Hey everybody! Quick note: The title "The First One" is a specific reference to the translation of his name En Sabah Nur. Although Apocalypse IS one of the 1st mutants ever; Note that it is stated "possibly" the oldest, which has always been part of his legendary allure. Over time there's been much discussion over who is the VERY 1st mutant ever. Names thrown into the pool have been Selene (likely winner), Romulus and his sister Remus (both possibly born before modern mankind - despite Romulus' lies), and 1 or 2 others. But the bottom line is that Apocalypse is (in my opinion) the most influential, well-known, and powerful "ancient" mutant that counts. 😎 Have a good one! 👍
New Sage Actually, while I admit that I haven't followed his appearances religiously, I honestly don't think that Romulus is necessarily a mutant, simply because he doesn't claim a human background. Judging from some 9f his claims (salt bag at ready), he apparently claims to be of a lupine race, making him an offshoot of humanity. As for Logan, while I don't think that it's ever been officially raise, I suspect that Romulus actually could be Logan's father. Think about the ORIGINS miniseries, where Wolverine's actual birth name was revealed. It was strongly hinted that James Howlett's mother had an affair with Mr. Logan, the drunken, abusive handyman of the Howlett estate. Now... suppose that "Mr. Logan" was actually Romulus in disguise. It would explain how "Dog" Logan, James' half-brother, survived all those decades. All we ever knew about Mr. Logan was that he hid part of his face under his hat, yet still strongly resembled Wolverine's modern appearance. This would still mean that James Howlett was half-human through his mother, allowing him to technically be a mutant.
+David Scott - I, actually, like your thinking when considering that Romulus may not be considered a human. Pretty deep! One thing though is that his sister Remus later revealed that much of his "ancient lupines" story was a ruse to keep Wolverine busy while he, himself, was looking for adamantium. She admits that they ARE both very ancient though... prehistory type stuff, too! Who knows?! And I've entertained the same exact idea that he could be Wolvie's dad! But then I came across a storyline with clear, unobstructed interaction between Wolverine and his dad, Thomas Logan. What's messed up os that Wolverine had gone to hell, and met him there just chillin! 😅 He was a a bit of a jerk too! This might explain your very true point about "Dog." He's got some type of powers going on 🤔... and he's a jerk too! 😆
I think Selene the black queen is canonically believed to be the first mutant or at least one of the very first before Apocalypse. As she existed during the hyborian age of Conan the barbarian
I feel like apocalypse is 1 of those characters that could crossover to DC and be a really good wonder woman Villain. Kindve like i think if Dr. Doom faces the justice league he would there greatest threat.
Omg yes thank youuuu! Waited to see this video! Everybody tend to underestemate him so i am realy glad you did this. Can you do a video about captein atom next?
1:41 That happened in movie X-Men Apocalypse. Oscar Isaac in movie played a healing mutant and Apocalypse taking over the healing mutant's body so he can survive better with him before getting Professor X's. If possible, James McAvoy would have been Apocalypse himself after the transfer.
He actually returned now with his own mini-series where he seemingly received a substantial power up. Can not wait till he meets face to face with his clone Evan.
Gotta point out that En Sabah Nur was not Earth's first mutant. To be best of my knowledge, the oldest is Selene Gallio, psychic vampire, sorceress and scariest Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. She was born in the Hyborian Age, making her a contemporary of Conan & Red Sonja.
I enjoyed X-Men Apocalypse more than other X-Men movies, but I do like Apocalypse more in X-Men Legends, comics, and some cartoons. He was a mighty and fun character until Disney came along.
Thanos wouldn’t need any stones to beat Apocalypse..... Thanos simply has too many feats battling planet busting entities and beating them (without stones) for Apocalypse to really put up any type of a meaningful fight against the Titan. I personally think Apocalypse is a bad ass character, but there are levels to this ish & ‘The First One’ isn’t on his level.
wadewilson1973 She quite possibly could be. Her, Apocalypse and maybe Romulus are tied at being "who was the first?". Selene and Apocalypse are both older than 5,000 years old.
By far this one fav x-men villains. great work. I Have question for you? have hear Lady death or Evil Ernie there from Chaos! Comics. The there is dawn from sirius comics. just some ideas think about for videos.
A very intriguing character mr. Sage although there will never be a cinematic version of him done well in any capacity. I read these books and understood apocalypse as a character that's completely different from all other Marvel villains and very much exclusively a threat to the X-Men and X Factor New Mutants and the like. Not so much a character you would see The Avengers tackle. He's like homemade fashion tailored to fit mutant based books.
+1sttobylopez - True analysis, from a kindred "sage" of sorts! 😅 Let's not give up on the MCU yet, though! Maybe they'll do him justice once they get him and the X-Men back!
