They had NO idea where he came from when they created him. The whole Egyptian thing? That only came about because people thought he looked Egyptian. Eventually, they came up with an awesome background for him (As shown in X-Men: Evolution). Problem is, it completely contradicted everything we knew about him from when he first appeared.  For instance, his technology was said to have come from Rama-Tut, aka Kang the Conqueror. But originally, his technology was from the alien race known as the Celestials. Then there was that stupid "A" on his armor. Why does an ancient Egyptian have the english letter A on his armor? A bunch of stupid things from before badly contradicted his new origin, which is what made him a messed up character.  Whatever the case, I like this new Apocalypse. He's much more consistent with his own origin, hence the lack of the bulky blue armor, and the fact that the ship now looks like a sci-fi pyramid, rather than how "Ship" from X-Factor looked like. His powers have yet to be defined (I still can't tell if he's using the powers of every mutant, or if he just absorbed those life essences to juice up his own power), but at least he doesn't look as goofy as he did, before.  As for the Four Horsemen, I always thought they were lame. The only cool one was Archangel. The rest of them were moronic, and had zero personality. Why is it only Death gets to wear an individualized costume? Why do War, Pestilence, and Famine have to wear the same outfit and ride around in their stupid robot horses? Which is a shame, because if someone were to put an ounce of effort into it, you could make a REALLY bad-ass Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Hopefully if X-Men: Evolution has the Four Horsemen, they'll put a little more effort into the other 3 than they did in the comics.</blockquote>
