[@trentgibson581]

UGH what a let down huh?! Man Apocalypse was THE SHIT in the 90's!!! - Apocalypse, The Juggernaut, Magneto, Sabertooth Omega Red... the 90's cartoon did SOOOO RITE by these characters, their looks- the voice actors... God that 90's vibe!!! I still remember watching the cartoon every Saturday morning and then taking my allowance and going straight to the comic shop - which I was too young to really read and understand the comics, but THE CARDS?!?! 92- the jim Lee set (which I was too young to understand the Jim Lee importance, but still such a awesome and iconic set, even to a 7 yrold. I'm STILL wondering who the fuck MOJO ll is Lolo) then the 93 set!- the cards based off of the cartoon (FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!l l)... AND THEN 94 the first fleer ultra set- THIS SET WAS SO ICONIC, THEY'RE MAKING RECENT CARD SETS IN THE SAME STYLE CUZ THAT SET DID SO WELL! FUCK I LOVED X-MEN IN THE EARLY TO MID 90's!! Everything went downhill right around when the onslaught story came out- AT THE TIME, it had SO MUCH POTENTIAL.. . Seeing The juggernaut scared?! And then seeing him get fucked up by a mystery character... SO MUCH POTENTIAL. But it allllll went down hill not just a few months later. The onslaught story went down hill, BUT WORSE, the ARTWORK OF THE LATE 90's SUUUUUUCKED big fat floppy donkey deek!! Even at DC... it's like marvel and DC were copying each other to keep the art work similar but it was SOOOO shitty back then. And YES I know everyone makes fun of the super jacked up characters with all the pouches in the early 90's artwork- Rob Liefeld, BUT THATS the artwork that the 90's cartoon based itself off so in my opinion early/mid 90's artwork will forever be ICONIC. The late 90's tho... it just all seems SUPER CARTOONY in a way I can't describe- other than it's just DIFFERENT AND SHITTIER than the early -mid 90's artwork. And then post millennium came and the goofy cartoony artwork FINALLY died out a bit and we started getting better styles like Jim Lee's hush artwork, or the art work found in House of M- I know Bendis wrote it, I forget the artist off the top of my head (morelli? Moore?- I KNOW it wasn't Alan Moore but was it another Moore? I'm trying to think of the names on the cover and spine of the HC book... anywho... and then shortly after that we got that really cool computer generated art work found in the X-force and Messiah war... THAT was a good era!!! BUT ONCE AGAIN right after second coming the X-men moved to San Fran/Utopia and the whole story line just got too Alphabeteresque for me (YES! I KNOW THE X-men are all about equality and shit, but it's COOL when u use MUTANTS as an allegory... It's TOO on the nose for me when every other mutant is either something like PIXIE, OR a straight up Alphabeter.... GAAAAY!) I'm good!!! ... I walked away and haven't really been back since! Hickman STARTED strong but QUICKLY went no where I wanted to follow- ESPECIALLY since you had to read ALLLLLL of the monthly x titles if you wanted to make sense of any ONE of them.. even the 5th or 6th volume of the solo wolverine title- which ever number we were at when Wolverine's solo title kicked off in line with Hickmans x-men run... but even THAT wolverine solo series- THEY WILL NEVER be able to sell it in a collected format simply by itself (I mean, I know they will, cuz it's all about the money to them, BUT THEY SHOULDN'T cu those issues of wolverine collected and read together in order just by themselves make NOOOO SENSE!!) By issues 4 or 5 the reader realizes these early issues MAY have a tiny thread of a story line connecting them, but it's NOT MUCH of a thread and there is SOOOO MUCH OTHER SHIT GOING ON, THERES NO WAY a reader could just that ONE wolverine title and make sense of it, you have to read ALLLL the monthly titles... Hickman's RUN WAS NOTHING BUT A CASH GRAB FOR MARVEL, who, at the same time was saying "Fuck our loyal readers and fans, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!" .... Damn I miss the 90's X-men!!!

