Former Members[]
- Angel/Warren Worthington III who went under the name Archangel. He was the first Death.
- Fabian Cortez was the fifth Horseman whose body was used to recreate Apocalypse.
History[]
Mystique, under orders of Apocalypse, brainwashed Angel and other three Mutants to become the Horsemen. During the Horsemen battle against the X-Men, Rogue absorbed Angel's evil brainwashing so he recovered his sanity, but the other three escaped.
The X-Men traveled to the past in order to destroy Apocalypse's Lazarus Chamber. The Horsemen, now wearing Egyptian garbs and led by a new Death, were guarding it.
Fabian Cortez was saved by Apocalypse and forced to become the fifth Horseman. Following Apocalypse's apparent death, Cortez led a cult to resurrect their master. When he failed to use Caliban for this purpose, Apocalypse recreated himself in Cortez's body.
Background[]
