    The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse in this reality is original Wolverine as War, original Xorn as Death, a hybrid clone of Polaris and Emma Frost as Pestilence and Cypher who created a symbiotic bond with Krakoa as Famine. Just to clarify some things.

      To be fair Apocalyse is not invincible as he may seems, Jean Grey the heaviest hitter in X-Men and one of the strongest in the whole Marvel series, but she always holds back out of fear. As for the rest of the X-Men none of them really at the cosmic tier which make Apocalypse look invincible.
      The one really threat probably Rogue, Mimic, Summer who can steal and copy power but then for whatever reason they often unable to use it when they supposed to use it (you know usual plot device).
      Ah, there is Also Nate Grey and Cable but they got weakened most of the time, or just not there at all.

    So a mutant with adaptive powers, incalculable strength, shape shifting, telekinesis, size manipulation, telepathy, self molecular manipulation, super speed, teleportation, insane levels of energy manipulation, high speed regenerative powers, flight, a vast intellect, thousands of years of experience, Celestial knowledge, tech and upgrades got mollywhopped by Nimrod?
    It's normal for Apocalypse to lose fights. It's what he's always been written to do despite his power set one of the most insane of any Marvel character. However, that's just crazy how strong Nimrod is. Short of abstracts and reality manipulators, Nimrod would have to be one of the strongest beings in existence at that point. But who's to say that Nimrod wouldn't just adapt to them as well. Nimrod's adaptive abilities aren't limited to just mutant powers. Nimrod out power adapted a power adapter. That's just crazy
    Just once though, can Apocalypse be written like Thanos? He was stopped or "killed" (how do you truly kill an immortal who can change his molecular structure at will) in AoA and every other story that I can think of right now. Yeah Thanos was always stopped too but people at least worry when he shows up. Apocalypse shows up and people just seem to act like he's fodder.
    Might as well change Apocalypse's name to Worf.

  • @danielkeith8218
    @danielkeith8218 4 года назад +1

    One of the biggest things that Hickman’s House of X and Powers of X has brought to the table is that any X-Men story that has ever been written by Marvel could have taken place in any of the ten lifetimes that Moira lived in. That any interaction where it was strictly mutants interacting with mutants in an X-related title could have happened in any of those timelines. Thus freeing creators from the need of continuity for Marvel’s 80 years to tell an excellent X-Men story. Stories that don’t quite fit the Earth 616 narrative can just be played off as alternate timelines from Moira’s lives. This both breaks and fixes continuity in multiple ways and makes way for some very creative storytelling by anyone who is on a mutant related title. This could explain away how Hickman says only two years have passed since the Morrison told story lines occurred.

    Just a quick info, the wolverine-like mutant is the horseman of war and is actually the real wolverine (James howlett), Xorn is Xorn (these two, along with apocalypse, mother or Moira, and the late Percival, are the only pureblood mutants on Krakoa), The Magneto like man is Pestilence and is a 2nd gen chimera of Lorna Dane and Emma Frost called North, the tree guy is Cypher and Krakoa symbiosis. Cylobel, Percival, Cardinal (Priest), and Rasputin, are sort of henchmen. Cylobel is a deviated Hound and a black brain (meaning her mind is unreadable, perfect for undetectable recon and infiltration) telepath. Both Cardinal and Rasputin are 3rd gen chimeras but Cardinal is the failure one.
    Then if you continue to read the info panel, you'll see Mother or Akkaba, this is most likely Moira.

    So Moira (if i am spelling that righr)
    Goes back in time so to speao when she dies back to her birth, then whenever she dies she enters a new timeline: and her working through several lives to help the mutants is not so much a to save them (from previous lives lived) but rather to eventually lead to a victory in the long run. Wich the other mutants know as well. So when wolverine kills her he knows that it probably wont end well for him, but eventually there will come a timeline when things will work out.
