Horsemen of Apocalypse
The Horsemen of Apocalypse are a team of supervillain characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Led by Apocalypse, they are loosely based on the Biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation, though its members vary throughout the canon.
Members of the Horsemen of Apocalypse appeared in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse.
The Horsemen of Apocalypse are first mentioned in X-Factor #10 (Nov. 1986), and make their full appearance in X-Factor #15 (April 1987) where they were created by writer Louise Simonson and artist Walt Simonson.
The first comic-book characters of this name were an unrelated team of aliens from the race known as the Axi-Tun that attacked Earth in ancient and modern times. They appeared in Giant Size Fantastic Four #3 (Nov. 1974).
The group consists of four individuals (usually mutants) that have been genetically altered and mentally conditioned to serve the ancient mutant, Apocalypse, either willingly or forcibly. They are enhanced or endowed with new abilities, and are always given the same titles based upon the biblical Four Horsemen Death, Famine, Pestilence (replacing the biblical Conquest), and War. While Apocalypse has empowered other individuals to do his bidding, the Four Horsemen remain his elite minions, always playing a key role in his plans.
Before Apocalypse assembled his first modern incarnation (according to date of real world publication) of Horsemen, it was revealed that there were other, lesser known groups of Horsemen.
Thousands of years ago, Apocalypse and his wife, Genesis, ruled the sentient island Okkara, home to a thriving mutant civilization. They had four children, each named after tribulations absent in their mutant paradise: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. They were raised to be warriors, often beaten by their mother for showing weakness. When they came of age, they formed the first Horsemen of Apocalypse and fought against the Brood in Ancient Egypt. When the forces of Annihilation from the dimension of Amenth invaded Earth and split Okkara into Krakoa and Arakko, the Horsemen, along with Genesis, the rest of the Okkaran mutants, and the newly created island of Arakko, were voluntarily sealed away in Amenth to stop the invasion while Apocalypse remained on Earth to build a mutant society strong enough to repel the Amenthi Daemons when they inevitably returned.
Having special fondness for the originals, Apocalypse assembled a new incarnation of the Horsemen during the 11th century and sent them to kill a pagan named Folkbern Logan in medieval London. To fill the role of Pestilence, Apocalypse recruited Phantom Bats of the Twelve Minds, a mutant that greatly resembles Orb with his arms replaced by wings which allowed him to fly and can perform the Red Stare that emits red bats that immolate anything it touches. For the role of Famine, Apocalypse had chosen a Native American female who rides an undead flying bear. For the role of War, Apocalypse had recruited a mutant that resembled a mummy and rode a skinless winged horse with bat-like wings. For the role of Death, Apocalypse recruited a mutant who seemed to possess a gas-like body which allowed him to fly and wears a robe and cloak that covers his entire body like the Grim Reaper. Thor comes to Folkbern's aid and kills the Horsemen of Apocalypse single-handedly.
