10 Characters Who Have Defeated Apocalypse
8. Stryfe
As the leader of a terrorist mutant group, Stryfe is a supervillain from the future, and a clone of Cable.
His existence comes about when Cable is taken 2,000 years into the future to cure his ailment from the techno-organic virus. Uncertain that Cable will survive, the individual responsible for his wellbeing creates a clone of the infant in case the worst happens. Unfortunately for this clone, Apocalypse from that time period attacks and kidnaps him. The mutant tyrant names him Stryfe and raises him with the intent to eventually use the boy as a host body.
Given no time to find a replacement host, Apocalypse is attacked and defeated by time-traveling Cyclops, Jean Grey and Cable.
The defeat and demise of Apocalypse leaves Stryfe to grow without him and the clone begins to live his life wanting vengeance on his adoptive parent in Apocalypse, and the parents he is genetically tied to in Cyclops and Jean Grey.
Upon raising an army and becoming an anarchist in the future, Stryfe goes to the past and forming his mutant terrorist group, he exacts vengeance upon the Apocalypse of that time. Upon defeating his adoptive parent, he becomes the new master of the Dark Riders, Apocalypse's chosen henchmen, and from here, he sets his sights on Cable.
