Notes:

Mother Righteous was revealed as a divergent of Mister Sinister in Legion of X #10, except for a red heart on her brow instead of a red diamond. In X-Men (6th series) #23, it was revealed she is actually a physical clone of Rebecca Essex, the original Sinister's late wife. Her mind and personality seem to be based off of Essex's memories of Rebecca, though, meaning she is not a true reincarnation of the original woman.
