In the following thousands of years, the apocalypse wandered around the world, launching wars to test which nation and nation were the "fittest." In the 20th century, he believed that superpowers and ordinary humans could not coexist, so he firmly opposed the X-Men idealists who supported "peaceful coexistence". At that time, Laser Eye formed X-Factor, and Apocalypse made its debut in the struggle with them.
The 1996 comic The Rise of Apocalypse supplemented the origin of the Apocalypse.
He was born in the first dynasty of Egypt in 3000 BC. His parents are unknown. He was born with gray skin and blue lips. He is an abandoned baby, adopted by a group of wanderers in the desert, named En Sabah Nur (the first) by the leader Baal, and grew up in cruel battles.
According to the prophecy, Baal believed that this child had the potential to overthrow the powerful pharaoh Rama-Tut. The Egyptian general Ozymandias wiped out their tribe, and Baal took Nur into the cave and died in a landslide. Nur is determined to avenge the Pharaoh, and this Pharaoh (Kang the Conqueror) also wants to contain him, but he is caught in a battle with the Fantastic Four. Nur saved Ozymandias' sister Nephri, and had feelings for her, but she was afraid of Nur's weird appearance and abandoned him. This stimulation catalyzed Nur's mutation ability and changed her name to Apocalypse (Apocalypse). He transformed Ozymandias into his servant. After Rama-Tut left, Nephri became the queen. Fifty years later, the immortal apocalypse appeared in front of her and laughed at her as an old lady.
The Apocalypse appeared before mankind in later times and was worshipped as a god by virtue of its power. He provoked various wars to test the power of these humans. He discovered some alien technology, which further strengthened himself. He fought against the Eternals, one of the oldest superpower races on Marvel. In the 12th century, a French crusader knight who came to his hiding place was inspired by him and became the later important villain Exodus (this man also lived for hundreds of years). In order to wait for more mutants to appear, Apocalypse stayed dormant for a while, letting his Ozymandias and Akkaba tribes take care of him.
In 1859, he met British scientist Nathaniel Essex and learned about the scientific theory of mutants from elsewhere. Apocalypse transformed Essex into Mr. Omen, let him create a global plague and wipe out the British royal family, but was stopped by the laser eye and phoenix that passed from the future, and Mr. Omen also betrayed him. In 1897, Apocalypse fought against the vampire Dracula.
Apocalypse originally planned to dormant into the 21st century, but Laser Eye’s son Cable accidentally awakened him when he returned to the 20th century from the future. Apocalypse believes that it is necessary to increase the power of mutants and replace humans, so it clashed with X-Men, X-Factor, and Avengers. He summoned the "Four Apostles", including the transformed angels, to attack New York. Apocalypse captured X-Factor (formed by the first generation of X-Men such as Laser Eye), studied their abilities, and wooed them, but failed, and the angel returned to his companions and his plan was shattered.
In the "Evolutionary War", Apocalypse encountered the High Evolutionary (High Evolutionary) that tried to force the evolution of all humans on the earth. The two had a fight due to disagreement. The Nordic Rocky organization villain master launched the Acts of Vengeance. ) Shi also came to invite Tianqi, but Tianqi did not buy his account.
In X-Factor’s story about Cable’s birth, it is revealed that Cable was created as a weapon against the Apocalypse under the planning of Mr. Omen. (Here is a big story: Mr. Omen began to study him when he was a child. He believes that the combination of his genes with Phoenix can produce powerful mutants. After Phoenix ran away and disappeared in the previous story, Mr. Omen created a clone of her and induced Laser Eye to combine with her and gave birth to a child, Nathan. , It’s Cable; Mr. Omen in the Apocalypse era also did similar things, so Nate Grey and Cable are the counterparts of the parallel world.) After
Apocalypse discovered this situation, he thought that Nathan, who was a child at the time, must be eliminated, and a dispute was involved. In the battle of the human race, Apocalypse was defeated, but little Nathan was infected with a virus and was forced to travel to the future world for treatment.
