Could Andre Mexer Actually Be X-Men Blue's New Blackbird?

When promoting X-Men ResurrXion, in a PR piece for Marvel.com, X-editor Daniel Ketchum writes

If I say, "A beloved X-Man returns and will lead the X-Men into the future," who will readers think I'm talking about?

Who is Andre Mexer, again?

Mexer was the star of Wolverine Saudade was a comic book published in 2006 by Panini France's Marvel Europa, by Jean-David Morvan and Philippe Bouchet,  a big success. In 2008, it was reprinted and translated by Marvel US. And practically ignored.

Andre Mexer, was born in a Brazilian slum dumpster to a 12-year-old mother who died from the experience, and whose body was thrown away.  Andre survived and grew up on the streets, leading a gang of gun running kids – until his mutant telekinetic powers emerged, which he used to protect his gang.

Then they tried to rob Wolverine. Wolverine called in Professor Xavier, another mutant was detected, there was a fight, other gangs and thugs got involved, Mexer was kidnapped, his gang were executed and Wolverine tracked Mexer down, fought the other biokinetic mutant, killed him but failed to save Mexer, who had been lobotomised.

Wolverine killed everyone, rescued Mexer, and sent him back to the US where he was hired as a powerless, lobotomised, janitor/mechanic. Keeping the Blackbird nice and clean. Possibly with his drool.

Well, X-Men Blue has been published without sign of Andre Mexer. Or was there? Because we know that Mexer was working as a janitor with the Blackbird.

And now the X-Men Blue team have a Blackbird. Provided to them by Magneto. A vehicle with which they seem to have an interesting relationship.

Who just turns up as and when needed.19

Could Andre Mexer actually…. be the Blackbird? His mind somehow entered the plane? Controlling it via telekinesis?

What do you reckon?
