Apocalypse’s most loyal son was Holocaust of the Age of Apocalypse timeline. Unfortunately for the X-Men villain, Armageddon rejected his purpose and took after his mother, joining the X-Men and becoming Apocalypse’s worst nightmare.Īrmageddon is just one of Apocalypse’s sons across the multiverse and the only one who became a hero. Instead, Apocalypse artificially created Armageddon using his and Jean’s DNA in an effort to make the ultimate weapon that he could control. The details of Armageddon’s birth are unconventional, as in Apocalypse and Jean Grey didn’t conceive him by normal means. As far as his powers go, Armageddon has all of the powers of both Apocalypse and Jean Grey, making him one of the most powerful X-Men members the team has ever worked with.

Armageddon is reassured by Nightcrawler that he is a valued member of the team and that the X-Men can be his new home away from the abusive villainy of his father. Once there, Armageddon questions his place on the team and has doubts about betraying his father the way he did. Before he is vanquished, Apocalypse makes his escape and the Exiles fall back to their headquarters to plan their next steps. During the battle, Armageddon is able to keep Apocalypse at bay while the Exiles free the Phoenix from her containment as she is the only one who can stop Apocalypse once and for all. In the issue, fans see Apocalypse going toe-to-toe with his equally (if not more) powerful son, Armageddon. In Exiles #41 by Jim Calafiore, the multiversal X-Men team is battling Apocalypse as the villain tries to-once again-take over the world. Even though Armageddon is the spitting image of his father, he was just as equally inclined to being a superhero than a supervillain given that his mother is none other than Jean Grey. Armageddon is Apocalypse’s son from Earth-2182 who joined the multiversal team known as the Exiles after rejecting Apocalypse’s evil ways. One of the most powerful villains the X-Men have ever had to face, Apocalypse, has had multiple children throughout Marvel’s multiverse, but one of his sons completely turned against him and joined the X-Men, just like his mother.