In the 39th century, the apocalypse ruled the world, and Nathan, who grew up there, eventually became Cable, defeated the apocalypse, and then returned to the 20th century to stop the apocalypse in the past. The story hurts the brain cells).
During the 39th century, Apocalypse caught a clone of Cable and transformed him into the villain Stryfe. This person also traveled to the 20th century to avenge the Apocalypse who had abused him. After some melee, the "Dark Riders" of Apocalypse took refuge. After Stryfe, he himself was gradually aging, trying to regain his youth but failed, causing himself to almost die. The "Apocalyptic Age" seems to have occurred in this period.
Apocalypse finally regained its vitality, just in time for Professor X to become Onslaught. Apocalypse enters the spiritual world with the enemy, Cable, and releases the captured Franklin from Onslaught. However, because the invisible woman does not trust him, the plan is not completely successful, and Onslaught leaves. In this incident, Hulk separated from Banner, and Apocalypse once turned Hulk into his apostle "War". The Hellfire Club released the humanoid weapon Harbinger that Apocalypse used to transform the Celestial (ancient cosmic god, the creator of the mutant X gene, and the ancient superpower race Eternals and Deviants) technology to transform the Apocalypse to help Cable and the Avengers. Defeated him. In the "Magnetic King War" incident, Apocalypse secretly opposed Magneto; he tried to provoke the Deviants to war with humans.
In the event of Apocalypse: The Twelve, Apocalypse spread the rumor that the twelve strongest mutants could kill themselves, enticing them to gather, and the real purpose is to use their energy to strengthen themselves.
Twelve "strongest" Mutants:
magnetic line 2:
Magneto
daughter Polaris (the North Star) Magneto's
Elemental 3:
Storm
Sunfire (kagero), one of Japan's most powerful mutants to produce atomic energy flame A powerful family of
icemen
:
Lasereye
Phoenix
Cable, the son of Lasereye and Phoenix clone Madelyne Pryor, inherited the power of the above two people, and grew up in the future world
through time and space. Two:
Bishop, which absorbs and emits energy, used to be The mutant hunter
Mikhail Rasputin of the future world , the brother of the master, controls the energy field and creates a space channel
spirit system:
Professor X
also has one as their core:
The Living Monolith, the Egyptian, who absorbs cosmic rays, strengthens the whole body, and launches various forms of energy attacks.
In the end, Apocalypse's plan was unsuccessful, and it merged with Laser Eye. Phoenix struggled to separate them.
After House of M, Apocalypse did not lose his power. Using the virus that had been infected with Cable, he reprogrammed his genetic code and created a new body. He used the new apostle to make people hungry and weak, and issued an ultimatum in the United Nations, demanding that humans perish 90% of themselves and compete with mutants for survival. But in the end he was defeated by the X-Men and the Avengers, and his old subordinate Ozymandias also defected. The story reveals that the Celestial Protoss loaned its technology to Apocalypse at the cost of causing him to endure great pain. When Tian Qi wanted to seek death, he found that he couldn't ask for death.
In the 2009 event Messiah War (Messiah War), the weak Apocalypse was defeated by Stryfe and Bishop in the future world. He begged the angel to kill himself, but the latter helped Apocalypse recover in order to rescue Stryfe's threatened companion and defeated Stryfe together. . Tianqi tried to take away the "Messiah" girl Hope (the first mutant child born after House of M) and was stopped by everyone, but he said he would come back.
The Age of Apocalypse The Age of
Apocalypse originated from Professor X’s son Legion (David Haller, nicknamed a large group, severely multiple personality patient, Omega-class mutant). He traveled through time and space many years ago to help his father. Professor X and Magneto were friends. At any moment, prepare to kill Magneto and remove obstacles for his father. Unexpectedly, Professor X blocked the attack for him in order to save his friend and died.
