Apocamarc lore part 8: Marc and Apocalypse’s parallels

This one’s big, and also the current last lore drop for now! Enjoy :-)

Expanding on previous convo on sleep:

And to wrap up thoughts here on general stuff and scale difference, since we didn’t quite have an ending:

Both Marc and Apocalypse have been raised to believe in their own overinflated or under inflated worth. Apocalypse was groomed to be a weapon and a conqueror and set on that path, divorced from his humanity and ability to see human life as worthwhile and able to be connected to because he was put on a pedestal so far above them his set of morals changed. There was no reason for him not to believe himself a god in the same way of any other in myth, the ones that cause mass destruction and plagues and floods and set off wars because it is their choice and will to. And as a result he nearly achieved that. But he didn’t. And now he has to reckon with never being a god at all, but a dehumanized and grandiose human mutant set up for power before he could be understood. His belief in betterment and in his choices being right almost caused mass destruction on a global scale.

Marc, on the other hand, is the same and opposite. He was taught to believe his worth did not matter, that he caused problems to those close to him and was not deserving of care. As a result he is set on a path for manipulation. He joins the army, then becomes a mercenary, and then Moon Knight, each time being an extension of someone else’s will, used as a tool in a personal crusade of political power, money, or revenge. And he wreaks havoc on small targets and his personal life in the process. He destabilizes groups, places, crime rings. He cuts people off, ghosts people, isolates himself. And it is because he believes himself to be so harmful that he should never be touched and as such builds a web of distrust and violence around him. He thinks he can do everything alone and that he has to, that he is the only one capable and bringing anyone else in would only hurt them, so he has to be the only party responsible, even though that’s never been the case, not with his friends or his headmates or anyone. His price of protection and doing what he believes is the cost of himself and his own relationships and morals. But he is painfully aware of that connection throughout.

Neither of them are right, but both intensely skewed world views stem from a similar yet opposite place of origin: from believing that worldview to be wholly correct, that it can do no wrong, and that actions taken for it are justified. There is a strange understanding in the middle. One that requires unearthing pain, shifting the view of the self drastically, and understanding that at the center, both of them are inescapably human. Something that, in many ways, is an idea they have to reckon with.

(IDs in ALT for all)

It will all be discussion n hcs and creative content from here until new convos happen! Feel free to send anything in, tag this account in any posts, whatever ;-D

Hey. Hey. Hey. If the Moon Boys live in a Marvel universe what’s their experience with/feelings circa mutants do you think

WHAT A QUESTION! (I'm going 100% show moon boys here)

Firstly, I think all of them are pro mutants rights.

(Because all the mutants x-men timelines are a MESS to put it politely, even if you exclude the comics I’m just going to wing it here. I’m thinking if x-men apocalypse took place in the 80s and then x-men 1 & 2 happen later on.)

Steven:

Steven has a crush on Storm. (I'm talking I printed your name out in every font level of crush here.)

I’m talking Star Struck. I talking Heart Eyes Emoji. (Also if he met Storm in real life, oh my goodness, 500 very polite questions BUT ALSO: “it’s very interesting how you control the weather, and clouds… you could cover the moon with them if you wanted couldn’t you?” STARES AT KHONSHU. “I imagine you could use winds to change the tides? I don’t know anyone that could do that.” STARES EVEN MORE AT KHONSHU.)

Marc:

Marc gets a little apprehensive around people that can read minds/influence his way of thinking.

I feel like it’s a big thing for him. Though I think if he met Charles or Jean and got to know them he would feel safe.

However, I love the idea of someone like Emma Frost (when she was with the Hellfire Club and before she joined the x-men) using psychic powers on Marc and getting a bit of whiplash when there are three minds. OR them trying to psychically attack one of the Moon Boys and just straight up getting Khonshu’s booming voice in their head like, “OH DO YOU THINK THIS MIND BELONGS TO YOU? WILL BEND TO YOUR WHIM?” and just throws them out of the Moon Boys head.

Jake:

Jake thinks Magneto has the right idea most of the time. (Sometimes the only way to get change isn't by just being peaceful.) But he disagrees with some of the methods.

I also think he would have an interest in how his suit would defend against different mutations and just how different mutations work in general. (It’s the autism coming out here.) Can Khonshu heal him from cyclops blast? Does adamantium damage the suit, or is it exactly the same if it was any other blade? Can Rogue touch him with the suit on? Can Kitty walk through people too? What does it feel like when she does? What does it feel like to the person she walked through? He has all these questions, he’s got to know the answers.

Also thinks that Apocalypse guys sure does look familiar... kind sounds familiar too... hmmmm... why is Marc blushing like tha-
