The leader of the Horsemen, Apocalypse is a charismatic mutant who draws strength from the belief of others. With enough followers, he is nigh-invincible. Currently at large, presumed deceased
Born Kevin Tremain, a former Norwegian civil engineer whose mutant ability to control cities emerged and blacked out the entire city of Oslo for 24 hours. Blindly loyal to Apocalypse and utterly sadistic in his desire to crush what he sees as the corruption of humanity. His powers allow him total control over a city, to include urban terraforming, limited teleportation, and forming the very structure of the city into a weapon. Killed by Sarah Morlocke and Amanda Sefton
Dubbed the Hellhound, Caliban was a former Morlock who followed Apocalypse in order to gain revenge on humanity. A giant albino with enhanced strength and the ability to enthrall others through fear, as well as detect mutants, he searched out new followers for Apocalypse, while those who resisted were left to his cruel sport. Killed by Pete Wisdom.
Formerly known as Major Abraham Lincoln Kieros, a US Army Ranger whose mutant power of concussive explosion emerged during a firefight in Somalia, crippling him and leaving him an invalid in an iron lung. Apocalypse gave him the chance to strike back against the whole of humanity, whom he blamed for using him and discarding him. A physical powerhouse, he acted as the general of Apocalypse's armies, being enhanced with an empathic "fog of war", enabling him to whip nearby bystanders into a hostile rage. Currently in SHIELD custody.

Famine
A young girl by the name of Autumn Rolfson, she was discovered by Apocalypse after she attacked a United Nations food convoy, using her mutant power to rot organic material to ash. Enhanced somehow, her power evolved to the ability to drain energy from any source - electrical, chemical, or biological. Currently in SHIELD custody after being defeated by the New Mutants.
Clad in dull grey armor with an "Angel of Death" motif, the true identity of the Fourth Horseman was uncovered in a shocking revelation when Death was unmasked as a mind-controlled Alison Blaire. The details of how Apocalypse twisted her mind and powers to make her into his Horseman are still unknown, but her powers had been increased to incredibly destructive levels, as well as enabling her to form hard-light "wings" to fly with and protect herself. Currently recuperating on Muir Island.
