Apocalypse's powers in the 2016 movie

[Mutant 77]

Well,

Apocalypse's original mutant power:

We don't know. By sure, his skin was grey/blue because his mutation.

Mutant powers absorbed via alien technology (to me, the technology used in the movie was obviously alien):

1- Teleporting field (violet)
2- Force field (yellow)
3- Persuasion? That could be the way it pushed Magneto to destroy the world
4- Sand manipulation
5- Mutant power enhancement (BUT Archangel's wings were obtained via alien matter manipulation)
6- Regeneration
7- Telekinesis
8- Telepathy blocking
9- Astral plane projection and control
10- Adaptive power

Alien powers connected to his armor and the Celestial structure (placed beneath Cairo):

11- Superhuman physical abilities
12- Matter manipulation
13- Digital data absorption (not a mutant power absorbed in the Ancient Egypt, that would not make sense)
14- Essence Transfer Process


I would love to get your feedback on this.

Good thread.

I don't believe Apocalypse had #7 telekinesis but sand manipulation/sculpting power/matter manipulation. and

But in addition to all of the powers you listed, I think he also had these too:
1) could block minds from mind control, even as strong as Charles
2) adaptation, as when he caught on to Pietro's super-speed
3) he didn't seem bewildered by the Astral plane nor acting in the physical world while also engaging Charles in the Astral Plane so some type of psychic power
4) life longevity for each body he was in (as the one he was in while trying to obtain Charles was from 3500 BC)

Great points.

He showed telekinesis in the DOFP post-credits sequence.

Sand manipulation and matter manipulation are two different powers, I guess.

Don't know where the film was going if anywhere but in the comics the Apocalypse overthrew Rama Tut who was a younger version of Kang the Conquer so the technology he had that Apocalypse used was from the future.

Thanks!

I forgot about at the end if DOFP post credit scene. I wanted to see that scene go on for a little bit longer.

I am very interested in the mutants who protected Apocalypse in the pyramid. The woman with the long blonde hair seemed especially powerful but not quite sure what were her powers. The man who controlled fire crispy-broiled the guards in a few seconds.

Yeah, the Egyptian Horsemen were extremely cool.

By the way, En Sabah Nur wasn't Egyptian, presumibly. The name is arabic, even.

Really? I didn't know that.
I just knew it was Celestial stuff left on Earth (for accident?).

Maybe En Sabah Nur had technopathy as original mutant power, since he interfaced with alien technology the day he discovered it or so.

In the Comics he sure as Hell was Egyptain. By birth, got raised by raiders due to birth parents ditching him for the weird blue skin.

He stumbled on celestial space ship and evolved himself with more powers. Physical stats and stuff including altering his own molecules.

In film he just copies other mutants powers aside advancing ore existing levels.

Not only...

[Somecrazyaussie]

To be honest, Apocalypse's powers really don't make sense in the comics. So the fact the movie version couldn't pin them down is logical.

I thought it was Celestial tech he found on earth too. Did they elaborate further in more recent stories or are we both just misremembering ?

Great insight.

Wasn't Kang (As Rama-Tut) involved in the comics origin too?
