Genetic offspring of Scott Summers and Jean Grey created by Sinister.

to:

Genetic offspring of Scott Summers and Jean Grey created by Sinister.Sinister to destroy Apocalypse, and perhaps the most powerful mtuant in the universe.



* {{Expy}}: As a heroic, flamboyant and cultured swashbuckling swordsman, he's arguably more like 616's Nightcrawler than AoA Nightcrawler is.



%%* BaldOfEvil: Like classic Apocalypse he's bald, and he's about as evil as it is possible to get.

* GodEmperor: All set up to be one, but in the end, his powers prove to be no match for Nate Grey, who kicks seven kinds of crap out of him. And once he's on the ropes, Nate leaves him for Magneto who... well. See below.

* ArchEnemy: Sees himself as this to Nate Grey. Nate, being a LivingWeapon with raw power on par with Franklin Richards and the Dark Phoenix at the age of 17 (when his powers aren't killing him) usually swats him aside with limited difficulty - and that was back when he could barely control his powers. While he is aware of Nemesis' threat, in one exchange in his final battle with [=AoA=]!Apocalypse, Nate tellingly refers to him as 'small fry', as he swats him aside to go after Apocalypse. He also became this to Exodus after their hellish battle on Avalon.

* CutenessProximity: Even Sinister is not entirely immune to the enormous blue eyes of a very young Nate Grey, using one of his machines to generate a copy of a stuffed bear he'd noticed that little Nate liked before putting him back in his nutrient bath to keep growing.



* EvilMentor: To Dark Beast. Also to Cyclops and Havok.

to:

* EvilMentor: To Dark Beast. Also to Cyclops and Havok. He ''tried'' to be this to Nate, but Nate was having none of it.



* PetTheDog: When Nate first appears from his nutrient bath, looking about 6, he goes to the trouble of giving him a set of adorable pajamas and using one of his machines to generate a copy of a stuffed bear he noticed that Nate liked before putting him back under.

* ForWantOfANail: Supposedly the only reason this Apocalypse ended up so different from his normal incarnation is because Charles Xavier was killed before he could form the X-Men. This doesn't exactly hold up to what we are ''[[ShowDontTell shown]]'', but it is treated as a basic tenet just the same.



* ForWantOfANail: When discussing Sugar Man with the [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix7/sugarmanaoa.htm Marvel Appendix]], creator Scott Lobdell said that the reason the Sugar Man has never had a 616 counterpart is to make readers wonder what changed between the Age of Apocalypse and the regular timeline if the mainstream Sugar Man died or never manifested or if he's in fact just an ordinary guy someone in the world with the potential to become a nightmarish, concentration camp-running mutant monster.



* ForWantOfANail: Left his Norway vacation early thanks to Apocalypse's invasion and thus never found Mjolnir.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Even post HeelFaceTurn, 616 Magneto was never as kind as this version. Xavier's death before he could turn to villainy went a long way towards humbling him.



* HappilyMarried: To Rogue, despite some occasional strain.
* MayDecemberRomance: He's old enough to be Rogue's grandfather.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Poor guy managed to outlive all four of his kids. Anya presumably shared her mainstream counterpart's fate, Wanda was killed by Nemesis, Pietro sacrificed himself protecting Magneto from Sauron, and Charles was killed by Demon Ock.
