Exploring The Four Horsemen In 'X-Men: Apocalypse'
When writer Louise Simonson and artist Jackson Guice created the villain Apocalypse, it didn't take long for the Four Horsemen to turn up. Fanatically devoted to En Sabah Nur, their powers enhanced beyond belief, the Four Horsemen are consistently portrayed as a deadly threat to the X-Men. Apocalypse — joining the ranks of the most powerful X-Men villains — recruits the strongest to his cause, transforms and enhances them, and then unleashes them on the X-Men! Although the name Apocalypse has more than one connotation, the Four Horsemen have always played a key role in any apocalyptic event.
