Apoc's blood amps people. But Dracula and Chamber didn't get his powers.
Oh, and Dracula has sucked the blood of the Norse God Sif, and, well, got a hell of a lot stronger.

True. It only reminds me how dangerous can Apocalypse be.
Apocalypse wins. He could also win through telepathy.

You were saying? 🙂
So now...since I provided the scans for what I was supporting (Glad's speed - all curteousy of Lucid Lui in the Gladiator respect thread, awesome job by the way), I'm waiting for the scans that Apocalypse has ever done anything as complex as turning a part of his body into radiation.
I'd also like some explanation as to how he would KNOW about Glad's weakness to radiation, and how he would know exactly what KIND of radiation he's weak to.

That's a scan of Apoc not knowing if a dude is dead or turned into a vampire. Amazing senses he's got huh?

I actually googled "Frank Tieri Apocalypse sex". And you don't wanna know what kinda links I found 😂
Could you perhaps point me out in the direction?

Havoc was healed by it.

That last scan doesn't really prove anything.
Gladiator's supposed über combat speed isn't any more impressive than Apocalypse's fight with Ikarus. Apocalypse would find out from reading Gladiator's mind.

Apocalypse knows how to turn in to gamma radiation?
There's a difference between having the ability to do something, and knowing how.

Thanks for the link 👆 I'll see if it works later. It would prove he had sex at least once, since I was sure he'd never done it 😛
The vampires are turned by a virus in their blood. My point was Apoc couldn't tell if the person had the virus or not. I know they're already dead 😛
Yes, I know it has healing properties, my point being his blood can affect even people who aren't his man-seed descendants 😛

Dude, Gladiator can move faster than light...ok? Faster than light. Doesn't matter if he does it on panel that often or less often or if it's depicted badly in the art. For KMC forum fighting purposes, he does it in the first picosecond.
Also, Apoc would need some pretty badass TP to get that info from Glad's mind. Assuming he could enter his mind at all, he would need some time to locate the info. Gladiator's mind protects itself from info being dragged out of it (need a scan?)

It really doesn't. I started out liking X-men thanks to the cartoons (old ones from the 90s) and then with Evolution, I got into the x-men comics a bit later. Apoc was badass in the toons, in the comics he's little more than a chump, regardless of how cool he COULD be.

Now I'm sure you're not comparing Quicksilver's speed with Gladiator's are you mister Bad Ash? biscuits

Good point, been trying to get a scan from the dudes showing he's even capable, but you pose an even better question.

No need to patronize me, since I haven't been aggressive to you, now have I? 🙂
The bite that Apocalypse received transferred the "curse of vampirism" to him. The virus in itself was in his blood, not in some supernatural curse. That's why he kept moping about his destroyed rejuvenation chamber. How would his rejuvenation chamber help him defeat a supernatural curse? Makes more sense it was a physical virus he was affected with doesn't it? 🙂

It was never stated to be a virus, and Apocalypse was never "infected"; he stated that Dracula's bite had significantly drained him, weakening him, and putting him under Dracula's control.

You're asking if something makes sense in comic books?

If that's such viable option for Apoc why didn't he just turn himself into lead against Magneto so he couldn't be effected by him. Apoc is such a vast and capable/brilliant character, I'm sure he didn't need to try and read Mag's mind to figure that out did he?
Apoc is indeed a unique character in comics, he's not only one of the top three jobbers in comics history but, in the same breath he's one of the top three overrated characters too.
Glads sodomizes him throughout the cosmos.

I was just thinking you were patronizing me with the "this isn't the blade movies" comment, making it seem like I hadn't read the mini and was talking out of my @ss.

He was showing all the signs of a neophyte vampire. Also, you never replied why Apocalypse would need (or what good it would do) the rejuvenation chamber if this was a supernatural curse instead of a virus.

Ummm...yes. There are varying degrees of "making sense" in comics. For instance, it's one thing to say "It doesn't make sense that Superman can fly" and "It doesn't make sense that Ghost Rider could hurt Galactus when Galactus held his own against Mephisto in his own realm" (just made that GR thing up).
While the first one can go under the "This is a comic book" explanation, the second can't. Sense does exist in comic books, there's just different rules. Or are you saying nothing in comic books makes sense?

Nope, but the word "Your" was also in the sentence. Ergo, he was addressing Quicksilver. He didn't say the power of super speed is useless against him. 🙂

First off, that's AoA Apocalypse, not mainstream. Second of all, I would say it's because:
1. Fans tend to exaggerate Apocalypse's changing abilities.
2. CIS, or more importantly, arrogance. He's always been portrayed as an arrogant guy, who does have a lot of power, just not quite as much as he thinks. He underestimated Magneto IMO and that was his downfall. Also, IIRC Mags had his "my brain is off limits" helmet on when the fight happened didn't he?
I do agree with the rest of your post though 😂
