Cypher will win 🏆. You mentioned why you didn't know why he was there, while his power of understanding languages has technically evolved over the years to more of a power to interpret things around him. He's grown from human languages to computer/alien languages, he even learned how to fight in X of Swords through muscle movements aka nonverbal communication. He also read the room of the quiet council and figured out Magneto and Xavier's secret before anyone else. If he keeps evolving, he can possibly read global patterns and predict/plan for mutant responses ahead of any event. Keeping mutantdom on a path of higher evolution and survival. That's why he is my pick....👍🏾
What about Rasputin as an heir? I feel like she'd be the best option, as she's basically here to not allow Sinister to win with anything... + her powerset is pretty insane.
Keep carrying the torch! This Wednesday hits different but we gotta get to these comics we all love. Damn wish Benny would be able to still give us his thoughts
@@SuiteVII i don’t think they would ever do that. Wanda was a weird case but storm has been a X-men since the second team. They might expand her godhood or something but she will always be known as a mutant
10:26 not necessarily because once you become Apocalypse Heir you get a upgrade/power boost due to his celestial technology of being Apocalypse so any one of them can get to be Apocalypse level strong
With the right writers, I wouldn't mind seeing Exodus take a good lead role. Second pick would be Gorgon, then Laura. Cabel would be interesting but it would have to be a convoluted explanation as to why and it would be short lived. Archangel already took his place once, and originally that is what Apocalypse wanted. It would make sense for him to be the successor but this time voluntarily, that would be interesting.
I feel like they should have gone with Rasputin IV as the heir to Apocalypse. She could make a great X-Men villain and has a very diverse list of powers that would make her formidable.
I want the heir to be Rictor or Gorgon. I’m surprised he picked Emma to be an heir and even more shocked that she agreed. Forge could do well but I wonder how he’d handle the beliefs of Revelation. Exodus doesn’t even agree so much with Revelations’s ideology. He is constantly looking for a messiah someone to guide him. He may have the power but his stance doesn’t match.
My $ is on Exodus…2nd would be Synch…he technically been in the future lol! And has evolved passed his limits. Also really don’t matter who wins tho…or their weak power set….one would imagine he’d use an Apocalypse seed or mutate and upgrade them. That said… love the awesome vids..thanx!🤘🏼
uncanny x-force was one of the first x-books i read start to finish so seeing genocide return is very nice (and also makes sense for an event called HEIR to APOCALYPSE)
cypher maybe has a special connection still with krakoa which I think is a factor that can lead him to win, we do know he does merge with krakoa in one of the moira timelines and you could say his bond with warlock is kinda like apocalypse having celestial tech. there's also possibility apocalypse will have his heir inherit part of his powers and that could be a notable boost to cypher whilst the likes exodus, sinister, emma, cable, etc. would be too broken.
If all the mutant abilities that have not been developed Cyphers & Forges is the least expanded. But my bet is Cypher mainly because Apocalypse will be changing him via Celestial technology and his ability to communicate to anyone could easily be expanded to anything. Words have Power, and Power is something Apocalypse respects.
I think its going to b Forge, because his Omega lvl potential is teased to be unlokced in the upsoming X-Force series. This would explain how it becomes possible for him to create anything. I was hoping that Synch would be a contestant. The obvious choice would b Rictor, but he probly changes his views later on in the series.
I'm fairly certain that Emma, Forge, and Laura will lose the tournament, since each of them will be in one of the new X-Books in From the Ashes. Emma in Exceptional X-Men, Laura in NYX, and Forge in X-Force
I like all the nostalgia, i hope it ends up being a good story. I have the series getting pulled. My want is Exodus, but because that's too obvious i will go with cable.
Been waiting for them to bring Holocaust back. Anyway, to Apocalypse fans what do you make of Apocalypse getting completely embarrassed by Magneto? Should that even happen? And why didn't he make a reappearance to defeat Nimrod, when he went down to Nimrod so easily in the Hickman run? Is Apocalypse underestimated, overestimated, not written well, or what ? I think they are treating him a bit carelessly at times. It's as if there's no shared vision about who he is, within Marvel.
I would like to see all of Apocalypse’s children’s in this story including Evan Sabahnur. I think he’s the best candidate for a just hair to Apocalypse.
I’m so done with Sinister. After all he’s done he should’ve been exiled at best. While her power set doesn’t come close to any of the other candidates, I’m rooting for Wolverine anyways.
Im leaning toward Forge because he becomes Omega level and this could be why. All the contestants have different aspects of Apocalypse i think. Rictor= Magic,Cable=Knowledge, Emma=Protector,Sinister=Schemes,Laura=Wrath etc.
@@pacman_2531 no he can't and I'm not going to bother. Forge isn't and never will be an OMEGA level mutant! . There's already too many Omega-level mutants
@@Marx1684 if Apocalypse is written with justice and at best with all his powers, then Apocalypse has all the power sets of Uranos including Celestial technology and even more.
I'm going to guess Gorgon, he's a fringe character that a writers have free reign to do whatever they want with and they just brought him back specifically for this event.
I forgot Jonathan starmore is a descendant of apocalypse bloodline and he very powerful Surprised apocalypse didn. T try to recruit chamber in his contests?
We know X-23 and Emma are in other series, so we know they aren't gonna win. I see this as time to elevate an unused character or give Sinister an out because he has NO ONE in his corner.
3:02 That is such bs. I was waiting for the new reveal of Gorgon with a new outlook & spin on the character. I’ll take it but it seems lazy. This are is gorgeous though.
Wait Genocide i pretty sure his name was Holocaust was it not? I mean i guess they changed it last time i saw him was in the Exiles. So its been a while.
I would like to see Rictor get it, he's had a pretty crazy upgrade and it just works for me. I don't see Forge getting anywhere near it, nor Cypher, or Dani. Sinister is already overpowered, Cable would be a great choice if it meant he could be free of the techno-organic virus which would be fitting considering Apocalypse infected him with it in the first place. Yeah, I'm pulling for Cable.
I'm confused as to why Emma, Laura, Forge, M or Exodus would care about this. Cypher seems like a shoe horn. Not sure why Cable isn't trying to stop this.
I though Apocalpse heir would be cable But due to cable statement towards Emma frost he seems he want to stop this contest Two people who would be apocalypse heir would be Cypher and Rictor Cypher had a close connection with the tree Krakoa Apocalypse can use that link Rictor was Apocalypse student the only mutant who would give Apocalpse attention During the Krakoa arc
Apocalypse is looking for someone else to test mutant kind since he is taking a break by the writers. Which makes sense with all the focus he got. Although I kinda miss him being semi good.
No disrespect fo you, but my response had been delayed cuz I'm in shock from the passing of Benny from Comicstorian. Rip to one of the best to ever do it
As much as I feel Laura's actually kind of perfect for this, she's gonna be in that NYX comic, so I doubt she'll become the heir to Apocalypse and then figure out a Post-Krakoa life in New York... Not gonna lie, I think Cypher actually has a shot. His powerset seems like the antithesis of Apocalypse, but his language reading abilities include body language. You can't lie to him, and he can read your attacks before they are made. If he wins and gets a power boost from Apocalypse, he could be crazy.
Man I could say alot but I wanna enjoy this for the laughs alone so I want point of issues. But for a split second every Mutant was on the same page. They all wanted to kill Sinister there. That being said, PLZ LET IT BE SINISTER I NEED THE LAUGHS FOR 3 MORE ISSUES. Also Apocalypse: I need an Hier *teleported mutants* Alright one of u will be my Hier because mutants sucks right now. Genocide:IM LITERALLY RIGHT HERE!! yea I'm not taking this seriously I want all the laughs and irony debates with this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a Nature Girl in her previous nickname, she was a nature activist that did many bad things thinking she does good, and then sorta went insane and accepted destructive capabilities of her powers if I'm not wrong
Storm is joining the Avengers plus having her own book and adventures. As for Nature/Armageddon girl, the writer just wanted use her after being absent once "X-men Green"
Holocaust was AMAZING in AoA.....sorry, I meant Genocide. My money, judging by the known covers of upcoming comics, and seeing who are 2nd or 3rd rate characters here, I'm betting on Cable, for the twist, or someone yet introduced.
You should have broke down the Kendrick vs drake beef bro the world is big there is more than one o🎉dananc. Believe in your self don't be a slave to one way
I want Benny back here with us😢
Do you know if it was self inflicted ?
R.I.P Benny
I hear ya buddy.
Yeah me too.... We as viewers definitely gotta let these guys know they mean alot to us comic junkies
Rest in power battle buddy I will forever miss u.

