12 X-Men Villains For Kevin Bacon

Meet the runners and riders for First Class's big bad

Mr. Sinister

The Villain: The red-hot favourite. A gifted geneticist, Sinister was himself genetically altered by the ancient mutant Apocalypse (more on him later), granting him not only the usual superpowers of strength, telepathy and flight, but also the ability to “turn off” a mutant’s powers. Pretty nifty, that last one. Throw in the fact that he’s been secretly messing with Cyclops (who has a big role in the film) since the X-man was a baby, and he looks the obvious choice as First Class’s main event.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon: Creepy bloke? A danger to kids? Been there, done that in The Woodsman.

      Sinister of the Friends of Humanity for that old humanity is its own worst enemy story which the comics have done so well, God Loves, Man Kills fo example though most of which was the basis for X2

      what about a young magneto or a crazy, woman turn as professor X's power mad sister Cassandra Nova... we've all seen Kevin Bacon in Footloose so know that he's good at camp!

      Kevin Bacon? at last an underated actor who can bring the goods EFFORTLESSLY to a movie which can hopefully put him back on the map of A-list actors, where he belongs, quite impressed he maybe connected to the X Franchise!!! and yes Sinister is a great choice!..............
