Not an actual update, but a full list of characters, including their finale fates, for anyone wishing to find out without reading through that mess of a story.
The X-Men
Name: Erik Magnus Lehnsherr (Magneto)
Affiliation: The X-Men
Powers: Capable of manipulating magnetic fields and in effect, control metal itself
Known Relatives: Magda Lehnsherr (wife), Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch (children)
Place of Birth: Poland
History: Magnus was a close friend of Professor Charles Xavier, and together they did research on genetics and the emergence of mutants. They hadn't even begun to formulate their theories on human reaction when a time-traveler (later revealed to be Shifter) appeared and killed Xavier. In memory of his friend, Magneto took his research and formed the X-Men. While his daughter Wanda became the field leader, his son Pietro resented him due to a misunderstanding and left to join Wolverine, along with a few other X-Men. Magneto was a strict man and could be cold and sometimes almost fanatical, but he wasn't evil, and acted in the interests of others.
Fate: Magneto merged with Proteus, and there, he shared his knowledge with the infant mutant.
Name: Wanda Lehnsherr (Scarlet Witch, later the Horseman of Pestilence)
Affiliation: The X-Men, later made a Horseman of Apocalypse (Red Army)
Powers: Capable of affecting probability fields and cause unlikely phenomena to occur
Known Relatives: Magneto (father), Magda Lehnsherr (mother), Quicksilver (brother)
Place of Birth: Somewhere in Europe, but moved to New York at a very young age
History: Wanda was a calm, mature girl who followed in the footsteps of her father, Magneto, and became his second-in-command in the X-Men. Wanda followed orders for the most part and was annoyed by irrational people, which didn't explain her feelings for Scott Darkholme. Unfortunately, they never had a chance to act on those feelings.
Fate: Wanda survived the entire ordeal, but this persona was destroyed when time was shifted back to normal.
Name: Forge (real name unrevealed)
Affiliation: The X-Men
Powers: Capable of conceiving and building new technology
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: Forge is a middle-aged man who works as the X-Men's general tech guy. Though he can create powerful weapons from scratch, he is not an active member of the X-Men and prefers to stay at the Institute and work with his gadgets. Forge and Magneto weren't close, but Magneto did appreciate having another adult to talk to every now and then.
Fate: Forge was strangled by a Sentinel whipcord wrapped around his neck by an enemy mutant (Thunderbird).
Name: Alex Summers (Havok, later the Horseman of Famine)
Affiliation: The X-Men, later made a Horseman of Apocalypse (Blue Army)
Powers: Capable of firing blasts of energy in centralized beams or in wide bursts
Known Relatives: Scott Darkholme (brother)
Place of Birth: St. Louis, Missouri
History: Alex Summers and his older brother Alex were the sole survivors of a plane accident that was caused by Alex's out-of-control powers. Though Alex knew it was an accident, Scott would blame him for years. Eventually Alex was adopted by Magneto while Scott was adopted by Mystique. Alex sees Magneto as something of a father, and even tries to act like him at times.
Fate: When Rogue was drawn into Proteus's energy field, Alex tried to hold her back, but he was drawn in and they both merged with Proteus.
Name: Jean Grey (Converse)
Affiliation: The X-Men
Powers: Capable of telekinesis, as well as mild (and uncontrolled) telepathy
Known Relatives: Mastermind (father), Toad (brother)
Place of Birth: Unknown; adopted by a family in Connecticut
History: Jean Grey is the daughter of Mastermind and sister of Toad. Though she never discusses her life before her adoption, it's clear that she never got along with her father, to say the least. When Mastermind abandoned them, Jean was adopted by the Grey family and Toad was adopted by Mystique. Jean was never close to Toad, and she grew to hate him simply because of his relation to Mastermind. Jean has always had a bad attitude, which made her relationship with Freddy Dukes seem even stranger. Jean and Toad eventually settled their differences and joined together to defeat their father.
Fate: After witnessing Freddy's death, Jean was killed by her own uncontrolled power when she destroyed the tower beneath her.
Name: Freddy Dukes (Stalwart)
Affiliation: The X-Men
Powers: Super-strength as well as durable skin and fat-like cells
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Lubbock, Texas
History: Freddy Dukes never looked very normal, but with reality altered and mutants becoming dominant, it didn't matter. Freddy is a self-confident, mature and insightful man, which goes against his brute-like appearance. He's romantically involved with Jean Grey and usually has to bring her back to reality when her temper gets the best of her.
