Is Mister Sinister good?
Mister Sinister's regeneration is some of the most consistent and powerful around, and he reflects damage-over-time effects back at the opponent as Degeneration. His first Special Attack quickly transfers both Bleed and Poison onto the opponent, which is exactly what makes Liquid Courage and Double Edge work well on him despite him not being flatly immune to either.
Heal Block shuts down his entire survival plan, and he can't reflect damage-over-time effects onto Robot opponents. D tier for a sustain-focused Mutant with a clean counter.

Background
Nathaniel Essex, a scientist in the latter half of the 19th century, pledged loyalty to the mutant-demi god Apocalypse in exchange for activation of his dormant X-Factor.
Donning the moniker of Mister Sinister, Essex began to engineer bloodlines in the hope of creating the perfect mutant.
His attention would eventually focus on two particularly gifted children, Scott Summers and Jean Grey.
In command of the Marauders, a band of mutants that follow him, Mister Sinister has been the mastermind of many schemes and plots, not the least of which was the birth of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor’s child, Nathan Summers, also known as Cable.
