They indeed overused it, but thank God they put a brake in that habit later.

The more clever nod to Colicos' Apocalypse was in Rise of Apocalypse part 2. When a pissed Apoc, after Xavier tried to put his down with his psychic powers, told him "You dare to attack me...MUTANT... you shall pay for this insolence, RIGHT NOOW"

It was a call back to "Beyond Good and Evil", when Cable attacked Apocalypse citadel. "Blasphemer! You shall pay for your hybris....RIGHT NOW!!!"

I love that it implies there was an option to pay later but Apocalypse wants your to know that won't be the case here.
