Apocalypse in X-Men was revealed as to why he wore body armor in the first place. The armor would keep him fit to contain every energy he sought. During the Twelve, he sought to use Nate Grey's body to become his new vessel considering his ancient body could no longer hold the energies of "The Twelve". Considering he is thousands of years old, he's basically an undead mutant having a cybernetic facelift to contain more power, so it's not all that surprising to what he really was... a man who was decaying from within.
Apocalypse' origins are similar to Mumm-Ra in Thundercats. Both characters manage to extend their lives via hibernation, except Mumm-Ra used occult powers while Apocalypse used the technology of the Celestials. Both characters were from Ancient Egypt, they extended their lives and were overly dependent on regeneration process. Apocalypse took the machine of the Celestials to adapt to a modern age. But you cannot deny, they both have decayed forms that may perish along with them.
