Give Apocalypse Four New Horsemen

[HulkSmash666]

Apocalypse is on the hunt for four new Horsemen.

Who would make the perfect candidates for the job?

-Death
-War
-Famine
-Pestilence

Each horseman has to have at least some similar properties to their namesake, and you have to come up with a way that Apocalypse can improve upon them, as he does with all his Horsemen.


My choices:

Death - Sabretooth:
The only way I can see Creed returning from the dead is to have Apocalypse ressurect him using his Celestial tech and scientific know-how.
Enhancements include his adamantium skeleton and claws returned to him, his healing factor, strength, speed, and senses all enhanced, and some awesome new weapons.

War - Juggernaut:
What could be more awesome than seeing Juggernaut all pimped out with Apocalypse-tech and weapons, in addition to his mystical strength and invulnerability. Not a lot you can improve on physically, but mentally Juggernaut could be turned into an unhinged killing machine capable of laying waste to any army man can muster.

Famine - Sienna Blaze:
When was the last time this chick showed her face? Blaze's powers are able to effect natural phenomenoms that occur on Earth, via manipulating the elctromagnetic fields of the Earth. Every time she uses her power it rips huges chunks out of the electromagnetic field of the Earth, causing massive catastrophic damage to the natural surroundings. Once Apocalypse gets a hold of her, she can use her powers to literally bring nature to a halt. No food grows, massive storms and earthquakes hit populated areas, vegetation and livestock die and rot, and eventually, the Earth will be in the grip of a planet wide famine.

Pestilence - Omega Red:
Red's death-spore virus is a perfect weapon for Apocalypse to get his hands on, and with a little tweaking, and an uber-badass redesign to his look. Red's physical stats can get a boost, and his tendrils are given a few nasty little upgrades too. But it's his ability to release the death-spore virus on a much larger scale that makes Red the most dangerous of the Horsemen.

Love your choices, Hulk! Especially the inclusion of Siena Blaze! She's a force all on her own. But put those guys together and you got a serious threat.

[TJKernan]

-Death. Reaper (Pantu Hurageb). Kind of a perfect choice.

-War. Though I think the Captain America (Rogers) is brilliant, it is a little too unbecoming an icon. U.S. Agent on the other hand would be perfect here.

-Famine. I think Blob (Dukes) is utterly brilliant in this role.

-Pestilence. Swarm. that guy was made for this!

[AnkaleRa]

Death - Jean Grey:

War - Trance:

Famine - Blob:

Pestilence - Pixie:

That last one has just hatched ideas for fan art. Dear Lord.

[Bennet du Paris]

Death - Elixir

Famine - Threnody

War - Juggernaut

Pestilence - Leech


Giving Elixir a boost would be quite dangerous. In the "Quest for Magik" arc, he could regrow David's heart. So why not allow Elixir the ability to control life and death to some extent?

Threnody, while may be redundant on the death energy idea, could be a great choice. Giving her a boost would allow her body to metabolize those death energies for other uses such as increasing her speed, giving her invulnerability, strength, among other things. Her death charges would also be more dangerous and deadly. While he's at it, Apocalypse could possibly give her the ability to control the dead (as was hinted in X-Man when the zombies were going after her).

Juggernaut, with or without a power enhancement, would be a great War. He could easily stomp over anyone in his way. I'm not sure what power enhancement Apocalypse could give Juggernaut that he doesn't already have. I'll have to think on this one.

Leech was friends with Caliban, who was Apocalypse horseman a couple of times, so this would give a nod to that whole continuity factor of a Morlock being there. Apocalypse would bestow upon Leech the ability to control his power to negate the superhuman powers of others. Unlike now, which his power seems to only work on mutants, his negation would now work further. He could negate the powers of those like the Fantastic Four, the Inhumans, etc. He would also be granted the opposite of negation, allowing his power to also work somewhat like Fabian Cortez' ability to amplify the powers of others.

[Nachturne]

Cat, Aquabit, BakaRogue, Mystic.

[RickyD410]

Death- Kiden Nixon. Give her time powers a boost, and she'll be able to age anyone to their death in seconds. This combined with her ability to already disappear and reappear anywhere in an instant would make her pretty formidable.

War- Chamber. When the Clan Akkaba rebuilt his body, they gave him lots of power that he doesn't know of yet. I'm guessing his psionic energy is back, and judging from his new looks, he probably has Apocalypse's metamorph powers as well. Augment his strengh and speed and he'd be a dangerous dude.

Famine- Wither. Just imagine Kevin standing in a field, and opening his arms, and just watching everything falling to dust in front of him. Expanding his powers a bit would make him deadly.

Pestilence- Elixir. He already can take away or give diseases to people. If Apocalypse increased his power similar to Wither's, where he wouldnt need to touch people, he could simply walk through a town, infesting all the biological life with disease as he walked through. Pretty chaotic and unstoppable.

[BigMike20X6]

Lets see, I'd pick
Milk, from Marvel's humor book What The--?!
Powdered Toast Man from Ren & Stimpy (also published by Marvel /and/ he fought Spider-Man)
Razorback
and
Plant Man
Yes, I would love to see the heroes face the awesome might of...
The Four Food Groups of the Apocalypse!

[eurazn]

- Dazzler (Death): She would be of a possessed mind, roaming the land and blinding everyone indiscriminately by burning their retinas with brilliant light. Lasers and photon bursts would scatter from her eyes and aura. Her power to transduce sound would be amped to the point where people would be screaming but no sound would escape their lips. I think it's time someone unexpected took a dark turn like Angel did.

- Juggernaut (War): Let's let the full force of Cyttorak loose!

- Amelia Voight (Famine): She can transubstantiate molecules of matter into psionic mist ... permanently.

- Storm (Pestilence): Instead of locusts and frogs, she could bring sleet, hurricanes, and lightning.

i think this poster is right on the money

[FortKnox]

Come on these guys would make great Horseman for Apocalypse. They know how to give beatdowns, they would make Apocalypse a real force again and just think of the promos Flair would give to people like Cyclops and Wolverine.
