Apocalypse is an example of a brilliant concept that's been too overplayed recently. People would take him much more seriously as a threat if he only showed up, brought the heroes to the absolute brink of defeat, and then was defeated and that was it. Using him again and again, it diminishes the threat and seriousness he represents.
I concur, really over rated, same ol, same ol stuff. Survival of the fittest, then what?????
The guys seems to always lose people working for him: Hulk, Wolverine, Archangel, Caban, Sinister, Tyler, Stryfe etc.
The only thing I like about this guy is his suit and it stops there.

😆 lol1 great sig...
I really don't get the dracula vs apocalypse comic. I mean apocalypse should be able to make any part of his body shapeshift into wooden stacks or spikes. He should also be able to shapeshift his hands into UV-ray guns(given he's shaped it into ray guns, flame-throwers, mechanical saws, etc.). So how exactly is Dracula suppose to be any form of challenge to him?

ive always been curious about one aspect of apocalypse. just what is the function of the cables in his arms, what would happen if someone cut them or tore them out, and why hasnt anyone tried to before?
PS Apoc rules, and I'm glad they're bringing him back.

So how exactly is Dracula suppose to be any form of challenge to him?In the appearances he made in the first 50 x-factor, he seems to shape-shift primarily his arms, I think they may've been intended by the writer to aid him with shape shifting early on.

Interesting, never thought about those things before. I love him too, thrilled about the return, about damn time! 😄 . But the comics probly gonna end u know with apoc like "killing" him but Drac never gets totally killed, so it will really be sort of a draw probly. 🙄
Hmm is all of this series set in the past? (Cus Drac's made a couple of appearances, so he musta survived.)
Oh and thx paola 😛

Yep he goes on about survival of the fittest, then he goes and hides behind his horsemen for a while. His biggest threat is a bald guy in a wheelchair. I mean come on Apocalypse!!! He gets beaten by the X-men so he is excluded from his own theries.............? his existence contradicts his theory of survival of the fittest....................

no way dude, hes lazy. hes really really lazy in the animated series. i laugh everytime i watch the last episode of "beyond good and evil."i will list off instances in that episode alone where he was freakin lazy.1) he is holding magneto in his grip and magneto is helpless, he turns to death, and says "strike him down my horseman." he could have easily killed magneto himself.
2) after fighting magneto and mystique, he is lauched into the axis. the horsemen go and retrieve him eventhough he has shown capabilities in previous episodes to be able to fly.
3) after the horsemen return him, apoc is like 30 feet tall. he begins yelling at magneto, then turns to mr sinister and says "sinister, destroy them." sisnister then tells vertigo to do it for him.
4) he makes a big deal about being the master of time but has his horse men take the time orb to the spot apoc needs it.
5) when biship frees the phychics, thus ruining apocs plans, apoc flies down to get in biships face. after yelling at him, he sends his horsemen after biship. apoc was only like 5 feet away.
6) finally, when cable destroys the fortress in the axis, he sends his horsemen after cable, magneto, and wolverine. while they go after them, apoc just stands there until magneto goes after apoc.
does anyone else out there notice how lazy he really is?
HA HAHAHAA AHHH HAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! WORD!!!!!!!!!!
And you know what else? When the horsemen lift him back up, they are carrying him in such a way that he looks like he is in a freaking lazy-boy!!!
So I think that the writers were commenting on how freakin poweful he is.
