"X-Men: Apocalypse" Updates



Take another look @ the first page from writer/director Bryan Singer's new treatment of "X-Men: Apocalypse", a continuation of the 'mutant' events depicted in the Fox feature "X-Men: Days Of Future Past", that has earned worldwide box office earnings of $741,354,463 to date:


'Apocalypse' is an ancient mutant appearing in Marvel Comics, debuting in "X-Factor" #5 (May 1986).



The character was created by writer Louise Simonson and "Thor" illustrator Walt Simonson.


'Apocalypse' has appeared in several "X-Men" comic books including spin-offs, limited series, Marvel merchandise, animated television series, toys, trading cards and games.


Apocalypse was born 5000 years ago in 'Akkaba', appearing throughout history, encouraging civilizations to worship him as a god from several ancient mythologies and testing their strength by manipulating them into fighting wars of conquest, claiming to have brought "growth, judgment, and destruction."


At some point, Apocalypse discovers advanced alien technology, which he uses to transform and enhance himself, entering states of suspended animation, while he waits for mutants to become more common.
