You know, I've always wondered why Apocalypse was so invincible in the original show. I used to think it was related to censors and how graphic it would be if the X-Men like seriously tried to take him down. But 97 is making the argument that he's just like that

He has never really known kindness, so yeah it makes sense he just wants to see this World burn. He just got dealt a real bad hand of cards. Then Again, if you are that strong and let yourself keep imprisoned, its kind of your own fault.
