“What If Mr. Sinister Formed the X-Men? Sinister Perspectives”

In What If...? #74: "What If Mr. Sinister Formed the X-Men? Sinister Perspectives", writer Simon Furman and artists Nathaniel Palant, Mike Halbleib, and Marie Javins explore a chilling alternate path where Mr. Sinister recruits a team of mutants to serve his ends—only to find their internal rifts more troublesome than any enemy. When the X-Men clash with a rival team bearing the same name, Cyclops’ unexpected bond with Jean Grey sets off a chain of events that reshapes the future, all while Sinister’s true intentions remain just out of reach. The cover by Liam Sharp captures the eerie tension of this twisted twist on mutant destiny.

Mr. Sinister's X-Men battle Magneto and win but Sinister is still displeased with his team as they can't seem to get along with each other. He sends them to Cairo to contact a new mutant but they run across a rival team, the "X" Men. Cyclops feels an instant affinity for Jean Grey and stays behind to keep Sabretooth from killing her when Sinister calls him home. Thus, he is not back at the base to protect Sinister when Magneto and the Brotherhood attack. With Sinister dead, Cyclops and Havok decide to join Xavier and his "X" Men. Of course, this is all part of Sinister's master plan.
