1. The Age of Apocalypse
It is this story which kicks off the Age of Apocalypse timeline as it features a mutant known as Legion – who could arguably be replaced by anyone – travelling back in time to kill Magneto. However, when Professor X gets caught in the crossfire as he tries to protect his then friend, a new timeline is created (it’s worth noting that this is the same timeline that Bishop is from; a character who WILL be featured in X-Men: Days of Future Past).
As a result of Xavier’s sacrifice, Magneto comes to believe in his late friend’s dream of a peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants. Apocalypse takes advantage of this by choosing this as the time to strike, leading to an all-out war between him and Magneto’s team of X-Men.

Excuse me, spoiler alert!, i’m about to read the X-Force comic that is mentioned here!!!
I don’t quite understood the point in introducing Kid Apocalypse. That story doesn’t fit and sound a bit too much. I don’t care about Stryfe either but everything else seems legit. Especially The Four Horsemen, Sinister and the return of the Summers Family!
no kid apocalypse, fun story line to silly 4 a movie ,4 hoursemen only the originals the rest take more story time than marvel ever wants to tell, no archangel same as last reason besides they screwed his origin up enuff already, Sinister, yes, but just as a set up for the next film ,nightcrawler ,yes, but only if they stay true , not like the rogue/kitty pryde crap that came from the 1st movie, AoA no let the fans have a great story line let marvel screw with the avengers and ultron way harder to mess up a junk story,
It’s been out since the mid-90’s man, you’re a little late for a spoiler alert
That doesn’t matter and it was 2 years ago!
Great article, heyuguys, you only forgot Gambit. Cyclops and Gambit return at the same time would be kind of epic and perfect marketing move.
Other than had, spot on
Actually,i’d like to see an “Age of Apocalypse” film..Also i wanna see Sunfire,Gambit,Cable/Nate Grey,Sinister and more…
