Apocalypse is one of the earliest known mutant hunians. I.eft to die, the infant was found by outlaw leader Baal. who named him “Kn Sabah Nur.” or “The First One.” Baal taught Nur his philosophy of the survival of the fittest and told him he was fated to be a conqucror. Nur traveled the world for thousands of years. instigating wars to test which nations were “fittest.” and was worshipped as a god by ancicnt civilisations. In the 20th century Nur. now called Apocalypse, decided that the emerging superhuman mutants were destined to supplant “iinfit” ordinary hunians. Hencc he often battled the original X-Factor and the X-Men, who were dcdicatcd to peaccful coexistence bctwcen mutants and other hunians. Though extraordinarily long-lived, Apocalypse's physical body eventually wore out. but he survivcs by projecting his consciousncss into host bodies. In an altcrnatc timeiine, the "Age of Apocalypse “Apocalypse conquered North America and enslaved humanity; he was killed by Magneto. PS
