Apocalypse

**Evan Sabahnur** is a clone of Apocalypse, the original Mutant.

## Biography

### Origin

Egypt began reconstruction efforts in Cairo in the wake of the conflict that left the city devastated. During Cairo's restoration, fragments of advanced metallic armor were discovered by construction workers amid the rubble. The Essex Corporation acquired the fragments while investigating the aftermath, and found the last surviving strands of DNA from the Mutant responsible for the Battle of Cairo, Apocalypse. In the midst of this finding, Essex began experimenting with this DNA, and would continue to do so for decades, going so far as to replicate it. After multiple failed attempts, Essex succeeded in creating a clone of Apocalypse.

### Childhood

The clone was named Evan Sabahnur after his genetic progenitor. Unlike clones of other Mutants produced by the Essex subsidiary Alkali-Transigen, Evan was given more of a real childhood. Early on he received an advanced education, specifically in the fields of science and technology. At the age of eleven his powers began to manifest. Essex molded Evan into the ultimate weapon, the ultimate test of nature versus nurture.

## Biography

### **Origins**

Thousands of years ago, a child was born in ancient Egypt. This child was born with deformed skin that left his skin grey in appearance. His parents saw him as a burden and left him to die in the dessert. His cries for help would be answered when the leader of a tribe of warriors named Baal arrived and took the child in and his own, and named him **En Sabuh Nur**.

Growing up Nur was trained by Baal to be one of the tribes fiercest warriors, but Baal also taught Nur the ideology of the tribe. He taught Nur that the tribes core belief was that the strongest should rule and that the weak deserved to perish, a lesson that would guide Nur for years to come. But Nur's skills and potential were not just seen by Baal, as the Pharaoh Rama-Tut (Secretly a future incarnation of Kang the Conqueror), sought to bring the boy into his army and mold him into one of his fiercest warriors. Tut's men lead a siege of Nur's village and killed most of his people including Baal. With nothing but fury and revenge in his heart, Nur killed dozens of soldiers before being wounded enough to being forced to retreat (One of those injury's to a significant extent was a blow to the jaw which left it broken).

For weeks Nur plotted his revenge against the Pharaoh while hiding out in the dessert, gathering weapons and tools from the remnants of his tribe. One day while Nur was traveling the dessert he found himself deprived of water and was growing ever so thirsty. It was on that day that in the dessert Nur saw what looked like a mirage several hundred meters away. Nur traveled to the source of the mirage and discovered an old metallic hatch, upon which after opening Nur discovered the inner workings of a fragment of a Celestial ship that crash landed on Earth millions of years ago during the age of the Eternals.

### **Becoming a God**

Nur then proceeded to enter the craft, travelling deeper and deeper into its infrastructure. After an hour of rummaging through the ship fragment for food and water, Nur discovered a chamber containing technology used in the creation of Eternals from Pre-Humans. Because the ship had been burred in the sands for millennial, most of the technology had lied dormant along with the samples of Eternal blood taken from test subjects. In this chamber Nur discovered a pool of what he assumed was water and proceeded to drink from it. This act activated the sensors of the ship and began to activate the technology inside, including the prime device used in making Eternals. This device released a warm form of energy which seemed to make Nur become stronger, and Nur walked closer to it until he made physical contact. When he touched it, his own DNA was being altered and converted into Eternal DNA. Not only that but because the ship was damaged, the system errors caused all the Eternal DNA samples taken from various test subjects to be transferred to Nur, giving him their powers in addition to his own. After the process was complete Nur became the first new Eternal born in millions of the years, and not to mention the most powerful.

### **Rise and Fall** of **En Sabuh Nur**

After he received his new found power he journeyed to the remains of his village and found that some of Rama-Tut's soldiers had been expecting his arrival. Noticing that En Sabuh Nur had changed in size and form, the soldiers were first struck with fear but stood their ground. Nur then proceeded to kill the men with his new found power, sending a wave throughout Tut's empire, and after Nur wiped out a large majority of his army single handily, Tut traveled through time to find a new reality to rule.

