Apocalypse "Only the Strong Remain" + Ally Beams

[JerBear_IRL]

When an allied character makes a beam attack that would also hit Apocalypse would his "Only the Strong Remain" Ability activate? It states "After an attack against this target" It does not however say an enemy attack. Is it safe to assume that when hit by a friendly beam attack, even though its only doing one damage, its still an attack on Apocalypse? 

From Beam Attack in core rule book "Beam attacks are a special kind of attack that damages all characters--allied as well as enemy... Allied characters in range of a beam Attack suffer 1 damage but do not suffer other effects of the Attack"

Page 15 of the rulebook covers this:

Quote

A character can never make an attack without a target and can
never choose an allied character to be the target of its attack.

Apocalypse cannot be targeted by an allied attack. Only the Strong Remain cannot trigger.
