History
Life and Death[]
Adam Essex is the first child of Rebecca and Nathaniel Essex. Adam was born in 1853, but, unfortunately, Adam was sick from birth and at the age of 4 he died.[1]
Legacy[]
Adam's death drove Nathaniel to investigate genetics and how they influence who lives and who dies. Driven to find answers, Nathaniel went so far as to dig up his son's corpse.[1]
When Rebecca, who at that time was pregnant again, discovered Adam's corpse in Nathaniel's laboratory and realized how far Nathaniel went she was horrified. She reburied Adam, but the stress and grief led to the premature birth. The baby was born dead and Rebecca died shortly after.[3]
Nathaniel was mentally and emotionally tormented when he realized that his search for knowledge, triggered by the death of his first child, led to the death of his second child and his beloved wife. Not wanting to feel it, Nathaniel turned to Apocalypse who transformed him into Mister Sinister, obsessed only with knowledge and not burdened by morality or emotions.[4]See Also
