Oscar Isaac portrayed Apocalypse in X-MEN Apocalypse (2016). He is on #24 of the greatest comic book villains of all time. Here is more on the arch-enemy of the X-MEN:
Apocalypse Is The First Mutant Ever:
If you ever thought that Professor X or Magneto or any other mutant you have seen till now was the first mutant then you are terribly wrong. Apocalypse is the first ever mutant who is believed to have been born in Egypt almost 5000 years ago. Surprising right?
“Apocalypse” Is Not His Real Name:
He may often be addressed as Apocalypse. But if you thought that was his real name then again you stand corrected. His real name is En Sabah Nur. Wondering what it means? It literally means ‘The First One.’ Now it suddenly everything makes sense right!
His Powers?
The moment you think about a mutant you immediately start thinking about their powers and usually all mutants have well-defined powers. But that is not the case with Apocalypse. His powers are undefined. But as far as we know he has the ability to change his body at his will by controlling his body’s molecules. This enables him to heal almost in an instant and to transform his body into many deadly weapons. He is also believed to be immortal! He can increase his physical strength to a point where he surpasses Hulk!

Personal Guards:
It is not a co-incidence that Apocalypse has just 4 sidekicks in the movie. It is believed that he always appoints 4 people as his personal guards also called as his ‘Horsemen.’ He also has the power to enhance the mutant abilities of his horsemen. His most notable Horseman is Angel who later on becomes Archangel. Wolverine has also served as his horseman for a brief period of time. But in the movie, they only show Angel, Storm, Magneto and Psylocke as his Horsemen.
Arch-Nemesis:
If you thought that his enemies were the X-Men that he fights in the movies then you could be any more wrong. His arch-nemesis is Cable. Cable is a popular mutant who can time travel from the future. He is also the son of the famous mutant Cyclops.
