Adaptational Villainy is a trope about a good guy becoming a villain in an adaptation, whereas Adaptational Jerkass is about a character who's kept the same morality, but it more of a jerk, which applies to Sinister here.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Mister Sinister's Mutant Massacre was carried out by his Marauders against the Morlocks, an atrocity to be sure, but a small-scale one. Here, he's responsible for a massive attack on Genosha that killed ''millions'' of mutants.

While she has a pragmatic purpose (if Xavier or Lilandra refuse, Deathbird can make a play for the throne), she clearly enjoys the emotional torment she causes, and as soon as Xavier hesitates to renounce his beloved X-Men, Deathbird makes an immediate attempt at a coup.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Adversary torments Storm by trapping her in a coffin to exploit her claustrophobia before Forge rescues her. When they both head to Snowsnake Tower for an ingredient for a medicine to remove the Adversary's infection, he reveals that insisted in joining her because he didn't want to leave her traversing the mine's tight confines alone.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: The "friend" refers to his love for Lilandra, whom he loves, while the "idol" refers to the X-men, whom he has trained to become beacons of hope for humans and mutants alike. The ritual has him choose between the two (specifically, removing all memories of his life on Earth) which would determine if he is worthy to marry Lilandra, though he hesitates. Though it seems he may be able to compromise the choice, sensing the horrors of the Genosian massacre from afar (symbolized by Gambit's death) forces him to choose returning to Earth and the X-men, even if it means risking the end of his relationship with Lilandra.

Back on Earth, Storm tends to the ill Forge while the Adversary taunts and messes with her mind. The creature tells her to forget Forge and let him die. Trapping her in an illusional coffin, trapping her in a claustrophobic area, the Adversary claims that Storm didn't lose her powers, she renounced her heritage and her friends, something she weakly admits to be true. However, Forge is able to rush to Storm's aid and sends the Adversary away. Forge's disease is growing worse and he tells her that there's a cactus that could help. Storm wants to go alone, but Forge is dying. Thus, they go together.
