Apocalypse Twice

So X-Men: Apocalypse and the third season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are basically the same story, right? The very first mutant/inhuman (and the most powerful one ever), who has survived for thousands of years by transferring his consciousness from body to body, is revived by a mysterious cult, whereupon he begins corrupting other mutants/inhumans into joining his army, exploiting their need for belonging and their alienation from human society, and promising to bring peace to the world under his mind-control hegemony.

Oh wait, there’s one important difference: one of them has blue skin, while the other one was merely created by people with blue skin.
