For as long as Apocalypse has been a threat, and sometimes ally, to the X-Men, he has also been one of their most fascinating characters. This is the consequence of living such a long and storied life. Part of what makes Apocalypse so engaging is that he always surrounds himself with the most powerful mutants of whatever age he finds himself in. Often times, these mutants become his vanguard and personal enforcers: the Horsemen of Apocalypse. Each mutant represented the same figures from religious texts: Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death.Recently have fans discovered why Apocalypse chose such a thematic name for his most dangerous soldiers. On one hand, they strike fear into the hearts of many who recognize what the symbolism means, but there is a more personal touch behind this fanciful dressing. As it turns out, Apocalypse chose these names to honor his lost children, who he never thought he would see again. What once spoke to Apocalypse’s brutal and harsh ways, now reveals that even he is human. Even though he may be a brutal warlord, Apocalypse feels things deeply, and any children he had would be treasured above all else, to the point where he turned their names into a weapon to terrorize his foes.Apocalypse originally had four children with his wife, Genesis. Each child was named for how their mutant ability manifested. Thus, his children became known to the world as Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. Their names also represented what mutantkind had conquered. No needed fear pestilence, war, famine, or death any longer. Such afflictions had been eradicated. Each of Apocalypse’s children was a powerful mutant in their own right, and they became the first iteration of his horsemen, protecting their homeland of Okkara. Unfortunately, this mutant country was not meant to last.RELATED: Apocalypse’s Family Has Finally Returned And It Might Doom Arrako
