eh sort of.... his origin has just enough of an opening to use your idea but this is his origin:
Quote:
Nathaniel Essex was born in Victorian England during the 19th Century. He was obsessed with Charles Darwin's theory on evolution. He truly began his work in 1859 when he learned that humanity was steadily becoming mutant, thanks to what he classified as Essex factors. His work intensified when his four-year-old son died of various birth defects. He formed the Marauders when he couldn’t get backing for his research. This team kidnapped people from the streets to act as test subjects on mutation. Essex even exhumed his son as a test subject.
The Marauders accidently stumble upon Apocalypse and awake him from his slumber. He sees potential in Essex and grants him mutations that give him longer life, advanced strength, and a healing factor. Essex took on the name Sinister, an adjective his dying wife used to describe the man he was becoming.
