He's always depowered though, there's hardly ever a time when he's at full strength. He didn't really beat them 😬 His body started to fall apart when the X-Men came after him and he ended up running for the door. Plus Milligan and Larocca were the creative team. 😐 That's almost as bad as Austen and Quitely. I think the idea behind the whole BoA storyline was to finally cure Apocalypse of his jobbing syndrome. It looks like whenever he comes back he'll either be more powerful then ever or finally dead.

They messed up his technology and then the entire place fell apart after Pulse removed Apocalypse's powers or something.

I don't get the point of the whole BOA storyline though, barely any mutants got their powers back, he sort of jobbed again. Is he just there to further Gambit and Polaris' character development?

Milligan wrote it...I wasn't expecting much. I remember him blasting Sentinels and I also remember him doing okay against the X-Men...but they did get there shots in. It still wasn't as one-sided as Sinisters confrontations with the X-Men. Also remember in both recent confrontations with the X-Men his Horsemen did a lot of the work. When Pulse depowered him his tube thing fell apart and he ran for it. Well the BoA storyline wasn't meant to repower mutants. Apocalypse was going to even the playing field. He was going to exterminate 99% of humans so the "Survival of the fittest" experiment between mutants and humans would be a fair one.

Yeah, but when he didn't get to finish, it was just a waste of comics really.

True, it was only 5 issues with 5 mini-stories. It wasn't really going anywhere. Only Marvel knows what they were thinking. It did get rid of Gambit though. That's worth it IMO. Now if Bishop is the X-Man to die in the MC then I'd be over the moon.

That's the only time he has taken on two full teams of X-Men(X-Factor and Storms team) that I can recall and he pwned them all. He punked Nate Grey and X-Force in X-Mans own comic...and just recently pwned Iceman and Cannonball. And if you read the Messiah Complex Solicits Sinister rapes the UXM team again. Plus it looks like he's going to have something to do with Evil Xavier.(See my Avatar). Then he's also taken out a team of X-Men with one blast in X-Men Creators Choice:

That's cool...

But Apocalypse has been basically one-shotting the X-Men in every of their encounter. Recently, I also think they needed Pulse to actually gain an upper hand against him...

Where is that scan from btw?

The X-Men were getting a few shots in at Apocalypse recently(Rogue knocked him over as did Havok IRRC) and he had his Horsemen there to protect him aswell. 😬 He's very rarely ever done justice given his powerset.
X-Men Creators Choice #1, Jubilee saves the day 😛

Which is why I demand that What If issues count for Apocalypse. ninjafist

There's a Havok one as well. 😛 And then I think there's another where Death steps in.

Wolverine would be God then. 😛 Anyway enough Off "Topicness" already might as well get back on topic before we get yelled at.

If I had it my way, high meta would be a lot more strict, and mid meta would be a lot more full.

I still have no idea why Venom's in low meta... in his early days, before a power up or two, he was chucking vans across the space of an island (iirc) with only one hand. He's extremely durable, and the symbiote's tendrils allow for some versatality, along with cloaking and what not.

Mr. Fantastic should certainly not be in high meta...

So overall his record with the X-Men is better then Apocalypse because he engineers his own demise eg Cyclops and his Optic Blasts apparently killing him. And most importantly his most recent appearance is far more impressive then Apocalypses most recent appearance. It doesn't mean that Apocalypse is weaker, it just means that Writers tend to handle Sinister better.

Also when you think about it. Sinisters Marauders are far more successful when it comes to actually killing people then Apocalypses Horsemen. Sinister is what Apocalypse should be.
Oh and Sinisters Marauders got rid of Vargas(One of Claremonts abominations)...that puts him higher up in my book then Apocalypse. 😛

As for the rest:

I'm actually against moving Johnny down 😬 I think he's Nova blast makes him a good contender for High Meta.

I'm going to opt out from the Thing and Mr. Fantastic vote...if skill and abilities are taken into account it makes everything so iffy.

That's what I've been saying for some time now. Co-signed.

When he starts going up against Heralds level people like the Eternals or the High Evolutionary, yes....

Continued.

Here as well. An Apocalypse Blast vs A Havok Blast. Blasts connect with each other. But Havoks goes on to do damage to Apocalypses Blood tubes...while Apocalypses blast doesn't do anything.(Looks like Havoks blast actually overpowered Apocalypses Blast)

Only because he tried to break his contract with the Celestials, he was afraid of facing up to the Celestials part of the deal. To bad it didn't work.

He only survived due to the Celestials.

Or Havok's blast just hit the tubes that they were standing horribly close to while shooting at each other...

Look at the first scan. Both blasts connect. Only Havoks Blast is shown to do any damage after the collision. Apocalypses blast is no where to be seen. Like I said BoA was pretty shit...

Apocalypse seemed awfully lazy, fat, and bored in BOA....
