Sequels Who do you want for the four horsemen?

[DrChronic]

Superhero HYPErthetically if the new x-men trilogy was to feature Apocaylpse or to the build of him, who would you like to see as the horsemen? New characters Or Ones we already know?

Here's my thoughts!

Gambit - as Death
Sunfire - as Famine
Polaris - as Pestilence
Archangel - as War

I know Archangel was actually death, but i feel Gambit would take a better lead. After reading blood of apocaylpse i figure Gambit would make a better leader, have archangel as the war character plus sunfire and polaris would make an interesting turn of advents.

 

[Johnny Israel]

id rather not have gambit involved with apocalypse, if at all possible.

 

[RagingTempest]

Archangel
Holocaust
Abyss
Sinister

 

[Johnny Israel]

Archangel
Holocaust
Abyss
Sinister

Yeah that would work for me.

 

[Infinitebass]

Straight from my own fan fic:

Omega Red-Pestilence
Havok-Death
Holocaust-War
Mystique-Famine

 

[Mistopurr83]

Angel - Death
Rogue - Pestilence
Mystique - Famine
Cyclops - War

Edit: On second thought I'd use Cyclops as a horseman to show he was not actually killed in X3.
This is one way to power up Rogue and Mystique again if their not written out of future sequels due to being depowered.

 

[GoldGoblin]

-Archangel
-Gambit
-Rogue
-Blob

 

[Cyclops]

Why do the Horsemen have to be particular characters? Remember when they were just the Horsemen? War was War, Pestilence was Pestilence, Famine was Famine and Death was Archangel.

 

[KingOfDreams]

Archangel
Mystique
Rogue

(not sure who I'd want for the 4th)

But the horsemen were never just horsemen, your thinking of the animated series but even then they were actually mutants with another alias.

The horsemen is actually part of apoycalyspe saga... the whole choosing. there are four parts to Apocalypse saga

1. History of Apocalypse - how he became from en sabre nuh to Apocalypse.
2. His Plyte - Survival of the Fittest
3. Choosing of the horsemen, In order for Apocalypse to achieve his plyte he needs others to help aid him, His personnel aid Ozmidias, sinister..ect. But the horsemen, he delves into sociaty and chooses the most disturbed or most subseptable characters to be warped into his reality. Hence why some of the big names have been horsemen. Gambit, Wolverine, Archangel, Hulk, Sunfire, Caliban, Polaris, plague, aybiss, holocast, mikhail...the list is endless.
4. Is the unlimited use of his power, like galactus, shadow king even phoenix, Apocaylpse has to have that unlimited use of power and undefeatable characteristics for him to work.

Actually, no, I'm thinking of the Simonson years on X-Factor when they first appeared. The horsemen, with the exception of Death, weren't pre-existing X-Men, they were just the Horsemen. War was War. Famine was Famine. Pestilince was Pestilince and that's that. I have the issues, I know what I'm talking about.

 

[DrChronic]

yeah but they wernt nobodies...

The first modern incarnation of the horsemen were mutants formerlly named something else, during x-factor, Pestilence was the mutant Plague a member of the morlocks who survived morlock massacre. War was Abraham Keiros who was an ex-soldier, Autumn Folfson was a skinny woman and death was Archangel... my point being is that Apocalpyse just doesnt choose anybody, firstly there powers must display some apocaylptic trait. Plague was a morlock, War was a soldier, autumn was a skinny woman, and Angel well he is the exception.

 

[storm-x-fan]

[Yellow Cyclone]

Angel - Death
Rogue - Pestilence
Mystique - Famine

exactly what i'd do, i like how you think

and screw the who ozi crap, and replace him with sinister

 

[javphonic]

Death--Cyclops
Pestilence--Pestilence
Famine--Storm
War--Angel

 

[Mistopurr83]

Thanx. The main reason I think Angel, Mystique, Rogue and Cylcops should become horsemen in an X4 is b/c it would make up for the all the action, progression and development they missed out on in X3. Not only will this advance their powers, they will definitely be in a final battle or fight. That would make their fans feel pleased with them after the way they were mistreated and shafted in X3.

Here's a brief story concept I have in mind on how they become the four horsemen...

First, Cylcops' dead corpse is found by Apocolypse in disguise. Apocolypse sees Cyclops is not all dead so he heals his body with his transformation machine, but at the same time alters his mind and appearance and makes him a horseman.

Second, human Mystique approaches Apocolypse, asks for her powers to be restored and she accepts the position as a horseman b/c she was abandoned by the BOEM. Mystique puts herself on the machine, turns back into a mutant, but this time she's more like the comic Mystique and no longer has chameleon-like agility.

Third, Rogue was sent home after taking the cure and shortly after she returns she's set up and captured by Mystique in disguise, brought to Apocolypse and not only has her absorbing power restored and mind and appearance altered on his machine; she now has the additional abilites of flight, super strength and invulnerability.

Fourth, Angel decides he doesn't want to remain at Xavier's school so he goes out and considers getting his wings removed. When he goes out, he too is set up and captured by Mystique in disguise. Angel then comes off Apocolypse's machine with his mind and appearance altered. He now has metallic wings and an additional ability.

I feel this is the only way we'll get to see Angel and Cylcops play major parts in a storyline for X4.

Right, but they aren't all X-Men is MY point. They were there to be the Horsemen and that's it. They weren't there to be former X-Men to inevitably betray their master.

 

[The Ones]

Death--Wolverine
Pestilence--Professer X
Famine--Magneto
War--Phoenix

 

[Walks Unseen]

They should have Wolverine getting the adamatium pulled out of his body in X4 or the Wolverine film then he should become a horsmen and get the adamatium back, just like in the books.

 

[04nbod]

but then wolverine would be the centre of the story again and thats the last thing X4 needs-

death- rogue(kiss of death would be very cool)
war- cyclops(powers based on destruction)
pestilence- archangel
famine- mystique

True. The last thing X4 needs is Wolverine as the main character again.

 

[Mistopurr83]

Death--Wolverine
Pestilence--Professer X
Famine--Magneto
War--Phoenix

I don't see them becoming horsemen in the films. I can see Wolverine as Death but that would just make him the same boring main character again, which is totally uncalled for. Along with them I also can't see characters like Iceman, Kitty, Colossus, Storm, or Beast becoming horsemen b/c they don't have the potential to.

IMO the four horsemen have to be the characters that were sidelined in X3.

 

[WorthyStevens]

Why do the Horsemen have to be particular characters? Remember when they were just the Horsemen? War was War, Pestilence was Pestilence, Famine was Famine and Death was Archangel.

I have to agree. Really, this is Angel's own arc. If other X-Men were made into the three other Horsemen, it takes away from what made that arc so great.

If this storyline were to be made, - X-Men wise - Angel and only Angel should be made into a Horseman. I would be pretty pissed otherwise.

 

[EnSabahNur]

If i ever get to writing my script for x4 i have reasons for all of my list becoming Horsemen.

I had:

Cyclops
Mystique
Caliban
Angel

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Archangel
Plague
Abraham Kieros
Autumn.