Fate: Freddy was heavily injured by Nightcrawler; upon deciding to return to battle, Nightcrawler fatally mauled him.
Name: Kate Pryde (Ariel)
Affiliation: The X-Men
Powers: Capable of phasing molecules, effectively moving through solid matter
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Northbrook, Illinois
History: Kate Pryde was traumatized when her childhood friend Lance Alvers mysteriously became evil and tried to kill her one day. She eventually ended up with the X-Men, but she rarely participated in missions and spent most of her time brooding and mumbling to herself. Jean Grey took pity on her and acted as an older sister to her, one of the rare times where Jean's fiery personality was calmed. Lance's sudden return to normal instilled some sense into her, but it was short-lived.
Fate: Kate was crushed by the tower that collapsed under Jean Grey's uncontrolled power.
The Darkholme Brotherhood
Name: Raven Darkholme (Mystique)
Affiliation: The Darkholme Brotherhood, later allied with the X-Men
Powers: Capable of changing her form to resemble any other person or animal
Known Relatives: Nightcrawler, Rogue (children) Scott, Toad (adoptive children)
Place of Birth: Unknown; possibly Eastern Europe
History: Though little is known of Mystique's early life, she is clearly not an evil person during the Age of Apocalypse. She is still greatly independent, but she is devoted to her family. Her son Kurt and daughter Marie were never taken from her, and she adopted two more outcast children. She has ties to Magneto and the X-Men, but is not very eager to join their crusade or put her family in danger.
Fate: Mystique was mauled to death by her own son, a transformed and brainwashed Nightcrawler.
Name: Scott Darkholme (no codename)
Affiliation: The Darkholme Brotherhood, later allied with the X-Men
Powers: Capable of firing force-blasts from his eyes
Known Relatives: Mystique (adoptive mother), Nightcrawler, Rogue, Toad (adoptive siblings), Havok (brother)
Place of Birth: St. Louis, Missouri
History: Scott Summers and his brother Alex were the sole survivors of a plane accident, which Alex was partially responsible for. Alex was adopted by Magneto while Scott was adopted by Mystique. Scott held a grudge against his brother for his parents' death and his hard life in the orphanage. Scott gets along well with his new family, but he is very independent and difficult to control. He has feelings for Magneto's daughter, Wanda, but is reluctant to act on them.
Fate: Scott survived the entire ordeal, but this persona was destroyed when time was shifted back to normal.
Name: Marie Darkholme (Rogue)
Affiliation: The Darkholme Brotherhood, later allied with the X-Men
Powers: Capable of absorbing the powers and memories of others through skin contact
Known Relatives: Mystique (mother), Nightcrawler (brother) Scott, Toad (adoptive brothers)
Place of Birth: Meridian, Mississippi
History: Due to the distortion of time and reality, Marie was born to Mystique, rather than adopted. She kept many of her memories because she rarely absorbed the memories of anyone else, and her demeanor was much calmer as a result. While allied with the X-Men, she grew attracted to Havok, though she was often reminded that Havok was Scott's biological brother. Their mutual feelings never had a chance to fully develop.
Fate: After absorbing the mind-controlling "sparks" of several of Apocalypse's horsemen, Rogue was forcibly taken by Proteus and merged with him.
Name: Kurt Darkholme (known as Nightcrawler after his transformation)
Affiliation: The Darkholme Brotherhood, briefly allied with the X-Men and later made a servant of Apocalypse
Powers: Capable of teleportation; further mutation turned him into a lion/wolf-like beast with blue fur
Known Relatives: Mystique (mother), Rogue (sister) Scott, Toad (adoptive brothers)
Place of Birth: Unknown, possibly Bayville
History: Kurt was never separated from his mother, who was more docile when she had a family. Kurt had no accent and liked to wear black, but otherwise was very similar to the original Kurt, though he is more proud to be a mutant. He was captured by Apocalypse and subjected to an advancement that transformed him into a mindless and bizarrely powerful monster, one who couldn't even recognize his own mother, much less stop himself from killing her.
Fate: Nightcrawler was killed by a fatal blow to the head from Colossus.
Name: Todd Darkholme (Toad)
Affiliation: The Darkholme Brotherhood, later allied with the X-Men
Powers: Increased leg strength, long tongue, capable of producing sticky green slime
Known Relatives: Mystique (adoptive mother), Scott, Rogue, Nightcrawler (adoptive siblings), Jean Grey (sister), Mastermind (father)
Place of Birth: Unknown; left in orphanage in New York