You should do a rating of Synch of Generation X, even though he died. He still went out like a fucking hero. Very original hero, with a very original power. Who could have become an Omega level mutant if left alive. The man could remote tap into others abilities, be it mutant or people like Spider-man. I want to say he once Synched with Silver Surfer at one time.
isn't Selene the black queen older than apcolyspe? Never got why he or others kept there powers when they change bodies when their powers are because of the dna in said bodies
64th haha....LATE but always in Grand Fashion..Apokolips easily the number 2 most dreaded Baddie after Thanos..and the worst in the Xmen Saga..incredibly ominous and OP his metamorphic powers and the ability to manipulate others powers and minds to create new powers and regenertive ability ..insane ..but there are quirks especially lips..kinda wonky looking design yet scary depending on rendition..(artist) Another cool video notch to the Sage utility belt of myriad characters..good show buddy
You sure about fantomex killing the kid? I thought the whole thing was that he used his misdirection to fool the other xmen into thinking he killed the kid and secretly spirited him away to let him live in the "world" that fantomex had. If I'm wrong thats really screwed up but I thought it was later revealed that the kid was ok so it cooled down the hatred between the x-force and fantomex when wolverine followed him into the world and found him playing with Evan.
Sage love your stuff, but you are wrong about APOCALYPSE rating. Should be 11 and no others should be equal or higher. No other hero or Villanova has had the impact on any universe than Apocalypse. And quite frankly the coolest character ever. It was awful shame the Marvell movie.

New Sage what storyline is that Romulus and his sister bit ? Thx
How about one on Selene next then? And then maybe the notable Hellfire Club members!
New Sage I'm glad you clarified, because Selene definitely came before him.
that Xmen movie was an insult of who Apocalypse is
Why?
elija klaus it made him look lame corny and soft in comparison.and weird...
yeah he really didn't seem that powerful
prayfawind Same. I fully agree. That was not Apocalypse in the X-Men movie.
prayfawind agreed
I'm a bodybuilder and I salute the detail in his quads at 0:37 seconds 💪👍.
tawon1984 Gay
Gaaayyyy. 😂
😂😂😂💪🏾
Literally agree
do you use steroids?
I think Selene the black queen is canonically believed to be the first mutant or at least one of the very first before Apocalypse. As she existed during the hyborian age of Conan the barbarian
He truly is legendary even though he had the power to take care of everything in one thought.
Dude you rock! Can you send this video to the Movie Industries so they can get a character and their traits right finally!
Easy Kujo I second that!👊
Easy Kujo i third that lol
Thanks! And I know, right?! I guess it depends on whatever director they pull outta the sky! LOL!
Agreed here too! LOL!
Do you have any characters you created yourself?
I'm so glad you did this video someone finally got Apocalypse right
One of the best comic book channels ever. The way you tell real names height weight is so insiteful. Great channel awesome !!!👍👍
APOCALYPSE. MY FAVORITE VILLIAN OF ALL TIME, WELL DESERVING OF A "10" RATING!! GREAT VIDEO SAGE!!👊👊👊👊
I knew good ol Apocalypse would be a freakin 10 i just knew it!!!!
I feel like apocalypse is 1 of those characters that could crossover to DC and be a really good wonder woman Villain. Kindve like i think if Dr. Doom faces the justice league he would there greatest threat.
+Sean Oconnor - True. DC's heroes would have their hands full with this dude! 😅
New Sage yeah, but I think it would make for a great story.
In my opinion better videos than comics explained. Very concise and understandable. Not rushed and overly commentated. Very good video.
Another cool villan name and accurate rating of 10!! One of my favorite bad guys!
+Rod A - Yeah...His name IS cool too! 😎 Especially when you throw in the Horsemen! Glad you liked this one AND the rating too! 😁
This guy is one of the greatest mutants alive. He beyond deserves the rating you have given him.
I knew he was going to be a 10 rating.
Omg yes thank youuuu!
Waited to see this video!
Everybody tend to underestemate him so i am realy glad you did this.
Can you do a video about captein atom next?
This Guy and Darkseid should somehow be in the same comic where it could be shown they somehow related
Thanks for not referencing the movie "Apocalypse."
+Dennis Washington - 😅 I was tempted, and was THIS close to doing that... Something, actually, stopped me though! 👍
Once you thought Apocalypse is the most powerful mutant,however,he needs to transfer his essence into another mutant in order to survive.
That’s just because his power is too great for a mortal body to endure, like M.Bison. That also means he’s practically unkillable
I always felt that he falls in the line between neutral evil to chaotic neutral.
+PlentyXP - So true. I have to agree with that analysis. 🤔👍
Apocalypse and darkseid.. very, very, deadly combination....
