En Sabah Nur, otherwise known as Apocalypse, is one of the overarching antagonists (alongside Sebastian Shaw) of the X-Men film series, serving as the overarching antagonist of the 2014 superhero film X-Men: Days of Future Past and the titular main antagonist of the 2016 superhero film X-Men: Apocalypse.
Apocalypse is the world's first and most powerful mutant, who was born prior to 3,600 B.C. in Ancient Egypt, where he was worshipped as a god. He possessed various mutant abilities that made him seemingly invincible. Apocalypse would always select four powerful mutants to serve him as his Four Horsemen. Upon awakening in the modern world in 1983, Apocalypse lived under the belief that mankind needed to be eradicated. Apocalypse recruited Storm, Psylocke, Archangel, and Magneto to serve as his Horsemen. His plot was ultimately foiled during the Battle in Cairo and he was killed by Jean.
He was portrayed by Oscar Isaac.

Trivia
- Ironically, despite being Pure Evil, Apocalypse's plans involved making mutantkind the superior race in the world, which would have eventually benefitted the mutants, because as shown in Logan, all mutants were hunted down until near extinction by Donald Pierce and Dr. Zander Rice, which proves that Apocalypse would have actually given mutants the chance to thrive.
- It is one of the two versions of Apocalypse that are Pure Evil, along with his animated version.
