    Apocalypse

    Character » Apocalypse appears in 1771 issues.

    One of the very first mutants, Apocalypse is both thousands of years old and a monstrous tyrant that has been a longtime foe of the X-Men. Apocalypse believes that only the strongest (whether mutant or superhuman) should survive. His body is a mix of organics and powerful celestial technology, boosting his shapeshifting and other powers to god-like levels.

    Who can defeat Apocalypse?

    1st scan is from the future, where Apocalypse reigns and is significantly more powerful than current. 
    Apocalypse is killed during this story.
     
    Apocalypse and Hulk arent fighting in the second. Apocalypse is holding him using leverage.

    Depending on who's writing the comic, but classic wise   Thor, Silver Surfer,   The Age of Apocalypse story didn't make no sense he was made of flesh and blood, his body was metal.

    i know this is an old post but really?? the ppl listed on here are a joke. super man..wolverine lol. listen apocalypse has to lose because he is a villain... magneto had to beat him because he was the leader taking over for charles being he died. BLAME THE WRITERS, not the character.

    apocalypse for those who obviously dont know...can increase strength to match anyone really, he has super speed and teleportation,every physical power, telekinisis , energy absorbtion , can possess beings , super intellect obviously , master of planning and strategy. not many are defeating him...but being villains have to lose they have to make ways for him to be defeated. think if apocalypse was a hero...who would defeat him?????

    Ok Heres the way I see it.

    Thanos would win.

    Thor could win

    magneto could win.

    Black Bolt would win

    Hulk could win. Depends on how mad and what version.

    Sentry would mostly likely win.

    Silver Surfer could mostly likely win.

    Blue marvel would win.
    jean grey with the phoenix force would win. Most likely loses without.

    vulcan maybe

    Storm has some chance.

    I have good reason with each character

    Granted everyone is entitled to their opinions but some of the answers on here by people are laughable! Iceman?? Wolverine?? Emma Frost?? Hulk?? Dr. Doom?? C'mon!! IMHO those people who actually think those characters can beat Apocalypse are in serious Full Retard mode! SMH. Apocalypse's powers eclipses and outclasses those guys. Prime Example: Who can subdue the Hulk?? Who remade the Hulk into Death the Horseman. APOCALYPSE!!! To say that Hulk is just being held and used as leverage!? Idiotic!! Since when does the Hulk ever submit ??? Only when Apocalypse has him in a chokehold!! Nuff Said! Hulk stans please respond...

    @servantofapocalypse: Apocalypse is without a doubt stronger and tougher than a normal angry Hulk, but it does depend on how angry and what verson. Could Apocalypse beat World War Hulk. It would take a lot more than Apocalypse's superhuman strength to beat that Hulk. Apocalypse is a powerhouse though. At full power he is almost unbeatable.

    They'd have to be insanely powerful but first comes to mind is Skyfathers & above could beat Apocalypse.

    @killemall: Cause he did beat the Hulk before.

    He didnt defeat Hulk, he simply convinced Hulk to be his horseman.

    Different thing.

    That is also not considering how Hulk now is much stronger.

    pretty much anyone who could take stryfe, hulk, or thor can take out apocalypse. main people are magneto (who beat him in two different universes) and anyone one sorcerer supreme level (to my knowledge, apocalypse doesn't really have a magic defense).

    I love how people always say, Batman! I get it, he's an all time favorite, however he would get killed in 5 seconds against Apocalypse. The One, Beyonder, Spawn, Silver Surfer, Odin, Doomsday, Superman, Darksied, WB Hulk, and JG as The Phoenix. You could go on, but these are the top that come to mind even though Magnito beat him also meaning it takes a certain someone/something to beat one of the top 10 most powerful villains

    not really, apocalypse has a lot of edge over superman: i.e telepathy, energy absorption, intangibility, teleportation

    if you can beat a team of the 6 most random xmen you can find, you could make Apocalypse run for his life. Read the blood of apocalypse arc if you don't believe me.

    Many many people. Apocalypse is scared of Cable and Magneto so just go up from there or find other powerhouses. Most S Tiers can own him hell many below could. Apocs is overhyped by those who don't know comics and has a decent shape shifting power set and Celestial tech. That's it. Depending on who's writing he can also have telepathy or somethin

    Many many people. Apocs is a joke of an Xmen villain and could honestly be taken down by many of their rogues gallery to begin with. Hell, I've never understood why The Shiar empire doesn't send some of their elite to rip him apart.
