Not a fan of Age of Apocalypse? Honestly that's what I blame for everyone's love of Pocy. The fact that he was actual evil and successful at his schemes. So nothing can top that incarnation of him, so he'll always for ever more be stuck in the role of the loser. That can be said with a lot of the AoA versions of characters, they were much more cool/powerful than their mainstream versions can ever be.

As a whole, no, I'm not a fan of AoA, nor it's portrayal of Apocalypse.

I'm not sure if I need to say anything more...

Cool thread, but the fact is that "bada$$ apoc" has been written less than or equal too "absolute punk" apoc.

Early X-Factor and the Age of Apocalypse.

I've alwayed liked him back in the X-Factor comics, when he was written by Walter Simonson, and was thin and tall, as well always schooling the X-Men.

These days...he's turned fat, have had a crappy redesign, and lost his superior and powerful presense that he used to have.

Incredibly awesome idea for thread.

Good call.

Thanks.

I hope this thread shows that Apoc is not a total jobber like everyone says he is

"BoA" is short for Blood of Apocalypse. I can only assume that was the intent.

Ah.

Well, that was another bad end for Apoc.

Respect Pocy :evilsmile

BoA is in general one of the worst storylines in X-Books. What a poor usage of characters. I found nothing interesting in him.

He is one of my favorites too.

Pooky's never interested me. He talks a big game, but he always gets his ass kicked. Hopefully, the Celestials will keep him away for a good long time.

He was great in X-Factor. I haven't read Classic X-Men #25. Everything else I've read with him in it, though...yeugh.

If only 616 Apocaylse was like the 90 toon guy, he was cool. Quotes make the best evidence of this.
