Mr. Sinister's original origin was to have been a scientist that worked with Xavier waaay back in the young days and discovered how to graft the X Gene onto human DNA- and procedded to do so with every awesome mutant power he could get his hands on.
The whole Marauders wiping out the Morlocks was supposed to be eliminating them while collecting samples of the victims.

Sorta like that bad guy from the Heroes TV series.

So, Sinister looks like "Colusssus in drag" because he was useing a copy of Peter's powers when he confronted the X-Men in Inferno (along with telepathy, telekinesis and a score of other powers).

He would've been like an evil Mimic and mutants would have become a resource for humans to harvest, and there was going t be a Magneto connection (explaining why Vertigo was on the Marauders). I think it was going to be magneto trying to mutate the human population but it never happened.

Some of this coolness was kept and some discarded after Claremont never followed up on the character (big suprise!) and later writers went in another direction.
All the Marauders have been killed and cloned in established contunity- including Sabertooth (in Inferno).

Now it's been revealed that Sinister is Gambit's father (explaining Gambit's beady eyes) and gambit recruited the Marauders, not kowing what they would do in thte Morlock tunnels.

But he still looks like Colusssus in drag.
