Apocalypse Twins (Uriel and Eimin)

• Core Identity: Uriel and Eimin are the immensely powerful, time-displaced mutant children of the X-Men's Archangel, manipulated by Kang the Conqueror to serve as cosmic assassins and orchestrators of a devastating “mutant rapture.”
• Key Takeaways:
• Role in the Universe: The Apocalypse Twins were engineered by kang_the_conqueror to be the ultimate arbiters of mutant-human conflict, possessing Celestial-level power and a fanatical devotion to creating a mutant-only future. clan_akkaba.
• Primary Impact: Their most significant act was the destruction of a Celestial Gardener, the assassination of key human leaders, the creation of a new mutant homeworld called Planet X, and the near-total annihilation of Earth's human population in an aborted timeline. uncanny_avengers.
• Key Incarnations: The Apocalypse Twins are exclusively figures of the Earth-616 comic book universe, central to the first volume of Uncanny Avengers. They have never appeared nor been referenced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and their complex backstory tied to Archangel, Kang, and the Celestials makes a direct adaptation unlikely.

The Apocalypse Twins, Uriel and Eimin, were created by writer Rick Remender and artist Olivier Coipel. They first appeared in a vision in Uncanny Avengers Vol. 1 #5 (March 2013) and made their full, physical debut in Uncanny Avengers Vol. 1 #8 (May 2013). Their creation was a cornerstone of Remender's long-form narrative that explored the legacy of apocalypse, the philosophical divide between mutants and humans, and the consequences of time travel. They were designed to be antagonists who were both sympathetic and terrifying—victims of horrific circumstances molded into genocidal fanatics. By making them the children of Warren Worthington III (archangel), a founding X-Man, Remender immediately tied them into the deepest lore of the mutant world, creating a personal and ideological conflict for the newly formed Avengers Unity Division. Their story arc is a direct consequence of events from Remender's prior run on Uncanny X-Force, specifically Archangel's ascension to the role of Apocalypse's heir and his relationship with Ichisumi, the Horseman of Pestilence.

The origin of Uriel and Eimin is a tragic saga of manipulation spanning millennia. They were conceived during the “Dark Angel Saga” when Warren Worthington III had fully embraced his programming as the heir to Apocalypse. Their mother was Ichisumi, a member of the Final Horsemen who served as Pestilence. After Archangel's defeat and psychic “reboot” by psylocke into a blank slate, the pregnant Ichisumi fled into hiding with Clan Akkaba. Their story, however, was immediately hijacked by the master of time, Kang the Conqueror. Having foreseen a future where mutants, led by the Twins, would eventually usurp his dominion, Kang traveled back to their moment of birth. He abducted the infants from Ichisumi's care, leaving her to believe they were dead, and whisked them away into the time stream. Kang's motive was a long-term gambit. He didn't raise them as his own children but instead placed them in an “Akkaba Concentration Camp” in the far future, a desolate world where mutants were brutally oppressed by humans under the command of a tyrannical Colonel America. For years, Uriel and Eimin suffered unimaginable torment, witnessing the systematic slaughter of their fellow mutants. This brutal upbringing was designed by Kang to instill in them an unshakeable, genocidal hatred for humanity. When they were on the brink of death, Kang appeared before them as a messianic figure, a “savior” named Rama-Tut. He rescued them from the camp, telling them he was a friend of their father, and brought them to his temporal kingdom of Chronos. There, he trained them for centuries, honing their incredible powers and indoctrinating them with his twisted philosophy. He taught them that mutants were the rightful inheritors of Earth but that their compassion and desire for coexistence, as championed by leaders like professor_x and havok, were weaknesses that would lead to their extinction. He armed them with cosmic weaponry: to Uriel, he gave Jarnbjorn, the dwarven-forged axe once wielded by a young Thor, which was capable of piercing Celestial armor. To Eimin, he gave cosmic seeds that could grow into Chrono-Scythes, capable of inflicting temporal plagues. Kang's ultimate mission for them was simple: they were to become the unforgiving saviors of mutantkind. They would force an evolution by culling the weak and destroying humanity, thereby creating a future where mutants ruled, but a future that Kang himself could ultimately control. Their entire life, from their abduction to their radicalization, was a meticulously crafted lie to turn them into the perfect weapons for Kang's temporal war.

As of the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Apocalypse Twins do not exist. Their story is deeply enmeshed with characters and concepts that have either not been introduced or have been handled very differently in the MCU. There are several key reasons for their absence:

• X-Men and Mutant Lore: The Twins' entire identity is tied to being the children of Archangel, the heirs of Apocalypse, and members of Clan Akkaba. While mutants are being introduced post-Ms. Marvel and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the intricate, decades-long history of characters like Angel/Archangel and Apocalypse has not been established.
• Kang's Role: While kang_the_conqueror has been established as a major multiversal threat in Loki and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, his motivations and methods in the MCU appear focused on controlling the “Sacred Timeline” and battling his own variants. His specific comic book obsession with manipulating mutant history and creating specific timelines has not been a focal point. Adapting the Twins would