History: Toad, along with Jean Grey, was fathered by Mastermind. Little is known about their life with him, except that they both hate him enough to wish his death. At some point, Mastermind abandoned them both and they were given to separate families. Toad was adopted by Mystique, whereas Jean was adopted by the Grey family, and for strange reasons, grew to loathe Toad as well. Toad was very close to his new family, and felt very confident around them. Jean and Toad eventually settled their differences and joined together to defeat their father.
Fate: After killing Mastermind, Toad accidentally jumped off the tower. When Jean tried to catch him, she was distracted by Wolverine, and Toad fell to his death.
X-Force
Name: Jack Logan (Wolverine)
Affiliation: X-Force, later revealed to be a servant of Apocalypse (Red Army General)
Powers: Enhanced senses and healing factor, retractable claws; further mutation added extremely strong bones and a faster healing factor
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Northern Canada
History: Logan was a member of the Canadian Special Forces when he was captured by the Weapon X project. He managed to escape, but after that, his life story is largely unknown. He eventually found Magneto, who offered him a place among the X-Men. Wolverine's ideals didn't fit Magneto's and he split from the X-Men, taking a few students with him, including Quicksilver, and forming X-Force along with an "old friend," Mastermind. However, it seems that at some point between his escape and his days with the X-Men, Wolverine became a slave to Apocalypse, and he would betray both the X-Men and his own X-Force for the honor of his master.
Fate: After discovering that Archangel was a traitor, Wolverine rushed at him, only to be swiftly decapitated.
Name: Jason Wyngarde (Mastermind)
Affiliation: X-Force, later revealed to be a servant of Apocalypse
Powers: Capable of projecting illusions into the minds of others; further mutation allowed greater mental control with minimal concentration
Known Relatives: Jean Grey (daughter), Toad (son)
Place of Birth: Unknown, but believed to be Italy
History: Mastermind's life is mostly unknown, except that he had two children, who he apparently abused and abandoned. Sometime after this (or possibly before, it's not clear), he became a servant of Apocalypse and was teamed up with Wolverine, who lured several of Magneto's students into a new team called X-Force. Though most of X-Force became slaves to Apocalypse, their primary target, Quicksilver, got away. Mastermind was later advanced by Apocalypse as part of a sinister trap for the human army.
Fate: Despite Mastermind's illusions, Toad kicked him off a tower with Jean's telepathic help.
Name: Pietro Lehnsherr (Quicksilver)
Affiliation: X-Force, later an ally of the X-Men
Powers: Capable of moving and thinking at high speed
Known Relatives: Magneto (father), Magda Lehnsherr (mother), Scarlet Witch (sister)
Place of Birth: Somewhere in Europe, but moved to New York at a very young age
History: Due to a mistaken belief that Magneto's selfish actions cost his mother her life, Pietro grew up resenting his father and rejecting his ideals. Though he was never officially an X-Man, he reluctantly lived at the Institute until the rogue X-Man Wolverine decided to form a new team, which Quicksilver gladly joined. Unfortunately, it was all an elaborate trap to lure Magneto into Apocalypse's control. Though their personalities were similar, Quicksilver and Scott Darkholme had a bizarre partnership that kept them both equally annoyed of each other.
Fate: Pietro survived the entire ordeal, but this persona was destroyed when time was shifted back to normal.
Name: Remy LeBeau (Gambit)
Affiliation: X-Force, later a servant of Apocalypse
Powers: Capable of charging objects with explosive energy
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: New Orleans, Louisiana
History: Gambit was among the X-Men students that left with Wolverine. Unfortunately, it was all a trap, and Gambit became a servant of Apocalypse. He kept his free will, and was forced to work for Apocalypse under pain of death. Unlike the rest of X-Force, Gambit decided that it was more to his advantage to work for Apocalypse than it was to fight him.
Fate: Killed when an optic blast from Scott sent him right into a few of his own charged cards, which had been floating around.
Name: Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane)
Affiliation: X-Force, later a servant of Apocalypse, and later again an ally of the X-Men
Powers: Capable of transforming into a wolf
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Scotland
History: Rahne Sinclair was among the X-Men students that left with Wolverine. Unfortunately, it was all a trap, and Rahne became a servant of Apocalypse. She kept her free will, and was forced to work for Apocalypse under pain of death. She eventually decided to go against Apocalypse, though she wasn't very useful in the battle against him. She has a crush on her teammate, Quicksilver.
Fate: Rahne survived the entire ordeal, but this persona was destroyed when time was shifted back to normal.

