Just finished watching XMA and I don't think Apocalypse is really that strong. I mean, he is powerful, just not as powerful as I thought. I actually think Magneto is the biggest threat in team X-men.
Anyway, it's still a mismatch with IM, Warmachine and Cap. Replace at least 2 of them with Vision and Wanda and we get a better fight.

Not really when he can resist her tp per his helmet, and drill her necklace into her skull
Both Iron and War Machine had sonic weapons in Civil War. There might be a chance their sonic weapons can bypass Magneto's shield and knock him out.
Apocalypse is pretty durable but he got cut by Mystique. When his armor was removed, Magneto was able to fillet him. This brings up the question of where Apocalypse's power lies. In the first part of the movie it seemed to convey that his armor was important part of the ritual hence why his priestess used mustered the strength to put the armor on his body before the we're fully entombed. This brings up the question of where Hulk and Thor can remove his armor if that is indeed a signifant source of Apocalypse's powers.
Apocalypse's team takes it. If you repalced Captain America and War Machine with Wanda and Vision, this becomes much more interesting fight.
Iron can solo Psylocke, Storm, and Angel if he's serious. Smart missiles and better reflexes should allow him to knock them all out. Those horsemen durability is below Cap. Even Magneto would get killed if it were not for that shield.
