The next great villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has secretly created the strongest mutant enemy of the X-Men
Anyone who has followed the weak Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) knows that the next big villain of the Avengers is Kang the Conqueror. The time criminal has already shown some of his versions of different realities Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Maniaand many are unaware that the adversary has a strong bond with the X-Men’s greatest adversary.

In The Rise of the Apocalypse, published in 1997, Marvel Comics told the origin of En Sabah Nur, who would become the mutant villain Apocalypse. His people had left him for dead in the desert, when the child was found and adopted by a band of nomadic warriors called the Sandstormers, who adopted him as their own.
The reason they did this is that their leader believed the child was chosen by the gods to defeat the tyrannical rule of Pharaoh Rama-Tut. Well, Rama-Tut himself also kept an eye on En Sabah Nur, as he knew that he would grow up and become the Apocalypse.
The pharaoh wanted to recruit Apocalypse, when he became a teenager, to turn the mutant into a pawn for his next moves. However, since En Sabah Nur was found by this ancient band of assassins, who lived by the Darwinian code “survival of the fittest” – that is, it was in this community that the X-Men villain forged his concepts, which they became even more violent in the future.
But how did Kang create the Apocalypse?
Well, while it’s implied by the plot, if Kang the Conqueror or Rama-Tut never went back in time and highlighted his quest for En Sabah Nur, the Sandstormers probably wouldn’t know what value that child lost in the desert would have.
Furthermore, the presence of Rama-Tut in the past disturbed the Egyptian civilization, which began to live under the paranoia of the “mystical dangers” that surrounded it, due to the fear of the “divine magic” coming from the high technology that Kang brought from other eras.- the people of En Sabah Nur had abandoned him as a child precisely because they thought he was a demon, because he was born different, like a mutant.
Apocalypse isn’t even really an X-Men villain these days – in fact, he’s even acting alongside the team, after decades of clashing with Professor X’s pupils without Kang’s influence. After all, if he hadn’t been created by the Sandstormers, En Sabah Nur might have grown up without the rigid and violent twisted concepts of the nomadic band’s “Darwinism”.
Marvel Stuydios, as yet, hasn’t signaled the possibility of a repeat of this Apocalypse-Kang connection in theaters. But…since mutants are already in the MCU, nothing’s stopping her from doing so, since that would make perfect sense in the current cinematic timeline. And again: it would be a completely different approach from that of Fox, taking advantage of the universe already consolidated in the attractions of the big screen and the small screen.
