Description: In ancient Egypt, the people chant the name of En Sabah Nur, meaning ‘Apocalypse,’ as they bow before a powerful entity. Accompanied by his Four Horsemen—Pestilence, Famine, Death, and War—he is led into a pyramid. A ritual begins to transfer his consciousness into a younger successor. As the sun aligns with the pyramid’s peak, the process commences. However, the Egyptian citizens revolt against their leader, sending massive pillars crashing into the pyramid to destroy En Sabah Nur and his Horsemen. Amid the chaos, Death shields the successor, ensuring the ritual completes, but En Sabah Nur remains buried under the rubble.
Fast forward to 1983 in Ohio, where a high school classroom discusses the events of a decade prior, when Magneto attacked a peace summit in Paris and Mystique intervened. A student named Scott Summers complains of eye pain. Misinterpreting it as a wink, his classmate mocks him, leading Scott to retreat to the bathroom. When the bully follows and threatens him, Scott’s eyes unleash a powerful blast, leaving destruction in its wake.
In West Berlin, a secret gathering watches as Angel battles a massive mutant. After defeating his opponent, Angel awaits his next challenger, who is revealed to be Nightcrawler, locked inside a box and brought in by captors.
