BEYOND APOCALYPSE

Five fearsome X- Foes waiting for Hollywood to call…

- Nick Setchfield

SAURON

An energy vampire in the form of a humanoid pteranodon – oh, the cool points – Sauron lurks in the hidden prehistori­c kingdom known as the Savage Land. Hypno- eyes, razor- claws, fire- breath… and the power to absorb the lifeforce of mutants!

THE SHADOW KING

The first evil mutant Charles Xavier ever encountere­d – and the primal threat that convinced him to form the X- Men. He’s an ancient entity of pure psychic energy, unleashed upon the astral plane by mankind’s first nightmare.

MUTANT X

Also known as Proteus, the insane son of Moira MacTaggert is one of the deadliest, most powerful mutants in the Marvel canon. Gifted with the psionic ability to reshape reality to his will, he can also possess host bodies.

ONSLAUGHT

Nothing less than the amalgamati­on of the dark sides of the psyches of Professor X and Magneto. The Big Bad of an epic 1996 storyline, this Jungian horror was only toppled by the combined might of the Marvel Universe.

CASSANDRA NOVA

Spawned from the imaginatio­n of high- concept king Grant Morrison, Cassandra’s the unborn twin of Charles Xavier, killed by her brother in a psychic battle in the womb. Now a disembodie­d psychic entity she has all of Charles’s power, none of his scruples.
