Apocalypse, also known as En Sabah Nur (or more recently, Revelation), has been a source of excitement for X-Men fans for months. The former villain became a fan-favorite during Dawn of X, only to depart from the comics following X of Swords. Since the release of Before the Fall: Heralds of Apocalypse (by Al Ewing and Luca Pizzari), his long-awaited return has been teased throughout multiple titles. These include Gerry Duggan’s X-Men, Kieron Gillen and Lucas Werneck’s Immortal X-Men, and, most prominently, Al Ewing’s X-Men Red. As the Fall of X has raged on, the wife and children of Apocalypse have brought civil war to Arakko, and many have wondered what the powerful mutant has been doing in the meantime. X-Men Red #17 (by Ewing, Yildiray Cinar, Federico Blee, and VC’s Ariana Maher) finally reveals what has been going on: Apocalypse is forming a new team of mutants.In Heralds of Apocalypse, the titular mutant learned that his wife, Genesis, betrayed the people they once ruled over. He made it clear that he opposed the warmongering and fascist beliefs she’d once instilled in him, but, unable to defeat her himself, didn’t stop her from waging war on Arakko. Since then, it appears he’s been assembling a team with the unique properties necessary to not only stop Genesis but seemingly achieve something even greater. At the end of Heralds, Apocalypse recruited one of the demons he’d previously warred against. Upon stepping foot on Arakko at the conclusion of X-Men Red #16, Apocalypse was shown to have also enlisted a mysterious hooded figure. X-Men #28 saw him rescuing Sunfire and Redroot, following their recent encounter with Orchis, and X-Men Red #17 reveals that he has freed and gained control over Vulcan. All of this has been for the sake of casting a spell that requires individuals who represent the four elements: fire, water, earth, and air, making in necessary to include Storm in his plan as well. However, it’s possible that he isn’t just assembling ingredients for a spell; he could be building a new X-Men team.Earlier this year at SDCC, Marvel announced a book titled New X-Men for 2024. “Who are the New X-Men?” the teaser asked while advertising that a preview for it would be arriving in November. Keen-eyed fans quickly noticed that the font for the title of the book was the same one used for the legendary ’90s X-Men event, Age of Apocalypse. AoA was primarily set in a dystopian future where Apocalypse had taken over the world, wiping out or enslaving both humanity and mutants he didn’t deem worthy, with only a small resistance of surviving X-Men left standing against him. This event firmly established the X-Men villain as one of Marvel’s biggest threats. However, with him now firmly on the side of the heroes, it’s unlikely this font choice signifies anything of that degree, but rather an indication that he and his new team will be leading the mutants forward.Arakko’s Civil War Isn’t About Strength — It’s About Tradition
