10 Great Comic Book Villains That Need Proper Film Treatment

10. Apocalypse

10 Apocalypse cropped Professor X fights for peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants. Magneto fights for mutant supremacy. Apocalypse fights to cleanse the world of all people that are weak, whether they are humans or mutants. All of them believe mutants to be the next step in human evolution but Apocalypse takes steps to further evolution by implementing survival of the fittest. Apocalypse is considered to be the first mutant to have ever lived, born 5,000 years ago. His name En Sabah Nur translates to €œthe first one€. He is immortal and has total control over the form of his body. He can change his size and shape at will and change his limbs into defensive or offensive tools. His body is able to adapt to any disease and can regenerate from injuries that would be fatal. He can also project and absorb energy. In addition to his mutant powers, Apocalypse has a vast knowledge of science and technology through many years of study. He even discovered advanced alien technology that he has used to enhance himself and others. Through this technology he is responsible for the creation of Mr Sinister and the transformation of the X-Man Angel into Archangel. Likelihood of appearing Apocalypse is one of the main antagonists to the X-Men so it is very likely that he will appear at some stage in the X-Men film series. The next X-Men film Days of Future Past to be released in 2014 will primarily focus on Sentinels. Sentinels are robots created by humans in order to control mutants, so it is unlikely that Apocalypse will be a major villain in that film. There is however a possibility that Apocalypse may appear in a post credits cameo.