With Tut defeated, Nur proclaimed himself the Eternal Pharaoh and gave Tut's followers a choice to either serve him or die. All the people knelled before him as he showed him his new godhood. En Sabuh Nur then led them to the ship fragment where he was transformed and demonstrated his powers further by building a pyramid around it, as his subjects chanted his name. After the making of his pyramid En Sabuh Nur went back into the device and equipped himself with cybernetic implants which would make him more powerful then any of the current Eternals, even Thanos himself.

En Sabuh Nur then chose to form a group of soldiers to be his personal guard, and so ordered a large majority of Tut's soldiers to kill each other, and whomever survived would be his guard. After the slaughter, four soldiers who considered themselves family refused to kill each other and Nur chose to make the four his guard. Using his powers, Nur tapped into the warriors enhanced potential and made them into the first four horsemen, molding the four into his most loyal and fiercest subjects. Using his new horsemen as well as his army of followers, En Sabuh Nur set out to conquer the world and rule it with an iron fist.

During this time Titan was still inhabited by the Eternals, and their leader Mentor (Thanos's father) chose to enlist the aid of the Ancient One, King Bor of Asgard, and the Inhuman royal family of that era in a attempt to bring down this evil before he would bring an end to the world as we they knew it. United with the aid of humanity's Brotherhood of the Shield, the rulers of separate domains stood together to stop Nur from wiping out their way of life. Through a fierce and costly battle, the heroes managed to defeat Nur along with his horsemen.

### **Slumber**

En Sabuh Nur proved to be as durable as a Eternal, and along with his cybernetic implants proved to powerful to destroy. So he was then placed in a sarcophagus that would put him into a state of stasis. The sarcophagus was then placed in his pyramid along with all Celestial technology. After his evil was locked away the Ancient One cast a powerful spell to hide the Pyramid from the eyes of the world for eternity. The rulers of separate realms then returned to their own domains. Leaving En Sabah Nur to sleep for the rest of time. After he was put to sleep, his followers followed his teachings and passed them down for thousands of years, which contributed to the creation of HYDRA.

### **New Purpose and death**

Once he reentered his pyramid En Sabuh Nur used the enhanced DNA and found out that their are millions like her (with the introduction of the Homo Superior into the population). En Sabuh Nur then decided that they should be his subjects and then chose that only the strong should survive to serve him. He came to the conclusion that through fire and death the Inhumans and others like them would come from the inferno and become better than ever. En Sabuh Nur then took the name **Apocalypse** to reflect what he intends to bring.

	+ **Body Manipulation:** Apocalypse's entire body can be reshaped at will. He can alter his appearance, allow his body to become extremely malleable, maintain his full dexterity, and elongate his body or limbs. Apocalypse can even assume an outwardly normal human form for disguise if he chooses.
	+ **Size Alteration:** Apocalypse is able to change his size at will; he can increase or decrease the size of his body by taking on additional mass or ridding of it from a presumably extra-dimensional source.
	+ **Self-Power Bestowal:** Apocalypse can, due to having total control over his molecular structure, can generate a number of different superhuman abilities within himself at will. The limits of this self-enhancement are unknown, but even before encountering the Celestials he demonstrated self-generated energy blasts. Measuring this ability after that time is difficult, since the difference between self-induced new mutant abilities and Celestial technology incorporated into his bio-mechanical body is hard to spot.
* **Energy Manipulation:** Apocalypse seems to have a range of energy harnessing and projecting capabilities, based on Celestial technology built into his physical frame. These effects include but are not limited to:
	+ **Energy Generation:** Ability to generate vast amounts of energy from an unknown internal source.

* **Mind Control:** Apocalypse proved able to control the actions of others, against their own will. Exactly where he acquired this skill is unclear. It was spread over an area of several miles, though it could be blocked by a skilled telepath. His abilities seem to be limited to only controlling those with traces of the Celestials research.
* **Psychic Defense:** Apocalypse's mental state provides him with a natural defense against telepathic intrusion.
