It’s been 30 years since Marvel Comics premiered one of its more recognizable alternate realities, the Age of Apocalypse. This was a universe where Charles Xavier was killed, leading to the rise of En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse), who ruled the world. Now that Apocalypse has passed the torch to Doug Ramsey (formerly known as Cypher and now going as Revelation), it’s time for a new age of terror, and it started in X-Men: Age of Revelation No. 0.

X-Men '97 star Lenore Zann teased what fans can expect from Rogue in the highly-anticipated next season of the animated Disney+ revival. Zanna has been voicing the fan-favorite X-Men since the original run of X-Men: The Animated Series, which lasted for five seasons from 1992-1997.

In the middle of X-Men 97 Season 1, Rogue faced the agonizing heartbreak of Remy LeBeau/Gambits death, who sacrificed himself during the devastating attack on Genosha. For the rest of the season, she showed her grief by doing everything she could do to avenge Remys death. Speaking with Screen Rant, Zann confirmed that Rogues Season 2 storyline will continue her search for justice. Rogue was last seen at the end of the Season 1 finale, where she gets stuck in Ancient Egypt with Nightcrawler, Professor X, Beast, and Magneto. "I'm not going to completely answer it other than to say there are Easter eggs in there for fans to follow up,...

The following contains major spoilers for the season finale of X-Men '97, "Tolerance is Extinction - Part 3."

X-Men '97 supervising director Jake Castorena, episodic directors Chase Conley and Emi Yonemura and executive producer Brad Winderbaum recently talked about Apocalypse being Season 2's Big Bad. Apocalypse, of course, was seen in the season finale, "Tolerance is Extinction - Part 3," as both himself and En Sabah Nur.

Castorena, Conley, Yonemura and Winderbaum delved into this topic while giving an interview to IGN, with Castorena avowing, "With the X-Men, for better or for worse, all roads usually end up leading to Apocalypse, right? It's either Apocalypse, Sinister, or Magneto. What I will say is we do things on purpose. Everything is meticulously done for a reason. For those looking to see where Apocalypse goes with the tattered card in his hand, just have to watch Season 2 to find out. But I guarantee you...

Concept art shows a more comic-accurate design for the much-criticized Apocalypse from X-Men: Apocalypse. The accuracy issues in portraying Apocalypse were the biggest issue with the film's villain. Future X-Men villains like Apocalypse should be physically intimidating, something the Fox version lacked that MCU villains like Thanos possessed.

The titular villain from X-Men: Apocalypse is one of the worst-received in the franchise, yet some concept art from the film's production offers a more comic-accurate version. Apocalypse, or En Sabah Nur, is one of the villains of the prequel X-Men films. Played by Oscar Isaac in X-Men: Apocalypse, the character was considered one of the worst X-Men antagonists next to X-Men Origins: Wolverine's Deadpool, with both considered among the lower-ranked X-Men films despite promising casts.

If you're an "X-Men" fan, you should be listening to the "Cerebro" podcast. The host, literary agent/"X-Men" historian Connor Goldsmith, and a guest (usually an "X-Men" writer or fan of some repute) discuss a chosen character — both their history and why they resonate.

The 101st episode of "Cerebro" (released May 2023) featured comic writer Jonathan Hickman, who relaunched the X-Men comics alongside artist Pepe Larraz in 2019 with intersecting miniseries "House of X" & "Powers of X" (the latter pronounced like the number 10). For the episode, they discuss En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse, the most infamous X-Men antagonist not named Magneto.

Writer Louise Simonson and artist Jackson "Butch" Guice created Apocalypse in 1986 as the shadowy villain for their book "X-Factor." He was revealed to be an immortal mutant, possibly the very first one. Born in Ancient Egypt, Apocalypse has shaped the curve of history to Herbert Spencer's survival of the fittest ethos.

After the Madrid Peace conference in 1991, the negotiations in Oslo at 1993 and the autonomy accord in Cairo in 1994, the peace between Palestinians and Israelis looked like a possible prospect at the time. Rashid Masharawi takes a look at the way a number of different people react to the prospect of peace, inside a Palestinian refugee camp, with “Haifa”, which screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.

There is a saying in Greece that could be translated as “you learn the truth from the very young and from the very crazy”. The second part of the saying fits perfectly Haifa, a middle-aged man who gets his nickname from the town he loves, and roams around the refugee camp in a military outfit, spurting words that make people perceive him as the town fool, but also seem quite close to the truth.

Lebanese icon Sabah has died at the age of 87.

The singer and actress was one of the Arab world's most well-known entertainers, first rising to fame in the 1950s in a run of Egyptian films.

Sabah - real name Jeanette Gergis al-Feghali - released over 50 albums and appeared in 98 films during her six-decade-long career.

She passed away at her Beirut home from an unspecified illness, Lebanon's National News Agency stated.

During her career, Sabah became the first Arab singer to perform at Olympia in Paris, Carnegie Hall in New York, Piccadilly Theatre in London and the Sydney Opera House.

Her biggest films include Soft Hands (1964), Ataba Square (1959) and The Second Man (1960).

She continued to perform into her 80s, and married nine times, including to Egyptian actor Roshdi Abaza and Lebanese author-director Wassim Tabbara.

She is survived by her two children, Dr Sabah Shammas and actress Howayda Mansy.
