Contents: Apocalypse (II) and Apocalypse (III). (Apocalypse (III) only for expert mode.) Apocalypse, Prelates, and Standard sets. Two modular sets (Dark Riders and Infinites).

Setup: Set aside each unused villain card, each Prelate minion, and The Tyrant's Throne side scheme. Reveal the Heart of the Empire side scheme. The first player reveals a random, set-aside Prelate minion.

X is the numeral in Apocalypse's printed hit point value.

Forced Interrupt: When Apocalypse would be defeated, discard each attachment from him and heal all damage from him instead. Remove X threat from this scheme (ignoring any crisis () icons).
