Apocky Lips Jr.
Now I still maintain the the old X-Force was better. Not the old old one, but last year's X-Force with Elixir and X-23 and co was stellar. They had just the right amount of bloodthirsty killers and voices of reason to make them work, and I really think they should have kept the roster (and added Psylocke) and kept the numbering. However, I really have to give them this one...Apocalypse as a child? AWESOME :) We've seen him come back and back and back over and over again and they've even pre-set a plot device in the Marvel U that says that (like Jean Grey) whenever he dies he will eventually come back. So knowing in advance that he'll always come back in some form kinda takes the excitement out of it...unless they ACTUALLY do something incredibly innovative like...i dont know...make him a kid. I know some people probably groaned at this and i understand that (I had several groans about Miss Sinister myself) but I think taking a several millennium old mutant and making him a child with no knowledge except what Clan Akkaba teaches him was very smart. That's always been one of Apocalypse claims to fame 'I'm so old" "I've been around forever" yadda yadda yadda. But what if that got taken away from him?? I would kind of like to see child Apocalypse get his memory restored but not his super strong body and celestial tech. Let's see how fiercesome and frightening he is when ALL he has is his regular mutant power and he's not dealing with just some slave master with a whip.
