Apocalypse as a god-like pharaoh (left) and as a cybernetic being (right), as he appears in X-Men: Evolution.
- Apocalypse appears in X-Men: The Animated Series, voiced by John Colicos in the first two seasons and James Blendick for the remainder of the series. This version is an immortal and invincible megalomaniac who seeks to purge the world of humanity and mutants before remaking it in his image and possesses the additional ability to enlarge himself. Throughout the series, he makes several attempts to instigate a war between humanity and mutants while his subordinate Mystique brainwashes select mutants to become his Horsemen, only to be foiled by the X-Men, Archangel, and the time-travellers Bishop and Cable throughout the first three seasons. In the four-part fourth season finale "Beyond Good and Evil", Cable destroys Apocalypse's Lazarus Chamber, the source of his immortality, but Apocalypse ends up in the Axis of Time and sets out to achieve godhood and destroy time. Despite being foiled by Professor X and the universe's most powerful psychics, Apocalypse ends up in the astral plane and eventually reincarnates himself in Fabian Cortez's body in the fifth season.
- Apocalypse appears in X-Men: Evolution, voiced by David Kaye. This version was abandoned as a baby before he was found by Baal's tribe of bandits, named "En Sabah Nur", and grew up to become a powerful warrior. After the Pharaoh Rama-Tut learned of Nur's power and slaughtered the bandits, the latter's full powers manifested, leading to him killing Rama-Tut's forces, renaming himself "Apocalypse", and taking the pharaoh's pyramid-like vessel and a device within it called the Eye of Ages. Using it to empower himself further, he intended to use it turn all humans on Earth into mutants, but was sealed in the vessel by his high priests for fear of his power. In the present, Apocalypse makes telepathic contact with Mesmero and tasks the latter with freeing him. Eventually, Mesmero succeeds in freeing Apocalypse, who fuses with the vessel's futuristic technology, converts Magneto, Professor X, Storm, and Mystique into his Horsemen, and re-sets about fulfilling his plan. Ultimately, the X-Men, the Brotherhood of Bayville, and S.H.I.E.L.D. join forces to stop him, free his thralls, and send him far from Earth.
- Apocalypse makes non-speaking cameo appearances in Wolverine and the X-Men.
- En Sabah Nur / Apocalypse makes a cameo appearance in the X-Men '97 episode "Tolerance is Extinction" Pt. 3, voiced by Adetokumboh M'Cormack and Ross Marquand respectively.
