X-Men ‘97season 2 split the superhero team across time and space. The two-part episode “Rise of Apocalypse” takes place in Ancient Egypt as the X-Men help the first Mutant En Sabah Nur lead a slave rebellion against Pharaoh Rama-Tut. Magneto is hoping he can change the future by guiding Nur to become a hero rather than the genocidal villain Apocalypse, but Rama-Tut has his own world-shaping ambitions.
