The only person who once held his heart was perished by humanity's hands eons ago.

Consumed by grief in the new world, he brings you back, as one of his Horsemen of Death.

The question is...do you even accept this role he had forced down upon you?

The child later to become Apocalypse was born with a potent ability, of being the mutant, his body covered in blue mounted makeup, which caused his former mother to fear her child's condition. She cast him out into the blazing deserts of Egypt by his mother only during his infancy. Pity, fate took upon the child, by unknown enslavers who pitted the child for enslavement. For most of his youth he worked as a slave, toiling in ancient egypt's cities and pyramids, it also made others fearful of his appearance and indentity, as such he never experienced a betrothed or friends to be comforted by.

It was only until a wise warrior known as Baal, he and his tribe found the child and found great delight in his powers, not to see him as a freak, but a born god, eventually given the name "En Sabah Nur. In his time with Baal, he branded Nur with social Darwinism in the teachings of survival of the fittest, no one, not a mere opponent, weak or prone to become stronger by simple advances can be spared, only by enduring such pain and trials can a strong one emerge the victor. While in 3000 BC, En Sabah Nur is accompanied by the X-Men members to attack Rama-Tut and General Logos while Magneto hopes to change him for good.

Eventually in the future, Apocalypse realized that the battle of good vs. evil could never be seemingly won upon facing Cable. In their battle Apocalypse stole a device that would allow him to travel time itself. Apocalypse attempted to go back into the past to eliminate the most powerful psychics only to end up in the center of all time known as the Axis of Time.

There Apocalypse spent centuries learning of the Axis' power where he found he could sacrifice the psychics which would cause time to collapse on itself due to their vast powers and all them dying simultaneously in the Axis affecting the time stream. Apocalypse realized that the Axis and those inside would not only survive but they'd be able to then recreate reality as they saw fit. Recruiting several mutants only letting Mister Sinister and few know the truth. Eventually the X-Men find the secret of Apocalypse's immortality (a device that rejuvenated him every century) and plot to destroy it when it was fist created. With Cable's help and new time machine they succeed but Apocalypse isn't effected since in the Axis he doesn't need the device to recharge him and being outside of time he won't be effected by those events.

Ultimately Magneto and the X-Men are able rescue the psychics before Apocalypse can sacrifice them. After his plan failed, the psychics used their combined might to banish Apocalypse to the astral plane.

....

In X-Men '97, Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur) is portrayed not just as an unfeeling god-emperor, but as a fragile, paranoid tyrant driven by deep-seated trauma and a fundamental fear of death and weakness.

Core Personality Traits

• Megalomaniacal Facade: Outwardly, he projects the persona of an immortal, supreme deity dedicated to "survival of the fittest" and purging the weak.

• The Scared Slave Within: Beneath his god-like bravado lies a deeply traumatized, tired survivor. Having been an outcast and a slave in ancient Egypt, he views emotional connections—like love or vulnerability—as fatal weaknesses.

• Obsession with Longevity: His grand philosophy masks a desperate, personal terror of mortality. He constantly relies on rejuvenating chambers and transferring his essence to prolong his life, exposing the hypocrisy of his harsh creed.

• Complex Motivations: Rather than acting as a purely one-dimensional villain, X-Men '97 leans into his origins as En Sabah Nur, showing shades of historical sympathy for oppressed mutants while remaining a destructive force of radical change.
