Tut destroys Nur’s tribe and the grey skinned warrior swears revenge.
Tut or Kang or (ARRGGHH CONFUSING!) knows what En Sabah Nur is destined to become, a world crushing despot named Apocalypse, so Tut goes to war with the Sandstormers. Now, the really big and awesome nerds in the audience will know that Rama Tut is really time traveler and Avengers villain Kang (think if you crossed Doctor Who with Hitler). He was cast out by his village because humanity sucks and rescued by beings called the Sandstormers.Īt this point Rama Tut arrives. No, he was not born eating a blue ice pop he was the first mutant the Earth had seen.

In 1996’s Rise of Apocalypsemini-series by writer Terry Kavanagh and artist Adam Polina, the origin of En Sabah Nur is revealed. En Sabah Nur was born with grey skin and blue lips. Before we get into the villain’s next contemporary appearance, let’s talk origin. Okay, so the Alliance of Evil got their collective ass kicked by X-Factor, but Apocalypse was still a big deal. I don’t think we would be as excited right now if we were getting ready for the release of Fox’s X-Men: Owl, do you? Didn’t think so. The Owl went on to become a rather important Daredevil and Spider-Man villain, but he worked better as a street level threat. Most of all, Apocalypse felt important and after his debut, he took his place at the top of the X-Men rogues’ gallery. It was clear from the first moment Apocalypse appeared, that this villain was special. The original Apocalypse design was created by Walt Simonson and was adapted by Guice for the villain’s debut in X-Factor#6. Along with Jackson “Butch” Guice, Simonson unveiled Apocalypse, an imposing and ancient mutant that was the very template of an arch villain. Layton took his Owl and went home but writer Louise Simonson took over and was ready to release an ancient evil on X-Factor and the world. Editor-in-chief Bob Harras stepped in and told Layton to create a new arch villain, a villain that follows in the tradition of Doctor Doom and Magneto, Kang and Ultron. Maybe if Layton had his way, the Owl would have become an elite evil in the MU, but the writer never got the chance. No disrespect to Layton, he truly is one of the most important creators of the ’70s to the ’90s, but the Owl wasn’t exactly A list material. Well, that could have been anti-climactic, huh?
