Powers and Abilites

 * Essence Transferal - Through a special ritual, Apocalypse is able to transfer his consciousness into another host.
 * Longevity:  This ability makes Apocalypse immortal, as once his body ages and grows weak, he is able to move into a younger and more powerful body.
 * Power Absorption:  Apocalypse usually selects other mutants to be his new host every time he transfers his consciousness. By doing this, he retains all of his previous powers, in addition to gaining the new host's abilities as well.
 * Telepathy -  Apocalypse has the power to dominate the minds of others, forcing them to do his bidding. This allowed him to make Magneto, Storm, Psylocke, and Archangel into his new incarnation of Four Horsemen. His power is so great that even Professor X is susceptible and displayed signs of great awe and fear of this power. Like Charles Xavier, he can cause people to instantly fall asleep and collapse. Much like Charles's ability to freeze entire rooms of people, he can make an entire room of people fall asleep, and, again like Charles, can leave some people in the room unaffected.
 * Telekinesis  - Apocalypse is able to move and levitate anything with his mind.
 * Technopathy - Sometimes when Apocalypse uses his powers, electrical appliances nearby will begin to malfunction. When he touched a television screen to learn of the modern world's languages and history, the machine emitted several bursts of static.
 * Matter and Energy Manipulation  - Apocalypse is able to manipulate all forms of molecules, allowing him to alter his physical size to an outstanding degree.
 * Regenerative Healing Factor: Apocalypse has the ability of instantaneous healing. When Mystique slit his throat, he regenerated within a few moments.
 * Mutant Enhancement - Apocalypse can enhance other mutant's powers and abilities to the maximum degree.
 * Teleportation - Apocalypse can teleport himself and various individuals to anywhere he chooses, by creating a bubble of purple energy around himself.
 * Flight - Apocalypse has the ability to levitate himself off the ground.
 * Shielding - Apocalypse is able to generate an energy shield around him to defend himself against all forms of attack.
 * Armor: Apocalypse merged with a Celestial battle-suit that greatly increases his already formidable physical attributes, and provides further protection against harm.
 * Superhuman Strength - Apocalypse possesses superhuman strength, that allows him to lift most objects with ease.
 * Superhuman Reflexes: Upon being attacked by Quicksilver, Apocalypse demonstrated the ability to observe and adapt to his environment in an extremely short amount of time.