Affiliation: X-Force, later a servant of Apocalypse, and later again an ally of the X-Men
Powers: Capable of jet-propulsion, limited invulnerability while in flight
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Guthrie Farm in Kentucky
History: Cannonball was among the X-Men students that left with Wolverine. Unfortunately, it was all a trap, and Cannonball became a servant of Apocalypse. He kept his free will, and was forced to work for Apocalypse under pain of death. He eventually decided to go against Apocalypse, though he wasn't very useful in the battle against him. Cannonball's face was heavily scarred from early manifestations of his power and he wore thick armor as a security blanket more than anything else.
Fate: Cannonball merged with Proteus.
Apocalypse's Forces

Affiliation: Himself
Powers: The full extent of Apocalypse's powers are unknown, but he is apparently capable of some form of telekinesis, levitation, and limited control over energy.
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Lower Egypt
History: Released several years early by Dr. Nathaniel Essex, Apocalypse wasted no time in spreading his influence. Though he mainly used manipulation as his weapon, he was believed to be the most powerful mutant alive. He was the one who had sent Shifter back in time to alter history, and years after his release, he began searching for a young mutant that, in the original timeline, would grow more powerful than himself.
Fate: Apocalypse's life-force was drained and absorbed by Proteus.
Name: Warren Worthington III (Archangel, the Horseman of Death)
Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse (Horsemen, Black Army), secretly a traitor and ally of the X-men
Powers: Original mutation of feathered wings has been lost; early experimentation produced enhanced speed, strength and mental ability. Metallic wings entirely non-mutant in origin.
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: New York City
History: Kidnapped and forced into service, Archangel somehow retained his free will after Mesmero's brainwashing, but neither he nor Apocalypse noticed. Archangel used this to his advantage by working as an inside agent while he relayed information to his old friends, Callisto and Caliban. It was Archangel who fooled Apocalypse into believing that the infant Proteus was not in the Tibetan village, buying enough time for the X-Men to find the child and keep him away from Apocalypse's grasp.
Fate: Archangel merged with Proteus.
Name: Ororo Monroe (Storm, the Horseman of War)
Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse (Horsemen, White Army)
Powers: Capable of sensing and manipulating weather

