X-Factor Forever #2

Apocalypse has unleashed a twisted fusion of Master Mold and Cameron Hodge to clash with X-Factor, using the chaos to seize control of Ship and probe the mystery behind Cyclops’ son, Nathan. As the team fights to hold the line, Ship’s desperate distress signal draws the enigmatic Gammenon the Gatherer to Manhattan, throwing the city into a storm of escalating danger.

In "The Apocalypse Journal Part II," Apocalypse reflects on the ancient past, recounting the rise of the Eternals and Deviants, the fall of Atlantis and Lemuria, and his own role in shaping their conflict to ensure humanity’s survival. With the weight of cosmic history in his voice, he reveals how he manipulated the Deviants to deepen their strife—orchestrating chaos to preserve a species he deemed worthy of evolution.
