Because I am bored and can't sleep, I'm posting something I originally cooked up for Dicefreaks. The design is more in the vein of the Epic Bestiary than IH. "SL" is the same thing as Divine ability. A slash after SL indicates the entry costs 2 or more divine abilities.

—Level Adjustment: +29. (no wealth adj.)
Alter Size (Sl/2): Apollyon can reduce his size down to Small or up to Gargantuan as free action.
Antigenesis (Ex): Apollyon’s divine aura inhibits the act of creation. Any spell, spell-like, or supernatural ability mimicking an effect from the calling, creation, or summoning subschools (including his own) is automatically negated unless the caster succeeds a DC 85 caster level. In addition any healing received by creatures within Apollyon’s divine aura (including himself) is halved.
Change Shape (Sl): As a move action, Apollyon can alter his form, including clothing and equipment, to that of any corporeal giant, humanoid, or monstrous humanoid.
Destroyer (Sl/3): Apollyon gains a +15 competence bonus on all damage rolls (except for that caused by his wings). Half of any damage dealt by Apollyon’s attacks results from divine power, ignoring any damage reduction, resistance, or immunity to damage his foe may possess.
Divine Aura (Sl): Apollyon’s divine aura has a radius of 850 feet. As a free action, Apollyon can adjust the size of his aura, make certain beings within the area immune, or choose from any of the following effects (DC 87 Will save negates):
—Daze: Creatures within the aura’s area of effect must make a Will save or be unable to act, other than defend themselves.
—Fear: Creatures within the aura’s area of effect must make a Will save or be shaken and suffer a -2 morale penalty on attack rolls, saves and checks.
Divine Metamagic (Sl): Apollyon may spontaneously apply a total of six levels of metamagic to his spells (or spell-like abilities) each round without increasing the spell slot required.
Domains: Apollyon’s domains grant him the following abilities:
—Chaos: Cast Chaos spells at +1 caster level.
—Destruction: Apollyon gains one additional smite attempt.
Once per round as a swift action Apollyon may duplicate any of the following spells as a supernatural ability (save DC 87 where appropriate): animate objects, chaos hammer, cloak of chaos, contaigon, disintegrate, dispel law, earthquake, harm, implosion, inflict critical wounds, inflict light wounds (mass or normal), magic circle vs. law, protection from law, word of chaos, shatter, summon monster IX (chaos only).
Harbinger of the End (Sl): Apollyon’s arrival upon a world is presaged by unnatural weather, just as if he were an Elder Evil.
Herald of Annihilation: Although once a great enemy of evil, Apollyon’s fall twisted his abilities, making him a terrible foe of all life. The following abilities replace Apollyon’s normal paladin class abilities:
—Apollyon can use deathwatch at will as a supernatural ability.
—Aura of Despair (Su): Foes with 100 feet of Apollyon to take a -4 morale penalty on all saving throws.
—Executioner’s Hand (Ex): Apollyon inflicts 4 additional points of damage when attacking foes with fewer HD/levels.
—No End But Mine (Su): Apollyon adds a +5 profane bonus to his saving throws.
—Smite (Su): Up to 5 times per day Apollyon can declare one melee attack a smite attempt, adding his Charisma bonus to his attack roll and 40 to his damage. If Apollyon misses his opponent that smiting attempt is wasted.
—Turning (Su): Apollyon can turn both undead & outsiders. When Apollyon would turn an outsider that outsider must make a Will save (DC 62) or be banished to its home plane. If Apollyon receives a destroyed result against an outsider it is not banished, but take 34d6 points of damage instead (level + Cha mod).
Improved Mettle (Ex): Once per turn as a reaction Apollyon can brace himself against the impact from a single melee attack, ranged attack, or attack that grants a Fortitude or Reflex save for half damage; automatically halving any damage taken. Apollyon can only use this ability if he is aware of the attack and not considered helpless.
Irresistible Force (Sl): Apollyon can use his Unmovable and Unstoppable abilities an unlimited number of times per day, but once a given ability is used Apollyon must wait 4 rounds before using it again.
Pinions of Oblivion (Sl/3): Apollyon’s wings appear to be literal windows into the Great Nothing that existed before Creation. Each round as a free action Apollyon may make up to 6 secondary natural incorporeal touch attacks that inflict 3d6 points of permanent damage. As a move action Apollyon may flap his wings, unleashing a hail of feather-like entropic fragments that deal 6d6 points of permanent damage to all creatures within 200 ft. (DC 83 Ref. save for half).
Quasi-Corporeal (Sl): Those who survive long enough in Apollyon's presence note that he seems to flicker at times, as if his frame were a fragile mask covering a solar-shaped hole in the fabric of the cosmos. This grants Apollyon the same miss chance against attacks as an incorporeal creature. This has no other effect on Apollyon other than allowing him to ignore the miss chance associated with attacking incorporeal foes.
Rune of Eschaton (Sl): Apollyon can prepare any spell that deals hit point damage as if it was part of the cleric list.
Shrug off Punishment (Ex): Apollyon gains 105 bonus hp.
Summon Demons (Sl): Apollyon may summon 140HD worth of demons to serve him each day; no creature summoned may have more than 47HD. Alternately Apollyon may call demons instead of summoning them at the rate of 1HD per 2HD of summoning ability expended. Summoned demons remain for 1 hour before returning whence they came.
Sweeping Strike (Ex): On each melee attack Apollyon makes, he can choose one square he threatens that is adjacent to the one he is attacking, his attack is applied to each creatures in those two squares. Apollyon may use this ability on any attack, including attacks of opportunity.
Thick-Skinned (Ex): Apollyon gains DR 9/–.
Uncanny Power Attack (Sl): Apollyon automatically power attacks for the difference between his attack roll and his foe’s armor class.
Unmovable (Ex): Apollyon may gain a +20 bonus on any of the following:
—A grapple check made to avoid the effects of the improved grab ability.
—A Strength check to avoid the effects of a bull rush, trip attempt, or similar effect.
—A Strength check against any effect that would move Apollyon either physically or magically.
—Any one saving throw. If an effect that would move Apollyon either physically or magically does not normally allow a saving throw, he use this ability to gain a Will saving throw. Apollyon still gains the +20 bonus to the saving throw in such a case.
Unstoppable (Ex): As a free action Apollyon can gain a +20 bonus on any check to break or burst a door or item. Apollyon can use this ability to break a wall of force or similar effect with a success full Strength (DC 10 + spell level + spellcasting attribute modifier), with Apollyon applying the +20 bonus to this check. Alternatively, Apollyon add +20 to a single attack roll.
Cleric Spells: 903 sp per day. Caster level 75th. Save DCs are 51 + spell level. Apollyon can prepare paladin spells using his cleric spell slots.

