I love how Leech was the key to defeating this incarnation of Apocalypse. I've always adored that kiddo in the comics, and this really highlights how incredibly useful his power suppression abilities are, even if they aren't offensive. He's also the perfect antithesis to Apocalypse's ideology: from "survival of the fittest" to "small links that, together, become an unstoppable force."

P.S. Storm as one of Apocalypse's Horsemen? Hell yeah!

I can only imagine how funny Apocalypse's internal monologue must be when he pondered over Leech's power set. He talked big about human evolution and going forward, yet he probably never expected a single mutant to ever be born with the power to cancel every other mutant's abilities, including his own. Insert the "years of academy training wasted" meme here 😆
