oh, Apocalypse is actually the most honest villain you can get and that's part of what makes him interesting.. he doesn't lie about what he is, he doesn't even really deluded himself that much.. he knows he's doing horrible things but he also feels it will benefit the world (Xavier "humanity doesn't need your help to evolve" Apocalypse: "since when does humanity ever know what it wants?" - that's actually kind of true and what makes the line powerful, Xavier can't really argue with Apocalypse because he's right.. humans do tend to argue over what they want, Apocalypse feels he has the right to decide for them and is very open about it).

High Evolutionary (in Spider-Man at least) was like Doom mixed with Magneto - he went on about how humans were brutish / lower.. yet he would enslave, even kill people that opposed him : he was even cruel towards his own creations if they got too many ideas.. he was literally a tinpot dictator with a chip on his shoulder over how bad humans were.. the icing on the cake? High Evolutionary is not a mutant or a god.. he's a human..

so it's basically a human telling other humans they are lesser creatures.. which strikes me as a classic "Hellfire preacher" type who just happened to gain some Silver Surfer-ish cosmic power.
