I was just wondering if there's a mutant or superhero in the Marvel universe who could defeat Apocalypse. And if there is say how they could do it. I'm no comic expert so I might be ignorant at this, but it seems Apocalypse just can't be beaten.
:apocalypse:
Mutants
Magneto
Jean Grey
Scarlet Witch
???Professor X???
Any Omega Level mutants could beat him easily:
Jean Grey (and her many incarnations and offspring)
Iceman
Elixir
Scarlet Witch
Franklin Richards
Mister M
Vulcan
several cosmic entities such as The Gradmaster, Death, Eternity, Galactus, Phoenix Force, Living Tribunal, The Stranger, Korvac, all Celestials, Ego The Living Planet, Beyonder, Kubik, Uni-Mind, Chronos and so on.
Magical entities: Gaea, Odin, Zeus, The Vishanti, Dormammu, The Octessense, Ch'ton, Set the Serpent God, Demiurge...
some super heroes such as: Thor, Silver Surfer, Nate Grey, Blackbolt and Doc Strange definitely have a good chance of winning.
some villians: Mephisto, Thanos, Surtur, Molecule-Man, Proteus and Maelstrom.
maybe: Hulk, Annihilus, Sentry, Mister M...
on power peaks: Scarlet Witch, Franklin Richards, Nova.
EDIT: oh, and I disagree that any omega lvl mutant can defeat him. Being omega only means illimited potential for power, not effective power. very few omega lvl mutants have powers developed enough to face Apocalypse.
Kind of. Iceman has the capacity to do it - he just has his own barriers to overcome. Elixir could just touch Apocalypse and do anything to him. The rest can all just either tear him apart from an atomic level or just wipe him out of reality.
Yeah Iceman needs to learn his full potential. Storm could possibly do it. And Elixir, Franklin, Vulcan, Mr. M, Rachel, and X-Man. (adding on to my list here).
Magneto did already.
So does he have some weakness that these characters can exploit? What is it?
I'll list what Mister M can do:
Heal instantly
Control all machinery
Negate or augment mutant powers
Intangibility
Can scramble organic molecules
Can produce any and all forms of energy
Can control any and all forms of energy
Can control all forms of matter
Use energy to make himself impervious
Create and evolve lifeforms and himself
Mister M is basically a god. He could simply reverse Apocalypse's evolution and make him a monkey with no powers. Then do whatever he wants.
Others can just wipe him out of reality.
the big if is apocalypse's celestial technology based armor. it's impossible to predict to what it can protect him from. remember that the celestials are the ones who created mutants in the first place.
That armour was a part of Apocalypse's original body. Which has since been destroyed. He's still highly resistant and has the Celestial's techno-organic virus, but he just doesn't have all that invulnerability that he used to have.
Elixir can't handle Apocalypse. Apoc has vast psionic powers that can handle Elixir. Even his astral form would be too much for him to handle. Apoc's inherent powers grant him all sorts of physical advantages anyways.
Elixir can rewrite his own DNA so theoretically he could make himself immune to psionic powers.
There's no such thing as immunity to psionic powers though. Telepathy, maybe (even this is a stretch), telekinesis, no. In any case, Apoc's ability to restructure himself at the molecular level should allow him to give himself any power he desires is part of the basis for all the other powers he has.
:cyclops: If Cyclops could learn to control is powers he might be able to. He has the ability.
:iceman: I agree with Dihan and MarvelFan12345. Iceman could if he had met his potential.
:galactus: Galactus could easy. Just step on him, if he could fit in the room.
:wolverine: Wolverine might. He could just slash him to bits if he had enough time to get to him.
:hulk_icon: and :colossus: They could just whale on him.
Would Stan Lee battle Armored be able to? :P
wolverine, colossus, cyclops? oh, come ooon.
it's useless to slash apocalypse to pieces, he can regenerate himself from a single cell, kinda like mister sinister.
agreed on Iceman.
Elixir may be able to some years from now, with a lot of training. but he's not up to the challenge YET.
Rogue could have when she was overloaded with powers. If she would have let herself go, talk about destroying everything... but now that she's lost all them powers and is back to the way she was originaly, there's no way.
In his prime i bet Cable could do it.
Hey were talking about Apocalypse here!... How in the world could :colossus: :cyclops: :wolverine: beat him... I think that :polaris: (since :magneto: did it) and :storm: could defeat him if they use all the power they have to the max
Jean Grey, Magneto, or Stan Lee
If it's just mutants, then just a few. If the whole Marvel Universe, then a lot of them could.
Strife could do it too
Onslaught probably could.
And Phoenix /Dark Phoenix
Howard the Duck and the old Cypher
Squirrel Girl. She's already taken down Doctor Doom, Modok, Terrax and Thanos, so Pocky shouldn't be too much of a stretch. :)
The Sentry could own him easily, so could the Beyonder.
And Hulk
Well...Silver Surfer could, Scarlet Witch maybe and Abraxas for sure
maybe Gladiator and Hyperion , Black bolt
Eternity, Thanos, The Living Tribunal, Ego the Living Planet for sure

Right you are! Her power set should include being unbeatable against extreme level opponents.
Blackbolt could just scream in his ear and boom, no more head or city they are fighting in:) Also i bet sentry can take him
Squirrel Girl. She's beaten like everyone, and she rules.
Silver Surfer and Proteus, I guess. But since Proteus needs a "host", I dunno it will count as solo.
Dark phoenix will just melt him in a split second
The Beyonder, Cosmic Spider-Man, Celestial...
The Beyonder and Galactus can defeat him easily
Scarlet Witch, i mean she caused M day. So Apoc shouldnt be a problem for her
Jeannie/Dark Phoenix Dont need a reason i guess :P
Rogue, she beated him in X-men Evelution
Gambit at full power, poke *bam*
Galactus :P
Lotsa peeps could beat him
Including squirrels and ducks
Howard the Duck you ROCK!
If invisible woman got better control of her powers I bet She take him down
I'm going to make a new list.
Jean and all her children (Rachel, Nate Grey, Stryfe, and Cable if he could use his powers to the fullest)
Scarlet Witch
Franklin Richards
Galactus
Thanos
Vulcan
Hulk
Thor
Onslaught
Sentry
Beyonder
Captain Marvel
Silver Surfer
Magneto
Polaris
???
Dr. Strange
Magik
Rogue
Storm
Iceman
Elixir
Quasar
Nova
So quite a few actually and maybe even several more.
