he used the young martial artist's seed to fertilize an egg taken from Mutsumi Otohime. Jean Grey and Scott Summers had proven that a physical/mental match in parents had great chances of producing a powerful offspring.
The foetus was growing in an artificial womb. Readings told that it was a girl and gestation was proceeding as planned. Sinister smiled and wondered. Would Ranma and Mutsumi's daughter surpass Nathan Summers ?
So much to do and so little time... Intrigued by the potential of Ranma's genes, he had already sent a team of marauders to secure his parents for further experimentation. He also sent people to watch over Sunfire's new school. The 'Organization' would surely attempt to attack in one way or another. He wanted to see Ranma and the other mutants in action, to measure their true power.
And if Ranma Saotome or his daughter proved capable of killing Apocalypse once and for all, it would be even better for him.
