He found it in the person of Nathan Summers, then wandering various eras as the Traveler. His travels then became fueled by a single-minded purpose- to find the key that would unlock the secrets to this alien technology. At some point, when traveling through Mongolia, Apocalypse encountered a spaceship abandoned by the planet-judging aliens, the Celestials. He was also known to have traveled around the world during these ancient years, appearing to various primitive cultures as their death god. Believing himself 'strong' and blessed, En Sabah Nur discovered Rama Tut’s technology underneath Egypt, and soon destroyed the Egyptian rulers around him and twisted Ozymandias into the being he is today.Īpparently, Apocalypse would use Rama Tut’s technology to 'regenerate' for long periods of time, becoming more and more powerful when awakening. He quickly became a rebel and was even killed by agents of Ozymandias, only to be revived soon after due to his mutant powers. When En Sabah Nur was an adult, he was captured with his nomadic clan and forced into slave labor under the Grand Vizier Ozymandias. This idea, that 'the strong will survive,' would shape Apocalypse's actions throughout time. The nomads took the child for their own, giving him the name En Sabah Nur, “The First One,” and teaching him to be 'strong' in order to survive the desert as a child. Left abandoned, starved to death as a baby in the harsh, unforgiving desert of ancient Egypt, ruled by Rama-Tut, a band of nomadic raiders found an infant, gray-skinned and freakish in appearance, abandoned by the settlers of Akkaba.
