Cyclops) fall in love with her and have a baby that Sinister could use as a mutant weapon. For example, he created a clone of Jean Grey named Madelyne Pryor while Jean was dead and sent Madelyne to make Scott Summers (a.k.a. After the world’s premier team of mutants, the X-Men, were formed, he popped up periodically to torment them via extremely convoluted plans. Over time he became fixated on the development of the mutant species. As such, he stuck around well into the 20th century. The two formed an alliance and Apocalypse granted Essex abilities including superhuman longevity. He had an encounter with Apocalypse, who had been awakened from his centuries-long slumber. In comics mythology, he was originally a human scientist in Victorian England, one obsessed with Darwin’s then-new theory of evolution by natural selection. His basic deal is that he’s a master schemer with vaguely defined superpowers and a fantastically goth aesthetic. Sinister/Essex is actually very difficult to describe. Nevertheless, he’s a recognizable name for anyone who devoured X-series in the 1980s and ‘90s. In the Marvel Comics from which the X-franchise sprang, Sinister has a significant history, despite the fact that he’s not a terribly fascinating bad guy.* But now that Fox has used up Magneto, Apocalypse, and the Sentinels, they’re running out of great X-Men antagonists. This is a reference to an X-Men villain named Mister Sinister, whose civilian name is Nathaniel Essex. As it closes, the audience sees it has a large, metallic emblem on it that reads “ESSEX CORP.” He obtains medical records and a vial of blood belonging to Logan, puts the vial in his briefcase, then closes it theatrically. The key person in the dialogue-free scene is a bespectacled man in a suit who walks among the corpses with a purposeful gait. Logan/Wolverine - known in the facility as Weapon X - was one of them, and the post-credits clip begins with a cleanup crew tending to the trail of dead bodies left in his wake after Jean Grey and company liberated him.
It’s where black-ops military man Stryker engages in experiments on mutants. Once the dust settles (literally) from the climactic, Cairo-set battle between the X-people and the titular Apocalypse, we return to a secret military outpost that was introduced earlier in the movie. The final shot is a tease about the future of the franchise, but it features a reference that will be lost on 99 percent of the non-comics-reading public.
#X MEN APOCALYPSE REDITR MOVIE#
This is not the scene, but we didn’t want to spoil you.Īnother big-budget superhero movie is in theaters, and you know what that means: a mysterious post-credits scene! If you saw the ninth (!) movie in the X-Men franchise, X-Men: Apocalypse, and stuck around as the Quebecois visual-effects artists were listed and the Teamsters were thanked, you saw a little sequence that probably confused you.
