While it may seem obvious that the main villain of aX - Mensaga named theAge of Apocalypsewould beApocalypsehimself , that actually is n’t the case as one comic issue makes it empty the big - bad ofAoAisn’t who fans intend .

TheAge of Apocalypseis the splintered timeline of the Earth-616 macrocosm . perverse to democratic feeling , theAge of Apocalypsetimeline is n’t an original universe within the Marvel Comics multiverse the same way the Ultimate Universe is designated Earth-1610 . Sure , AoAearned the depute telephone number of Earth-295 , but it was n’t formed upon the macrocosm of the multiverse . alternatively , AoAcame to be after adjustment were made to Earth-616 ’s timestream follow the effect ofLegion Quest . In theLegion Queststoryline , the son of Charles Xavier , Legion , traveled back in sentence to shoot down Magneto as he was trying to make the world a good place by eliminating this ceaseless thorn in the X - Men ’s side . However , Legion attacked his forefather , Xavier , instead and accidentally killed him , thereby erasing himself from existence and throw the world into chaos .

Dark X-Men in Marvel Comics' Age of Apocalypse

InGambit and the X - Ternals#2 by Fabian Nicieza and Tony Daniel , Gambit and his squad of mutant outlaws were sent on a delegacy by disco biscuit - Men drawing card , Magneto ( as he formed the team in this timeline ) to slip the M’kraan Crystal as that is the only way the hero can reset the timeline , bring through Xavier ’s liveliness , and keep this terrible future from come to lapse . In this issue , Gambit and the Adam - Ternals have made it to the approximate location of the M’kraan Crystal where they are take on bythe full force of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard . The Shi’ar is a well - established intergalactic conglomerate that is usually led by Charles Xavier ’s close protagonist , Lilandra , after he and the tenner - Men press alongside her to earn Lilandra the deserved - title of Emperor – make the Shi’ar the X - Men ’s greatest ally in the world . In this realness , however , the Shi’ar are n’t led by Lilandra as Charles Xavier was n’t around to found a psychic link with her , so the ecstasy - Men never avail her tame her throne . Therefore , the Emperor of the Shi’ar is still the man the X - Men fought against in the original Earth-616 reality : D’Ken .

D’Ken is the Greatest Villain of Age of Apocalypse, Not Apocalypse

D’Ken is Lilandra ’s brother who ruled the Shi’ar with an branding iron fist and a ruthless desire for cosmic cruelness and planetary barbarity in the name of imperial expansion . Because of this , Lilandra was determined to win the throne away from him , and with the X - Men ’s help in Earth-616 , she was successful . Unfortunately , D’Ken murdered Lilandra intheAge of Apocalypsetimeline , leave him as the ruler of the Shi’ar Empire with no one around to stop him .

Revelation is patently the Earth ’s biggest terror within theAge of Apocalypseas he contrive the planet into a state of violence and fear , but on a cosmic layer , En Sabah Nur is n’t even a blip on the nefarious radar whereas D’Ken ( a villain who would n’t be in power if not for the modification within theAoAtimeline ) threatens all creation – prove thatApocalypseisn’t the cracking villainofX - Men’sAge of Apocalypsetimeline , D’Ken is .
