Type of Villain

Hegemonic Social Darwinist

“	As we purged the country, so now do we cleanse the globe. Listen closely...and hear the toll of doom as it chimes for humans worldwide. Hear the flatscans cry for a dream stolen as they drop their guard...to coddle false promises of hope and empty treaties of peace.	„
	~ Apocalypse to his Horsemen.

“	All prisoners will be culled. Let the weak perish* and the strong survive. This has always been the way of Apocalypse.*	„
	~ Apocalypse's overall philosophy.

En Sabah Nur, best known as Apocalypse, is the titular main antagonist in the Marvel Comics crossover, Age of Apocalypse. Much like his Earth-616 counterpart, he is a mutant supremacist who believes that the weak only exist to be slaughtered by the strong, and is the one responsible for turning the world into the war-torn hellscape it is now. He is also the omnicidal Holocaust's father.

Biography[]

One of the earliest mutants on the planet, Apocalypse, along with his trusted ally, Sinister, witnessed the first televised proof of the existence of other super-beings when Legion accidentally murdered his father, Charles Xavier. Apocalypse, a strict believer in the survival of the fittest, launched his offensive against humankind. With Xavier dead, and Apocalypse beginning his offensive ten years earlier than he did in the Marvel Universe, there was no one to stand in his way. Eventually, Magneto created a team of mutants called the X-Men. By this point Apocalypse had already gathered his Horsemen. At first Apocalypse had many lieutenants he called Horsemen. After Apocalypse took over all of North America he announced the War of Secession, a battle between all of his Horsemen; he let it rage until only four Horsemen remained. His first attempt to take over the world was when his Horsemen attacked the Cape Citadel missile base, attempting to nuke the entire globe to wipe out all traces of human existence. Thankfully the X-Men stopped this plan, but sadly not before Holocaust killed Magneto's daughter Scarlet Witch in the battle.

As time moved on, Apocalypse defeated most of the world's governments, waging genocide on all humans and weaker mutants with slave camps and breeding pens placed worldwide. The only remaining threat to his rule was the X-Men and the Human High Council in Europe. Apocalypse planned a surprise attack while he negotiated a peace treaty between mutants and humans. Named the Kelly Pact, it called for peace and the end of genetic testing, something Apocalypse never planned to do. However, Apocalypse did not realize his kingdom was crumbling around him. His greatest and oldest ally, Sinister, had deserted him. His most powerful Horseman, Mikhail, had gone rogue. And Abyss and Holocaust were engaged in personal battles that distracted them from the big picture. Apocalypse had surrounded himself with powerful men who were proving to be less than reliable.

Apocalypse finally learned Magneto's whereabouts and captured him. Meanwhile, the X-Ternal traitor Strong Guy stole the M'Kraan Crystal, which Magneto planned to use to change the past and ensure the Age of Apocalypse never came to pass, and delivered it to Apocalypse, who then planned to rule the entire universe with said crystal. The X-Men teleported into Apocalypse's New York City base and attacked his forces. Magneto was freed by X-Man, Sinister's genetic creation. Magneto fought Apocalypse and tore him apart by using all the magnetic powers at his disposal, killing him once and for all.
