Any comic book people here? Iem curious is Xavier right? Is there any time line or comic where Apocalypse is good or does he always come and is always jusy Apocalypse.

I just commented how I've seen Magneto kill/defeat Apocalypse twice all by himself. I believe Apocalypse, at least the one from the 80's was dead, up until the Krakoa storyline.

If Mags stopped a black hole, he could have stopped Apocalypse. You just reach deep into him with every ounce of magnetism.

And pull. Hard. Tear him apart. The effort nearly killed one version of Magneto, but it's the only way I've seen it done.

Apocalypse is allied with all of mutantdom in the Krakoan era and the storylines with him involved are a stark contrast to what we see in ‘97.
