APOCALYPSE is a Summers & it is Canon!
Apocalypse is part of the summers family & any of his descendants he would father after mid-12th century BC would also be related to the summers family because of the T.O virus Also would be the same for Warren and his descendants 3852338B-4E21-4F34-9775-8C0476F0EFFA.jpg

I don't believe I've seen Alex Ross' rendition of Apocalypse before... as pretty much everything Ross does, I find it beautiful:

Happy New Year to Apocalypse and all his horsemen (fans)! I really hope ol' Poccy returns to the 616 this year. Seems to me like he'd love to be on Arakko!

Does anyone know if there have been any hints he is returning to the X-Men books after X of Swords? That's pretty much where I took a break, but I am about to start picking up the storylines again. I know he hasn't been back yet though. I hope he returns in a major way. It's been interesting how he's interacted in the storylines for Krakoa.

It's been heavily implied that he's returning this year. Al Ewing writer of X-Men Red said Genesis will be returning so it's likely Big A will be with her. Since you've been away, Destiny is back and she had a vision of possible futures, some of which we've been seeing come to fruition or getting glimpses of. In last week's Marauder's, Cassandra Nova said "supernova" and "Cassandra Supernova" was the name of one of the possible events Destiny saw.

As we can see, the Reign of Apocalypse would be next which could coincide with his return. X-Men Red is where the story of the Arakkii is mostly taking place so he'd of course be interested in what's going on there. Also, we learned in Knights of X (formerly Excalibur), that Apocalypse orchestrated and installed Mercator taking over one of the realms of Otherworld and he tasked Mercator with guarding the Siege Perilous.



As of the conclusion of Knights, Otherworld is now controlled by mutants (Betsy and Rachel), and the Siege is serving as a direct gate between Krakoa and Mercator. I would assume that would very much be to A's liking and I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to step back into that arena as well.

Heh, did we ever find out what Apocalypse needed to cut open Morgan Le Fay for?

Very happy to hear this. I hope he comes back and is still playin a non villainous role or at the least, something not so black and white. We all knew Sinister would turn coat, but it's interesting to see how Apocalypse has fit into the picture so far. Very happy to hear this news.

Has there ever been an explanation for why Apocalypse, an Egyptian, has a big A on his belt for "Apocalypse," a Greek word?

His creator, Louise Simonson's reveal in the sadly non-continuity series, X-Factor Forever, connecting his origin to Atlantis instead makes more sense for explaining this, but...

It's been shown that Apoccy changes his costume regularly. also he speaks English, so he probably updated it with that in mind.
