One of the most interesting origins I've ever read is probably Mantra from Malibu Comics.  His/Her origin is a a warrior who has battled against an evil sorceror for over 1500 years, reincarnating into a new body after every death, is reincarnated into the body of 30 something single mom.  It's explained that the current female body contains massive amount of latent magical energy that he must harness to defeat the evil sorceror Boneyard.

As a comic it's just ok but I think it's one of the most unique origins out there.  I know Marvel has no plans for the Malibu characters but I could see some very interesting stories coming from a serious Marvel Max take on this character.