My favourite X Men villain! En Sabah Nur!
The one and only, baby!!!
You doing an amazing job New Sage. Love your content
+p - Thanks a lot, bro! I appreciate you!
I rate him a 10 too
I wanna see Apocalypse and Thanos (without the Infinity Gauntlet) beat the shit out of each other
LoneStarWolf Entertainment apocalypse would do nothing..
Thanos would beat his ass eventually, like he did Hulk and Thor
You are both right but it would be a very good fight
Hi New Sage!
PLEASE cover a story on Nubia aka Nu'Bia, the Black Wonder Woman.
Thanx for your work.
oshkoshdavis2012 that was a one time thing
RajOfColumbus no ot wasnt..she had other story arcs as well was in nee 52
This is a pretty good video like the other ones. You should do one on Shattered glass optimus prime a villain Unicron and Galvatron
This segment was tight lid.
1:41 That happened in movie X-Men Apocalypse. Oscar Isaac in movie played a healing mutant and Apocalypse taking over the healing mutant's body so he can survive better with him before getting Professor X's. If possible, James McAvoy would have been Apocalypse himself after the transfer.
Great content man 👍🏾
Great videos man! Can you do Rhino?
It's crazy how he sound so OP but he didn't dare to go against Onslaught since he knew he would lose.
Keep up the good work ..
+T'Challa Baracus - Thanks! I really appreciate your encouragement. Have a good one! 👍
Fully agree on the 10 rating. Great video!!
+Zulu Mike - Yeah... He's just too influential and powerful to NOT get a 10! 😅 He's been handling Marvel's greatest superhero teams for years!
Apocalypse is one of my favorite character if all time X-Men the movie had him all wrong
I never really read about apocalypse but from what I see at 0:36 he looks a lot more cool than he did in the movie..
Bad ass_but what's up with the kid apocalypse- better or worse?...
Apokalips lips tho
s1r 1sm4nc8 lol
And he's African..
*Dats rasis*
Apocalypse? Man he should've been called Tupacalypse.
LOL! Sounds about right, because he was straight gangsta! LOL!
New Sage Apocalypse - East Coast or West Coast? I'm thinking East.
all eyes on these worthless pitiful humans
XD LOL!
LOL! XD
Damn awesome rating of 10 Apocalypse is well deserving of it
+David Ramirez - Couldn't rate him less if I wanted to! He's a comics legend! 😎👍
He actually returned now with his own mini-series where he seemingly received a substantial power up. Can not wait till he meets face to face with his clone Evan.
Vahlen what’s the name of the serie?
Gotta point out that En Sabah Nur was not Earth's first mutant. To be best of my knowledge, the oldest is Selene Gallio, psychic vampire, sorceress and scariest Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. She was born in the Hyborian Age, making her a contemporary of Conan & Red Sonja.
+David Scott - True! But Apocalypse carries the name, literally! 😅 That's his story, and he's sticking to it! 😎
I AM APOCALYPSE! love that line
I enjoyed X-Men Apocalypse more than other X-Men movies, but I do like Apocalypse more in X-Men Legends, comics, and some cartoons. He was a mighty and fun character until Disney came along.
I always wanted to know who would win in a fight Apocalypse or Thanos . But if Thanos didn’t have the Stones and the gauntlet
Thanos wouldn’t need any stones to beat Apocalypse..... Thanos simply has too many feats battling planet busting entities and beating them (without stones) for Apocalypse to really put up any type of a meaningful fight against the Titan. I personally think Apocalypse is a bad ass character, but there are levels to this ish & ‘The First One’ isn’t on his level.
Thanos
One of my favorites!
He looks like could give darkseid a run for his money but darkseid is completely different level
I believe Selene is the oldest mutant!
wadewilson1973
She quite possibly could be.
Her, Apocalypse and maybe Romulus are tied at being "who was the first?".
Selene and Apocalypse are both older than 5,000 years old.
By far this one fav x-men villains. great work. I Have question for you? have hear Lady death or Evil Ernie there from Chaos! Comics. The there is dawn from sirius comics. just some ideas think about for videos.
My 2nd favorite X-Men Villain behind Juggernaut.
0:50 for a sec i thought you said "ain't shit mutant" lmaoooo
Can you do one on the new blue beetle? Please!
Another great video😂😁
I think it will eventually come out that Cable and Apocalypse are one. Past and future selves. Their powers are identical just on a diff scale.
death's head 2 was badass
Darkseid and Apocalypse are 2 of my favorites
+Javier Grant - Yep. 2 "heavy-hitters" from 2 separate comics universes! 😎
A very intriguing character mr. Sage although there will never be a cinematic version of him done well in any capacity. I read these books and understood apocalypse as a character that's completely different from all other Marvel villains and very much exclusively a threat to the X-Men and X Factor New Mutants and the like.

