For millennia, I sought the path laid out before us on Krakoa. The promise of something more than fighting our lessers for the right to exist. My people — our people — feasted on a bounty of possibility while the island thrived. For a brief moment, it seemed that a new age had dawned. And then it was taken from us. We are in lean times again — a famine of hope and potential. But one of you will lead the mutants of Earth to prosperity once more. You work together out of habit, but do not mistake the trial I’ve presented to you. Only one of you will be my heir.

Solicit Synopsis
For centuries, Apocalypse tested the mutants of Earth to guarantee that only the strong would survive. Now, as he takes his throne on Arakko, another must rise in his place and ensure the mutants of Earth do not grow weak in his absence! Twelve mutants chosen from the X-Men’s greatest heroes – and villains – will compete for the honor, but only one can become…the HEIR OF APOCALYPSE!