Powers: Capable of geological manipulation
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Montana, but moved to Northbrook Illinois at a very young age
History: Lance was taken by Apocalypse fairly early in his life and turned into an unthinking killer, which caused much trauma to his childhood friend Kate Pryde. Eventually, Rogue absorbed the "spark" that kept him under Apocalypse's control, and he used his knowledge to help the X-Men.
Fate: Lance was crushed by the tower that collapsed under Jean Grey's uncontrolled power.
Name: Hank McCoy (Beast)
Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse
Powers: Enhanced strength, agility and dexterity
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Deerfield, Illinois
History: Beast's history is mostly unknown, except that he has been in Apocalypse's service since his release. Beast serves Apocalypse willingly, but it is unknown if Beast is truly evil or if his mind was somehow corrupted by outside forces. Beast developed the advancement technology based on Magneto's enhancing device, which harnessed the power of Cyttorak gems to activate the full potential of mutants. The advancement device takes the process a step further and amplifies their abilities beyond even their own potential, but Beast never had a chance to fully perfect it.
Fate: Though Beast ran out of his lab on fire after a battle with Pyro, whether he survived or not is unknown, but in any case, this version of him was most likely destroyed when time was shifted back to normal... but you never know.
Name: Roberto DaCosta (Sunspot)

Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse
Powers: Capable of generating electrical blasts
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: Little is known about Berzerker outside of his involvement with Apocalypse, except that he was under Mesmero's direct control.

Name: Mesmero (real name unknown)
Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse
Powers: Capable of mentally controlling others
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: Mesmero is as mysterious as the rest of Apocalypse's minions, but what is known is that Mesmero was a mutant slaver, taking control of mutants who would not willingly cooperate with Apocalypse and using them as slaves.
Fate: When Apocalypse saw that his field leader Archangel was a traitor and that he was slowly losing the battle in Egypt, he thought of Mesmero as useless and expendable, and killed him by twisting all of his joints and snapping them in the wrong direction.
Name: Irene Adler (Destiny)
Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse, secretly a traitor and ally of the X-Men
Powers: Capable of seeing the future
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: Destiny is an old friend (perhaps something more) of Mystique, though they have not seen each other in years. Scott Darkholme and Quicksilver found her, and she gave them crucial information, against orders from Apocalypse to lie to them.

The Irish Morlock Estate
Name: Callisto
Affiliation: Allied with Apocalypse, secretly a traitor and ally of the X-Men
Powers: Enhanced senses and agility, as well as night-vision
Known Relatives: Caliban (husband)
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: Callisto's early life is a mystery, but she is wealthy and married to Caliban. Apocalypse offered them protection in exchange for their loyalty and any service they could provide (a move that still puzzles people), but their agreement meant that their protection was nullified the moment humanity was wiped out. Friends of Archangel, Juggernaut and Sabretooth, they worked together to help the X-Men overthrow Apocalypse. Callisto is a natural leader with an insightful mind.
Fate: In an effort to keep the X-Men from learning any more, Apocalypse stopped Callisto and Caliban's hearts.

Fate: In an effort to keep the X-Men from learning any more, Apocalypse stopped Caliban and Callisto's hearts.

Powers: Super-strength and near-invulnerability
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: California
History: Half-brother of the later Charles Xavier, Dr. Marko never settled his grudge against his brother, but eventually became more docile, partly because as Xavier's only living relative, he had his brother to thank for his inherited wealth. Juggernaut is an archaeologist and was once a colleague of Dr. Nathaniel Essex, and together they discovered the secrets of Apocalypse's tomb. Unfortunately, it was Dr. Essex who freed Apocalypse, and Juggernaut worked with Caliban and Callisto to stop him, retaining Dr. Essex's journal, where he had written down everything he discovered about Apocalypse.
Fate: Juggernaut was electrocuted by Storm.

They spent most of their time simply destroying stuff, but when they met Scott Darkholme and Wanda Lehnsherr, they became involved in the war against Apocalypse. After a battle with Iceman, Pyro lost his right hand and was fitted with a flamethrower in its place. Pyro worked with the X-Men to defeat Apocalypse. Though a little odd in the head, Pyro is a good person with a strange sense of humor and a destructive nature. Pyro and Tabby have no actual romantic interest in each other, but nonetheless frequently engage in sexual activity.
Fate: Pyro survived the entire ordeal, but this persona was destroyed when time was shifted back to normal.
Name: Evan Daniels
Affiliation: Ally of the X-Men
Powers: Capable of creating bone-spikes and firing them
Known Relatives: Storm (aunt)
Place of Birth: New York
History: Evan Daniels's parents were killed by Apocalypse's human-hunting forces, and he went to live with his aunt Ororo. Unfortunately, she became one of Apocalypse's Horsemen and he was forced to live on the streets. He eventually met Pyro and Tabby, and they spent most of their time simply destroying stuff, but when they met Scott Darkholme and Wanda Lehnsherr, they became involved in the war against Apocalypse. Evan is pessimistic and depressive, and appears to be somewhat jealous of Pyro and Tabby's relationship.

