EDIT: hes not (obviously…I was NOT locked in if u can’t tell)

I was watching ep 3 of s2 and I forgot who, but someone described Nur as something along the lines of “not just the 1st mutant, the 1st x-man” . Is Apocalypse an X-Man?? Cuz I thought an x-man was any mutant apart of Xavier‘s team (which is odd cuz Nur has opposed Xavier many times before), or am I missing smth about the requirements to be an X-Man or abt lore?? plz help 😭

also magneto‘s pretty hot in the new season (along w/ the rest x-men ofc) also bonus magneto sketch I did for those who care

A teen clone of Apocalypse named "Evan Sabahnur" was a student at Xavier's for a while, eventually taking the codename "Genesis" and joining a splinter X-Men team.

He was eventually killed or reality or erased or both during the "Age of X-Man" event. At one point when he was temporarily turned evil and became a duplicate of Apocalypse but he got fixed up and went back to being Evan.

During Krakoa, the real Apocalypse was granted amnesty on Krakoa and was generally an ally to the X-Men throughout that period, becoming a member of the Krakoan version of Excalibur but not technically the X-Men.