Apocalypse seized this opportunity and wiped it out in the bud before the "hero age" of the true story began, and successfully conquered North America. Magneto inherited the professor's legacy and formed the X-Men to fight the Apocalypse heroically, but Still failed. The sky inspired a global "selection" of genocide, killing non-mutants, including many superheroes. At that time, there were a few short comics describing the teams in this world. They are all from the main story, but the appearance and the way of dealing with people has changed a lot.
X-Calibre: Nightcrawler, a squad of witches, responsible for finding the mutant Destiny who can see the future.
Gambit and the X-Ternals: The king's team, responsible for finding the M'Kraan crystal that communicates all reality in space.
Generation Next: Generation X, the student team from the main story, led by the master and the phantom cat, rescues the master's sister.
Amazing X-Men: Fast Shadow, Storm Girl, Iceman, etc., help humans escape to Europe.
Astonishing X-Men: The leader is the Raksha girl (here she appears as Magneto's wife), who is responsible for preventing the "selection". After encountering Holocaust, the right and left hand of Apocalypse, the saber-toothed tiger fought fiercely with him.
Weapon X: It is Wolverine. He and his lover Jane Gray came to the United States on the order of the Human Resistance Organization "Human High Council". They did not prepare for the upcoming nuclear attack, but Jane opposed the plan and left
Factor X: The Elite Mutant Forces (EMF) of some old characters, including Laser Eye, are subordinates of Apocalypse, imprisoning and torturing human captives in his base camp, and cruel scientists and beasts also experiment with captives. Laser Eye has actually betrayed the Apocalypse and helped mankind escape, but was exposed by his jealous brother Havok. Laser Eye was helped by Jane Gray.
X-Man: Mr. Sinister, a man of Apocalypse, secretly used laser eyes and Jane Gray's gene to create a test tube baby, Nate Grey, which has the most powerful mental power. Mr. Sinister tried to use him to overthrow the Apocalypse and replace it himself. But Nate left the laboratory due to an attack at a very young age, and met Forge and others from the rebellious organization, who grew up under their education. When Mr. Sinister killed the Blacksmith, Nate angrily shot him to death, and then went to the Apocalypse’s Lair to challenge
X-Universe: The warriors of the Human High Council confronted Mikhail Rasputin, one of the Apocalypse Apostles, including Tony. Stark (formerly Iron Man), Don Blake (former Thor people), Victor von Doom (formerly Dr. Doom)
in the final decisive battle, magneto troops into the headquarters of the apocalypse. The angel who was suspicious of the apocalypse sacrificed himself and destroyed the force field generating device of the apocalypse. Magneto and Nate Grey battle Apocalypse and Holocaust. Bishop, who retains the memory of the official history, returns to the past through the M'Kraan crystal to prevent Legion from killing his father. Jane Gray blocked the Human High Commission’s nuclear bomb, but was killed by Havok. Weapon X killed Havok; a traitor attempted to hijack Magneto’s son Charles and was killed by a Raksha girl.
In the end, Magneto tore the Apocalypse in half, and Nate Grey stabbed Holocaust with M'Kraan crystal shards, and then he was transferred to the world of official history on Earth 616.
At the end of the time, the Apocalypse era disappeared, but it was later set as an official parallel world: Earth-295

story of the Four Knights of the Future Apocalypse "Avengers V4", due to the future events triggered by Kang the Conqueror, the Avengers had to start studying the technology of time travel, but after a time disorder, the future Apocalypse and the new Four Knights of the Apocalypse appeared in In front of everyone.
The future Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are all half-man and half-horse bodies. They are mutated original superheroes. During the battle, the Captain America shouted "She is Wanda!" to one of them, and after the battle, Spider-Woman also One of Spider-Man is his future incarnation, so it can be seen that the future Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the four original superheroes that have been polluted.
The gray knight has a long feather crown on the head and black markings on the upper body. The gray horse on the lower body spit out lightning. It is not difficult to see that this is a defiled Wolverine with the claw-like weapon protruding from his hand and the shape of the crown.
