Linked to the powers of time and space, wielded by Bishop and Rasputin, respectively. The power of pure thought that is Xavier. As above so below. As without, so within. And as you die, one by one... I shall rise as the sun, at the heart of this new universe. All your power will flow into me --through me --through the new Ra, ultimately, the be-all and end-all to come! And you, young Nate --and the unequaled unlimited forces at your command-- play the most crucial role of all in my final design...!

-- Apocalypse
