* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsApocalypse Apocalypse]] himself is presented in this series as [[AdaptationalNiceGuy a far less sadistic villain than usual]]. Born En Sabah Nur and left to die in the desert because of his status as the first mutant, En Sabah Nur was taken in by the warrior tribe of Baal, trained into their best fighter and destined for greatness. After the slaughter of his surrogate family by jealous, prejudiced humans, En Sabah Nur took the name Apocalypse and swore to bring the entire world under his boot. Using his intelligence to reverse-engineer powerful alien technology to suit his needs, Apocalypse set up hidden bases throughout the world, and even though he was betrayed and imprisoned by his allies at the time, Apocalypse bides his time until he is able to reach out and use the likes of Mesmero to orchestrate his resurrection. Immediately swiping away the X-Men and Brotherhood alike, Apocalypse turns multiple of their number into his "Horsemen" and uses their natural powers to assist him in his plan to transform all mankind into mutants who will live in [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans a utopia of Apocalypse's design]].

** Gambit is a [[GentlemanThief charming thief]] who joins the Acolytes as one of Magneto's more promising subordinates. Frequently acting as the group's [[TheReliableOne voice of reason]] and lasting the longest in fights that see his allies otherwise unceremoniously battered, Gambit notably plays a major role in detaining a mystical guardian for Magneto, running the unstoppable beast over with a bus that he then explodes with his power. With Magneto's defeat and the disbandment of the Acolytes, Gambit sets off on his own and kidnaps Rogue to recruit her aid in rescuing his adoptive father from a rival crime family, gradually winning over and manipulating her into volunteering her services to navigate the multitude of traps surrounding his father. A dashing rogue with a heart of gold underneath his duplicitous methods, a vision of the future even shows that he will one day join the X-Men, putting his skills to use on the side of justice.
