@leone.game.streaming6293 4 ай бұрын
It should be on "The Fifth Horseman" episode. Final Season. Fabian Cortez started the ceremony with Jubilee as the sacrifice but he was saved by Beast with Caliban's help and escaped. The ceremony continued with Fabian Cortez, apologizing to Apocalypse that he has no vessel for him. But Apocalypse said there is, and he merged with Fabian Cortez as his vessel.
@kraightondavis6587 4 ай бұрын

I hope they'll adapt the story arcs from the X-Men comics such as Inferno, Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, Fatal Attractions, and Project Zero Tolerance. And Remember: Apocalypse did escape the astra plane by possessing the body of Fabian Cortez.
