Apocalypse, Or En Sabah Nur, is a main overarching villain in most X-Men comics or series, and is a reoccurring villain over the years, what does the name En Sabah Nur mean? and how does it correlate to his character? 

(you may guess, if it's close enough I will accept your answer!)

In CANON lore it means The First One, which is relevant as En Sabah Nur is the FIRST mutant, though the real world Arabic translation also is relevant, it translates roughly to The Morning Light, or Dawn, and seeing as En Sabah Nur marked the dawn of the rise of mutants in canon history, the name seems very fitting!

This characters biggest weakness is his own mental blocks, and guilt surrounding his past as an assassin and thief, he lacks full control of his original powers and has to significantly nerf himself and place mental blocks in his own mind to keep from killing those he cares about unintentionally


Gambit/Remy LeBeau

Many people, including their actors for the fox movies (one of which is gay himself) are very open about their thoughts on these characters Queercoding. 

These characters are some of the main driving forces in the X-Men comics, these characters represent the two fundamental ideological responses to oppression: assimilation and/or peaceful integration vs. radical liberation and/or self-defense. 

Their personal relationship reflects the internal struggles within civil rights and queer history. Their queer coding and bordering romantic coding elevates this political divide, stressing that two sides of the same coin can be drawn to one another in a bordering codependent way. Most of these characters "heterosexual" relationships in canon also fall short in comparison to their natural chemistry, with a lot of their heterosexual relationships coming off predatory in nature and being widely hated, even.

Due to the nature of this mutants powers, characters who have space altering abilities or summon obstacles are a huge threat, and highly draining on both this characters physical and mental condition, serving as an achilles heel of sorts.

Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner. His "teleportation" is traveling through realms, if he does not have a clear sight and deep familiarity with where he's traveling he risks teleporting Inside of something and killing it seriously harming himself in the process, so opponents who alter space around them or create constructs pose as a natural opposition to his abilities! 

300

This character struggles with identity, constantly shifting and changing over time, and often being characterized masculinely, though in recent times was allowed to be referred to as a Nonbinary character for the first time since their release! 

Morph!<3

These characters had an arranged marriage in their childhood, and while they did care for one another and did experience love, this marriage did not end well.

Bella Donna

In the original Claremont run, these two characters were LEGALLY kept from being confirmed as queer, and relied heavily on subtext to get across their love for one another, for decades due to the editorial policies in the 1980s, these characters could not be queer openly, and instead lived together, shared emotional intimacy, and were shown to be very close and implied queer for decades before being confirmed to be queer, with one being stated to be the others one true love, though One of these characters is currently dating Betsy Braddock/Psylocke, instead of their initial love interest! 

Rachel Summers

Kitty Pryde

Eric the red brought these two characters together to defeat the X-Men, and during the AIDS crisis they had very heavy queer coding, later being confirmed by their writer during that time period to have been in a romantic relationship! 

Juggernaut & Black Tom Cassidy

We all know Deadpool is Pansexual, and though he's not an X-Man himself, he's deeply intertwined in X-Men lore, and there's a character he is implied to have had/actively COULD have a relationship with, including them being in a movie with each other in the MCU, their queercoding is undeniable! 

the "X-Man" in question has two mothers, and was raised in a very accepting way, including in some continuities his parents are implied/openly in a polyamorous relationship, this X-Man character is an omega level threat, and is constantly exhausting his own powers to keep *something* at bay within his own body, his entire character is straight laced and parallels Deadpools very well, fitting into many queer "stereotypes" for queercoded characters having one partner who's flamboyant and in your face while the other is more reserved. this characters constant repression of what is inside of him can also be seen as repressing his true self, though in canon it is something harmful to him, so take that with a grain of salt, though it does strike a chord with many queer people who have had to be kept in the closet! 

Cable/Nathan Summers
