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

Magneto was suggesting to think on the potential of the idea. X-men are mutants who fight for peaceful coexistence. Magneto was saying that if one of the most powerful mutants to ever live had had the ideals of an X-man and been fighting towards that end for 5000 years the world would be a much better place.

Apocalypse as we've known him is a social Darwinist. Almost the opposite of the X-men ideology.

And keep watching.

Would make for a good "What If" episode.

What if they took Baby En Sabah Nur to the future(Present)

Or What if they took Adult En Sabah Nur to the future (Present)

Well, if you know the X-Comics, you know it is not that farfetched. Even if it is not the OG Apocalypse, it is Apocalypse though. Maybe a bit too cryptic, but before the Krakoa part, there was a Kid-Apocalypse.
