Rewatching - Anyone confused with Apocalypse wanting Xaviers body?


I get he wants the power. But he's also trading in an immortal body (with the healing factor) for one that will eventually become frail and useless. Wouldn't it have been prudent to find a way to control Charles instead of inhabiting him?

Just sayin

I thought when Apocalypse possessed the body he converted it into his weird blue self. Didn't he have to regenerate into a new body every so often, regardless of which body it was...? But there were a lot of powers in this movie that I thought weren't explained properly and/or were inconsistent throughout.

His legs would have heal since Apocalypse has regenerative abilities.

They indicated he must change bodies every time he gained new powers. So I would guess the blue body is not his original form either.

It's shown at the beginning that he becomes his powerful blue form again after absorbing a person. Same thing there at the end.