+1sttobylopez - True analysis, from a kindred "sage" of sorts! 😅 Let's not give up on the MCU yet, though! Maybe they'll do him justice once they get him and the X-Men back!
Also, last but not least jus one more request can u do a bio of Carnage
Apocalypse, Thanos, Dark side, and Galactus, who tf is stronger?
High evolutionary next
New Sage please a video on Marvel's Mr. Impossible
PLEASE do king thor!!!
You should do a rating of Synch of Generation X, even though he died. He still went out like a fucking hero. Very original hero, with a very original power. Who could have become an Omega level mutant if left alive. The man could remote tap into others abilities, be it mutant or people like Spider-man. I want to say he once Synched with Silver Surfer at one time.
+Ian-Devon Lewis - Good suggestion! The list has just gotten a lil bit longer! 😁👍
Yes a 10 is a fair rating
You forget to mention, he also can take the previous mutant ability that he taken to the new one
He said that
Do cable that would be a good 1
Dude do you plan to cover He-man too?
isn't Selene the black queen older than apcolyspe?
Never got why he or others kept there powers when they change bodies when their powers are because of the dna in said bodies
Because they transform the host's DNA. Like a virus
3:36 Deadpool as a horseman?
64th haha....LATE but always in Grand Fashion..Apokolips easily the number 2 most dreaded Baddie after Thanos..and the worst in the Xmen Saga..incredibly ominous and OP his metamorphic powers and the ability to manipulate others powers and minds to create new powers and regenertive ability ..insane ..but there are quirks especially lips..kinda wonky looking design yet scary depending on rendition..(artist) Another cool video notch to the Sage utility belt of myriad characters..good show buddy
+neosrt10 - Better late than never, bro! And another great analysis from "The One"... Neo! With the authority and POWER of an SRT! 😎👍
You're telling me he has 4 degrees..... like the 4 horse man.
could you do the one above all plzz
Do cable next
Hey have you thought of doing any valiant characters that would be really cool
Yeah. I've considered it. Have plans to get into some other brands in the future! Just a matter of time!
how about a video on The Reddeemer from Image
+Juan De los Muertos - Good suggestion! Just added another one to the list! It may be awhile, but tue video will come around! 👍
You sure about fantomex killing the kid? I thought the whole thing was that he used his misdirection to fool the other xmen into thinking he killed the kid and secretly spirited him away to let him live in the "world" that fantomex had. If I'm wrong thats really screwed up but I thought it was later revealed that the kid was ok so it cooled down the hatred between the x-force and fantomex when wolverine followed him into the world and found him playing with Evan.
Apocalypse is badass.
Woe woe so a Piece of him or son or whatever lol is redeemed thats cool.see thats why i apprieciate your work wow. They should call him Antipollo.lol
Can you do Spawn? please
Wouldn't it be awesome as fuck that Apocalypse and Darkseid we're to go at it,wow EPIC
Can you do a video about X-Man Nathan Grey please? That would be great. Thank you.
+theprinceir7 - Yeah. He's already on the "to do" list! His video will be coming around! 👍
that's amazing
3rd 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Pulling up 3rd strong, bro! You'd still get a medal!
Dracula is a mutant!?!?!😦
Those stripes on his head are HAIR?
In The MCU, I see him as Being The Big Bad like Thanos (Well they could build him up like they did with Thanos in the MCU):.
Michael clarke dunkin would have been the perfect actor tk play this role
Apocalypse kinda looks like Darkseid but as a technopathic cyborg.
Apocalypse vs black bolt ?
I have a question... Does fox own the rights to apocalypse and galactus? I hope not!! Where do you really go after THANOS?
Michael Lasure
I know Fox owns Galactus (for now) but I'm unsure about Apocalypse.
As Professor Farnsworth would say "Oh yes!"
+Marcus Greene - Farnsworth! 😲 That's that dude! 😎
What if Thanos,Darksied,Apocalypse vs Superman who win
Is he not the son of mr fantastic?
Sage love your stuff, but you are wrong about APOCALYPSE rating. Should be 11 and no others should be equal or higher. No other hero or Villanova has had the impact on any universe than Apocalypse. And quite frankly the coolest character ever. It was awful shame the Marvell movie.
A lot of people confuse him with Darkseid.
Play Count Nafferia
my favorite villain by far but i kno he isnt close to being the most powerful!!!
Omfg thanks so much apocalypse is bae
Isn't selin or how ever her name is spelled older than
She's speculated to possibly be. Apocalypse still carries the moniker "The First One" though. 😎
Sounds like the ultimate mutant.
