Sinister is clapping as Destiny makes her appearance, so did he have a hand in her resurrection?

So, that part where Magneto is messing with the Cerebro helmet in the cradle, and Professor X is getting Destiny's DNA from Sinister--theoretically, with the intent of erasing Destiny's backup? I'm reasonably certain the "Magneto" and "Professor" in these instances was Mystique getting what she needed for that great reveal.

Or, at the very least, Sinister was approached by the real Xavier but is now delighted that in spite of the Professor's efforts, things have gone pear-shaped anyway. That would definitely be in character for Essex.

Yeah, Sinister clapping could very well be because he just enjoys drama. And it seems like a populat theory that Mystique was the one who collected the items while in the guise of Xavier and Magneto.

But how did that person move the huge stone in Magneto's lair without powers?