They spent most of their time simply destroying stuff, but when they met Scott Darkholme and Wanda Lehnsherr, they became involved in the war against Apocalypse. Mesmero later took control of Tabby in order to use her against Magneto. Tabby only cares about having a good time, as evidenced by the fact that she and Pyro are sexually active despite having no romantic interest in each other.
Fate: After being controlled by Tabby, it is assumed that she remained a servant of Apocalypse, but the truth will never be known. If she indeed survived the entire ordeal, this version of her was destroyed either way when time was shifted back to normal.

Powers: Capable of creating exact physical duplicates of himself
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: Jamie Madrox lived on the streets and frequently encountered Evan Daniels, Pyro, and Tabby. It wasn't until Wanda Lehnsherr joined their group that they let him join, although they kept their eye on him. It turned out that Jamie was a sadist and a killer, despite his age. He was taken by Archangel to Callisto and Caliban, where he used military internet lines to find information on Trask's army for Apocalypse. While doing this, Callisto and Caliban had him use these lines to find other information, which they kept from Apocalypse.
Fate: Jamie convinced Paul McGregor to go back in time and change history, which he felt was the ultimate way of hurting those involved in the war against Apocalypse. He never lived to see their pain, as this persona was destroyed when time was shifted back to normal.

Affiliation: Pure Blood Movement
Powers: None; normal human
Known Relatives: None
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: Dr. Bolivar Trask was once a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., until he left to become a mutant hunter. It was well-known that Trask was a mutant-hating bigot, but when Apocalypse's forces began to hunt down humans, his old colleagues began to see his way as the right way and joined his anti-mutant crusade. Dr. Trask rallied the remaining members behind him and organized the Pure Blood Movement, a way of gathering human soldiers in his war against mutants. Dr. Trask eventually became General Trask, once the human army was strong enough, and he ordered the production of a Sentinel army, based on his own prototype. At some point during the early life of the Pure Blood Movement, Trask confronted Apocalypse and survived, leaving the battle only with a limp. It never occurred to him that Apocalypse had allowed him to live, nor that his organizing human troops would allow Apocalypse to kill a greater number of humans in less time.
Fate: Trask survived the entire ordeal, but this persona was destroyed when time was shifted back to normal.

