- Apocalypse: I am APOCALYPSE! Look upon the future, AND TREMBLE! All who oppose me... shall be crushed!
- [steps on a camera]
- Apocalypse: Fools! You bleat for the future like a herd of sheep! I'll give you the future right now!
- Apocalypse: [to his Horsemen] The old world passes away. Together, we shall forge a new one, in fire and blood. The future is transformed. I am the instrument to purify the world, the evil of humans and mutants must be cut away! You shall help me, tear down the old order! Those who oppose me shall perish, through my agents of destruction!
- Apocalypse: You had the chance to be the first of my creatures, the first to serve my purpose.
- Rogue: Dang! And I missed it!
- Angel: I wanted to be normal but all I did was prove that I'm capable of terrible evil.
- Rogue: It wasn't your fault. I wanted to deny myself, too, for a time. That could have been me helping that madman. Don't worry. I took the evil away when I touched you. It's a part of me now.
- Angel: I just hope you're strong enough to control it. I wasn't.
- Professor Charles Xavier: This is what I've feared the most, a powerful mutant driven completely mad by his powers. This isn't like Magneto or the conspirators who produced the Sentinels. They could be appealed to, reasoned with. We have to stop Apocalypse now, or there will be no future for anyone.
