I agree, but we as comic book readers should not succumb to poor writing. Also, what instances exemplify Apocalypse losing to less powerful characters?
I will get the source or scan showing Apocalypse's transmutation powers.
Generally speaking, I would contend that Apocalypse is a "victim to bad writing" because he is an "evil character." Good always triumphs over evil. As a matter of fact, I don't know of any stories in which evil triumps over good.

Are you sure? Wasn't it based on the cartoon...
Also, marvel wikia says it takes place in Earth-92131.

They were torturing Magneto at the end of AOA. Remember? How would you perform after being tortured?
I loved seeing Magneto own Apocalypse in HOM. Apocalypse boasted about how he the advantage due to the fact that no metal was around them, but Magneto proved otherwise.

Let's see Magneto "own" Apocalypse in a story arc that does not have Magneto as a main or central character.

That does not mean that Magneto can't overpower Apocalypse's own molecular control over Apocalypse's body. After all, the electromagnetic force, being one of the four fundamental forces in the Universe. is the force that binds all matter together. But that is not the point. The point is that Apocalypse could transmute Magneto. Furthermore, Apocalypse's Celestial Technology enhanced body might have properties that Magneto can't maniuplate or control or affect because it MIGHT be magical, or something that can't be affected by diamagnetism or electromagnetism, in nature. The problem is, Magneto has the faster reaction time. So, if blood lusted, Magneto would probably defeat Apocalypse. I don't know how fast Apocalypse's reaction time is. They never fought in 616. One of these days, they better fight.