Affiliation: Pure Blood Movement
Powers: None; normal human

Known Relatives: Unnamed mother, Apocalypse (adoptive father)
Place of Birth: Tibet
History: Apocalypse knew that Takla Sharwa, alias Proteus, would destroy him in the future, and decided to send back Shifter to alter time, and his younger self would take Proteus as his son, rather than an enemy. Apocalypse ordered his Horsemen to destroy the human village in Tibet where the child was born. Archangel left the child behind, claiming that he was not found. The X-Men later found him and took him in, and Magneto asked his old friend Mystique to watch after the child, who she named Kevin. After several battles, Apocalypse finally took the child, and using an alternate version of Shifter, generated enough energy to awaken his dormant powers. As Apocalypse had known the original Proteus to be a worthy adversary, he honored him by naming the child Proteus.
Fate: Proteus's final fate remains unclear; it is believed that he was elevated into a different form of existance after draining the energy of Apocalypse. Some believe that he may have even survived the altering of history through his reality-warping abilities, but the truth may never be known.
Name: Takla Sharwa (Proteus)
Affiliation: The X-Men
Powers: The full extent of Proteus's powers are unknown, but he is capable of draining and creating energy, and to some extent, the manipulation of reality itself
Known Relatives: Unnamed mother
Place of Birth: Tibet
History: In the original timeline, the war against Apocalypse forced Professor Xavier and Magneto to join forces. They recruited several new mutants when their original students were killed. Takla Sharwa, a Tibetan mutant, was among those recruited by Professor Xavier. He came to see Xavier as a mentor and father-figure, and when Apocalypse caused Xavier's death, Takla was enraged and attacked Apocalypse head-on. Though Apocalypse survived, he went into hiding, fearing Takla's power. Ironically, Takla abandoned Xavier's ideas in his quest for revenge and took the name Proteus, dedicating himself to finding Apocalypse and destroying him. Before he could, Apocalypse sent Shifter back in time to kill Professor Xavier and Magneto, who he saw as the source of his problems, and to tell his younger self about Proteus, so that he could be taken as an ally.
Fate: Though Proteus's persona was destroyed when Shifter altered history, it is unknown if the restored timeline will see this version of Proteus appear, or if he will take a new path in life.
Name: Private Paul McGregor (young Shifter)
Affiliation: Pure Blood Movement, later an ally of the X-Men
Powers: Capable of moving through time and space; essentially teleportation and time-travel
Known Relatives: "old" Shifter (time-displaced alternate self), the original Shifter (alternate, older self)
Place of Birth: Somewhere in England
History: Private McGregor was originally a member of Trask's army, and even had the important job of delivering the long-missing XT Sentinel plans to Trask. A random blood test revealed that McGregor was a mutant, though his powers had yet to truly manifest and he was completely unaware. Ironically, he became to first test subject for the XT Sentinel, but his powers were activated before he could be killed, and Trask mistook his disappearance for death. He was trapped in an interdimensional void until an alternate version of him, called Shifter, found him and explained his powers and history to him... it turned out that in the original timeline, McGregor was the original Shifter, a servant of Apocalypse who went back in time to kill Professor Xavier. McGregor trusted Shifter, who was himself a servant of Apocalypse, but he was ultimately betrayed.
Fate: McGregor survived the entire ordeal and went through time to stop his older self from killing Professor Xavier. It is unknown if this version of McGregor is still alive somewhere, or if his time-travel may have somehow cancelled out his existance.
Name: Shifter (no real name)
Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse, made a deal with Archangel and his rebels, but was ultimately loyal to Apocalypse
Powers: Capable of moving through time and space; essentially teleportation and time-travel
Known Relatives: The original Shifter (time-displaced alternate self), Paul McGregor (time-displaced alternate younger self)
Place of Birth: Unknown
History: In the original timeline, Shifter was Paul McGregor, a servant of Apocalypse who went back in time to kill Professor Xavier. His time-travel caused a distortion of reality, and one of the after-effects was the birth of an alternate Shifter who retained all of the original's memories. Due to a poor lifestyle, this Shifter was thin and sickly, but due to his memories he was loyal to Apocalypse. It was Shifter who told both Apocalypse and the rebels everything (but just what deal Archangel and Shifter had made remains a mystery). Part of his job was to retrieve the younger McGregor, and he gained his trust; however, he tricked him. McGregor's powers allowed him to generate enough energy to activate the dormant abilities of the infant Proteus.
Fate: Apocalypse already knew everything he needed to know, and as McGregor was not yet strong enough to generate the desired energy, he instead forced Shifter to give his life-energy to Proteus, sparing McGregor for later use.
Name: The Original Paul McGregor (Shifter)
Affiliation: Servant of Apocalypse
Powers: Capable of moving through time and space; essentially teleportation and time-travel
Known Relatives: Shifter (time-displaced alternate self), Paul McGregor (younger self)
Place of Birth: Somewhere in England
History: In the original timeline, Shifter was Paul McGregor, a servant of Apocalypse who went back in time and killed Professor Xavier using unmetal bullets. Magneto was unable to stop the bullets, but managed to kill Shifter.
Fate: Magneto drove a metal pin through his heart in an attempt to stop him from killing Xavier, but he was too late.