Can I just say that it must be funny for Selene whenever Apocalypse claims he’s the oldest mutant. Because she’s probably just looking at him whilst she’s sipping her wine and being smug. Also, I’d love it if there were hieroglyphs on the walls of his stronghold from Ancient Egypt. Ones depicting this white lady in a black corset, stunning archaeologists for decades, with a cartouche at the bottom saying “Do not let this witch into my house”.

[@darksideapoc]

I would not even consider the new version of Apocalypse as canon because he has been so butchered by the current writers at Marvel! They ignored why he was made, and what he represented just to do a whole "let's make the classic heroes into villains and the villains into heroes". They also butchered Beast along with most of the Xmen. Anyways I love your channel and keep doing the good work!

[@axelthouin4389]

na he his not

[@TheOther644]

Apocalypse was never truly the first Mutant, comic wise Selene come out in New Mutants back in 1983. A good 3 years before Apocalypse appeared, and she's 12,000 years older then Apocalypse. I'm being the first Mutant is just his ego and all that. The whole him rising to the Patheon of the Celestials is actually apart of his greater plan. Yes he was brough up on the whole strongest survive, and his wife (a new add on to his history) had him to bring it to the world. Plus the Celestial choose him to shape the word and proper for their judgement. And from that he has been enhanced by the Celestials and keeps growing in power, and the Techno-Organic-Virus his body gets burnt out so he needs to go into stasis or find a new host body. So one of the reasons his been pushing everyone (mainly mutants) to evolve so he can find/create among them a perfect host and take his place among the Celestial. He revealed that to Cyclops in 1991's X-Factor vol 1 #68.

[@Markbell73]

And this is the reason why I never got into comics very much. Backstories are usually too convoluted. Too time loopy. Too non-linear. And they keep getting added onto. It's imagination run wild and loose. Which I admire. But only somewhat. My biggest personal problem with this, is it leaves little to know room for my own imagination to fill in blanks. This is why the mysterious characters in any lore or fantasy tend to be the more popular characters.

[@wiggy5209]

But that really isn't the case ...normally the ones focused on the most and have the most back story and show time are the ones loved

[@flanbeau]

And this is the reason why I stopped reading comics, coming from an older era where they were simpler and you didnt need to buy ten different comics the same months to understand what was hapening in one of them. They are the equivalent of a cake done by a 7 years old: layers upon layers of everything he likes from ice cream to grilled cheese and it doesnt even fit the mouth. And the same is already happening in movies, what people call super heros fatigue is just what you described.

[@incognit01233]

This is their attempt to shoe horn in the largely hated apocalypse clone "evan" that no one likes and basically ends apocalypse as an even slightly viable villain or antagonist forever. The better origin was him just being the bald grey mutant child of Rama tut left to die in the desert that was found and raised by a group of warrior/slaves who lived by the creed, the fit survive. Kind of like freeman. This other bullshit story should be tossed out as trash and ignored like everything to do with nightcrawlers current idiotic origin.

[@christopherulichney]

I think Louise and Walter Simonson would be amazed at the convoluted backstory that has been revealed for Apocalypse. I'm pretty sure they didn't have any of this backstory in their heads when they created the character as a new villain for X-Factor. How about video on RED NORVELL, the red headed Thor stand in. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

Am I remembering "The Twelve" incorrectly? I recall the culmination of that storyline being Apocalypse's intent to transfer himself into the body of young Nate Grey, not the Living Monolith, and Cyclops intervened by tackling Nate ("his son" from another timeline) out of the mechanism--- with Nate then saying something along the lines of, "No, you fool, we're related--- your genetics are going to work just as well as mine, for his plan!" or something that effect. Am I misremembering? My recollection was that it was Nate's "genetic superiority" which made him Apocalypse's dream bod.

[@samwill7259]

It's always hard for me to think of Apocalypse as a mutant in the standard mold. Maybe it's just me but in the 90s especially it seems that Marvel put less focus on mutants having a power. His powers are so multi faceted and he's so technologically enhanced that having actual X Gene powers seems irrelevant in most of the stories involving him.