ARTIFACTS
Dekakorônê: Upon Apollyon’s brow rests Dekakorônê, the ten-sided crown symbolizing his suzerainty over the 10 Dooms that presage the End of Time. Dekakorônê grants him the following benefits:
—Grants Apollyon a +10 profane bonus to AC and to the save DC of all Apollyon’s special abilities, spell-like abilities, and spells.
—Apollyon may replay up to 10 rounds of actions per day. When Apollyon replays a round, everyone else uses the same actions, while Apollyon can change his actions based on the knowledge of what everyone else will do. Apollyon can only replay a given round in this manner once.
Caster level: 85th
Revelation: Revelation is a keen halberd +10 that deals damage as a Huge weapon. Revelation can be extended and contracted at will, increasing Apollyon’s reach by 5 feet. Any time Apollyon would score a critical hit with Revelation he can choose nullify either all his target’s extraordinary abilities, spells & spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities until the start of his next turn. A creature cannot be subject to this effect more than once per round.
Caster level: 85th
Tunic: This tunic of white linen, which remains unaffected by the gore and damage of Apollyon’s rampages, functions as moderate fortification robes of armor +15 that grant a +10 resistance bonus to Apollyon’s saving throws.
Caster level: 85th
Misc: ???

DESIGNER NOTES
1. I still need to assign skill points
2. Herald of Annihilation needs 2 abilities to replace divine health and the paladin's mount.
3. I changed Shrug Off Punishement to grant bonus HP equal to 1/2 the character's level each time a LD receives it.
4. Apollyon has +39 pts of artifact bonus remaining.
5. Despite being a fallen solar, I did not use the SRD solar stats as a base. I created a 35HD large outsider using the rules in v6 of the CR calculator and added benefits from there.