Glad to see an “Age of Apocalypse” character return.
@Comic Breakdown
This one is for Benny!
The best there was..
I hope X-Man (Nate Grey) finally returns and comes back, if anyone has a history with Apocalypse, it’d be him from the Age of Apocalypse storyline.
No, he won't. He is currently in his own pocket dimension he created in Age of X-man and is content to stay there
What about Rasputin as an heir? I feel like she'd be the best option, as she's basically here to not allow Sinister to win with anything... + her powerset is pretty insane.
Keep carrying the torch! This Wednesday hits different but we gotta get to these comics we all love. Damn wish Benny would be able to still give us his thoughts
Same!
Keep on le bon boulot!
Benny lives on❣️❤
I sort of like the idea of Cable because "if stare into the abyss long enough....." also you'd never suspect him
Could be interesting.
I’m Suprised storm isn’t a contestant. He really respected her
Probably because he respects her doing her own thing with her own strength
@@crispri3919yeah she’s already enough 😭😭😭
She's joining the avengers and doing more important things, it's likely she may become host of eternity again with more bigger threats on there way
@@Alex-jd2yxI hope she isnt an Avenger for long, they’d have to retcon her so she isn’t a mutant anymore like Wanda 😅
@@SuiteVII i don’t think they would ever do that. Wanda was a weird case but storm has been a X-men since the second team. They might expand her godhood or something but she will always be known as a mutant
Enjoyed reading this! Would crack me up if it’s cable.
Thank you for your service.
Im going with Gorgon. The description you give of him here sounds like he and Apoc can relate atm.
I forgot Holocaust got a name change...🔥
I never new he did last time i saw him it was in the Exiles story.
Thank you for cranking out these stories with what’s going on right now. It’s exactly what we all need right now.

