Spoilers ahead
In 3600 BC, the formidable mutant En Sabah Nur (Oscar Isaac), known as the first of his kind, rules over ancient Egypt. As his health declines with age, he faces the looming specter of death. Nur possesses formidable destructive powers, such as Telekinesis, Cyberpathy, teleportation, and the unique ability to amplify the powers of other mutants.
During a pivotal ceremony, Nur attempts to transfer his consciousness into a younger mutant’s body, seeking to gain his healing factor for immortality. However, betrayal strikes as conspirators cut his sunlight access, halting the process prematurely. This results in the tragic demise of his followers and his own entombment within a collapsing pyramid. Just before his death, one loyal follower secures Nur’s new body in a protective casket, shielding it from the falling debris.
