Harbinger of Apocalypse


The Harbinger of Apocalypse is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appears in "Cable" #50, and was created by writer James Robinson and artist José Ladrönn. In 1859, the immortal mutant Apocalypse during his time in London decided that he would need a superpowered agent in the 20th century and imprisoned an unnamed human in a special coffin. Inside the coffin, this man would be transformed by Apocalypse's Celestial technology into the Harbinger of Apocalypse. In the late 20th century,

the Hellfire Club found out about the existence of the Harbinger and intended to use it to track down Apocalypse for the Hellfire Club's exploitation. Cable tried to stop the Hellfire Club, but he was too late and the Harbinger awoke. The Harbinger defeated the Hellfire Club and disappeared, but Cable tracked him down. The Harbinger told Cable that his programming dictated that he should bring destruction and chaos to the world, but he wanted to judge humanity himself before obeying. Some time later, the Harbinger reappeared in Manhattan and decided

The bomb exploded over the Atlantic Ocean, killing the Harbinger, but Cable was saved by a group of time travellers. The Harbinger had the ability to adapt to any attack used against him. During his

, even within one's own lifetime. Apocalyptic fiction does not portray catastrophes, or disasters, or near-disasters that do not result in apocalypse. A "threat" of an apocalypse does not make a piece of fiction apocalyptic. For example, "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" are considered disaster films and not apocalyptic fiction because, although earth and/or human-kind are terribly threatened, in the end they manage to avoid destruction.
