Fictional character biography

Holocaust, originally known as Nemesis, ["X-Men Chronicles" #1] is the son of Apocalypse and also served as one of his Four Horsemen in the Age of Apocalypse timeline. His physical form, nearly destroyed by Magneto, is contained in a crystalline armor of phasing and shapeshifting properties. During the final battle in the Age of Apocalypse, Holocaust was transported into the main Marvel universe by the M'Kraan Crystal ["X-Men Omega"] . There, he continued to fight his archenemy, Nate Grey (who also had been transported from The Age of Apocalypse reality) while also acting as an agent for the psionic entity Onslaught. ["X-Man" #15-17-44] Holocaust is later forced to join the time-traveling group of superheroes known as the Exiles, but is eventually killed by the genocidal version of Hyperion. ["Exiles" #60-62]
