* PurpleIsPowerful: When he's transferring his essence into a new host, his consciousness is rendered as a purple gas-like substance.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted. She , like the rest of the Knights , was uncomfortable being in Auschwitz , where millions of people were massacred , but she didn't do anything to stop it and seems to have forgotten all too easily.

* FashionableAsymmetry: [[https://n2ps.storied.co/uploads/c048fcd98aae2d23da146cca1f366a5b.jpg Her thigh-high boots.]]

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Apocalypse has had countless superpowers, but none of them was implied to be more original than the rest, and he has never been seen with [[BodySurf body surfing]] before. In the film, the latter appears to be his original mutant power, as he hops from host to host and steals the powers of whoever he has taken over.

* AdaptationalWimp: Zigzagged. This Apocalypse lacks many of the superpowers of the comics incarnation, most prominently being unable to shapeshift, having no energy projection or absorption abilities, and no access to any alien technology (among many others; Apocalypse's powers in the comics were ill-defined and often fell into "[[DependingOnTheWriter just whatever]] [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands he needed in that moment]]"). However, the film Apocalypse still won the SuperpowerLottery with matter manipulation, psionic abilities, empowering other mutants, teleportation, SuperStrength and other lesser skills. He's ''technically'' not as powerful as the comics version, but still pretty damn mighty and quite surely the second most powerful individual in the film franchise.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Psylocke is a telepath who later gains other psychic-related skills like telekinesis and precognition (as well as some non-related, like teleporting through shadows). In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she shows the ability of generating psionic weapons, the character's usual way of channeling her psychic powers in the comics, but nothing of her powers themselves. She might retain a minor form of telekinesis to enhance her agility, though.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted. She , like the rest of the Knights , was uncomfortable being in Auschwitz , where millions of people were massacred , but she didn't do anything to stop it and seems to have forgotten all too easily .

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Or to be more exact, a plane. He gets stuck inside the X-Men's jet as Jean sets it to crash and Nightcrawler teleports all the X-Men out. His dead body is seen in the ruins of the jet and is noticed by Apocalypse, who sneers and says "Useless." This also triggers Storm's HeelRealisation and HeelFaceTurn.]]

* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Averted, as she's only referred to by her code name Psylocke.

* WhipItGood: Other than a blade, she's able to generate a whip which is also made of psionic energy. She's shown trying to strangle Beast with it.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his brief appearance at TheStinger of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's seen telekinetically building a pyramid. Amusingly enough, while he shows many powers in ''Apocalypse'', straight telekinesis is not among them (and considering how damn unstoppable he is even without it, it was quite unnecessary).

** He is essentially what Wolverine could be if he werea flat supporting villain. Both are born to wealthy families that they are estranged from, both have powers of predatory animals (wolverines being mostly carnivorous mammals, Angel having the wings of a bird of prey), both defeat Blob in a fight, both are blood knight cage fighters, both love wearing leather jackets, both drink acohol heavily, both of them profanely reject a recruitment offer [[note]] Wolverine tells Charles and Erik to "go fuck yourselves" (original line was "fuck off"), Angel tell Apocalypse to Fuck Off in German before incorrectly translating it to Piss Off in English [[/note]], both of their left claws/spur get damaged in a fight [[note]] Sabretooth stomps Logan's left claws, Nightcrawler electrocutes and burns Angel's left wing and the spur on the joint [[/note]] and they later get metal upgrades. The biggest differences are Logan is portrayed as the hero protagonist and has an instantaneous healing factor. Whilst Angel is a villainous mook who does not have a healing factor (despite his original timeline version can regenerate both his wings and comic version can heal himself or others with his healing blood).

A winged mutant enslaved and forced to cagefight other mutants for the amusement of cheering crowds. Having escaped during a fight with Nightcrawler (but not before severely injuring one of his wings) Angel is sought out by Apocalypse, who replaces his feathers with knifelike metal and dubs him the Horseman of Death.

* FlatCharacter: The only characterization he gets is he was once a cage-fighter who got defeated and abandoned. How he ended up as cage-fighter are left completely unexplored and for the most he's just Apocalypse's generic minion.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's not clear if he's still Warren Worthington III somehow born earlier due to timeline alterations (although he would have been born before the timeline was altered) or a separate character with a similar mutation like ''First Class'' Emma Frost and ''Origins: Wolverine'' Emma Silverfox.
