Apocalypse recruits mutants to serve as his Four Horsemen. Apocalypse’s scheme is to unleash his Horsemen to destroy. Depending on what story line your reading will vary what mutants he recruits to wreak havoc. The group consists of four individuals (usually mutants) that have been genetically altered and brainwashed 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). The Four Horsemen remain his elite minions, always playing a key role in his plans. In a storyline he even revives Magneto, Storm, Mystique, and Professor X as his four horsemen with enhanced powers. In another storyline he recruits Hulk as War.
