Long ago, when the pyramids were still new; a mutant known to this day as Apocalypse ruled all of Egypt. Until one fateful day, when his ritual was interrupted and his followers killed. Many years pass before he is reawoken in the year 1983...
Ororo Munroe, better known as Storm, becomes the first of his new-age followers after he upgrades her meteorological powers. Betsy Braddock(Psylocke) leaves her master Caliban, becoming the second recruit, while Warren Kenneth Worthington III-after losing a fight to Kurt Wagner(Nightcrawler)has his damaged wings upgraded, thus joining Betsy and Ororo in the service of Apocalypse.
