The Secret Origin of The Sentry

Okay so I was watching Superman IV The Quest for Peace the other day (I'm unemployed and bored okay) and something didn't sit quite right for me. What happened to the Nuclear Man at the end? He supposedly blew up in the very source of his power, the sun (more on that later). Then I finally figured out why we haven't seen the Nuclear Man in DC comics ever....or anywhere else in the DC universe.
The Nuclear Man is Marvel's The Sentry.
Let me edify my argument:
1.) NM got his power from what? An exploding sun, and the Sentry has the power of what? exploding suns.
2.) Their costumes. eerily similar in design and form. Black and orange can easily transform to yellow and blue. Plus both have askeiwed lettering as their symbol. Both have long blonde hair.
3.) The Sentry believes that he was/is a villan.
4.) NM was made from the DNA of Superman, after his cross dimension bounce he comes to our world, reimagines his costume with the "S" because he was obsessed with that symbol. Also this explains why Sentry claims he is a hero and no one in the Marvel universe recognizes him.
5.) Lex manipulated the DNA to make NM subserviant. This explains why he is so obsiquess to Norman Osborn.
The proof is undeniable. The science is sound. And another of comicdom's great mysteries is solved.
