Apocalypse [AoA] Mutant God

Born 5000 years ago in Egypt, I was one of the oldest mutants in the world, an immortal who saw almost the whole of human history unfold. Born with apparent deformities on my face, I was abandoned by my tribe, but saved from death by Baal, leader of the Sandstormers, a group of bandits. Baal somehow recognized that I had powerful potential, and raised me as his own son. Named En Sabah Nur, I grew up to be stronger and smarter than his tribesmen and came to embrace Baal's notion of survival of the fittest. The Pharaoh of that era was actually not Egyptian at all, but a time-traveller named Rama-Tut who hailed from the 30th Century. (Rama-Tut knew that I was born in ancient Egypt, and actually traveled back to that time to find me and raise me as his own heir. Rama-Tut would later become known as Kang, and then as Immortus.) Baal and his people had found Rama-Tut when his timeship first crashed in Egypt, and had nursed him back to health, only to be betrayed by him months later, as Rama-Tut led the Egyptian army to slaughter Baal's tribe. On the day of my rite of passage, Baal and I got trapped in a cave, which after a week of wandering led us to Rama-Tut's timeship. Baal told me that he believed me to be a conqueror whose coming was foretold in ancient prophecies, and that I was destined to overthrow Rama-Tut. While Baal died, my mutancy allowed me to survive, and I emerged a month later and vowed vengeance on Rama-Tut. I became a slave to Tut, but during a vision of the god Seth I manifested my powers and was eventually brought to the Pharaoh. Rama-Tut offered to make me his heir in exchange for his loyalty, but I rejected him. I defeated the warlord Ozymandias, and when Rama-Tut was forced back to his time by 20th Century heroes who had time-travelled, I began a path of conquest across the globe, leading my army on vicious campaign after campaign, until finally I came to China. There I heard legends of a flying immortal and I went to investigate, theorizing that this legend "different" like myself. I ascended a mountain to find the External Saul, then known as Garbha-Hsien. Saul sat watch over a Celestial Ship that had crashed on the mountain long before, but he had never gone in. I thought Saul was stupid for not accessing the power inherent in that ship, so I knocked Saul out and went in. Some time afterwards, Cable, in his "Traveler" guise, came to the past and shot me in the head during a battle. However, some of Cable's techno-organic blood mixed with mine, and I was regenerated after a while. At some point while I was in Egypt, I began to reverse-engineer some of his ship and build matching components into a sphinx-shaped vessel. While I was doing that, the ship almost appeared to construct itself, and one day, a Celestial appeared on a screen and demanded my loyalty at some point in the future in exchange for the technology I was being allowed to use. I agreed. It is apparent that these events marked my "evolution" into Apocalypse. I stayed in the ship for a few thousand years, learning the secrets of Celestial technology and devising a bio-armor for myself, among other things. This armor appears to be part of my body and can change form, adding mass from some extra-dimensional source to increase in size, among other things. However, some of my original body did still exist as a discrete form inside the armor. I had some profound influences on many cultures over the centuries, and was worshipped by many as a god, with different names attached to me in each locale. Over the course of the centuries, I have has picked those individuals he deemed "strong" and has tested them and rewarded the survivors with power.