10:49 Cipher caught shade. My man just showed up to do his job. Cut him some slack. 😅
Warren Worthington the 3rd Angel/Archangel will always b Apocalypse's best Horseman/most powerful Death. WWthe3rd is my fav low-key Marvel character.

Monet St Croix/Penance would make a PERFECT heir to Apocalypse 🙌🏾 She got the right attitude too
If all the mutant abilities that have not been developed Cyphers & Forges is the least expanded. But my bet is Cypher mainly because Apocalypse will be changing him via Celestial technology and his ability to communicate to anyone could easily be expanded to anything.
Words have Power, and Power is something Apocalypse respects.
Amazing. Anything Apocalypse or Xmen, im so down. It's such a good universe of characters.
I am cheering on Exodus myself in this fight..he is first among the worthy.
The penance shade omg😭

It's sinister it has to be. Nobody embodies the evolution aspect of apocalypse more than sinister
Let's just hope that writer remembers that Sinister actually has a bunch of powers this time around.
I like all the nostalgia, i hope it ends up being a good story. I have the series getting pulled. My want is Exodus, but because that's too obvious i will go with cable.
I think Apcocalypse chose Cypher because of X of Swords and his connection to Krakoa. I think he will respect his mind and resolve.
I see an apocalypse vid I give it a like. Haven’t watched it yet but gorgon is underrated as a character, hope he wins.
I honestly forgot that this book was coming good. This is and one other is the only comic I want to keep up with this era.
1st issue so far didn't grab me ,will see where it goes though . Can't really imagine any of them being a proper heir to Apocalypse .

Wow, I had no idea that this was even out. When do the new titles come out?
I miss Krakoa, bring Krakoa back!!!
Wasn't Gorgon part of Hydra or something?
One of the heads of Hydra.
X-men is one of the best works ever created!
Cypher is a weird pick to be in this competition: I have a funny feeling it will be him
Great start ❤
Im leaning toward Forge because he becomes Omega level and this could be why. All the contestants have different aspects of Apocalypse i think. Rictor= Magic,Cable=Knowledge, Emma=Protector,Sinister=Schemes,Laura=Wrath etc.
No, he won't. He's just an inventor at the end of the day, and he is playing a starring role in the upcoming X-Force relaunch by Geoffrey Thorne
@@MatthewLoh-ru1mw And it states he becomes Omega level look it up of you don't believe it.
@@pacman_2531 no he can't and I'm not going to bother. Forge isn't and never will be an OMEGA level mutant! . There's already too many Omega-level mutants
@@MatthewLoh-ru1mw Ok whatever you say. You'll eventually see so no point in trying to convince you. Also there are 20 maybe less Omega level on Earth

Apocalypse:…Who are you?
Apocalypse: I am going to pick a Heir!
Genocide: What about me?!
Apocalypse: I don't even know who you are.
Genocide: You will.
Honestly I hope the heir of Apocalypse is either Cypher or Exodus
The true heir is the upcoming new challenger to the contest the true mvp - Beak
My guy Apocalypse. I love his style. I need to see Apocalypse go against Thanos.
Or Uranos
@@gluteusMAXlMUS Uranos was spanking Omegas with ease. I think he’d be outclassed. Even a mentally sound Legion caught that work in under 5 minutes. 😆
@@Marx1684 if Apocalypse is written with justice and at best with all his powers, then Apocalypse has all the power sets of Uranos including Celestial technology and even more.
@gluteusMAXlMUS that's correct.
The death seed has the potential to make the Apocalypse as powerful as a Phoenix host.
I'm going to guess Gorgon, he's a fringe character that a writers have free reign to do whatever they want with and they just brought him back specifically for this event.
Rest in peace Ben ❤
I forgot Jonathan starmore is a descendant of apocalypse bloodline and he very powerful
Surprised apocalypse didn. T try to recruit chamber in his contests?
Dark Angel was a perfect heir. Exodus is also a good choice. (X-Force)
We know X-23 and Emma are in other series, so we know they aren't gonna win. I see this as time to elevate an unused character or give Sinister an out because he has NO ONE in his corner.
I think we might see The return of Thane
3:02 That is such bs. I was waiting for the new reveal of Gorgon with a new outlook & spin on the character. I’ll take it but it seems lazy. This are is gorgeous though.
I’m Early!
I thought we were going back to "Monet" as a codename. Penance doesnt hit the same
Wonder if the resurrected Sugar Man? He cracked me up.
I find it ironic that apocalypse is looking for an heir despite literally having one running around somewhere
Wait Genocide i pretty sure his name was Holocaust was it not? I mean i guess they changed it last time i saw him was in the Exiles. So its been a while.
Ok 😊
The irony if it’s Cable I bet it ends up being Cable🧔🏽♂️👍🏽

My money are Rictor mutants power + magic, give him some celestial upgrade and we have new Apocalypse. Why Seline isn't here?

Good afternoon comic break down 😊😂

Saying at the start of the video, Exodus should easily win this if it's a battle.
