Sequels Apocalypse's Four Horsemen--Which characters?

I'd have preferred Havok not being used in FC, as he didn't seem like a major player - and I think there would have been potential in the brothers Summers interacting in any future X-Men films. (If you somehow retcon Scott's death - maybe involving Mr. Sinister?) I think Cyclops could be a much more central character in future sequels. There's his relationship with Madelyne Pryor to explore, as well as his sibling relationship with Alex.

I'd have it revealed in X4 that Scott isn't dead, due to Mr. Sinister. This is where Havok would enter - where Scott was in Xavier's "first class", Alex was in his "second." During an encounter with the Marauders Angel would have his wings damaged and amputated as in the comics, as a hint at what lies ahead. Prof X would recruit him in any rescue mission for Scott, despite the fact the two never bonded during their time together at the mansion. (I'd have Polaris cameo too as Havok's girlfriend, and have Storm mention to one of the 'newer' X-Men that Havok and Polaris were part of Xavier's second batch of students.)

Havok would be injured while rescuing his brother, and in X5 it could be shown that he had lost control of his powers - due to a mind block from Mr. Sinister, as they would have been touched upon during the first film. A doctor would visit him in hospital, telling him there's a clinic to help mutants like him. (Perhaps the doctor is Mystique, having been given her mutant abilities back by Apocalypse?)

Using this 'clinic' Apocalypse would transform Angel into Archangel and Havok into the Angel of War. Apocalypse lures Scott to his 'clinic' by having Havok send Scott an SOS message, and Cyclops attempts to return the favour and rescue his brother - with Polaris insisting on coming along too. (Why wouldn't she want to rescue her boyfriend?!) They'd ultimately be defeated and turned into the Angels of Famine and Pestilence.

This would leave the line-up looking like:

Death - Archangel
Famine - Cyclops
Pestilence - Polaris
War - Havok

Leaving the X-Men with a very serious threat, as all four horsemen were previously X-Men.

I'm aware it's not exactly the best of ideas but it's just something I've had knocking around in my head.
